Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is included with the Motty AFR Tuner Kit?

The Motty AFR Tuner Kit includes the AT Tuner module, generic main cable harness, lambda sensor cable harness, serial cable harness, Bosch No. 17014 lambda O2 sensor, and installation accessories. This will work with any of the motorcycles brands and models described in the User Manual found on the downloads page. A Plug & Play harness has been developed for certain Kawasaki and Suzuki sportbikes models and replaces the generic main cable harness for ease of installation and removal. 

Which Motorcycle models do you offer the Plug & Play for?

Suzuki Models: 2005-06 GSX-R1000
2007-09 GSX-R1000
2004-05 GSX-R600/750
2006-07 GSX-R600/750
2008-09 GSX-R600/750
2008-09 GSX-1300R Hayabusa
2008-09 GSX-1300BK B-King
Kawasaki Models: 2005-06 ZX-6R
2007-08 ZX-6R
2006-07 ZX-10R
2008-09 ZX-10R
2006-09 ZX-14

I purchased the Motty Unit from Motty Electronics in Hungary. Can I purchase the Plug & Play kit only?

Yes of course you can purchase the Plug & Play harness on its own directly from JBS Innovations if you reside outside the Americas and Australia. You might want to check with Motty Electronics Ltd. to see if they have Plug & Play harnesses in stock first.

Where does the lambda O2 sensor install on the motorcyle?

The lambda O2 sensor installs into the exhaust system where a bung has been installed either by the exhaust manufacturer or by user if needed. The bung is a metric M18 x 1.5 threaded that is found near the swingarm or footpeg area of the exhaust piping. Major aftermarket exhaust manufacturers such as Yoshimura and Akrapovic have this installed in their Stainless or Titanium systems. Please check with your vendor or manufacturer of the exhaust you are thinking of buying to make sure this is installed. If you need to install one you can have it welded in place at a reputable welding shop that can do TIG welding of the Stainless ones. The Titanium bung is much more tricky to weld in as an experienced welder with Titanium is needed and a chamber to have an environment free from contaminated air while welding. It would be best to contact the exhaust manufacturer of a Titanium system to have them install the Titanium bung in place with their well equipped shop or production facilities. We plan to add bungs for sale in both Stainless and Titanium, but they can be found with a Google search on the internet. Eventually we will publish a list of businesses to weld in the bungs also.

Where can I weld a lambda sensor bung on the exhaust system?

The placement of the O2 sensor is not very critical. It is a heated sensor and its temperature is controlled by the AFR Tuner, so it will adapt to the placement between wide limits. If the sensor is anywhere on the collector pipe near the footpeg then it will be fine. Motorcycle exhausts are too short for overcooling to be a problem and overheating is unlikely to be an issue on naturally aspirated engines.

The recommended installation angle is at least 10° inclined from horizontal with the electrical connection pointing upwards. This is to prevent the collection of liquids between the sensor housing and the sensor element during the cold start phase.

With short and large diameter exhausts reverse flow might be an issue at low RPM and low flow if the sensor is too close to the exit. The pressure pulses may bring some air in from the outside and the lambda measurement may be falsified. Putting the sensor at the front of these slipons should eliminate this effect.
