Active intake question

[Quazza666]

Ok... So I am now aware that my bike is a jap bike with active intake solenoid in the air box. Can I remove this without any issues?

 

[vroom]

Are you refering to the exhaust servo? The servo in the airbox activates a valve in the exhaust. If you have the stock exhaust, you won't want to remove that.

buell interactive exhaust system

it will set a code and turn on the ses light also if you have the stock muffler the valve will no longer operate

[anrkizm95]

you have the jap bike.that is one of the first things they remove over there and from what i have read its main purpose is noise control

 

[lawdog]

It is used to meet noise standards in Japan. You can remove it but you will need to program it out otherwise you will get a check engine light code. Got an ecm cable?

 

[Quazza666]

No cable yet. I must get one. Pretty easy to bypass with the ECY spy?

 

[lawdog]

If you get a cable I can walk you through how to turn off the AIC and turn off the error checking. It's not hard once I show you. You will change a couple hexadecimals in the ECM.
1. Get a cable.
2. Fetch your EEPROM and tell me what version.
3. I look up the values that need to be changed.
4. You program the changes and remove the AIC hardware.

When u get a cable reply on here and I will help you. No PM please so others may benefit.

Hi Lawdag,

I have the cable and plugged it in the EEPROM version is BUE1D. Hope this is all I need. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for the help.

brett (lawdog) is excellent at these things and very generous with his time and willingness to help. [up]

 

[Quazza666]

Thats great to hear. I hope it can be done with the older version of ECMSPY. Im not sure how to do anything with ECMspy as yet.

set to zero

 

[Quazza666]

Thanks for that. Do you know if I can do this with the old ecmspy ? Or do I need the new one?

 

[Quazza666]

So I hooked up ECMspy and looked into the AIC settings. It was unchecked already. Anyone help....? Does this mean that it is already disbled? i cant select the box for 'enable active intake feature'.

Not sure how to upload a screensshot

Hope someone can help me out.
