The third thing was to remove the internal baffle from the air box. That was a big job. Half the bike needed to be taken apart to get the air box in and out so I could remove it. Next, the cams were swapped. This pair of 790 knockers has only 600 miles on them. They are like new and they were resting peacefully in the spare parts pile.
Now comes the hard part. Installing the map. This is not the hammer and screwdriver stuff I usually do. There is a 1/4 inch tall pile of manuals and user instructions I read about 3 times each before I could get all the stuff I scrambled unscrambled. Drivers, serial ports, etc. Finally I got everything working and found out I ordered the wrong map. The Dorset folks sent me the right one and this morning and I loaded it in, fired up the bike, and rocketed off down the street. Then it started to rain and I had to come back home. The short test ride says there is less low end power, more mid range, and a lot more horses on top. Perfect. Just what I like.
There is more to be done. I need to syncrhonize the throttle butterflies, adjust the throttle position sensor, and to figure out how to turn off the idiot light on the tach that says the engine management system is not working. This experience will help the LSR program. It is a fun way to learn.
