BigBlock Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 These arrived a couple days ago, thanks to board member (doug m) for the great deal and smooth transaction. What can I say, they are a work of art!! Haven't completed the install yet, but will post pics when finished. As it seems most people prefer to mount them high so that is the way I'm going. The bike right now has Staintune pipes (without db killers) and the FBF air filter kit. It runs great now so that is why I'm asking whether I should leave the stock ECU in or just put the ECU that came with the Ti exhaust. Any thing else I should know/do regarding installing this system.
Scud Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Bummer about losing the original thread - but looking forward to seeing these on your bike. Having recently installed a new set on my LeMans, here are a couple things I remember: Don't install the springs between the pipes and cans until you get everything lined up where you want it. I learned this the hard way. The motorcycle is not exactly symmetrical - and it is very difficult to get the pipes to terminate symmetrically in the back - but you can get pretty close. As for the ECU - why not just pop it in with the pipes and see how she runs?
Chuck Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I think I remember(roll eye) that the Ti ECU is just a little richer across the board.
footgoose Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 How much are they? pretty sure they were 1495.00 when they were available from Guzzi. Alas, no more. Last year there was a special "find" and some sets were sold by Harpers for 1000.00. They pop up used rarely, or "garage NOS" now and then. Keep an eye out.
BigBlock Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 Can hardly wait to finish installing them and hear those Ti pipes! Been kind of busy with some other projects so haven't had a chance to finish it, just got the exhaust hangers on so far. Since the Ti ECU map is available on Guzzidiag, would downloading the Ti map to my stock ECU be the way to go instead of physically swapping my stock one for the Ti ECU? Just curious. I would definately save the stock map before any changes.
MartyNZ Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Those are awesome pipes. They sound good, look good, and weigh a lot less than the stock pipes. They do dent easily though, so be careful. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19286&page=2&do=findComment&comment=209717 If you do get a dent, & need to repair them, there is a really helpful guide here: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13524&do=findComment&comment=146073 As for writing a Ti map on your old ECU, or fitting the new ECU, there is actually less effort to fit the new ECU. Even though the Ti map is richer than standard, you still need GuzziDiag to check that the fuel trim is a least zero. For me, +15 was better. Best of all for me is Meinolf's map #41. It is excellent! Load his map onto your old ECU, and the new Ti ECU will be left to gather dust. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17865&page=14&do=findComment&comment=213970
dangerous Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Any thing else I should know/do regarding installing this system. staintune all the way from Aussi? Marty pretty much covers it all... im interested tho you say it runs great, is it smooth through 2800-3000rpm? you should find with the TI ECU it will run even beter try it its only 4 wee bolts and a plug
BigBlock Posted January 29, 2017 Author Posted January 29, 2017 Marty, thanks for the links on the Ti exhaust I think I will install the Ti ECU, see how it runs. When you say adjust fuel trim you don't mean adjust the CO. dangerous, the PO had installed the Staintunes.
MartyNZ Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 When say adjust fuel trim you don't mean adjust the CO. Sorry for using sloppy terminology. Guzzidiag refers to CO trim. This is what I meant to say. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19641
BigBlock Posted January 29, 2017 Author Posted January 29, 2017 czakky, heres a pic with them on the bike when I first purchased it last fall, and a close up shot. 1
BMWDavid Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I have set of Staintunes on my '02 V11 (thanks Moto fugazzi) They sound great. Nice and deep without being too loud. I run them w/o the db inserts.
