AH HA! So it doesn't have anything to do w limiting power,wheelie control or braking the engine under acceleration, it's just for off-throttle? I've had it OFF, guess I'll try LIGHT and see what it feels like....think back to carburated bike where throttle blades did not completely close and left idle fuel circuit exposed. when you let off throttle it coasted somewhat. ...fast forward to FI and fly by wire with 100% ECU throttle blade control. No need for vacuum to pull idle fuel the blades can more fully close and engine stay running. The control can be tight (off) for hyper control or dampened (on) to simulate old carbs. I didnt like it off but maybe someone likes it?
Spot on ....Light setting means less engine braking. It does make a difference for sure.
I have my bike a month, 1000 miles hit yesterday, have had it OFF the whole time, going to switch it to LIGHT today from what you & the other folks are posting sounds like it would be better on LIGHT for every day/the road. I didn't buy an H2 for saving gas but from what you describe sounds like LIGHT would maybe increase mpg quite a bit too.I had it off, but turned it on today.. its great.. if you find it hard to stay at a steady throttle, or just want it to glide more.. this is what you want on.. when its off.. the throttle is aggressive and the engine really breaks hard.. but with it on light.. itll coast for ages.
Thanks for the info, will try to set to 'light' and test tomorrow, cheersI had it off, but turned it on today.. its great.. if you find it hard to stay at a steady throttle, or just want it to glide more.. this is what you want on.. when its off.. the throttle is aggressive and the engine really breaks hard.. but with it on light.. itll coast for ages.
First time reading this thread, this ^ is correct. When we were doing our throttle mapping for better throttle control we went to KEBC LIGHT and I've had it there ever since. If you are a roadracer you want this setting on. If you are a straight-line guy and you like to "wack" your throttle and feel the kick of the supercharger then leave it off.It slightly lessens the engine braking effect during closed throttle operation. I definitely noticed the on/off throttle abruptness get better when I turned on KEBC.
