Anybody here had any problem with the HMF burning up the ECU? Or any other problems that I may not have encountered yet?

 

[jackman]

my HMF optimizer fried a couple CDI boxes

 

[Polaris425]

Will HMF replace them since its technically their fault?

 

[jackman]

they told me mine had been wet and they would not

 

[Polaris425]

Did you send them a dirty letter? I would have sent them a dirty letter... haha.

I would think it would be hard to prove their unit cause a malfunction.
They would just have to honor it on your word and most companies aint that cool.

 

[TOT]

If there is any sign of the unit being wet then they will not warranty it. The warranty is only for a year anyway.

 

[phreebsd]

shoot the way we all ride you know it's gonna get wet eventually!

Like the first ride after installing it? :rockn: :saevilw:

 

[TOT]

That is the truth, so I guess what I am asking is will the Grizz run as good with out the programmer?

 

[Polaris425]

Im thinking no, since it's EFI. The programmer should be what is making the air/fuel mixture right w/ the aftermarket exhaust and snorkels. Unless its different than the brute. I know the brute wont.

 

[cigaro]

Yeah you're going to need the programmer.

I just took off the programer, and rode it around and there is a small difference in take off but after that it seems to be runnig fine. Only time will tell.

Only thing I would say is make sure you are not running too lean.... Overtime it will cause premature damage on expensive parts.... Heck, way too rich will too...

I hadn't heard about the Optimizers doing things like that, but it is possible...

Typically snorks will richen up the mixture a bit depending on the amount of flow compared to stock... And of course your pipe will lean it, so alot of times you are back to a GOOD mixture.... MOST times.. Not all...

A friend of mine has a 02 sensor to put in the exhaust to tell how the bike is running (rich or lean). And I did some research and found out that I can change the air fuel on the display with the on board diagnostic program. What do you think, good or bad idea?

 

[jackman]

as long as you have the o2 sensor to tell how your running try adjusting it on your display

 

[TOT]

That is what I was thinking.

 

[jackman]

u so smart:thinking:

 

[TOT]

I try!!!!!!!

Yea man, especially with the 02 sensor. That is nice to be able to do that on the display.. I remember reading about it and saw a video on it also when they first came out that year.
