Are we going to talk about a 4 pin (J1850) or 6 pin (CAN) system?

Since we are going to talk about CAN based product, how about you go make a log on your bike and post it up so we can review it and then it is something, anyone, can reference as we discuss things. I'm looking for the log not a graph of the data. As for the skew amount that all depends on what is being missed and part of that is engine speed related. The ECM when reprogrammed is capable of ~220 fps so this is NOT a buss speed issue on the CAN buss bikes.

Here's one for warm up, cold to EITMS kicking in, no throttle just idling, that you asked about earlier.

This is a 2014 CANbus 6 pin from a PV. Last auto tune of the VEs showed only 0,1 or 2s across the table. New map flashed to bike. 10 minute run. Total cool down. Warmup and log

Anything useful to show and tell?

PS it's not the smoothest idling Harley I've heard but it's not horrible and I'm still looking at timing

OK I have taken your data and pulled it into Excel. I dropped a few of the items out that were of no use and added a few columns in the beginning to keep track of time from startup. I've marked where it goes into Closed Loop and then mark a few other areas. Let's see if you can get an idea of why I marked these areas.

Line 13455 (Time 1005016ms) looks like the ECU has richened the mixture prior to switching the rear cylinder off (EITMS) ...not sure why that line specifically other than injector pulse width at highest ??

Line 528, Closed loop not enabled for x about of time (looks like 38 seconds or so) after engine start (I notice it does this after every start, hot or cold) ??

It looks as if it takes another few seconds before the O2 start switching properly ?? ...and they don't seem to switch all that quickly ??

(don't tell me my O2's are k'nacked when I swopped the exhaust ?)

Look at the O2 voltage 524 - 528 then again at 532 - 534

Look at Integrator and Adaptive at 529, 530. Note how one is trying to Remove VE and the other Add VE at the same time.

Look at 13455 Front Integrator and Adaptive are both trying to reduce VE but Front O2 shows 0.06 volts which is dead lean!

13455 - 13485 Front O2 shows dead lean the whole time, that's over 2 seconds! Look at what the Integrator tries to do.

Now do you think averaging or using these data frames just might screw things up when tuning? You have to look at the data then get rid of the bad data First, then try tuning it.

Those lines are into EITMS being active so not sure how that affects what you pointed out, having said that, looking back up through the logs, there is an awful lot of (edit) rich CLI and AFF but lean O2 voltage there but only lasting about half a second (e.g. 7546-7553) ...are those also wrong?

(edit) is the CLI rising to 118% being manipulated by the EITMS strategy to richen the fuel?

I'll have another look at the rest of what you've pointed out over the weekend and hopefully others will join in with questions.
Have a good weekend
