PHOTOS
Price $ 130.00 Updated for consistent performance
in all conditions!!
This bike
has lazy throttle response to small throttle inputs, and also the typical
abrupt on/off throttle transition problem that all of todays EFI bikes
have, as well as surguing and hesitation at throttle openings less than
50%. This product was developed to correct all of these issues. It will
eliminate all feelings of driveline lash and imprecise throttle response,
and hesitation.
What is"fuel cut" ??
"Fuel cut" happens when you close the throttle anytime above
2500 rpm (or very close to) on this bike, the fuel injectors will stop.....
Upon re-application of the throttle, there is a delay before the system
will start back up and re-wet the intake tract and combustion chamber.....
the rider feels this as a delay and jerky response from closed throttle....
especially while leaned over in a turn or trying to manuver the bike at
low speeds.
Under these conditions, throttle response is much less than precise.
I have designed the
FCE for this bike, and as a result there is a very marked difference as
to how much better this bike responds and behaves under any riding condition....
Using this product, this bike is transformed to a perfectly smooth and
predictable ride under any riding condition. It will also get rid of all
surging and hesitation issues at throttle openings less than 50%.... this
means the rider will feel less heat while the bike is moving too. This
will make your ST1300 feel much more predictable and noticably smoother
in all riding conditions. While not significantly affecting fuel mileage.
This
product will make a marked improvement in any year fuel injected
Honda ST1300 (2003 - 2010) because it eliminates the root cause of the
abrupt throttle response - "Fuel Cut" and it also offers the
advantage of adding back the missing fuel at part throttle without over-richening
any part of the fuel curve.
(Fuel
Cut is a federal emissions regulation requirement for all EFI vehicles
sold in the USA since 1980...... NO VEHICLES ARE EXEMPT !! )
Legal
Disclaimers:
The
FCE may not comply with state and/or federal emission laws.
The FCE is for "race use only" (by installing this product,
you take responsibility for any emission laws that you may
violate)
The FCE may not comply with certain parts of your warranty.
(check out the magnuson moss act of 1975 - your whole warranty cannot
be voided)
Just a few notes to address some potential questions
about previous attempts at fixes for these issues by their owners....
(1) Exhaust gas tests on a completely stock ST1300 with an aftermarket
58 psi fuel pressure regulator shows over-richening and power loss at
large throttle openings.
We recommend using your stock fuel pressure regulator on a completely
stock bike with a clean stock paper OEM HONDA air filter for the best
results. The reason for this is that EGA tests are nearly perfect on a
100% stock bike with an OEM Honda air filter and our product....
We want you to get the best possible result with our product that we made
for your bike !!
Changing
the filter and/or exhaust restriction will change the fuel requirement.....
In this case, there may be a need for your added fuel from a higher pressure
regulator.
The best way to try to adjust the fueling would be an aftermarket electronic
fuel controller such as a power commander. Higher fuel pressure will cause
over-fueling at small throttle openings where the extra fuel is not needed
and will roughen on/off transitions which is working against what this
product is trying to do for you.
(2) Using a replacement throttle tube is a completely rider preference
issue.... this will adjust throttle input sensitivity, but will require
more throttle movement to maintain steady speed.... Using the FCE, with
either the stock throttle tube or an aftermarket tube will yield the same
results.
(3) Using aftermarket exhaust or a different than stock OEM Honda air
filter and/or airbox modification will cause the bike to need more fuel
in certain areas, but not all areas.... this is best addressed with an
electronic fuel controller of some kind.
(4) Since most ST1300 owners will leave their bike stock, I have no plans
to test and develop any type of tuning program (fuel maps) for use with
aftermarket performance parts. This
is because there is no power commander available for this bike.
There are some fuel controllers that make basic adjustments possible but,
since I like to make precise adjustments where needed only, the lack of
a fuel controller available that will allow precise throttle position
and rpm adjustments of injector rates, I have nothing to offer that
is up to the standard that I like to make available to my customers.
