SXR Ski tune

[haromang14]

Ok so i took my bone stock sxr out yesterday with a fresh set of plugs and put about 4 hrs of ride time in, i checked my plugs today and they look somewhat brown, the ceramic around the electrode is still white with brown on one side of the ceramic insulator and both plugs look pretty identical so i believe the tune is good, and i havnt done a plug chop even tho i should,but when im doing high speed runs i can pull the throttle in to alittle more than 3/4 throttle and the ski is hauling at what seems to be top speed, but from that throttle position to wide open there isnt a power difference, is my ski too rich? Or do all sxrs do this?

Get a tach. I use hardline.

 

[haromang14]

Is tinytach accurate?

 

[Quinc]

I use a tiny tach and like it. Has a 1/2 second refresh rate.

Hardline is 1/2 second as well. I have owned both and the Hardline is built sturdier. The PET 2100 or something like that is supposed to be really good, but it is $$$.

 

[haromang14]

What is the sxr supposed to redline at?

 

[haromang14]

And how does the hardline stand up to water abuse?

It is sealed. It comes with double sided tape. Just stick it on your dash and wrap the lead around your plug wire. $25 shipped from amazon and 5 min install.

I have my hardline zip tied to my handle bar centre pad. Its totally sealed, the wire is an external install on the unit.

This is the one i bought.

My review is on Amazon. Owner of Hardline answered a question of mine in 10mins via email on Superbowl Sunday.

To be honest the condition your reporting is normal in my opinion

I need to get me one of those but that tach would be trash pretty quick if I put it there.

 

[haromang14]

The long wire doesnt cause the unit to read different? And how quickly does it refresh and read the rpms, i know the tt is .5 sec

 

[Vumad]

Where did you get the long wire or how did you extend the included one?

Please quote me in your reply so I get a notification.

Thanks.

I bought marine tinned wire, as long as it fits in the hole it will work.

Cool. I thought it was a special kind of wire.

I mounted mine on my bars in my x2, but I need standup length wires because of the hood I built.
