How about "Stick this up yer arse you thieving Pommy scumbags!" Works for me.

The race is on! I'm still chasing quotes on my end. DGI has the file on the West Coast.

#1 verify the throttle kicker is fully closed. #2 look at all the throttle linkages and be certain there is no binding anywhere and be sure throttle plates are snapping shut when you are releasing the throttle

Nitpicking, but... @Lucky Phil : I know you already know this, but not everyone does. It is not true that Guzzidiag is not accurate enough. All that it does is show you the values being delivered by the ECU, and it does that precisely. The ECU sees values for the TPS in largish steps, which is to be expected from a fairly low resolution analogue-to-digital convertor. For those who don't know what one of those is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter they are in a lot of digital devices. I've had to learn about them because they are used to digitalise the analogue signal from microphones and deliver it to digital audio devices. For the sake of completeness, the other end of the chain is a digital-to-analogue convertor. It turns the numbers back into a voltage, but that is not relevant to the subject at hand. Having said that, the voltage outputs from the ECU for the various things that it supplies a voltage to will most likely have D-A convertors in them. The TPS delivers an analogue signal (a voltage) to the A-D convertor, which turns the voltage into a number for the computer (the ECU). An A-D convertor always produces a series of values that increase in steps. The higher the resolution (the number of bits in the number it delivers...), the smaller the steps. The one in our ECU is fairly low resolution. I believe it is 8 bits, but that is a bit by-the-by to what I am getting at. The resolution is low, but it is nonetheless sufficient to adequately track the throttle movements. The smallest number the ECU receives and can deliver to Guzzidiag, i.e. the lowest step the the A-D convertor can deliver, is the aforementioned 3.9 ° . This first step equates to "nothing is happening yet". Over and above that, the numbers tell the ECU how far open the throttle is. By comparing to previous numbers, the ECU can caculate if the throttle is closing or opening, and how fast it is doing so. Below 3.9°, i.e. when the voltage delivered by the TPS is too low to register above that first step, the throttle is closed as far as the ECU is concerned. The bike is "running at idle". Setting the TPS accurately requires reading the real voltage that is being delivered when the TPS is (really) fully closed. Because the ECU sees everything below 3.9° as closed, one must use a multi-meter to measure the voltage directly on the TPS. As mentioned at the outset, Guzzidiag shows you the numbers that the ECU is seeing. The ECU can't see anything below 3.9°, so that is the lowest value that Guzzidiag can report.

The dog doing the mosey-by brings this down home backyard music to the right level...I guess we're talking deck level.

From the sealing face on the sensor flange to the centre of the sensor is 135mm plus the 2 mm thick sealing washer so 137mm total. I made the sealing washers myself from HDPE and will make any plastic components I need from the same if the final design needs a plastic component. Phil

That's funny Pete! I will work with pressureangle and see how we go... Of course the big thing will be determining a final cost. This isn't a money making exercise... it's to help everyone out, so I will post all costs once determined and see where we go from there. PhillipLarsen: We can ship to Canada with a declaration that it is a Trivet... tax rate is probably better that way. ;-) ha ha.

Confirming I (PhillipLarsen) am still needing one plate. I am in Vancouver BC Canada. Thanks for everyone’s efforts to design and manufacture these.

My point is when you mark the throttle housing to give you a rough indication of the throttle position don't mark the fully closed position as zero or you'll be even further out in your already rough and ready attempt to indicate throttle opening. Yes a multimeter is required because GD isn't accurate enough. Phil

Or, as Meinolf would tell us, precisely 157 mV.

I seem to recall reading (from Beard) that the ECU can only read a minimum value of 3.9 degrees. To set the throttle bodies manually, a multi-meter is recommended. The voltage at fully closed should be about 150 mV. .

Just see what Guzzidiag indicates as closed throttle degrees. The fuel map has throttle position break points below the actual throttle blade degrees at the set idle position. So your bike will probably have a throttle angle of 4 degrees or so at idle. Dont assume that the lower throttle break points like 2, 2.4 2.9 etc are a factor when you are estimating your throttle percentage from fully closed when riding. Your base line closed angle is probably around 4 degrees not zero. Just sayin.

Absolutely. One of the positive connections at the battery was touching a bit of metal that isn't a part of the electrical system. There are many connections to the battery's positive terminal, including a quick connection for a trickle charger. The quick connection was the issue. I removed the connections and then put them back in a manner where this was no longer an issue. As for the high idle, after more tests, it's not simply a "high" idle. Upon starting the engine, it revs fully, as if I'm fully opening the throttle. It seems to be a problematic cable, or something gummed up within the throttle body. Or it's simply running overly lean?

Pete Thanks for the reply and sorry to bother you with this. Ex Sydneysider here (and part Kiwi but don’t hold that against me, OK?) 100% behind you, your beliefs and intentions. Same guy here! Not sure how many people may want one but I’ll look at making 4 or 5 and will sell them with attribution to you and a donation to MSF. Will post more details once I get the file. I’ll message pressureangle …. Thanks! Andrey

I'm still around. I'm more than happy for others to manufacture plates to my design. What shits me is when I'm not given credit for the design and people pocket all the profit. By all means make a few bucks to cover your time and effort but if selling them to people add enough to the cost to make a donation to MSF. I don't think that's too much to ask? Simply stealing someone else's work without any by-your-leave like the pricks in Huddersfield did and selling it without any attribution or charitable donation shits me to tears but as I've said before, every morning I wake up in Bungendore. They wake up in f*cking Huddersfield! That fills me with great joy!

Don't forget to calibrate your throttle closed position to the angle guzzidiag reads out as a closed position. It's not perfectly accurate but it's not zero either remember. Zero out the Co setting as well. Phil

Since the off topic posts here now exceed the relevant posts, I'll make a new topic for the interesting discussion unrelated to the bike for sale..... https://www.v11lemans.com/forums/topic/30805-motorcycle-importexport-adding-aftermarket-parts/
