this would be where i follow your signature. my other computer died violently so i have nothing from it..
having said that, have you ever seen swings of 20 (not percent) between front and back for the same ranges?
i was okay with log tuner and excel and even started seeing patterns with just logged data.... through excel.
before i learn a new program i am wiling to make some manual adjustments based on a few things for the two weeks riding i have left..... after that i have many months to modify and learn new stuff :-)
what are average swings you can expect between ve front and back?
does anyone have an opinion about what the maximum difference should be in the same areas?
I agree with Andy as VEs from front to rear will vary widely and wildly. Look at them as 2 completely separate and independent air pumps and they'll breath the way they want to breath; independently.
If I see over 5% I start suspecting small issues like exhaust or possibly a vacuum leak. If see 20% then I start checking for crossed O2's then run a compression test and also check and clean all grounds and connectors on engine. Some possible culprits can be bad TMap, bad O2, exhaust gasket crushed into the port, Engine Temp sensor, Crank sensor possibly, bad plugs. It usually won't jump out at you. The scatter plot just tells you you have a problem or not. You have to look at sensors which the same program will do. I just use excel as that is what I have. No doubt the Program will work for you if not real familiar with excel. Much cheaper than excel too. What is normal was the question and definitely anything over 10 is too much for me. Keep in mind that a modified engine is going to drive the O2's nuts with reversion from the cams and exhaust system back pressure will contribute. You can turn off the O2's, Adaptive learning, and spark knock controls and reload the map and reset adaptive and see how bike performs and get it running that way and run log and see what the issue is without them masking it. You can always turn all that back on when you get it running. They are mostly fine tuning controls, which are very good for that. If the bike is running well with 20% difference between front to rear is when it gets real interesting. I have seen 40%, but bike was running like crap. The front cam was out 1 tooth advanced if I remember right. Bike was very sick also.
