Since they cant ride them on the rollers (loaded test) states that test bikes now are warm idle tests. So dont sit there waiting your turn at idle..shut it off..cause if they check for NOX , high combustion chamber temps will make it high. You want the motor at normal operating temp....not HOT.
Set the warm idle speed up to around 1300 rpms if there is ANY kind of cam in the motor other than stock....added over lap due to increased duration will really add to the HC emissions at normal idle speeds of 950-1000. So the raised idle that smooths the motor out and eliminates the "lope" also really cleans up the exhaust and drops the HC's significantly.
Good info, just what I was looking for if I have to trick fuc the machine. With my cam I have to idle really rich 12.9 or so to hold 1050 RPM.
I may have to let someone go ahead while I have to put the laptop and the serial cable on the TCFI.:yes:
Or get there early, stop around the corner and load, go to them, park and cool off. With the o2 sensor I can see where I am at so if 12.9 yields 1050 on hot idle I would increase RPM to 1300 and follow the math on AFR.
The sky is not falling, it is just getting a little darker on the horizon, we need to be looking at what we MAY have to do to run our bikes the way we want.
Push comes to shove I got the bike I am going to die with in the Road Glide so I would declare it a custom as a last resort. As I said before it is the younger guys that are going to hurt on this as they may not be ready to commit their ashes, to their current bikes.
I think there will be a "grandfather clause" and those bikes will be of great used value when all this "war of the EPA" shitz hits.
