Well I guess the new version of something is always better to have for future programming modifications. I talked with a buddy today at HMF about the gen. II having 5 modes. The first three are as any other programmer and the last two are for turbo and nitrous applications. I was worried about changing some of my mode4 and mode5 settings, so I called him up today on his cell while at work to get the factory defaults from him. He said that the settings were not actually locked like I had been told b4, but that they just didn't have any effect on the bike.
Also, today I decided it wasn't raining and I wanted to ride down the road to try out the new head pipe that I installed. Bad idea, I had on under armor sweatpants and the heat from the exhaust must have adhered them toward it and burnt the freakin' things. So being kind of pissed I decided to see if the factory head pipe cover would fit over the new header. After a little modification and clamps and a lot of slipped "bad words" I was able to get it securely back on the quad.
Also, today I was able to dyno my quad using a buddies dyno, I will have some results with graphs probably in the next few days. So....as soon as I get those back from him I will upload them to the site.
So now a funny story...I got my programmer set back up with the correct settings and the factory head pipe guard on as well. I decided to take one last trip down the road. I had to put some WD-40 on one of the gaurd bolts to get it to break loose. So I start up the Xx and I see smoke coming off the headpipe...and I'm thinking crap I over-tightened one of the hose clamps and damaged the head pipe. Well once the WD-40 all burns off it quits...and I'm there on my knees thanking God. So I hop on and start down the road, I let out of the throttle and it sputtered and quit. I was really starting to freak out...So I reach down and turn on the reserve and it took right back off. I really thought had messed something up today..I finally realized that I was just being to paranoid! My buddies were laughing at me, but I mean my XX is my baby what do you expect? LoL
