Oh dear, 16 minutes to go ...

[madmav]

7 mins to go!

[Redruth]

Are you still awake Nick?

I'm looking for inspring, heartfelt, technically accurate responses, here. I'm not admitting to any front runners at this stage. But I am judge and jury and there is nothing like healthy competition to bring out the best/worst in people. So Nicholas, When you are Ready, In Your Own Time.

5 minutes and counting ...

Hmmm... might wait a bit, and see what rubbish other people post.

Being a tease is never attractive, Nick.

I was about to start a new thread with the scores on ... based on the fact that I would have awarded you 5 points for your top notch anticipated answer. 100 points wins. However, you have bug*ered that.

Ok, OK, I'll play ...

All 996's came with dual injectors including the 1999 model. Prior to the 996, only the SP and SPS bikes have dual injectors. But those other bikes have the larger P8 computer which is capable of firing the injectors sequentially meaning the second injector only comes into play when RPMs go up.

The 996 is controlled by the smaller 1.6M computer which is incapable of firing the injectors sequentially. So the bike does not run well with both of them firing at the same time all the time. According to FIM, dual injectors are not needed unless you're making more than 120HP, and have developed a single injector chip for the 996.

Read more about it here:
http://www.moto-one.com.au/performance/996eproms2.html

This is a quote from FIM's site:

"We have two UltiMaps for the 996 Biposto '99/2000 model. There have been many problems with these models spitting on low throttle or cruise at low speeds. We have finally made a chip which cures the problem (type UM222), but requires that one injector be disconnected from each cylinder. This is because the 996 has two injectors hard-wired in the harness and we can't switch one off like we can with the 996SPS or early 888 computers. The benefit is that the single injector spits more cleanly at low durations than two injectors do ( because they have only half the time each) and idle and low throttle repsonse is heaps better. We remapped a 996 with this mod and the difference is incredible. We do sell a twin injector verison of the same chip (type UM221), but in most cases the UM222 works better, and is worth the effort."

Roger from chelmsford has a pro v twins 996 with a full monty tune on 50mm termis we do like to tinker and were confused to find only Two injectors connected and the other Two taped up
runs nice and sweet

Oh good, glad you're playing Shazaam - this will take the pages into the double digits



Later today (if I get time at work, if not, this evening) I shall be posting the following:-

The Prizes = I've come up with 5

The Judges - I don't think I'm necessarily capable of recognising the depths of nerdiness you lot can go to so I'll be needing some help. Initial thoughts, Lizzie and CK (who have access to huge nerdy resources in their other halves but may be biased if Mike and Alan are playing), Dickieducati cos I know he has no chance of winning plus one possible other, whom I shall have to check with so I'll have to get back to that one. KB I'd ask you but I think you might be in with a chance!

I've got a question--how come the same two crews always get through to the final of the boat race?
