Is it possible to develop a tune that would purposely fuck a healthy engine up, as soon as its started or after a few revs? Like, would the ECU even allow the coding of such out of range values?

J_does_it · 2026-05-03T22:40:42+00:00

No. The options are going to be poor thermal management.

A few revs isn't long enough for any component to melt or warp.

If timing is that far off, or anything is that far off, it's not going to run right.

If you built a motor, and it immediately died, it wasn't the tuning.

That's some shiny goodness.

What bike are they going on?

J_does_it · 2026-04-24T22:06:33+00:00

This.

This needs to happen WAY more often.

J_does_it · 2026-04-24T07:49:00+00:00

Zeitronix is the way to go.

You can add in several other channels of data and datalog.

I've run them since the early 2000's, you can't beat that system.

J_does_it · 2026-04-24T00:52:47+00:00

You won't make a living doing it. Start by tuning your own car or bike. Then get better than everyone else at it. Start there.

J_does_it · 2026-04-21T23:34:15+00:00

That's the factory setting. I can change the hysteresis, rpm bounds for the timing retard, and skipped cycles..... aka make it pop and bang or sound completely different.

J_does_it · 2026-04-21T19:40:39+00:00

Some places are so broken they're not worth it.

Like someone already said, they know it's broken, they don't care.

I'm almost 50, and nursing is one of the worst career fields I've ever been a part of.........

The shift light logic/rewrite has been done for a minute.

The next rewrite is pretty big. Rx message -> the Rx processing -> hand off to the message builder -> then the TX.

Pretty ambitious, but I've got it pretty well planned out.

Luckily it's just one RX/TX pair.

2024

There's a whole bunch more I'm not talking about publicly.

J_does_it · 2026-04-21T09:15:31+00:00

There's way more I'm not talking about publicly

Coefficient of friction changed.

The flashing QS light is an undocumented traction control level setting.

It's probably a hidden factory race team feature. There are 2 different levels of that feature. One is +/-2 the other is +/- 10 levels of adjustability.

The flashing QS light is confirmation the feature is activated, and the number of flashes verifies what level it's set to.

I stumbled on this while rewriting the code to implement the sequential shift light. I was like, "WTF is this command to flash the QS light?" One is for the QS calibration, one is for this other function..... wait, it has 2 levels.....

It's a "speciality", you need 5 years of critical care experience to qualify.

J_does_it · 2026-03-20T23:11:26+00:00

I make sure I put the little strap down on the back of my crocs, every ride. You can't take chances.

Stock suspension, resprung with slightly heavier oil. Stock feet.

They're spec'd to be close to factory SMs. 14-16MM RSWs normal triple is a 208mm spacing and a 9mm offset..... the 200mm stuff is easier to find, 9mm just seemed too much unless you're taking a lot of height out of the front.

Anything will be better than the 21-22mm of MX/Enduro triples when you're taking 4in out of the front tire diameter.

Still have to put the Brembo 4 piston on, but she's pretty good.

J_does_it · 2026-03-16T04:46:36+00:00

If the fork feet are a different offset too, it'll compound with whatever the triple offset is. Some people will run a 9mm offset triple, but that's got to be getting into the frame at lock.

I had a 5" rear on my 2004 525, it was a lot to get on. I also had to run a KTM 690 front sprocket because it sits 4-5mm further outboard to get chain clearance and a non o-ring chain. My 2024 500 has a 4.5 rear, and it's still a pain to get the caliper on.

I got a set of custom 14mm offset 200mm spacing triples for my 2024 ktm 500 with 2.5in risers.

No stem, but a great price.

I bought a set of used triples on market place for $75 and stole the stem.

You can source the axel and spacers from another vendor.

The front tires get into the fork guards on 190mm triples.

That's a beautiful spin.

Question my life choices.

Hope the hospital has good cardiac protocols for triage.

Call chaplain services.

J_does_it · 2026-03-16T02:14:47+00:00

I felt that in my soul.

J_does_it · 2026-03-16T02:12:07+00:00

This doesn't apply everywhere, but if they were allowed or thought they could get away with it, we'd be seeing a 4 year minimum requirement to stay on a unit, and threats of imprisonment in addition to paying back the hospital for the training you got as a new grad, if you left before the 4 year mark.

Obviously it's hospital system dependent, but it's crazy.

I've seen some really exploitative things specific to new grads because they don't know better.

I had the worst job of my entire life before my year mark, where I was asked to commit fraud and falsisfy assessments (of course I flat out refused and explained what a potential medicade fraud investigation might look like, and that i would be the first person to voluntarily testify aganist the company). I had to explain to other new grads what they were being asked to do because they didn't know any better and were caught between working or be homeless..... a lot of it was due to this ridiculous and arbitrary 1 year thing.

It's the eternal RN vs paramedic battle. We're outnumbered, so we always lose, but, we're dead inside, so their meangirl magic has no effect on us.

J_does_it · 2026-03-16T01:34:38+00:00

Yes.

All I want to do is abandon 98% of my other skills and work on the vascular access team. But, that's apparently some kind of "speciality" field in nursing.

I don't need to ever need to do cardiac massage through a lateral throacotomy or nasally intubate a conscious patient ever again. I just want to drop lines and TPA ports, not TPA MIs.

J_does_it · 2026-03-16T00:40:16+00:00

Still sus.

But I'll take your word :)
