OK HERE'S THE DEAL! Yesterday, Got the dealer to install the 12 Hole injector and ECU kit that is technically for 2012 TXC 250. (Same part number as the jpg on the first page of this thread) The Mechanic set the CO settings to zero across the board and reset the TPS. Completely took off my JD tuner. Outcome...................THE BIKE WORKS SO MUCH BETTER!!! I tried the bike out in the snowy single track in the back forest and there was no more low end bog. I get a nice even power flow right off idle. very little throttle needed to get the bike to move now... I can now blip over logs and rocks way easier with no hesitation. Throttle response is the way it should be... So Definitely I recommend getting this upgrade for your TE 250 or 310. Almost $600 cost for the Dealer to install (Canadian Dollars). But well worth it!! I haven't been able to test the mid/top end because the roads were very icy... (had a huge dump of snow). Can't wait for things to melt now so I can really give this thing a test... HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE... Good for you Australia for getting this free with your 2012's. Maybe they will do that in Canada soon.. Who knows..
Good post Laura, I ended up with the Same Outcome.... your mid/top will be great to. Nice to hear from people, that "bit the bullet" and got results. I still have a PCV/Auto-tune for sale for all that seam to think they must have an aftermarket fuel tuner on there Husky ? $ 400, paid $ 600
Thanks for the report Laura. I know you're happy by the size of your font. I guess I know where my tax refund check is going .
Laura, do you know why the JD tuner was removed? I realize the bike is much improved for you, but without trying the mid-top range I don't understand why it wouldn't be left on in case you wanted to make some adjustments.
I realize that, but doesn't it just richen or lean the mixture based on RPM/Change in RPM? If so, I would've thought that it could still be used, but would need different settings since it was designed to provide a fuel map based on the original ECU and injector. For mine, it mentions in the documentation that setting all values at 2 is the same as the factory settings. Isn't that the equivalent of not using the tuner? That's why I thought you would still be able to richen or lean the mixture, if you wanted. Or is the problem that the TXC ECU and upgraded injector put the mixture at a point where no adjustment in the range of the tuner will get the mixture to an appropriate setting?
I don't know much about the JD tuner and if it works with the new injector. (The mechanics would know better) I guess it's a matter of testing it out. My boyfriend took the TE out for a good test the other day and he said the bike is fantastic in all gears. He loves the bike. "I" can't wait to ride it more and get to know it better. I hope that in the future these bikes will come with this upgrade.
Why would anyone add anything to a bike that is now running PERFECT Plug & Play, is beyond me ??? Check out CH and FAR racing.... and ask them about the JD and PCV ???
"IF" your bike is running perfectly, then I would certainly agree. That does not, however, mean that every bike will run perfectly with the same changes. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you also upgraded your exhaust?
Andrew, Yes I have a full Ti-Leo . I think the 12 port/ 12 TXC ecu will still make a stock bike (Arrow pipe) run better than paying $ 200-600 for a aftermarket tuner ?? My 250 is setup as a street legal (beer getter) and a SuperMoto Race bike on the weekends. I swap out the headlight and rear fender to pass tech. Only a few plugs are involved and I wish not to have any more... Bike Runs Great.
Gorgeous picture 510 SM SC, We made a license plate mount for my TE yesterday out of a sheet of plastic and mounted it where you have yours (right under the tail light). That stock signal light holder is a pain the @$$ on the trails. Mine actually came loose on the trail and ripped right off as it got caught on the back wheel. OOPs!! I heard that it's not illegal to not have signals in Ontario. Hand signals are sufficient. My boyfriend got pulled over with his KLX 450 (street plated, but no signals), and the cop couldn't argue with him because it's not the law to have signals. So I'm only keeping the front ones on mine. I agree that the JD is obsolete now with the new injector/ECU. Went for a slippery/snowy ride yesterday since it was above freezing, and had a blast. only dropped the bike once in the woods. it was hard to see the off camber wet branches beneath the snow on the trail so had to go pretty slow/cautious (not much out of 2nd gear). What a huge difference this upgrade makes even without the exhaust done. The BF and I are heading south to West Virginia (Hatfield and McCoy trails in April). I could really use that beach right about now though. LOL Laura
Glad to hear the good news! I'm now waiting on the full report- technical twisties and if it affects your fuel mileage noticibly. If I didn't have the need to lighten my wallet for some rad braces, skid plate and softer suspension springs I think I'd be inclined to try the ECU..
Yeah I think we're forever buying ad-ons for our toys and unfortunately it adds up quickly. I'd like to get all the bells and whistles, and that will happen over time. I'm still debating whether I need to lower it or not. I'd rather get used to it taller and save the money for other things. Possibly a rekluse down the road. I need to invest in some padded gloves since yesterday's ride gave me a nasty blister on my clutch hand. I also look forward to testing out this bike in all conditions and sharing experiences with others.
Laura, try these to prevent blisters, I've used them for my last 3 enduros and have remained blister free where as usually I would end up with three or four real nasties after a 2 hour race. http://www.riskracing.com/pages/Palm_Protector_Page.html
has anyone had any issues installing the new 2012 ECU on their bike, my shop is on the second ECU and cannot get it to work. We installed the 12 port injector but when the 2012 ECU is installed the bike will not run, will barely start. definitely not Plug and play in my case. We were thinking the first ECU may have been defective so we ordered another one from Husky and it's doing the same thing. He can't get the bike to run long enough to adjust the mapping. Any suggestions?? thanks,
