EXVL Error Code

[Mhanis]

I got ya Ung. I just find it odd that I can go months and NOT get the error code. I'll get it re-attached this week.

I certainly meant MotoCreations (not motowheels). I emailed and have not heard back from anyone. Now it appears that their site is full of dead links.....? The link that directed you toward Monsterparts was dead too so I didn't check with Jeff, but I will.

Cheeky buggers are using my pics that I posted here on the DMF on their website too..

.. Mrs Ung's kitchen scales are famous!  

Although I notice that they've photoshopped the "motocreations" logo out.  Might explain why your not hearing anything back from there.....

[Mhanis]

Ordered.

Thanks Ung.

Since you bought the ducee you might as well try and find a 696 mid pipe to match.

 I just happen to have a stock midpipe laying about if you want to try cutting and welding one up!

[Mhanis]

A stock 1100 midpipe Spike? I might be interesting in that, we have a skilled welder at work and I would like to get the exhaust ceramic coated so any ugliness left by removing the valve would be hidden................

PM me if you have an interest in getting rid of it.

Thanks for the link. There are some performance claims on that site which are confusing. Other than eliminating the flapper actuation, does this thing actually DO anything for performance?

My opinion?  Not a damned thing. 

You do save half a kilo when you ditch the servo motor (about the same performance gain as taking a hefty shit  ).   If along with the addition of Duc.EE the flapper gate is also removed (696 mid pipe is the way I chose to go) then there's an argument that dumping that obstruction within the exhaust would equate to a performance improvement.....  but my seat of the pants dyno was never perceptive enough to register such minuscule improvement.

I originally needed the Duc.EE coz I intended to ceramic coat the exhaust - which meant that the does-nothing-for-good flapper gate would need to be eliminated... which meant I had use for Duc.EE.  Ultimately I went a different route, but still advocate the Duc.EE as a good solution for those wanting - for whatever reason - to dump the servo motor.  An ECU reflash covers it too of course.

Thanks! That's what I figured. At best it might assist with my intermittent cold start issue (by leaving the flapper open) but not worth $130 to me.

The bike doesn't run that badly overall. Just needs slightly richer fueling on the bottom and midrange. After your kind offer of Dynojet O2 optimizers, my dealer who does R&D for Dynojet discussed with them running those without the PC-V and they concluded this was unwise. Too bad Siemens can't run those other optimizers as that's my "budget". 

Getting warm down there yet? Leaves starting to change here...

You guys aren't going to believe this shit.

I installed the duc.ee on Friday, I just putzed around town on Saturday (less than 5 miles). I rode to work this morning (20 or so miles) and as I pulled into the parking lot I has the damn error message again.

I am thinking black tape over the CEL at this point!

at this point retrace all the connectors and make sure the duc.ee and the o2 sensors are tight

Why the o2 sensor connectors Raux?  

You will get an error on o2 fault detect.... but not this one...

Mhanis, here's what Bernard (Duc.EE developer) had to say about possible initial EXVL error after first fitting  Duc.EE

... your error seems to be a little more persistent..  but maybe just try and see if it settles?

[Mhanis]

I am certainly going to give it a while before calling it a failure and going to the next step. I remember reading that before Ung, I just kind of expected it right after startup, not 20 miles down the road.

I'll keep ya's posted.

Mark.
