• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Convert PC V map to iBeat Map

Has anyone tried to take a power commander map and convert it into data that can be used with iBeat? Just wondering if there is a way to avoid having to buy a PC unit for each FI bike. It would be great if I could buy 1 PC V with auto tune, hook it up to a bike and massage the settings until I have a good running setting, export the PC map, convert to iBeat data and re-flash the ecu with the new iBeat settings and at that point I could remove the PC and install it on my other bike and repeat.

This would give me some good baseline settings and then if I ever ride in significantly different conditions, ie a race at sea level or very high elevation or summer vs winter etc, I can run the PC V with auto tune to polish up the map as required. Just looking to avoid swapping parts back and forth every ride or buying multiple PC units.

Bikes in question are:
'08 SMR450
'09 SMR450
'10 TXC250 (not in the garage yet but scheming a way to put one there!)
 
A bit more info to clarify why I would want to do this. I mail order all of my bikes in the crate and there are no dealers or buddies with iBeat locally to help get them running at their best. I'm all on my own here in the wild west of Alberta! I suck at "jetting" so the idea of getting the PC V with auto tune is perfect but I don't want to have to buy 1 for each bike or swap the PC unit out for every time I ride a different bike.
 
The the best practical way to do what you want is to get iBeat2.1 and the interface cable and one PCV with AutoTune.

Run the PCV/AT on each bike for a while to get an idea of what the Low, Mid & High range fuel map adjustments the PCV has learned. This will require you to average several PCV maps cells to determine the 3 adjustment points of iBeat.

Your 08 will only have 1 adjustment point, so you may want to leave the PCV on this bike to achieve multi-point correction or leave it on the bike you think gives you the best gain.

You also could put PCV's on each bike and move the AutoTune around. Once you have a good map, continuous tuning may not gain much.

I havn't seen many AutoTune maps to get any of an idea on how typical or non-typical they are for each bike model.
