SAI and other thinnkings
Hi DEcosse,
thanks for all those thoughts, I'll try and make sure I answer them all.
Wayne Tune.
I sent Wayne the two massive tunes, and told him what year and vin my ST was. Wayne took the correct ST tune for my bike and embedded the massive values. The way I see it in my simplistic mind is that the tune figures are held in a pre-addresssed envelope, and that the addressing on the envelope deals with the likes of the Fuel guage etc, but the contents of the letter are for the engine. So I have an envelope addressed to the ST with a letter instructing the engine to run as a Daytona. Can't be any clearer than that.... sorry.
SAI
Okay, now you are really seeing the limit of my knowledge. First SAI? = Secondary Air Injection? Something to do with making the exhaust fumes look less poluted with unburnt hytdrocarbons by bleading air into the exhaust at certain times (idle?). If that's correct, then you have reached the limit of my knowledge, if it's wrong then we went past that boundary some time ago!!

Mind you, this contradicts where I think I have seen SAI mentioned in other threads as being in the airbox!!
My bike is running the standard ST airbox. As far as I am aware, Sandy didn't change that, and the motor just slotted into the frame and picked up all the ST fittings. The only thing that needed doing was the exhaust, and that was because I was NOT going to try and get that athelete of an engine breathing out through a straw - seems pointless fitting the engine and then making it use the ST exhaust

.
So does the 04 ST have SAI as standard?
Where would you find it/ How would I check?
How do I disable it?
What is the impact on tune/fuel of having SAI enabled?
MIL Light.
Nope, not had one of those at all. Bike runs perfectly (touch head)!
I haven't looked at the error codes stored - I will have a look tonight, but I assumed that as there was no MIL light, there were no error codes. Does that mean that the ECU can store 'advisory' error codes that are not sufficiently threatening to light the MIL?
Wales Visit.
It would be great to meet, and buy you a beer or two to say thanks for all your expertise. I am at work that week, but if you pick a day (they're all reasonably clear at the moment), I am more than happy to take some of my flex time and meet up somewhere, day or evening!
