Fueling reply
Hi Stoppstadd
I left the motorcycle trade as a mechanic after 12 years & now have work for Volkswagen for the past 14 years. As a workshop foreman. I have been playing with fuel injection systems for a few years now. So the Xt was pretty easy to sort out.
I used 2x. Adjustable resistors from 0 Oms to 1k Oms, rated voltage 50VDC & 0.8 watts. You can get them from you local electronics shop.
I cut the Coolant temp wire green/red in half, just below the fuel tank. Ran two wires from the variable resistor to each end of the cut wires & joined them. IE, the resistor between the cut wires. I did the same for the Air temp sender. IE, the resistor between the cut wires.
I then went in to the dash into zone 5 & 6, then adjusted the Air & Coolant temp sender deg C & found after may hours playing. The best variable for my bike, being 5 degs C below the actual reading. I can turn the resistors to 0 Oms & the bike is back to STD for work, good fuel consumption. Then can adjust the resistors up, in turn lowers the temp deg C, for the weekend mountain racing. I have marked the resistors 5 & 10 degs settings, for quick adjustment. I had already adjusted the CO up some time before I carried out this mod.
