How do you match COM with MacBook? you go to device manager with a windows machine, you need to match the COM with virtual machine & the Mac/PC. You need to attach USB in the tab at the top of the screen as well. Im running ibeat on a Windows 7 Pro laptop in Virtual XP.
Could never get my homemade cable to work. I ordered the adapter and OBD II cable from https://www.lonelec.co.uk/ took about a week and a half to receive it Installed this driver on an old Dell Laptop running Windows XP FTDI CDM Drivers 2.08.24 Set the Comm ports to match and Viola!!! it works!.
Quick question. I adjusted my 630 using @dynobob's setting and it runs well, but now I want to set up my TE 250. Because it has a 300 conversion (I think), I'm getting it checked / setup on a dyno. The question is about updating the CO with the engine running as I've not done this before. Can I connect, then start up and adjust CO on the go - do the updates stick if done like this so as soon as I change the CO the fuel is modified and the AFR will see the difference immediately?
According to the manual the engine has to be running to be able to change the settings at all. Here'a link to it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2kvk2rztd7bx6uc/iBeat_OperationManual-English.pdf?dl=0
It went OK. A bit confusing because I've never set up on a dyno with iBeat. I was expecting a clear split between CO 1, 2 and 3, but found changes to 1 also affected higher rpm / throttle values. The 250 apparently has a 300 barrel, but I can't find any Athena ECU so decided that the starting figures of 95-100-100 would be way too low. In fact, they were OK, not super lean, but the power curve was rough. After messing around with various brake settings, the engine seemed happiest on a richer setting at around 12.5:1. This gave a smooth power curve and good throttle response. We did try full throttle at one point, but we got a traction break on the roller, so it was a bit dodgy (knobblies). That run gave 24 BHP at the wheel. Final settings 100-110-110 gave a flat AFR through the rev range.
Hello! Help me, please. I read the entire forum about setting up ibeat, but I couldn't find the information I needed anywhere. please clarify, I have a lambda sensor. before installing the resistor, do you need to change any values of FB, TPS, WOT? now FB 100-100-100. WOT 102.4% at maximum throttle. maybe I need to change FB with lambda and then remove the lambda and put a resistor and adjust the CO?
When you remove the Lambda and install the resistor, the ECU will switch to Power Up mode, a different map. You don't need iBeat or to change any settings for this. CO can be used to change the fueling in Power Up mode, dependent on your setup (different exhaust and / or inlet).
I an't say as I have no experience of a bad ECU. Do you know anyone local with a Mikuni FI / iBeat Husky? Dorsn't have to be a 630. Try connecting to that.
I did not know other model ECU's could be used. Any idea what other bikes use Mikuni FI? I couldnt find a list
Hey guys, Got my Cable from the UK finally, going to try and connect to my TE630 tomorrow. Ive got Windows 7 32bit running on a laptop and I finally got the drivers sorted for the cable, but when I use the iBeat software it gives me communication stops error. I have set the COM port correctly, was just wondering if this is normal if the bike isn't connected? Just want to check it all works before I do it for real tomorrow. If no one replies before then Ill reply to this with an update anyway. Thanks.
you have to use xp with windows 7 will not work. in any case if the bike is not connected to the access panel you will always have an error message. here you can see how I connect View: https://youtu.be/8U6oy8XtS20
Thanks alot for that, puts my mind at ease now. Currently have a PU plug and dual Barrett exhaust on my TE with snorkel removed, will change CO from stock to 102/105/118 as an initial test and then go from there. Really appreciate all the info in this thread, has made my work alot easier.
