TE 610 with JD Jetting Power Surge 6X

[rjdenya]

My 2011 TE630 engine's power output in bone stock form was pathetic. The bike would surge, stall and barley get out of its own way. I knew a 600cc engine with a 45mm throttle body, giant air box and dual exhaust had much more potential. After adding a power up kit, set of slip-ons, JD tuner and opening up my air box the engine performed as it should. It now had the claimed 20% power increase over the 610 engine and then some.

I'm not familiar with the fuel map on the 610's. Are they lean from the factory? A riding buddy of mine has an 09 Husky TE610 with power up kit and Leo Vince slip-on pipe. He opened up his air box a bit more by drilling some holes. I think his bike could benefit from more fuel with a JD EFI tuner. Do any of you have a JD tuner installed on a 610?

Let's here what you've got!

JD said EVERY husky (or pretty much every bike) with EFI even in power up form is running pretty lean. I would guess the 610 is no exception.

I figured that was the case. I spoke with James from JD Jetting several times on the phone. He really spent a lot of time with me helping to dial in my 630.

With over 7,000 members someone must have a Husky 610 with a JD fuel tuner!!! Come on lets here your story!!

Hello?? Is this thing on??

My 610 is an 09'. I've got a Leo Vince slip on, the O2 sensor plugged with the resistor in the harness. I've been really happy with it the way it is. It doesn't pop on decel and runs really smooth.

Cool man. Happy to hear. My friend's bike has the same setup and positive results. I know the saying if it's not broke don't fix it. In this case I'm interested to see if there are substantial power gains with a JD tuner and the mentioned mods. My TE630 with pu kit and Leo slip-ons ran just fine with that set up. I knew there was more engine power and the extra fuel from a JD tuner did the trick. The question is how much if any more power is available with the TE610??

I'm currently installing the JD tuner in my 08 SM610. I've been running the LEO slip on with O2 sensor removed. I'm looking to to get more top end power after doing a couple track days with it as it currently struggles up top. Once I get it installed and dialed in, I'm planning on some air box cover mods to get more air. I'll post some feedback from my experience once I get it done. I'll be heading to the mountains with it next weekend for 3 day's of test and tuning....

Excellent! Some action!! Good luck and keep us posted.

Never seen the need to upgrade my TE610. More than enough grunt for what it is entended to do and I like getting 60mp/gal plus on the bone stock set-up. For unpaved it has more than enough to brake traction in 2nd and paved if I try, I hit 100. For more than that I have a Hayabusa.

I can certainly respect you being happy with your TE610's performance in stock form. The TE610 with just a power up kit runs fine with adequate power and respectable fuel economy. I'm interested in hearing personal experiences with TE610 owners that wanted more power and have a JD tuner installed. Having a JD fuel injection tuner gives you the ability to change settings on the fly in seconds. If poor traction or better fuel economy were a concern, the JD unit could be programmed to allow the stock ecu fuel settings to pass through it. In extreme conditions you could go leaner than the stock fuel map although I wouldn't recommend it. If you felt like burning some petro and throwing some serious dirt then just crank up the JD settings richer. I'm speculating that TE610's will react in a positive way just as TE630's do with a JD tuner. Just as Kelly from Motorsportz and others in the business have said, "JD said EVERY husky (or pretty much every bike) with EFI even in power up form is running pretty lean. I would guess the 610 is no exception." That statement pretty much sums it up.

IMO, it's nice to have engine power options for $206.00 with a JD tuner.

any more thoughts on the 610? i have done the powerup and pipe and was wondering if i should look at tuning/jetting. as it is the bike runs fine but a little more power never hurts....

cheers

This thread never got the attention I was hoping for. Please chime in if you have and exspirence with the JD tuner and the EFI TE 610. Thanks and don't be shy with the comments, good or bad!

Anyone??

I have just done a PU and Caterectomy - made a big difference. Then I set the valves that were tight and fitted a JDT = it is like a completly differennt bike!! Not sure how much is valves and how much the JDT but this bike is now really perky! Quick throttle respose, smooth power curve and can also chug along very controllably and happily if you want slow technical. I consider JDT excellent value for money and is plug and play.

I installed the JD and power up kits about 2 months ago. Bike already had Leo Vince. At first I was frustrated by severe hesitation when letting off throttle. Could not figure out how to adjust tuner to correct this. It would improve if I set green, yellow, and red low-defeating the whole purpose. Then I moved blue-yellow down to 2 and blue-red to 2 and this solved it; then able to move green, yellow, and red up to 5 or 6 with tremendous increase in throttle response especially mid range. Bike transformed, runs much richer. Uses a lot more gas. 80 miles on last tankful, but I am heavy on the throttle now.

Thanks for the input! I would like to hear form someone that had a 610 running just fine with power up and pipe, then did the JD tuner. This way you can let us know definitively if it was a big change due to tuner.

Just looked at the JD EFI website, unfortunately very little information about the product.

What do they mean by "6 levels of fuel injection tuning" ?

How does it allow for humidity, temperature or air pressure" ?

Is it simply trimming, or adding injector pulse time from the current ECU map, by winging it with trial and error settings, or is there a wide band O2 sensor in the kit? Even with the latter, how accurate is this?

Unless a motor is subjected to extreme duty, such as a Turbo, very high compression/RPM, running as lean as possible, but maintaining a smooth power curve is OK with the materials and lubricants we use today. The problem with over-fueling, while it corrects many tuning issues, is oil contamination and carbon build-up. The extra power available directly after modification, may not be sustained unless the motor is opened and cleaned. A proper ECU map will allow running the required A/F ratio at full throttle, however trim back to a smooth lean power curve away from full throttle. If fuel consumption (got 62 mpg yesterday) suffers for normal riding, it means you benefit at full throttle, however the map is not as good as it was before.

Is it simply trimming, or adding injector pulse time from the current ECU map, by winging it with trial and error settings,

The short answer is yes. Basically the JD tuner adds or subtracts from the base stock ECU mapping. It still compensates and the ECU does not even know the JD is there. In my experience on several bikes they all run lean. Adding the JD and upping the proper value always results in far more power and response. On some bikes it is drastic. IHMO it is about the best bang for the buck going and i LOVE the flexibility knowing i can "rejet" instantly and whenever I might feel i need to do so.

The easiest thing to do in any situation, is just to dump more fuel to the motor. Anyone can do that and if there was a deficiency the change will be drastic. It is an easy way to make money and manage perceptions. If not done properly, there are some serious disadvantages though. The gap between the ECU map and ideal map will not be a constant and will not be linear. Can they supply a detailed A/F graph, developed with their suggested map, for each particular model?

they program each unit for the specific bike. Thats why there are many versions based on the year and model. It's not just an open the garden hose deal. Everyone seems to love them and I have two, both make the bike run far better and cooler and no issues. If you don't like the idea I'm 100% cool with that but in my experiences these work great. Running bike horribly lean is not good ether. My personal TE511 was at JD for the tuning and A?F and Dyno runs. JD is well known for doing his homework and has done so here again. He has a dyno and A/F stuff on site and in use every day.
