Welcome to the club!
My question would be, is there any break-in period involved, after the install? |
There is not Break-in involved just a learning period.
The Kit will come with pre-set values for Volumetric Efficiency that they have found from their 250 test bike, however this values might (will) differ a little bit from engine to engine. During normal usage the ECU will command the fuel based in this initial settings and will monitor the O2 sensors to see how far it is from what it commanded, the error is used to find correction factors that will be saved for usage during future similar conditions (temp, altitude, RPM, throttle, etc).
So in short, the ECU "LEARNS" your engine as you use it. you need to consider the following:
- ECU only learns in ECO mode, so you will need to use the bike in ECO for a little while before you switch to RICH/Performance.
- The ECU only learns based on the O2 sensor feedback, so the learning will only happens after the O2 sensor have heated enough to begin to work properly, usually 5min in my case.
- The ECU will need to learn as many different condition as possible, IDLE, tip-in zone, cruise, top-end, etc. So you will want to hit as many zones of the map as possible, usually normal driving will hit them all or the most used ones.
After the learning, you can switch it to Performance and enjoy the additional power
