I am trying to load base map for my bike and prompt tells me that my cable is not hooked up. It is but I had to get a USB/Serial port adaptor. Is this my problem?I am not computer savy so help would be much welcome.

 

Could be the adapter. I've heard there is a problem with some off the shelf. I got one from Zippers and it worked without a hitch.

Contact them. Their support is the best.

 

Some cables are problematic as mentioned and could be your problem . If you have already downloaded the driver for usb-serial and tried auto port setting with no results, most likely the cable itself, or you had a brain fart and forgot to turn the run switch on.

i also bought the one from zippers and didn't have any problems. when i called zippers they explained why a store bought one would not work.

 

I'll butt in on this thread to report about the cannon boom popping problem I had many months ago.

You sent me a .jpg map for a setting and I tried it and all the other suggestions offered here. The boom persisted.

I removed the heads a week ago and replaced them with a set of heads I had ported and milled. The S/E exhaust gasket had not properly compressed and were leaking. The c'bore for the gasket in a twin cam is a little deeper than an EVO and the exhaust flange was bottoming out against the head. A set of stock tapered exhaust gasket solved the problem. Not even a pop now.

Thanks for the input it helped rule out any electronic problems and pointed to a mechanical problem.

By the way. When are you going to fix that POS crank?

 

LOL. I'm going to run it this summer and tear it down in the fall unless it blows up before then. Glad you found the problem with the pops.
