Safe to Try Maps?
Safe to Try Maps?
From what I understand different mappings affect your timing curve and fuel/air ratio. So is there a possibility that different maps can affect reliability? I want it to run hard and fast but to me, reliability is #1.

There is no proof that a map can damage the motor as some people claim. you cannot bend a valve or trash a piston from mapping it can only be damaged from improper fuel injector settings( Injector offset or Injector flow) or poor maintenance.

That raises another question I had. Any tips on those two settings? Mine cuts out at 1/8 throttle and I think it may be a little too lean, but don't know what to change.
Do a throttle cal and try a blaze/speed map. Its a little smoother on the low end. Make sure your tps gives smooth readings and there are no trouble codes. I have tried some custom maps which will make a stocker absolutly rip but Im positive the engine life will be drastically shortened. I feel better with my engine mods that can make power so the high rev limit is no longer needed.
who knows
I have tried to learn as much as I could about maps and everything else with these cannondales , and I am running a moto/speed map with the 10900 rev limit in my quad . Tons of power !! maybe not the zippiest , but I don't ride the quad as fast as the motor will run.
I ran a hybrid map on a newly rebuilt bike motor and floated my valves and caused some damage , I take the blame for that because I didn't change or do anything to the valve springs , had to start all over, that motor is getting kibblewhite valves and springs and using the same map , it was fast . I am going to raise the rev limit to 12000 even or 12500 when i get someone to make it for me ( have the new z400 bearing and everything else in that motor)

So what happens when some yayhoo advances the timing a little too much?
