Oooh is right. The first one I put on was a R100. Night and day! The bike
was strong with only 10K or so on it. Before I even had it dialed in it
would leave a carb version for dead. Of course the main diff is that the
stock carbs were constant velocity Bings and had the throttle response of a
cruise ship wereas the FI has no hangups whatsoever about having the
throttle wacked wide open.

That is one of the big things about the injection. Since it doesn't rely on
a vacuum signal to draw the gas in it won't bog and die (like the Guzzi)
when the vacuum drops to zero. The old black box just goes "WOOOHOOO" and
squirts in the go juice while you flap from the handlebars like a t-shirt
in a hurricane. OK that's a slight exageration. Maybe a gale.
Does anyone still sell them? The one I have came from a BMW but of course
will go on the Guzzi with almost no sweat. It was sold through Luftmeister.
To answer your question it is infinitly adjustable. It is mapped with a
graphic interface on a PC. You don't even have to be connected to the bike
to create or modify the maps, only to up or download them. It also has real
time feedback when connected. Handy for cars. Hard to do on a bike without
a brake dyno.
It has a field for 0 thru 15000 RPM (16 total) with 32 steps for each field
and the computer calculates from this for ever 100 RPM so as to keep things
smooth. Also has fully adjustable cold start settings that are temp
dependent, as well as an accelerator pump feature for those nasty flat
spots.
It's really cool AND makes more power.
Now all I need are some countersunk sockethead screws for the manifold
stubs and I'll be set for the install.
Did I mention the 1050cc Guzzi race bike that made 110BHP at the wheel?
Fun=3.2 lbs per hp.

 Oooh hey. I was looking at those the other day. I have a /5. How does it
set up? what's the ride like? can it be tweaked or is it a hard chip map?
Is it any good or is it more of a cool toy?


I'm sorta thinking a map for a smaller /5 might work as a starting point
say an r60 or r50. they ran the same sized carbs I think. No probably not
right, but a zero to work from

Howdy Loopers,

I thought I had read here in the past that someone had an older Guzzi
with
fuel injection. I'm about to put a Haltech system on my Ambassador and I
wondered if anyone else had put one on a loop. I have set them up on BMWs
and a couple of Guzzi race bikes but would prefer to find someone with a
map that is close so I won't have to start from scratch.

Thanks

Hunter
