Purchased Ibeat V2 and cable from Semco - smooth transaction - everything as pictured in the website - works exactly as expected. I'm happy. MAT
Another happy owner of iBeat V2 and cable from Semco designs. Factory sealed disk so no worry about being a software pirate. If you want iBeat for your fuel injected Husqvarna get it from Semco. We have two 2008 TE's here. Both of them had the TPS out of adjustment, but not anymore.
Yet another! Received my cable/software yesterday in the post. Very prompt response and quick delivery with tracking to Australia. In my opinion it's a require purchase if you own an EFI Husky!
what exacty will this cd and cable do? do u gotta have an ibeat unit thing or just use the laptop? i been readin here and a couple other forums trying to figure out exactly what the ibeat does ,and now we gota cable and cd..
iBeat is the name of Mikuni's diagnostic software used on Husqvarna EFI system. In addition to the software you need a special iBeat interface cable which connects an XP or Vista PC to the diagnostic connector on the bike just behind the headlight. The current version of iBeat is V2 which supports all Husky 08,09 & 10 FI bikes. iBeat allows the user to make limited adjusts to the fuel map, allows for calibration of the throttle position sensor (TPS) and reading and resetting fault codes. There is screen that shows real-time parameters such as rpm, spark adv, injector pulse time and several others. It can data log several parameters for advanced troubleshooting.
Couldn't be happier with the quality of the cable and ease of use in regard to the iBeat software. It's VERY user friendly for those of us who aren't real computer savy. Makes diagnostics a breeze, and EFI adjustments couldn't be any easier. Found the right mix for my bike in a relatively short period of time in regard to testing. Money WELL spendt... Thanks again Seymore!!
The iBeat interface cable connects to the PC's serial port. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serial_port.jpg Many of the newer desktop and most laptop PC's have eliminated the serial port. In that case you need a USB to serial port adapter. ibeat works on XP and Vista. I haven't tested it yet with Windows 7.
EFI Do you have to have the o2 sensor in place to make changes? I was told by my dealer that the engine needs to be warmed up with the o2 sensor in place.
On the 08's you need the O2 sensor installed, connected and warmed up before making FB adjustments. It is a bit of a pain to have to re-install it each time. The 09-10 has added CO inplace of FB adjustment when the race connector is installed. I have considered designing a plug that simulates a working O2 sensor. That way you just reach under the tank and swap it with the race connector when making FB adjustments. It might good to have it designed with a switch that selects between race mode and O2 simulator mode to make tuning easier. I wasn't sure what the demand would be.
I just checked and luckily the old PC laptop we got from my wife's sister has the serial port. Thanks.
