Nice review I fitted a Booster Plug 2 years ago to my 2011 K13 to smooth out a rough and random idling issue I was experiencing. I live in Darwin (average temp >30 degrees C) and was wondering if it was going to work. It did the job for me. My bike doesn't stall at the lights anymore. I have a Leovince can fitted and only experience exhaust popping when I ride a litter harder.
I bought one if these and didnt noticed much change on my AFR sensor (in fact the mixture was barely changed). I opened the booster plug up and its simply a resistor that has the temperature probe going across it. Very basic unit and nothing like the 'clever' unit they suggest it is.
Are you saying, unequivocally, that the Booster Plug will be of benefit? If you are, and you seem extremely knowledgeable then I'll purchase the item on your recommendation. Superb review. Thank you 😎
Hello, my 2009 Honda cbr600rr with hiss equipment ecm is not working, I want to adjust the ecm without hiss equipment, please give me detailed information 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the detailed video. May I ask what kind of mirrors are these that fit nicely on the K1300R ? Are you satisfied with the view etc? Needed some kind of modification to fit them ? Thanks for your time.
Hi! I literally just fitted these and I love them. They are Fenrir brand bar-end mirrors, model 801-0324. The view is good and I find them easier to use than the stock mirror location. Plus it makes the bike look way better. They bolt right on, but I'll also upload a video about these soon so you can see it. Note that this particular model is the blue tinted glass and if you want "white" (normal) glass, you will need to search for that model in the Fenrir catalogue.
@@KaldekBoch thanks ! they do indeed look very nice on the bike. Also that mod with the quad lock is spot on. The blue tint i think helps with the led headlight behind ? Probably will go the same way. Ready to see the Fenrir video when you are 🙂
People... a Booster Plug is a very temporary improvement and a permanent waste of money. It sends a biased voltage from the airbox to the ECU, which causes the motor to immediately run slightly richer. ("immediate and as expected impressive results") But since we are not interrupting the signal from the O2 sensor to the ECU, the ECU knows that the mixture is rich, and in all closed loop cells (generally from idle to 3/4 max rpm/closed to 3/4 throttle) will gradually rewrite those cells, first with short-term fuel trim, then permanently with long-term fuel trim, until all closed loop cells are now back at 14.7/1 stoichiometric. Normally, within 500 miles, your Booster Plug is having no more affect at all, but nobody ever writes back 500 miles later to say how the bike feels normal again. If you want to permanently change the AFR in closed loop cells, you need to bias the O2 sensor signal, using something such as an AF-XiED.
Unless you know exactly how the AF-XiED works - exactly - then posting three paragraphs of "Booster Plug don't work" followed by "use an AF-XiED" is just as subjective. It also discounts how each unique ECU treats closed loop and exactly which loads cells where closed loop is ever used. Blanked statements like "3/4 throttle" are highly subjective and unless one knows exactly where their particular ECU uses closed loop or not. Please, if you're going to reply and discuss this here on my channel, be as objective as possible and no personal attacks.

Is this sarcasm? That can’t be genuine 😂

So did it make a difference?

@@ErrorFlynn yep the tint is for LED headlight glare as I understand it.
Does having the booster plug alter the temperature readout on the instrument cluster? (assuming the K can display ambient temperature on there)
No, that is a different sensor. Intake Air Temperature can vary greatly from ambient temperature in an engine, so these are always different sensors.
