Does this mean that by changing the chip you are burning fuel at a higher temperature, is the timing dynamic and controlled by the chip?...
Does this not mean that on the road it will be prone to stalling?...
Or is this a specific thing for track bike performance??? Would not changing the plugs do the same thing?
Are you changing it for track performance? I dont understand? You get a good track bike and a crap road bike or vice versa...Derr...Fluffy bunny moment...

.......too much Drambuie I think

I agree with you Shazaam about fuel mapping being a very complex subject matter and not to be taken lightly, however people like FIM and JHP have a lot of knowledge.......and a lot of "base" maps form which to work from for different combinations of bikes.
IMO, I just think that the money spent on a PC is better spent on having a bespoke fuel map created, or as is mor likely, having one of the already available maps tweaked.
Just buying a PC and plugging it in, is no more than swapping the chip. Just a lot more expensive.
Another outfit worth talking to Rich, are Sigma. They are capable of tweaking a FIM chip to suit your bike.
