Dobeck Performance Electronic Jet Kit

[Sidecar Flip]

Not really (on the dyno tune)

I have one on my R3 Classic and I installed it on to eliminate the trailing throttle (decel pop) that's synonymous with lean trailing throttle on emissions compliant engines. I tend to run what I sell first to make sure the product does what it says it will and it does and it does it without removing the Lambda (o2 sensor)

I'm not out for maximum power but I am all for a cooler running engine and one that don't 'fart' on trailing throttle.

An interesting tidbit and one I'll claim not to know about is Dobeck originally designed and marketed the Power Commander, then sold the rights to, of all people, K&N who then sold the rights to Dyno-Jet. I believe K&N had a full plate with their filter business and as an afterthought, sold off the PC rights.

The Dobeck unit is substantially less than the Power Commander and less than the original (non-hacked) Tuneboy. One thing I like about the Dobeck unit is it allows roadside adjustment of the a/f ratio to suit your whims, the Tuneboy requires a laptop as well as the hacked version. Not so with the Dobeck unit and the Dobeck is analog, that is, it tunes with a screwdriver, just like old fashion carbs did and still do.

I don't matter what tune is installed in the ECM because the Dobeck unit intercepts the injector signal prior to it getting to the injector, routes the signal (via a piggyback molex plug) to the TFI unit and modifies the signal to your settings and then returns the modified signal to the injector to control the pintle open duration...and it's plug and play with only the piggyback plugs to install and a ground wire. The TFI unit is powered from the injector harness itself. It's small and fits handily under the right side tin.

If Flip sells it you are guaranteed it works, I bought some face cream from him at Eureka Springs and it did wonders for my wife(I hope she never reads this)

You are living on the edge................

It works. I was skeptical at first so I bought one and tried it.

Wish I could try guns before I bought them....................

Thanks Flip. Buy all of the guns you can, the ones that don't shoot like you want can be used for clubs when the ammo runs out. Going to your site now.

Fliiiiiiiiiiiipppppppp!!!! Bout time you posted! been wondering how the winters been treating you??!! I think I have a slight mod to the paddock stand that could be useful for the R3T's. Need to extend at least one side out a little farther so the breaker bar doesnt hit the mufflers. Even with a 10inch extension it just clears. Shoot me a pm if youthink it might be worth while. nice to hear from ya!!

Yea Josey,
i got one and got it on, a long time ago. no problems,
I know I'm not too lean, and that was my main concern,
well that, and the decibel pop coming off throttle.
i like the fact it's simple to install, simple to adjust, and so far no problems with it.

Hey Skip,

I've been fooling around with the Dobeck unit all evening. I have the one with the LEDs (Gen3). I'm not sure if you have the one with the adjustable pots. Anyway....

Once I start the bike, the red and green flashing lights disappear and the unit scrolls back and forth with the green LEDS. However, once it finishes scrolling, the number 1 and 2 LEDs stay illuminated in yellow while the bike is at idle.

From what I understand, the Dobeck unit should be illuminated in the mode that it currently is is, which would be a green LED or LEDs, not yellow LEDs. Yellow LEDs are for acceleration mode..

I do not trust this EFI unit; I have spent a lot of money on my Rocket and do not want to damage the engine.

What does your display look like at idle? Green LEDs, or yellow LEDs?

Ah fergitabout Skip, I went ahead and yanked the Dobeck out for the 2nd time. Loaded one of Sam's enriched tunes (wtpred050). Bike sounds good after a 12 minute idle and me eyes are still burning from the exhaust; I think the fuel trim additions are working....

Dobeck will be returned. For a supposedly simple plug and play device, my gut instinct is telling me not to use it at this point.

I think a trip to Wayne Trip will be in order later after the RAA event. In the meantime, I'm going to experiment with Sam's tunes. All appear to be "fat" with fuel enrichment via trim tabs.

Sam,

If your reading this; do you have a little history about the tunes you have? Some of the notes in the various tunes that you sent us are lacking a little with comments.
