Hello Gentlemen and Ladies,
I have a 2018 DL250 with less than 4,000 km/2,500 miles. I am living in Turkey.
The bike has an undaignosed source (cause) of vibration.
From this forum I have read a lot of informative questions/replies for the DL650. Perhaps someone can answer my question regarding how to drive the bike after I "reset" the ECU. Please let me explain.
My bike vibrated so much that a 40 minute ride resulted in my internal organs to jitter for about an hour.
In total discouragement with the authroized service centers who said the vibration was normal, I disconnected the negative battery cable for 15 minutes. The result is my "internal organs" are no longer being jolted. However, vibration remains more in the footpegs than in the handlebar.
Disconnecting the negative battery cable was helpful.
I am wondering if the manner the bike is rode immediately after the "reset" determines how the ECU reads the sensors and controls the performance of the bike.
The first "reset" changed the bike SO much that I want to try another "reset". My questions are:
1.) After a negative battery cable "reset", within how much time? or within how many miles? or within how many times the motor is stopped/started is the ECU "recalibrated" by the sensors.
2.) During this "recalibration period" (whether it is according to time, mileage, or motor stops/starts) how should the bike be operarted?
2.a) According to my ridding style?;
2.b) Mildly to allow the ECU its opportunity to do what it does?
2.c) Aggressively to allow the ECU to adjust for "maximum performance" as defined by is mapping?
Friends, I am learning as I go. I may totally misunderstand ECUs and how they function. I ask these questions to learn a little AND to locate and correct the source of the vibration (which I strongly believe is associated with the ECU given my experience explained above). If you can help, a new friendship will be made.
Again, Thank you.
