Hi Guys,
Jus thought I would add my .02. Zippers first is taking a stock 110 SE CUSE2. The are mappiing about 1,985 different combinations of throttle opening and fuel supply. They are going for a 13.1 AFR or Air to fuel ratio, electronically. This is for best performance. So, compared to a stock bike, this is more precise. Any way you twist the throttle and no matter what gear you choose, with 1,985 combinations, you should be within that range easily while it maintains your AFR.
Now, there are certain after market items. Zippers takes each common combination and will do the same for that 13.1. If you add Rhinehart Duals, Zippers will have a map for that. If you add a A/C, Zipperes will do that too. Slip Ons, K & N, etc.. They need a bit of time to work the different combinations. They then create a particular map or baseline map, for that combi. We are concerned with the AFR's. ZIppers maps handle all the other stuff so we don't have to be programmers.
From THAT point, the closed loop will keep the fuel ratio. SInce it will only allow certain (maybe 20%) automated or manual corrections, you need to have a base map for the changes you have made on your bike.
If you download the zippers smartIV software, you can go to the lookup tables and see the combinations they have done for the 06 bikes. There are a lot. 07 will take a bit to get going, but it will.
The closed loop portion is different than the stock application, becasue the stock bike only runs in closed loop in a narrow range. It becomes open loop when you accel or decel. The wide band that ZIppers has allows it to stay in closed loop, hence the AFR will remain close to constant. The advantage is that 13.1 is good wherever your combination takes you, vs EPA regs that will occur on stock stock, (EPA).
Finally, understand why there is a range you can manually adjust. For example, you can tweak so many different things you can give yourself a headache, but, lets say you are going on a long cross country trip. You can change the AFR to 14, which is still safe, but it will really increase your fuel economy. But it will not perform as strong. Now, what will happen, is that ZIppers is going to release a way for on the bike changes to AFR, so you do not have to use a computer on the road. That product exists now, but doesn't fit our Ultras yet. From the speedo, you can not only monitor parameters in the ecm< YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR afr'S. I think it is going to be a beautiful thing for sure.
See:

When they come up with a bezel to match, it would be a nice replacement for the stock speedo for certain.
