Did you get this from FuelMotoUSA?
I got the tune file initially from DJ directly. my leanest AFR table value is 13.8 in the cruise range area. the VE' have been developed through wide band auto tuning. i do notice the logged AFRs are slightly leaner than what my lambda table values are- it could be deviation error on the WB sensors. Since I am running full closed loop about the only way I could richen up VEs is to either richen the lambda table values further or play with CDE.

my idle, off idle is 13.2, 70-90 kpa is 13.1, 90-100kpa is 12.5, decel area is 12.5 with 12.1 in the trouble range 3000-2500.

My thoughts are that if the throttle blade moves less in lower throttle conditions it the might smooth out the transitions. It may also help with the pop, just a thought. When the bike was stock, I don't remember having that drop off/cut off being this abrupt.
makes sense- you'll have that j-brake effect as long as the injectors shut down on decel- the engine is effectively shut off at that point. that's why I think the injectors should always remain on for a motorcycle. my decel now feels smoother, no j-brake, but I have that damn ka-pow at 2800.

I have seen the screen shot of the things that are in the fuel cut settings table. The settings that the guys like Jamie at Fuel Moto is looking at is fairly involved. IF XXX and YYY happen when ZZZ is greater than some other setting..... That sort of thing.

90% of our calibrations have decel fuel cutoff in some form and nearly all OEM cals have it. When setup properly you wont even know its there, most riders dont even know there bike is doing it.

Also note that Tmax strategy is very different from the HD-Delphi ECM; Tmax does not use manifold pressure, it is 100% Alpha/N all tuning tables are based on TP X RPM, the HD-Delphi ECM is Speed Density and fuel/spark delivery are based on RPM X MAP X TP and which makes things far more dynamic, the closed loop strategy is also completely different as are the tuning tables between the two products.

You are welcome to email your map to jamie@fuelmotousa.com and I will take a look, also note very specifically what the bike is doing. If this effect is something you can clearly feel, or is it more of a sound you are hearing during decel.

Jamie yeh didn;t mean to cause confusion with the Tmax pdf- it is indeed a different ECM system, I just found the blurb on tuning decel interesting if decel fuel cut is disabled.

would the TPS-based VE bikes like mine be more of an alpha/n system vs speed density? sort of a weird mix- we do use map tables for spark and lambda but ve tables are only tps based. hybrid speed density + alpha/n?

*wow* major earthquake just now as I was typing this. You gotta love SoCal!

yeh I had a chat with Roy at DJ about it- there are different tables / values that dictate when the injectors shut off or turn on- apparently quite complex to mess with.

Jamie your revision in my tune file to the hidden code on decel fuel cut **fixed the issue** - Happy to report that the window shattering cracks are completely gone- I did some long hill runs and heavy forced decels that would normally result in giving roadside pedestrians a coronary- but nope, nice tame decel!

Damn well done sir, thank you!

Ok Jamie, what did you do?

Dog, did you get a log?
