My TMax Shows several Rev Limiter Hits. And I have never Hit The Limiter!!! I also own a 05 VRSCSC, And believe me , I KNOW WHEN I HIT THE LIMITER!
Will the new firmware/Software fix this problem?
Thanks in Advance
I'm certain that the installation is *perfect*, Ron. I'll recheck though, and I'll zero the map and reload, go through the entire thing again, and I'll check what the AFR is with the engine off. But I have to say that, since I'm not the only person with the pinging problem - not by a LONG way, as you can tell from here and V-Twin Forum - I doubt it will help. Happy to try anything though. I'm still of the opinion though, that since the TMAT doesn't use the Ion sensor, and thus can't adjust the timing on the fly, it's going to be wrong for every bike at some point as the ambient temperature changes. Sure, as you say, there's always a solution - but that seems to be manual tuning, which is not what I paid all the extra money for.
Hear what you say about them having no intention not to respond or piss people off, but they DO do that; correct me if I'm wrong (happy to be corrected!) but it seems all they are interested in is sales; the place is always short staffed, because most of them are off to some rally or another to sell more product. Nothing wrong with wanting to sell, sell, sell - but they should NOT do that at the expense of those who have paid, paid paid, and need PROMPT - very, very prompt - attention.
Because the timing on the base map that is supposedly suitable for my bike is plainly way off, and my bike has a very common spec, (hence, I guess the many people with pinging problems), instead of heading off to Sturgis or wherever, they should be coming up with better maps, or even better, making the TMAT pay attention to what the Ion sensor is trying to tell it. How long since we saw a new map? The new firmware is said to fix SOME of the spurious log entries, such as the false rev limit hits, but not all of them. Shouldn't they stay home and fix that sort of thing instead of heading off to rallies?
I'd be delighted to be a guinea pig for improvements, and I'm happy to stick with them, giving it all my best shot to make it work as I have a right to expect, but I need to see some progress to regain confidence, especially as I can't go there! Too many people with pinging problems = too many maps that are wrong, in my simple view. I don't want the flashy new version of Smartlink IV to give me access to more things to adjust, I want it to AUTOTUNE like it says on the tin, so my bike runs well and my engine - a touchy subject for me - is safe. I don't need that last HP, I don't need the last ounce of torque, and I don't want to play with timing, charts, settings..... That is not why I bought the TMAT, and I want to like it, like Zippers, to be a fan of both.
