Brian, is there a transient throttle multiplier in the calibration menu for PC3 or PC5? I find you can usually trim the static tables even further as long as their is a transient compensation or a tip in + tip out table.

To all the nay-sayers: Do you jump up and down when cyclists lane split in the city, or when pedestrian traffic walks faster than you drive? It seems the major beef for most people is this concept of "wait your turn" just like the rest of us in our automobiles. "You have to wait in line just...

Spent a week in Japan where lane splitting and filtering is legal. The whole concept (at least in Japan) was to move the mass of commuters as efficiently as possible. It was incredibly safe - by far way safer than commuting here in Toronto. It is a shame that it is not permitted by law here. If...

off topic, but what is your fuel econ with the bws 125?

^^^ This is your best bet. try autopia.org for more details and info from people who do it for a living. I recommend using ONR in a spray bottle, a grout sponge, and a very soft very plush and VERY clean microfibre cloth(s). You must rinse off all heavy dirt and debris with a sharp jet of water...

I can make throttle bodies appear. Not sure about coils - need to see how many spares are availible... Plugs are unlikely - too bloody expensive.

How much is GA this year? Last year I sat in I. Pretty good view for me, I could see many corners and could follow battle action for multiple corners. you also get to watch some big time high speed wheelies down the straight.

Holds true for pretty much all levels of professional Motorsport in this day and age. If you didn't fall out of the uterus and land on a kart or motorbike you have a serious uphill battle to go pro.

^^^ This - Webber did a fantastic job. As gimmicky the new additions may be - that was an pretty good race. Hamilton put in a fantastic drive - he couldn't keep it together after the race. ps. BBC UK streaming FTW. no commercials, pre and post race coverage. I love it.

The subsequent steering column failure was spectacular and outright scary all in one go.

Why do we have helmet laws? I mean if we were legitimately concerned about safety we wouldn't ride a motorcycle at all right? Im not sure I agree with single occupant motorcycle in the HOV lane, but enough data exists to support the concept that it reduces rear end collisions.

The #1 selling vehicle in USA in 2010 was the Ford F150. Using the fueleconomy.gov website, the sample size for all 2010 models of F150 where owners that reported their fuel economy was.....13 So 13 owners out of the 500000+ units sold last year reported their fuel economy figures on the site...

That is impressive. What does it do when you pull a trailer? Any DI related issues to date? Im interested to see what the 2012 focus will do.

Certainly that is the way it should be - however I have seen more than enough calibration/control strategies where certain portions of code serve no purpose other than deflating the consumption figures when run on the EPA mandated drive cycle. This is the hwy drive cycle: For that reason...

Don't worry - it doesn't get anywhere near what it is quoted at for fuel economy. I averaged 7.8 - 8.1 L/100 km hwy between Detroit - Toronto.

Agreed, it isn't as cut and dry and either of us made it seem. Carnegie Mellon makes big $$$ doing these studies for this reason.

Im in agreement with all of the above. I only contest your speculation about the H2 vs scooter debate. Different strokes for different folks.

Clearly you haven't, seeing as you continue to argue about pollutants. The life cycle analysis arguement is valid, regardless if the motorcycle is a second vehicle because: [lca impact of compact + motorcycle] < [lca impact of H2]

Speaking of ignorant and/or retarded - Please try to understand that low tailpipe emissions ≠ eco-friendly. You have yet to grasp that concept. Similiarly zero tailpipe emissions is not necessarily eco-friendly either. For the record the daily driver is a small compact.

I can comfortably say that a compact car winter commuter and a summer small cc motorbike (say a 2011 cbr 250) will fare much better than a year round H2.
