    Fuel/Spark Effect On Engine Braking

    My goal is to have as little engine braking as possible, I have installed a back torque limiter (slipper) clutch on the bike (Aprilia SXV). Engine braking isn't a big deal on tarmac, however riding in the dirt with slicks does get a bit hairy.

    looking for specific automotive sensor harnesses

    I have found it's much easier to find the harness side connector online then the device side. Off the top of my head they look similar to the Tyco EconSeal J connectors. http://www.tycoelectronics.com/catalog/feat/en/c/10875?BML=10576,17684

    Fuel/Spark Effect On Engine Braking

    Thanks for the reply. Is there a reason that the OEM has 50-70 degrees of timing in these areas? My thought was the advanced timing was to increase the volume of gas before TDC to increase engine braking.

    Fuel/Spark Effect On Engine Braking

    Just wondering the effects of fueling and spark on engine braking. In my limited experience I have found that more fuel, less timing minimizes engine braking. It also seems to smooth the transition from off-throttle to on-throttle. I'm talking about high rpm motors (12-15k) and ECU without...
