Well, I have been riding the bike for a bit. A few minor problems, but all in all I am pleased. I haven't had to push it home yet...always a good thing on something you've been building for two years.
Here is a video of the bike still on the lift...still programming the "Microsquirt" stuff. You can sure hear the blower whine. The idle is not perfect yet....it is so finicky to set...just a small change in the throttle opening and the blower pumps too much air...the rpm's drop...the map changes...the timing changes...back and forth...all the time the computer is trying to correct things...crazy stuff!! A natural aspirated fuel injected engine is a piece of cake to tune compared to this sob.
1977 Honda CB750 A supercharged/fuel injected tuningI installed a new program (Tuner Studio) for tuning the microsquit. It is easy to datalog the running engine and carefully study the graphs and make systematic changes wherever they are needed. I highly recommend all you fellows doing fuel injection using the Microsquirt to download this amazing tool.

I needed to datalog the engine under load and at various rpm's (Canadian redneck dyno!!lol). I had the bikes ecm hooked up to the laptop and was datalogging all the time during this episode. I tried real hard to get most of my logging around 3000 rpm's to 5000 rpm's...where most of the driving would be, but the engine kept breaking loose!! The highest rpm I took the engine too was 6500 rpm....anything over that I would keep things on the rich side anyway. I got some excellent data in the two short burnouts. The highest boost I had was 5.4 psi...which is perfect for what I wanted. I have my programming very close "up-there" lol...just a bit more things to do to starting, idling and idling under load (shifting into 1st or 2nd). All in all I am one happy Honda mfr.
..........Enjoy.............
