hi guys!
Changing job so have a couple of weeks for myself. I'd like to stick my hands inside my '07 Uly
to clean/tighten/replace and most importantly learn something (I'm a noobie) and useful about this thing I ride everyday.

Besides cleaning/polishing every part I can reach, checking plugs/oil/tyre pressure and tightening/replacing screws etc I'd like to:
- Understand ECMSpy
- TPS reset + idle adjust (my idle is at ±900rpm)
- Sort out the shaky front brake (warped disk or crappy pads - who knows)
- Clean the throttle body
- Check/grind/grease all ground terminals and possibly run an additional wire from battery to engine coil
- Check tension of primary chain
...

I'd love to hear your tips on any of the above or suggestions on other things I could do on my own

Also, I'd say (but I never tried another Uly) that my bike runs fine overall.. but it could definitely do with a dyno run to know whether some ponies have run away or I'm just being paranoid.
Would anyone be able to recommend a good (competent and not as expensive as Warr's) mechanic in London who could dyno+tune the ECM (cold enrichment might be a good start)?

Thanks once again

What mileage has the bike done ?

Have you got the manual for the uly. Look in downloads might be one in that section not to sure.

ECM you really need ask pash or gunter very nicely.

tps you can do yourself very easy

front brake - has someone been putting a disc lock on the front rota ?

throttle bodys very easy.

you could also do with nipple mod if not already done so. when where the bearings last changed as these should be done every tyre change.

I would not bother with a dyno run on the uly just get a good map and see how she rides.

Two places to go the UK for any buells 1 = 2= B/Bear

We're at ±22k miles



Have it!


I read the tuning guide many times, replacing the map seems straightforward.. I'm just afraid of screwing the bike up



No, and it's odd as the shaking only ever started after I replaced the levers


Any tips/products to do this?


I'll PM mr Maz



Replaced both at the end of last summer



Is there an archive of these? Or could someone send me the file for my setup?
'07, remus revolution, p/x filter, breather re-route


I'm considering the trip!

Thanks again!

ECMSpy is a tool for changing your EEPROM content on the ECM. Rather than understand ECMSpy, you would be better off understanding what you want to do with ECMSpy.


Easy, there is a How To for this.


If it happened after you swapped the levers, why not swap the levers back and see if the pulsation is still there? I bet it is and I bet you 50p, this is pad deposits. Pull the disc and run round with some emery paper. I have tried scotchbrite and harder pads to try and wear these deposits off with limited success. My quest led to a disc hone, which I have yet to use, but I reckon running the disc through emery paper would do the trick. I will be doing that on my disc when I get the enthusiasm...


Pull the air box cover and spray some carb cleaner in. I would have the engine running at the same time.


Great idea, but why this additional wire?


Follow the manual...


Do a TPS reset and maybe check your static timing. You can use ECMSpy or just look for the trigger of the pump when the timing line is in the centre of the timing hole. Not sure where your ponies will be hiding, more likely to be you getting used to the bike. At 22k miles, I would have thought your piston rings would not be particularly worn out


You only need to do the TPS to start off with. Lets not get too excited about tuning, it will get the last 5% out of the bike and make it run smoother, but to be honest I couldn't recommend anyone, the more I read about how people tune, the more I am convinced they don't understand how the ECM works and that my friend is the key... Take note of praise for when people have had their bikes serviced by him, 'it runs much smoother' and 'feels like a different bike', will not have done anything special to the fuel system apart from ensure that everything is as it should be, no tuning involved...
