Thanks all for the advice. Orange Crush has been an amazing resource for this new owner.

Have the dealer install the 2011 map if you want to insure the warranty is kept. Stock 2011 map is an improvement over what you have now.

The map itself it's richer than the standard akrapovic but i do suspect it might need to be a little richer.

not anyone willing to share a map for a fellow adventurer? might be the case..

well perhaps anyone can contribute with this one..

when you accelerate hard can you hear a metallic rattle coming perhaps from the valves which settles down after you keep the trottle steady at some specific rpm?

I'm afraid that this sound is probably pinging coming from detonation from starvation. With the akrapovic map is a little less but it's there.

What year model is your bike ?

I am running a '07-'09 hybrid map with my stock air filter and have good feedback on that. Many people here have used the Powertripp maps '09 i believe with good results.

Have you had a look at the TuneECU map download page ?

I've got something similar going on, so I'm .

Hi thanks for your answer, i was recently using shootis map but after installing an itg filter i seem to have these results. It happens with the akrapovic map as well.

Now i don't know if it is something that was always there but the old plastic box sealed the noise away or is something that it isn't supposed to happen. It came after installing an itg filter. Perhaps it might be ok but if there is an cpr/itg filter user that experiences the same please let me know.

My bike is an euro 07 model.

i made a clip so you might get a better idea. Notice the high pitch sound when accelerating.

The guy that tuned my bike heard that too. He played around with the mapping to see if it was detonation but in the end, decided it was the cam chain.

Yep, mine's the same. I could hear it before my airbox came off though. It started doing it when I was out west last year and happened after my bike was running terribly. The bike quit running rough after I changed a very dirty air filter, except for intermittently, and given the condition of my fuel pump filters as I saw in my recent fixes to the bike, I can see why it ran rough sometimes. But the high pitched rattle is still there.

well, thank god i'm relieved that my engine won't blow up just in my face

perhaps i should stay positive and just enjoy the benefits.. the power is overwhelming now

thanks o.c, you're the best..!

Yeah, I think we are both ok. I wish the sound would go away, but I've quit being anxious about it.

Hi everyone, 2008 990 Adv S with stock EU fuel map running stock exhaust (hopefully not for too much longer). I've recently adjusted my secondary butterflies to minium 25% opening in an attempt to fix the snatchy throttle issue. It's helped a little but I don't think it's the right way to fix it. I've read this entire thread and have seen the occasional reccomendation to load the later fuel maps and also power-trips fuel map. Those with 06-08 bikes that have done this have you found this to help? Have any chucked a wideband on/put it on the dyno to see how the motor is coping with these richer maps? I'm worried with our mismatched cams and ignition maps the motor will be running too rich. Has anyone had a custom tune for the 06-08 990s that they are willing to send me?

I tried yesterday tripp's map and the bike wouldn't even start. For our bikes (pre 09 models) the best way to go in my opinion is with shootis map. Or perhaps with a custom map from a tuner..

For your problem i fixed the snatchy throttle by purchasing the oval second butterflies.

My bike is an euro 07 model.

Mine's also a Euro '07 "S" model and i have a hint of that sound coming, but thats just the cam chains as i understood.

The powertripp map is tuned for the newer motors with much more ignition advance and different cams. I tried copying the map cells over to my '07 stock map while leaving the ignition maps stock but then i guessed that it would be running un-necessarily rich and might even lead to bad running as i'll be left with stock ignition timing so i didn't load the map. I'm now using a '07-'09 Hybrid map with good results in the power delivery and unchanged mileage.

Still waiting to find a capable dyno tuner to take my bike with TuneECU and tune the bike while monitoring AFR for best results (power & mileage)

So, just double checking on something in TuneEcu here. When we check the box for 02 sensors, or secondary throttles, or SAS, etc, that means it's enabled or active, right? When the box is unchecked, or clear, that means those items are shut off or inactive?

Thanks folks...
