Guest Ferank Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I recently purchased this V11 Sport. I was told the OEM ECU was replaced with this ECU when the exhaust was put on... Can anyone point me to more info on the ECU/exhaust upgrade specs? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhbo Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sorry, I don't have exact and reliable specs for the ecu, but you've bought the probably best looking and even better sounding exhaust for the V11 available. The ecu mapping is matching the cans, it's normaly sold as a bundle, the Titanium Kit (sic!) Enjoy it! Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ecu mapping is matching the cans, it's normaly sold as a bundle, the Titanium Kit (sic!) Enjoy it! Hubert What Hubert said! Moto Guzzi's Ti pipes came/come [NLA? Greg Field would know] with the "Ti ecu" which has a different map from the stock ecu to account for the decreased backpressure, etc. of the "off-road only" (nudge-nudge, wink-wink) Ti pipes. The "01" vs. "03" Ti ecu have slightly differing maps to allow for the front crossover on the headers of the '03+ models; AFAIK, nobody has provided input as to a mismatch of the "01" ecu on an '03 or later bike w/ the front x-over being problematic, since even the Ti ecu seems to benefit from a PCIII despite the supposedly "optimized" mapping of the kit ecu! Net result is that many of those installing the kit sell either the spare stock or the kit ecu & use the money defray the cost of installation & custom mapping of a Power Commander anyway. So my advice is the same as Huberts: stop worrying about it & go enjoy! You got the best aftermarket kit out there for your bike, just include it on your insurance declaration of value/modifications so if you crash you won't have to eat the $1500+ cost of replacement yourself...

Great advice! I am enjoying her every chance I get. I will sift through PCIII upgrade posts for more info... Thank you for the replies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazi-moto Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Is that the Titanio ECU? I put a My15M ECU in my '02 LeMans and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The Ti ECU apparently needs a different TPS setup: See this link for incomplete and perplexing details http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=141517 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhbo Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Ferank, you've only 3 posts so far, you've a very nice bike, in very good condition, well runnig also, I suppose, so take this very last chance and leave everything as it is. Especially leave this and other forums As mentioned, you only have 3 posts so far and they already have started drowning you in ECU, TPS and PCIII threads. Run and hope you can hide.

Hubert I cant say I wasn't warned! I consider myself very privileged to own such a remarkable machine! Now I want to inundate myself with useful/useless information about every nut and bolt. This experience is a very unique character building exercise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert I am sure Frank carries a Scuba tank with him to prevent drowning... TPS is shouldn't be as overwhelming as it appears in our forum...and we are always willing to help from our armchairs... But watch out for the predators, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 At least promise yourself that if you ever get the idea to experiment with the TPS settings, write the current values down first before touching it. Not [try to] memorize, but write them down. Both idle voltage and base voltage. (Maybe that should be suggested in the How-To too as long as we know some bikes don't respond to it as expected!)

VA Sean Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 As noted - your year of V11 is a bit different than mine. But my Ti Kit came with a new ECU that was marked differently than the OEM: The New ECU with that came with the Kit: Comparison of Old and New ECUs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mount with the heatsink fins facing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
