Flo-Commander for pilot circuit

[mik_str]

So, I installed a Flo-Commander on the pilot circuit of my carbs (already have one for the main circuit). Did this for two reasons: to try it (like the way the unit works on the main circuit) and secondly as my pilot circuit has been rich ever since I installed my (homemade) X-Wing. So, 30 or so minutes later, it was in and I just got back from a ride. I was able to lean out the low-end (hard to believe, but it was rich with 40 pilots and fuel screws out 1/8F and 1/4R). By turning the adjustment screw CCW, I finally got it perfect and the bike picks up cleanly from any rpm and response is now immediate regardless of speed or gear. I can't really imagine it being better than this, but I guess I'll have to reserve judgement until I try the Factory Pro set-up with HDJ needle jet.......

cheers

Sounds like a good mod and starting to think about fitting them myself :[FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE]

they don't perform any miracles, but they sure make tuning a whole lot easier than tearing into the carbs all the time. They also allow simple fine-tuning for temperature and elevation.....

If it's another nob to play with that'll do :-)

It would be great if you could have one for each cylinder.
Now that I have the lambda sensor fitted I can't tune them both together and despite having a 188 main on the rear, and a 173 on the front. The problem is, the rear is too lean, and the front is too rich; so the adjustment needs to go both ways at the same time....

I'll have a bit more playing with it at some stage.

how this come? Due to new airbox? I expect that each cylinder will have different power delivery if it is working only with this setup.

No reason you can't.... just open up that wallet You should be able to afford it, what with the money you save by not providing scones I mean......

Would you like some cream and Jam with them.

Flo commander on the pilot I think is a fantastic thing to have. More important than mains IMO as this is where things are fine tuned more so for climate. Slight seasonal adjustment that is, I'm not talking taking a ride to Denver. It may also help with low down transitions to the slide and any coughs/farts. I'd love to see some pics of this set up once you get it all fitted. I'm really looking forward to hearing how the bike behaves/runs with your new set up from FP and with this flow commander. Should be very cool, I want one. Flow commander for the pilot that is. Is it a special order from them as they don't advertise a pilot for out bikes? and how much?

WHAT ?

[VTRDark]

What, where, why, what, how much have you got

I e-mailed the company and he put a kit together for me (nicely done, comes with VTR-specific mounting instructions).

Cool....thanks mik

Im working one one that will work for each cylinder and mains. So 4 adjustments. Just need the time and money to build it.
