Ok thanks, you have two curves? Would be nice to switch between original and the old to really feel the difference when riding.

I have only 1 curve. I did not want to pay for two or the switch that handlebar mounts. They did not quote a price for that. I have no use for the old curve, it sucks. They sell a kit that allows you to load your own curves for about $ 132 if I remember right. You have to come up with the curves. That is why I got the 86 curve from Steve to send them. If you are technological enough with that stuff you can buy it all and custom make any curve you want. I am still in the stone age, that is why I ride a 25 year old bike.THUMPTHUMP

86 XT600 advance curve
Try this:



Let us know how it turns out. I've been in communications with Zeeltronic and they are working on their programmable version for the TCI ignition, same thing, you can have 2 curves preprogrammed by them and select either one with a switch.

The basic curve follows the original except that little ankle breaking drop at less than 1000rpm.

Steve, the 660 curve would be the same shape,12deg @1500 to 36(probably up to 38deg, but my motor has reverse and extra limiters involved, also has a proximity detector for reading rpms on the tranny, I think the curve can be used but the TCI is quite different than the 600e's. Not sure how the 660 in the European bike is controlled compared to the 600e's either.

I had the 90 curve replaced with the 86 curve. I have only one in the box. Mine does not have a switch , just a data access port/ cable. THUMPTHUMP

He had quoted me 225EUR for the TCI with programable setup, 2 curves and switchable, so that option add quite a bit.

Fuel economy will probably go down with the '80's setup so that may be a reason for having 2 curves that can be switched. Don't know how much mpg would change but I would suspect a little.

Why would starting to burn the same fuel sooner burn more gas? It is just more efficient burn through of existing fuel. To do the same speed you may use less throttle. THUMPTHUMP
