Flash a finished calibration to your bike. Start datamaster and do a generic 02 data recording. Warm up the bike to get the juices flowing then start the recording.

Take the bike out to a safe place and crank the throttle hard to redline in 2nd and/or 3rd gear. Then take the bike to a long lonely stretch of hwy and start at 2000 RPM in your highest gear and roll the throttle to the highest RPM you can stand it safely or do this on a tall hill. If 6th shouldn't be used then try 5th then 4th but it's important to get two types of recordings... snap throttle in a lower gear and a roll to full throttle in a higher gear with a load. Bring the bike back home.

Stop the recording and close the datamaster. Reopen datamaster and open your last data file.

To the right bottom you will find a set of recorded values such as engine speed, MAP and vehicle speed. Double click on all of them and change their value to <none> in the pop up box. This will remove the clutter. Double click on any "none" value and change it to Knock Retard front then do the same to another one for Knock Retard Rear.

This will give you a straight line at the bottom of the left box. If you see a peek in these straight lines that would be your "ping". Click your mouse on a peek then look at the right hand lower box to see the degree of retard. Use the left arrow on your keyboard to move to 0 retard. That area of kPa is where you need to make an adjustment. Datamaster records history. This is why you need to look for the kPa area just before the knock happens.

Write each recorded event down for what cylinder and what kPa and RPM just before the event.

There are two successful ways of removing knock retard. VE increase at the effected kPa and RPM area or timing retard. I always increase that VE area by 5% first before messing with the timing.

Rinse and repeat until the datamaster table shows no knock.

 

Also zero out the adaptive knock retard table while looking for the knock retard.

 

How exactly do I do this? I uninstalled everything but the updater. Then I checked for updates and it pulled up all the files as not installed. I then clicked on datamaster2HD, master tune manuals, master tune 2 HD, and vtune 2 HD. Then clicked on apply selected updates. Did I do this correctly?

 

yup, that's correct

 

i can't seem to find time lately to do any more vtune runs.. How about I put it on a truck and send it to you.. :-)

 

Send it on... I'll send it back from time to time so you can wash it of course.

 

Bumping this thread a bit.

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

Ditto on that and have a safe one Dave.

 

Merry Christmas to all.

 

Please excuse my lack of knowledge question:

I had my bike dyno tuned and am very happy with the tune. The tuner told me the O2 sensors don't really do anything anymore since my bike is tuned out of their range. My bike doesn't seem to adapt to sharp temperature changes as well as it did when the O2 sensors were active. Would it be a big advantage to go to wide range sensors or to leave well enough alone.
