The Perfect Custom Fuel Map - PART 1

Frankenstein's fuel map tuning dashboard for the perfect custom map

A little theory of Fuel Injection

Today's fuel injected motorcycles demand different attention to details than previous generation carburated engines. There are several fuel injection setups available across different manufacturers. Tougher and tougher emission regulations are pretty much demanding fuel injected, O2 sensor controlled configurations.

O2 sensors are used to monitor the Air Fuel ratio (AF ratio) of the engine. Why is the AF ratio an important measurement/factor for the operation of an engine?

The AF ratio represents the mixture between air and fuel. For gasoline operated engines the optimal fuel efficiency AF ratio is 14.7:1 - thats 14.7 parts of air and 1 part of gasoline/fuel. Most modern engines however produce maximum power at 13.2:1. So what's the deal with these metrics?

MT-01 meets it's Master

admin | 13 January, 2006 09:21

Turns out the MT-01 finally meets it's Master. Insiders say an MT-01 made it onto the dyno of Patrick Racing in preperation for a complete overhaul. The bike is looking at a full blown 110 ci kit with ported heads, cams and some of the Yamaha racing components. More details to follow soon. I hope to get some sneak pics in a few weeks to share.

As most of you know Patrick Racing has become the leader in Warrior and Star related engine upgrade work. It will be interesting to see what they can do to the MT-01 to make it scream.

My bet is at 115-120 rwhps and some 120+ ftlbs of torque.

Now the big questions is: Will I ever get a chance to ride that Monster?

Off I went to a local Yamaha dealer for a 5 day rental of an MT-01. Here is the story about the bike, the trip, all the ins and outs.
