As I stated in the "Running Lean "thread , I would make a new one with my findings on running a fuel optimiser on a a straight stock setup.
The Dobeck EJK showed up today, and I got to wrenching right after work. It installed fairly easy. I mounted it in the storage compartment by drilling a hole through the bottom of the plastic compartment near the fuel injector. I then put a rubber automotive grommet in the hole to make it clean and keep water and dirt out. I found that grommet at Napa for $3. Well worth it.
Now the good stuff. I put everything back together, pulled it outside and started the quad. The EJK was programmed for stage 1 modifications from the factory. As the bike was warming up, I went through the different settings and confirmed that they were correct and recorded them.
I drove around the yard for about 15 minutes making sure I hit most of the different throttle ranges. It's a night and day difference now. The motor is running a **** of alot better, the throttle response from down low doesn't have that hollow bog, the mids feel more consistent, and I really didn't get to much into the top end, but it was more responsive and had a much better sound, no more tinny noise,, but a deeper I'm not starving for fuel sound
I did put my hand in by the exhaust, its hot, but not blazing hot like it was before. This wasn't a really good ride for a test run, but I had to see what difference this would make. I'm pleased with the results so far. If I get out this weekend, I'll do a more in depth review of what all I find experience. Seems like $225 well spent at this point.
