Evap Canister Removal Question

I didn't say I was original.

I just got back from a 100 mile run with the Danish tune for those mods. In a couple of words.............. HOLY SHIIIIIIITTT.

As Warp says, it "pulls like a freight train." fuel mileage went from 36-38 to 45 mpg. I had to go buy a fancy set of $15 ear plugs just to show Ol' Blue some committment to her new configuration. She's happy, now. The dyno numbers from the Danish guys (listed on the .net site) put this tune at 152 h.p. and about 165 torques. I think Ol' Blue is pretty close to that.

Today's Weird Stuff:

1). The odometer is messed up. After exactly 90 miles (as measured by mile markers), the trip meter showed 72.7 miles.

2). Because the odo is messed up, I have no faith that the speedo is anywhere near accurate. I rode a back-country highway, so there was no means to judge by watching other traffic. And I didn't put a stopwatch on it.

3). Fuel gauge is also messed up. The half full mark used to be right at 100 miles. Today, it read half full at 65 miles (tripmeter indicated). All with an increase in fuel mileage from 36 to 45 mpg.

Now I have to figure out if I can use TuneECU to get the instrument cluster to do things with some degree of accuracy.

Any hints, guys?

Gorge if you have a GPS you can check as you adjust the speedo. On a Standard/Classic the speed is of about 6.5 to 7 % check your tune and see what it says in the speed adjustment area in the parameter section. Once the speedo is adjusted right your odometer will be off as much as you adjusted the speedo.
 
I have an old, cheap TomTom I can try and learn how to use. Thanks for the tip, Scott.

Odo is off by 19.2%. I don't think the speedo is off that much. My indicated speed over the 90 mile trip was averaging about 65. If the speedo correction follows the odo, then my actual speed was 52. I know I was a lot closer to 65 than 52. They don't seem to be tracking together and instead seem to be acting independently.

Another suggestion from GPM is to let it go a couple of cycles as is and see if it resets or changes. I remember when I first got the bike, the fuel gauge did some weird things, but after a week or so it went really normal and pretty ****ed accurate. I think it's worth a shot.

Rain today and tomorrow. A good time to learn TomTom and fumble around TuneECU looking for the speedo adjustment stuff. I'm also waiting for a part from Dynojet.

Wow thats off more then I ever heard of you should open the tune and look down at the parameter section and see what the speedo adjustment amount is set at. If it is in the positive I believe it is set the wrong way. I am not a tune ecu expert as I am a firm Tune Boy customer and user as it seems to be easier to use. Or at least for me it is. Now if your waiting on the O2 bypass you realy should not need it if your O2 sensor is turned off Via the tune. I guess it does not matter if you put one on anyway.
I will send you an e-mail.
 
The Speed adjustment is set at -3.9%.

GPM says that if the O2 sensor is in the pipe without power going to it, it'll trash the sensor. For a few bucks, I can go back to stock without having to buy a new O2 sensor. $29 for the O2 bypass and a couple bucks for the oil drain plug used in the sensor bung.
