Dale,
Thanks for all the help dialing in my DL1K3 with the Dobeck TFI unit. Using your settings, my V-Strom 1000 has smoothed out in the areas where the V-Strom’s are notorious to have problems. Right off idle it gets going in 1st gear much more smoothly and rolling on after upshifts is smooth now, without the snatchiness I had before. The big thing I have seen is 6th gear is very useable (doesn’t feel like it’s straining when rolling on at 70 mph) now at the speeds I run on the Interstate here in Colorado. It will pull from a lower rpm without the strain in the other gears as well. I played with the settings on my own, but ended right back where you started me.
The difference is very real.
With all that said, my gas mileage has stayed right in the mid-40’s.
You have always been right in telling me exactly how much better my bikes will feel once I am done the work. Keep in mind I haven’t even put on the 16T front sprocket or slip-ons…
Anyone that wants to improve their DL 1000 has to trust you and Holeshot Performance. I know I have the best running bike possible and the personal advice and help won’t be found elsewhere.
Cheers back at you, Dale.
