Aw geez....What's with some of youse guys?A guy gets a Jeffo map...his bike runs better than before...maybe WAY better...and some of ya just say "It can't be"...WTF?WHO cares how he's doin it?Apparently,all the guys with good running Jeffo maps are....hallucinating.(including me).I want to know.....does anyone here KNOW what the air/fuel FACTORY values are?Show me.I'm all ears.ZERO's tell you NOTHING except that no fuel is being removed or added.That's all.It doesn't show you how much is going in.Only that there is a "no change from factory" situation.
I've heard here about the "lean" condition "right where we ride"...okay...where is that?So the map shows a negative value for a certain area....but in reality....IS IT ACTUALLY LEAN?What is it being compared to...the higher values further on up the rpm scale?Every cell # change...if by one digit only,is 2%.Seeing a negative 8 or whatever LOOKS like a lean condition....but really,it's showing the percentage of fuel being removed from a what?A factory preset mix.Anyone know what that "preset" is?That's the thing here.PERHAPS Jeffo KNOWS what those factory values REALLY are.And when the guys see these maps...they're assuming that those are lean values.Maybe in reality,they aren't...not anything that would cause damage.
I've got 44,000 miles on my Jeffo map.Something like that.Anyone looking at it would warn me probably to "watch riding in that rpm range".I ride in anywhere from slow,mild cruise mode to 5,6,7 and up cruise mode.My plugs look perfect(I'm on my second set in 46,000 miles).My valves look fine...spec'd fine.My bike does not heat up excessively.It pulls great.It shifts great.If there is any engine damage....when is it gonna show up?IDK....everyone has a right natch to their opinion...it's cool...I'm just curious why there are several who feel Jeffo's maps are a crapshoot and an engine blow just waiting to happen.
He's not claiming to be the "god of the mapping world",so why are so many STILL critcizing his ability to do what he does?And who on here can say..."he's not dynoing"....who says he's not?Right there where he lives,he's got access to several Dyno machines.Anyone here KNOW how long he was Dynoing bikes BEFORE he began mapping sportbikes?Some guys have a gift to ride.Some guys,a gift to figure out how to shred on an electric guitar.Who's to say Jeffo isn't gifted at being able to put together a good map for a particular bike,and get it really good?Maybe he understands basic principles more than the average "Dyno Guy".Maybe he comprehends mixes better than some.Maybe he just has a feel for what makes what work best for X or Y engine layout.My bike runs REALLY well.And has since installing my map from Jeffo.It runs better than any Dynojet/Muzzy map.I'm guessing Muzzy,Brock,and the others have a pretty "same" type of map for a particular bike.If you ran a Muzzy,then installed a Brock for the same mods and all...I think your mapping is gonna look quite close.These guys are doing it a certain tried and true way.Doesn't mean someone else can't come along and have a different view...and different results.
Actually,nobody here KNOWS Jeffo...what he's been doing from "day one" to now.He might have been tuning bikes since he was 6 years old.Who knows?I don't.But apparently he's got quite a lot of people who know him in Nevada,or wherever that is he's working out of.
This has intrigued me from the beginning about the "JeffoMaps" thing.There does seem to be a certain amount of "can't be done" here.A good amount of it.And WHY is that?That's what I'm curious about.Maybe I'm just "not getting it"....could be.Been wrong before.
I don't remember seeing any negative values in the -30 range at all.Nothing even close.
And I'm not "pro-Jeffo" either.If his map wasn't working for me,I'd say so.
