Mil tool knowledge needed.

The spare mc500 came hooked up to a wiring harness. Would the mx harness have any noticeable differences?

thanks for the info guys!

I think the MX didnt have a key switch and the lengths of wires would be different also.

[fx400]

After looking at it, I can see it has head lights and tail light connections.

[cannondale27]

I would say it is a quad ECU then.They didnt have a bike with light till 1000 came out.

I went to turn the screw toward the swoosh fat end and before I did I noticed it is a little loose.Is the normal?Can I go ahead and turn it a little?Clockwise corroct?

[cannondale27]

I think thats normal.Toward fat end of swoosh will make it richer.Just a little bit makes a big diff.Dont go more than 1/4 turn.

Do you do the adjustments with the quad running or not?

[cannondale27]

Doesnt matter.You might notice a little bit of change in idle but I doubt it.Remember just a little bit of a turn.

I have also turned mine, 1st a 1/4, then a 1/2, then a whole turn to the richer side. Could not tell any difference at all, my time slips stayed about the same, 3.9's to 4.1's in 200 feet. I hooked up the mil tool today and changed the fuel trim to 8% above the base line from 2% below the base line(from dealer). I did this to richen up the fuel to make up for the bill's slip-on pipe and direct k&n air filter mod. I am going to a race tomorrow, hopefully I can drop a tenth or more.

Keep us posted on your results.There are many threads dealing with mapping the 1000 systen but nothing for the 500 system.
I also turned the screw 1/8 turn to the richer today and went ridding.I noticed it ran better and did not have the popping all the time nor did I have the flame from the rear.
