Techlusion ?? Shreddr, Signit98

[posha]

Just a quick stupid question. Just installed new Techlusion to my 12s and dialled in Shreddr' s settings from a previous post and have a question.
Instructions say to run the longer of the 2 lead connections to the right hand side, is this while sitting on the bike or looking from the front.
Asking to make sure l have installed it right, because l have an exhaust flame about 6 inches long out the back of the pipe when you give it a rev while stationary. Looks great.

[shreddr]

I do believe that means as you sit on the bike, but I don't recall now, and I would have to take off the plastic to check it. One thing I will say is that I dont have 6" of flames coming out of the tailpipe. I would swap the connections and see if you still have the flames, and then I would check the settings, it is a bit tricky setting them so make sure you have them right.

[signit98]

...and when you are done, tell me how I can get that 6" flame!

I WANT IT!

Rather unusual, I might add... with a short exhaust while pushing the envelope, yes... but with an exhaust that long while stationary?

Sounds like a lot of unburned fuel and very late ignition... do you notice rough running?

I installed per instructions and didn't really think about it... worked and still woks just flawless for me...

you want a 6" flame?
install a nitrous fogger into the end of the header.
install a butane-flame type ignitor at the end of the fogger.
fill the fogger bottle with nitromethane.
rig up a toggle switch to spray nitro and fire off the ignitor.
Instant jet-car-type flame. Perhaps even longer than 6".

I do have a short exhaust and it is running rough since l put the box on, I will swap leads to see if it makes a difference, i did'nt think it would make a difference because the box works of the injector signal, anyway l will be out on the weekend to see how it goes.

I'm a long time lurker, but this is my first post. I have an R1200 S, with a full titanium Akra, and I get a little flame every once in a while but she runs as smooth as can be so it doesn't bother me. The flame does look cool, and I don't want to get rid of it, but I think I should get a Techlusion because I hear so many great things about it.

My problem is, when I go to the Techlusion website I am confused as to which part(s) I need to order. Could someone please tell me exactly what I need to order?

Also, any news on a Power Commander coming out for the R12S? I love the R12S, the only other bike I would consider in it's place is the HP2, which is essentially an R12S anyway!

Thanks for the help guys.

Welcome to the forum David. Where do you live. Congratulastions on comming out of the closet. I'll have to disagree with your comaprison of the R12S and the HP2S though. They do have the same shape and number of wheels.

...and the same frame, engine block... etc. EVERYTHING is interchangeable!

As for the Techlusion, what you need is Part #1334ST Gen III... that's the TFI Unit for the 12GS (nominally) but does the trick for all of the R12 Engines, it seems.

Just remember, that it is not intended for street use or use in any aircraft (or carriers thereof)

I didn't mean to say it was the exact same bike.

It is a R1200s that has been modified, basically a RUF Porsche.

In any case, I would like to have one, what I meant by that statement, is that I chose the bike I want.

Watch that you don't get a carbon buildup in your cylinder. I had a Techlusion on my R1100RS that was set too rich. I noticed a soot buildup at the end of the muffler. Sometime later I pulled the heads, and found quite a buildup of carbon. I spent quite a time dialing the pots in and eventually the soot was gone, the bike didn't surge and ran perfectly.

Has anyone here personally adjusted the valves or synched the throttle bodies on a their R1200S? I did it routinely on my R1100RS and always had it in a perfect state of tune. I've not attempted to do any wrenching on my R1200S, but would enjoy it I'm sure.

...it's just as easy, Tim... except the TB Synch... you can only do the upper range under load... the Idle is done via computer!

Thanks Ralf. I see you're as busy at work today as I am.

[AZ-Twin]

I thought Ralf retired.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't get a techlusion? I am not concerned about the cost, but I want to make sure there are no drawbacks to such a device, and if there are, do the benefits outweigh the dowfalls?

In addition, how is the installation? And how is it tuned? I don't want to start something that I can't finish. Thanks

I went for a ride today after leaving the bike on the trickle charger for a couple of days, battery was down, this with Shreddr's settings may have been the cause of the flame and rough running. Set the techlusion at recommended open pipe settings, it just gets up and goes, what a difference it's made.
Unfortunately l have lost the flame, it looked great.

What's the deal with the Rapid bike? I don't know anything about it, and I'm sure there are some experts here. Cost aside, is it more beneficial than the techlusion? Or is it just a completely different product, that does something different. If so, what does it do?

this has been covered many times here, search on both techlusion and rapidbike. They are different technologys that accomplish essentially the same thing, which is richening a lean stock condition. The RBIII has a few extra features, such as ignition advance and quick shift capability, which may or may not be necessary depending on what you wish to accomplish. For my needs the Techlusion has been perfect, easy to install and set-up, and obvious performance enhancement.

While sitting on the bike you will notice that the left cylinder is slightly forward of the right. If you are sitting on the bike the left side takes the longer lead.
