Hotrodding the GS - Page 123

opposedcyljunkie · 11-18-2011, 10:21 AM

Poolside,

I ride in a warm environment where average riding temps go from 80 to 100F. I was under the impression that I need to get the mixture richer as the ambient temps go hotter for better drivability. And that means further lowering the temp read by the ECU from the AIT module. But reading some parts of this long thread seems to say the opposite. In my case, would the proper direction be to use -10c or -30c on your IICE Air, coming from a -20c setting?

I currently use a BoosterPlug which supposedly reduces the temp read by the AIT by 20c. It seems to work but there is still that snatchiness when in the off-idle and lower rpm throttle positions. I'm guessing that it's a sign of a lean condition which could be further improved.

Thanks for any advise.

Be still my heart, could it be? Hope there's not another JG in Texas.

Woohoo, DH in OR

Might have to figure out a way to strap the ski to the front tire.

Ahh, that your name isn't on the list? But seriously, and jovially

, it doesn't mean anything, Magoo. This batch and half of the next fills the last of the previous pre-orders. Then starts the orders from this Final Sale. I think your invoice explains that.

And speaking of long-time prior orders... You wonderful and patient folks that have been waiting and haven't yet lynched me, THANK YOU for your patience and confidence!

This device looks great. I recall putting a PC on a previous bike (non Bmw) and it made such a great improvement. Sounds like your device will also be well worth it .

A question though.......my bike (2001 GS) only has 6200 miles and seems to run great. Will your device make an improved difference on my bike with such low mileage? Does your device generally work better for bikes with more mileage?

Want to get in on the order if you think it will make a big difference to a "basically new" bike, even though 10 years old.

Thanks!

B&G, the IICE Air works great on all fuel-injected BMWs, high mileage or low mileage or brand new. It does a super job on the 1100/1150 motor, and equally well on the 1200s.

, here is another reply. First, I suppose a person doesn't need anything for their bike. So it boils down to want.

To that end, if you want better and crisper acceleration, get an IICE Air. If you want more response when you crack the throttle (aka: transient throttle or tip-in) get an IICE Cool. Something to understand is that acceleration response and transient throttle response are two entirely different things.....

If a person just wanted to fix the preceived issue of "snathcy throttle" coming off idle,
which unit would more likely address that issue - the IICE Cool since it is the transient throttle response fixer?

Half the folks that tried an IICE Air thought their bike ran pretty much fine without it. Then they found out what they were missing.
