  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

JD Tuner Question

Can the JD tuner do what the dealer does in terms of remap? I'm lookin at $75 for remap at dealer or $225 for JD Tuner. If it can do what the dealer is going to do, I'd spring for the extra money in order to do fine tuning later. First fuel injected bike, I apologize if this is a dumb question.
 
I understand that the dealer can only adjust co1, co2, and co3 with ibeat. That corresponds with idle/low, mid and high range air:fuel ratio. If you know what your doing or are prepared to tinker than the Jd tuner has a much greater range of adjustment. It also has the ability to change settings out on the track/trail so again, if you know what you are doing than you could change the map to suit the conditons.

Saying that I owned a Jd tuner and I took it off. In the end I just got the dealer to use ibeat to richen the co1 (equivilent to dealer remap) as I wasnt interested in the abilty to customize, just wanted more low end power which is what I got.

I'm not sure how the JD tuner works with the Keihin FI bikes. I doubt very much that it would be a replacement for the remapping, rather a possible supplement to it, but that is just speculation on my part.

The JD tuner was excellent on my '09 250, but I haven't felt I needed it on my remapped '13 310R.

You could ask Tinken what Zip-Ty charges for ECU remapping. You'd have to remove your ECU and send it to them, however.

Don't forget that you also need the TXC air filter frame, and probably suitable gearing to replace the stock 40 tooth sprocket.

BTW, the other item you linked to also requires a different ECU, and a power control switch. You're easily over $1000 for that setup.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I have no idea what I'm doing so I'll probably just go with remapping. It sounds like its unlikely to be needed after the one time. I hear Map 3 is best even without doing new exhaust.
 
No, the JD will not replace a remapping. A powercommander 5 will, but it's cheaper to do the remap. For racing and fine tuning the 310, we recommend a pc5 on the 310.

Thanks for clarifying Tinken, makes sense now. I'm gonna try remapping only before I buy anything, from what I hear, alot of guys have no need for further tuning.
