remap

[mikey devon]

hi does any one know if i have my bike re mapped if it would void the warranty thanks :rolleyes:

[Dangerous Dave]

Knowing Suzuki, most likely.

What have you done to the bike to warrant a remap?

[mikey devon]

iam thinking of a remap too try too over come running issues around 3 4000 revs because of emission regs mech seems confident that will sort things out.. cant believe a 2 yr old bike without emission regs runs better than a new one.. good thinkin mr suzuki

At least with a powercommander it can be unplugged, remapping the ecu is irriversable (you can tell its be done but not whats been done)
So if there is a running issue you can unplug it and put the bike to std to avoid it being used as a reason not to repair under warranty

does anyone know roughly how much powercommanders bump insurance up by.

cheers rob ..do you know if the pc comes with diferent settings or do u need too down load them

eeerrrrmmm .. i thought that the sv chip was read only and couldn't be mapped, that's why you need something like a power commander.. or am i wrong as usual ..

sv ecu can be re mapped

You can reset a pc3 yourself,but usually its best to download a custom map...ie what exhaust & air filter do you have?,for starters.

It is reversible, and several remaps can be done to a OEM ECU depending on the bikes progressive state of tune.

It is classed as a performance part, no matter what you tell the insurance company, and to be honest it is OTT for the SV as a OEM ECU can be mapped to suit any state of SV tuning.

I would speak to a Suzuki dealer and see what they say with regard to whether a remap will void the warranty.

[mikey devon]

thanks dd spoke 2 them 2 day they said it wont affect warranty..we,ll see bout that if i need 2 take it back with running probs:rant:

[sinbad]

If you have running problems why aren't Suzuki dealing with f.o.c?

[mikey devon]

they say its down 2 the emission regs and suzuki setting the bike up on the lean side 4 that reason:rolleyes:

Correct, the later models are under the stricter emissions laws. When you come to fit a slip-on it can show it off more, especially if you have ridden a proper (Curvy) SV before.

[mikey devon]

agree there dd.. i dont supose doin the tps adj would make things any better b 4 spendin out on a remap :confused:

[sinbad]

Out of interest, what exactly are your "running issues" at 3-4k rpm?

[mikey devon]

when cold bike runs fine..i guess mixture is richer.. when warmed up in traffic 4 example when u back off throttle not as far as over run but roll it back slightly too 4000 ish or lower bike sounds as if it had a choke it was put on at this point sounds like its 2 stroking.dealer says hes balanced throttle bodys checked valve clearances new plugs etc so must be down 2 regs no fault codes where found either:rolleyes:

Yes you can keep on changing it or put the std bits back on and map it again to suit, you cant just load a std map and the parameters in the stock ecu have less tps points and less fuel % change available the a pc

Technically you do not remap a OEM ECU, you fine tune it to the engine. Besides the OEM ECU has more adjustabiliy in its range than you would ever need for an SV, the tunability of the ECU exceeds the tunability of the engine.

[Robw#70]

Top end there is very little gain to be had, the biggest gain is on the part throttle stuff and with remap software/boxes the throttle positions are fewer and at larger rpm increments making the fine tuning not as fine as it could be.
Anyone can map for roll ons, but the main improvements that can be had part throttle are not as great, with larger gaps between cells, the interperlation between the cells gives snatchyness, which is the main reason for a remap in the first place.

[mikey devon]

IS IT WORTH DOING THE TPS ADJUSTMENT B4 SPENDING OUT ON REMAP OR WONT IT MAKE ANY DIFF :confused:

[yorkie_chris]

No need to shout dear.

Yes.

Make sure it's in good condition first before spending money, no point remapping it at great expense only to find a loose clamp and air leak later.

P.s you should have bought a curvy, fuel injection is the work of the devil.

[mikey devon]

begining too wish i had. will give it a go thanks:p
