Doug is no longer with Fuggin Fab bro. I'd love to look at mine and share my settings but I no longer have a Fury to plug it into.
Thanks Mental, appreciate the info...RY, Doug closed for 1 day, BUT he is reopening in different location! Wait couple of weeks. You can order through his dealers.![]()
I can tell you from personal experience that Mode 4 controls the amount of backfire that is being put out by the bike. I went from 1 on mode 4 to 2, then 3, then 4, to my current position of 3.5. There is a huge difference in the amount of backfire that my bike produces now.RSS-
I guess BarFury's comment about the rev limiter and Rfury's testing of it makes any adjusting that we are doing in mode 4 useless. Our engines never reach the rpm range that is talked about in our instructions(5280-5600) that came with our controllers for adjusting mode 4. Someone dropped the ball BIG TIME here and I am not happy about it.

I got a question, not to go off subject to much to much, but why did you choose the Fuggin controller over the other ones out there?
I bought it for the plug and play options and it seemed like a relatively easy Fuel Controller to adjust.I got a question, not to go off subject to much to much, but why did you choose the Fuggin controller over the other ones out there?
And this is also the reason I bought it. In addition, I wanted something that was going to work with the Viper 2s, I didn't like any other pipes that I saw.Because I bought fuggin pipes and the controller was supposed to be set up for them with no need for adjustments....didn't pan out that way though....it actually is an easy fuel controller to adjust, problem is you have to adjust, ride, adjust, ride, etc.....if I were to do it all over again, I'd be looking into something that would adjust to your individual bike....but I've spent the money and will find the settings that work for me.
Awesome, glad you chimed in! I have been thinking about taking out my pair valve as well for awhile, but my mechanic didn't advise it because of possible warranty issues. So, I never did (least for now) and I am wishing that I would have now. Appreciate all your honesty about your testing, pretty sure it will help somebody out, including me once I get around to removing the valve.And this is also the reason I bought it. In addition, I wanted something that was going to work with the Viper 2s, I didn't like any other pipes that I saw.
BTW, The early models of the fuggin controller did NOT have the decel chip or was not programmed correctly. (This is per Doug) He would fix that for you if you had problems with pop on decel. He just asked that you send it back to him and he would reprogram. Now what I'm about to say is total speculation, but reading the controller documentation and the RPM range defined for mode 4, I wonder if the adjustment Doug told me about was to redefine mode for to an appropriate RPM range for the Fury.
I have not posted my settings because I'm starting from square one. Predator also has this fuel controller and the default controller settings are the settings from his bike after it was dyno'd. His bike also is very similar to mine, so I figured if it worked for him, it will work for me.
Search this forum for pair valve removal or desmog. It seems like there are a lot of people that think removing the pair valves would make a significant difference. I bought the service manual for the fury and read up on it last night. It seems easy enough to remove and thanks to a posting by Gar, I think I understand it well enough to give it a shot. This doesn't mean Gar suggested doing this, as a matter of fact he didn't endorse either doing it or not. Other people that I respect as being more authoritative on these matters are Clueless and BarFury both of which have chimed in on this being nothing more than EPA requirements and does nothing for performance. As a matter of fact, I think clueless has removed the secondary air system all together.

I have also read about dsmogging on other forums and talked to some bike mechanics and they also have informed me that a lot of people remove the pair check valves when they modify the intake and exhaust.
All this talking got my buddy to try it on his bike (not a VTX). He didn't have a lot of backfire or gurgling, but it was there. After he desmogged, the bike doesn't snap, crackle or pop.
At lunch today I figured I'd try blocking the fresh air vacuum hose that runs to the pair valve solenoid. I then went out to ride.
No backfire, no popping. None. I tried to ride like a jackass, heavy on the throttle keeping a higher RPM. Normally that's where I have problems, yet I still had no popping on decel.
The true test is going to be taking it out on the expressway, once it passes that test I'm going to remove the secondary air system all together.
That's all I have to say about that.

Tony, I agree, good stuff from Scratch, and you as well. I also experimented with the popping the other day and, like you, found it popped if I didn't return the throttle fully. I don't know about you, but my throttle has a good bit of play in it. I need to bone up more on the pair valve issue and it's effects.......thanks.Scratch:
Good info you provided.
I found that I can create poping on decel by not allowing the throttle to return fully and holding it partially..
I can get it popping pretty good.
I too am considering blocking the fresh air vacuum hose that runs to the pair valve solenoid.
From your test at lunch it sounds like it had a noticeable effect.
Keep us informed on the expressway ride.
Thanks

i had alot of play in my throttle also one of the first things i did was adjust it. look in your owners manual it will tell you how to adjust the play if its to sloppy.Tony, I agree, good stuff from Scratch, and you as well.
