Hi guys 👋,
new at this forum here, thx for having me... Excellent resource BTW 👌, learned alot here by reading the last 2 years !
I've owned a light bore 2014 MSX/Grom for 2 years now & had immense fun with this little bike.
Last week I had the opportunity to buy a very good looking and (kinda) maxed out 2015 BBore MSX & went for it.
The previous owner had difficulties with starting & getting it properly set up & didn't want to spend more time on it.
Upgrades only have 500 miles on em...
So bought it (cheap!) and now it's up to me to straighten things out & was hoping this community could help me / hear me out a bit ? I'm not a complete noob or so, but the ARacer injection/mapping shizzles is indeed new to me 😬
Specs:
- Kitaco Neo 181cc (+-500 miles)
- Kitaco Clutch Cover
- Kitaco reinforced clutch plate
- Takegawa 34mm Big throttle bodykit
- Keihin IF20 NNJ injector (10 holes)
- Dingerbuilt Short Ram intake
- Takegawa Super Oil pump
- Kitaco Super 3-row oil cooler
- Full Aracer setup (AF1 module + RCmini 5)
- Zoom Loop Exhaust with O2 bung
So drove it last week & indeed it didn't quite deliver (as the previous owner said)...
Low torque and sometimes hesitating to rev, but it was driveable.
The Zoom Loop exhaust however was extremely loud, even with DB-killer installed, so I decided to replace it with the
Kepspeed (Madmunk) GP2 exhaust from my previous MSX just to hear the difference (sound is a big deal to me).
Sounding so much better I took it for a drive...
Having no O2 bung on this exhaust, the Wideband sensor was exposed to open air.
Driving with this exhaust was
night & day difference, massive torque, high speed, very responsive
... Awesome to drive, was glad it was sorted & I was immediately hooked
.
But then when I redlined it, it suddenly starts spluttering & stuttering and it died on me 😭.
Restarted it and got it home stuttering. Very difficult to start now & grey smoke coming out of the exhaust.
Now I'm anxious that something serious has gone wrong 😣... Any ideas ?
So I'm guessing the (open) O2 sensor will be to blame ?
Is there any way to disable it ? Or do I definitely have to get a bung welded on the new exhaust pipe ?
In the meantime I have the Aracer Smart app installed & QuickBurned a new (suggestion) map from the list (170cc).
But still same deal...
What should be my next move ?
Thx in advance & for reading this oeuvre 😅
