Teka SFI tuning tool
It's the Factory pro designed tool specifically designed to reprogram the stock Suzuki ECU / computer.

As compared to a power commander, Major features are virtually 100% reliability, as the reliability is the same as the stock ECU and there is no permanently mounted add-on box to fail and changes take 30 seconds and NO laptop.

Realtime tuning, no maps to lose, no problems with RF interference, no computer required to tune, no instant 1% to 2% hp loss w/ zero map, Easy to tune at the track on the pit wall, takes only about 20 seconds to make changes, easy to change during a 600 mile service, easy to tune for those new pipes your parts dept. just sold, no waiting in line for someone to non-optimally "tune to an a/f ratio", fits in your back pocket, digital accuracy, and do one, a 100 or a 1000 bikes.

Team Vesrah, Suzuki Cup World Champion Robert Jensen, Hooters Racing and many more have and use the TEKA SFi.
In fact, 5 WERA National Championships and one World Championship were won using the TEKA SFi.

In a championship race, even one power commander failure can mean winning the overall and finishing second in a years worth of work -

Teka MMT Module
EZ tune MMT (adj. memory module) Power Tube

1 MMT module + shipping
Additional notes for seller

 

 

MMT Power Switch

After tuning with a Teka SFI 2,
you can use this optional module to fine fine adjust fueling with a screwdriver adjustable rotary switch.

MMT plugs right in to the bikes tuning port (same as the SFI).

If tuning with the SFI 2 / MMT combination:
The MMT is plugged into the bike, the SFI 2 is plugged into the MMT and all tuning settings from the SFI 2 are stored in the MMT and automatically transferred to the bike.
After SFI tuning, the SFI is removed and the MMT is left on the bike.
Then, for any fine tuning or adjusting after you maybe change air filters or similar or high altitude or a lot of freeway riding, you can just tweak the MMT Power Select Switch to a different number.
"5" = "as tuned with the SFI 2
"6" to "9" = incrementally richer
"4" to "1" = incrementally richer
"0" = "All zero ECU settings

If tuning with the MMT only (without custom SFI tuning):
If just installing an MMT without SFI custom  retuning, just installing the MMT will allow you to adjust, globally, incrementally richer or leaner with the Power Select rotary switch.

If you first install an MMT and decide the have it custom tuned with the SFI 2,  no problem.
Just plug the SFI 2 into the MMT's Tuning port and tune that perfect map.

Then, you still have the ability to "trim" map for conditions with the Power Select Switch - and you even have, by setting it at "0", to recheck how the "zero" map was in comparison to your "SFI Tuned Map". 

EZ install - all stock connectors, no splicing.

Tech notes on modified gsxr1000 engines:

Gains on modified 1000 Suzuki engines with Yoshimura or similar cams seem to develop more of an improvement than expected. I've seen as much as 6 to 8 True hp (that's power measured under load on an EC997 dyne system and not on a dealership level dynojet dyno).
Getting better than expected results with longer cams in the gsxr1000 is contrary to what happens when you put longer cams in a Honda 929 or 954 and try our "shorter" stacks.... That doesn't seem to work well and required that one redegree the cams to work with the Honda "longer duration" race cams.

and for what it's worth, "Jeff W", "Lee S" and "Jeff S" forgot to look outside their small boxes..... There's a big world out there and it probably doesn't revolve around their omnipotence and their dj dynos. :-)

 


Billet GSXR 1000 SUPERFLARE Stacks

Stacks and BMC RACE filter - Add up to +1 to +2 PEAK True HP and +5 at 7k and +6 at 10k True HP in 30 minutes.

We did it without fuel mapping
.

The Factory Pro stacks on the 1000 benefit  from the BMC Race filter. While the BMC RACE filter will add a bit of power with stock stacks, the combination of the FP stacks AND the filter gives a benefit greater than the sum to the 2 individual parts.

All HP figures are recorded on the EC997 Series dynamometers - The dynos that read the same - dyno to dyno.

You may get even better results if the bike is retuned, using the Best Power method. For best tuning results, Do NOT tune to an a/f ratio. - A/F Ratio tuning is a low level dealership level procedure and never results in optimal results.

V Stack Development Process
(by Marc Salvisberg)
These velocity stacks were originally designed using flow bench test data and then, redesigned ON the bike.
A flow bench, regardless of what many people assume, is only a measurement of airflow at a relatively slow air velocity AND only in a simplistic "steady state", constant flow rate. Steady State works great on a dyno for load (as it duplicates wind loading at speed), but Steady State air velocity on a flow bench isn't the optimal testing state for duplicating the "in / out" and "stop / go" air flow conditions of an engine. That's where a "flow bench developed" stack wanders away from optimum (except on another flow bench)
That's why you can have 2 ported cylinder heads and the one that flows "less", according to a flow bench, that makes better power.
I left out a LOT of other reasons as to why "flow bench" stacks don't work as well as "engine developed" stacks, but, essentially, the low velocity and slow air speed rates are right in there as far as plausible reasons go.

The Factory Pro Stacks have a smooth, constantly increasing divergent angle and the flare radius is the optimal complimentary dimension that gives the best "engine tested" airflow AND the best intake tract pressure wave propagation rate AND wave recovery rates.
The wave properties of a velocity stack are what makes the bike stronger when it's "on the pipe" and "airflow" is what make power at very high rpms.
They are mutually antagonistic...... (and hence the balance of dimensions of a properly designed v stack)

You can see the difference in a "flow bench" developed stack and our "engine" developed stack - Our "engine" stack will be significantly better in the powerband and will rev higher with power - without losing power at low rpm or part throttle.
The flow bench developed stack will have a very large radius, and will flow more on a flow bench, but will not be as effective on the engine at mid to higher rpms, where the large radius severely damages wave propagation and recovery strength.  Less wave efficiency = less power on the powerband.

There are several other factors involved in v stack design that are even further past the wave and radius relationships and we are working on these, too. Thanks, Marc


A Factory Pro Tuner's kit, consisting of a range of stack lengths from 15 to 60mm, in 10mm increments, to allow the best possible tuning for modified engines, consisting of a range of sizes of stacks is available exclusively to Factory Pro Dyno Centers using EC997 dynos.
Factory Pro
 If you look at 2004 WERA Suzuki Cup Finals and The Suzuki World Cup Finals - you might notice that every cup winner either has a Factory Pro EC997 dyno or has used one!!! (and third place didn't....)

Testimonials

I shopped for dynos for over 2 years.  I have tuned on all of them, dynojet, Superflow , etc.
The EC997 is the best one.
Link it up with the true 4 gas EGA and I can tune around any O2 sensor derived map and you will feel the difference...not just in your wallet like all the rest. Bold statements but I have done it.....
Going in deep on that reply but what the hey -  I have the best dyno.. Thanks

hi marc,
just like to say thanks, one of my customers dropped up his gsxr1000k4 today to have his v stacks installed that he purchased from you last week. just finished running his bike on dyno and well what can i say you guys sure make great products, the difference was really credible  and another happy customer for both of us.

Shift STAR

Note:
The stock detent star seems to loosen up the bolt that holds it on, causing missed shifts - esp. 2nd gear. Your Suzuki dealer will probably warranty it (if possible) and retighten it. It's a perfect time to install our S70 Detent Star, which fits tighter and is less likely to loosen up again, like the stock star.

Shift STAR Kit
Use star and spring for quickest shifting.
The "Paddle Shifter" for your foot -
The Suzukis (and ZX10's, zx6's, cbr600rr's, and the Yamaha's) need help in shifting.
Specifically, the 04 style gsxr shift action is very flat feeling and gives very little tactile feedback as to confidence that it's really in gear or not. I hate it when you shift and you can hear the shift mechanism sort of  lazily "kathwaka" into it's "maybe" final gear location. I like a confident, proper "snick"! - After redesigning and testing and redesigning and testing, and redesigning and testing...... I now see how easy it is to get it wrong.
We have a new detent "star" with a copyrighted profile (yep, the "science failed, so it's artwork - so it's copyrighted) that includes a peculiar combination of compound arcs and radii that produces a shift action that makes it almost impossible to miss a shift ("almost" is the key word here!), especially 2nd gear in upshifts and all the downshifts - At least, if you miss 2nd, now, you will be REALLY surprised - cause it's now such a rare occurrence.
Downshifting confidence is 100% easier and better - just as important as not missing upshifts.

Beautifully machined on 44 Axis CNC machinery, machined from solid Cro Mo steel bar stock, heat treated, a complex radii, beautiful part.

Factory Pro Ignition Advance Plate

Adding this +4 plate (the same plate as what generally works best on the gsxr600 and the alternate for the gsxr750), will generally perk up the mighty 1000 to the tune of 2-3 more True HP when measured under full load (that's the proper way to measure real world power)  - but only if the stock ECU is remapped with the TEKA SFI tool. Part throttle power (power out of a corner) is also better. If one installs a pc or ems and electronically adds +4, the ignition "scatter" problems often negate the benefit of the more proper timing.

Power Commander Ignition Module SCALING Notes

(as of 2018)

In my experience, the Power Commander Ignition module "says" +/- "10", but it really only seems to change the ignition timing about +/-2-3 degrees (as of at least 09/19).  This was backed up by a DJ importer's experience.
According to a customer, dj told him  that ignition timing, doesn't affect power very much
.
That's just wrong.
Factory Pro has over 30 years of research and development in high accuracy tuning in general and 20 years in producing Ignition Advancers (which REALLY DO change the ignition timing!)  and we've been producing
dynamometers that read to .1 and .2 HP increments.

Testing on real load dyno, under realistic load, multiple DJ Ignition Modules on 600's and 1000's show that DJ +10  to DJ -10 "DJ degrees" equals around a 1% to 2% HP spread.
How could you change ignition timing a supposed "TWENTY DEGREES" and only affect the HP by 1% to 2%????

You can't change the ignition timing 20 degrees and only affect the power by a couple percent -  That's an obvious fact.
If you had "Best Power" ignition timing set and you retard or advance the timing a REAL 10 degrees, the bike world hardly run, losing around 10% - 20% True HP  if you retarded it.
if you advanced it a real 10 degrees, you'd lose a bunch of power, too and also, likely, give it fits of detonation.

Now - I'm still perplexed about the guy who posted that he gained 7 HP on his dynojet dyno with a "+5" setting on his DJ Ign Module!.   5 DJ degrees /  about 1 REAL degree = 5 hp? and also perplexed about the ignition map that I got from a DJ sponsored Race team that showed +1 and +2 and -1's in their "official"  map! Lessee? They changed the ignition timing a miniscule  real .2 degree and they could see that hp change?
The 06 R6 that we were working on? It actually wanted more than 10 "dynojet degrees" in quite a few every part throttle positions for Best Power settings and all of the full throttle settings ended up at +5 to +10 "dynojet degrees". Compare that to the zero settings at full throttle that were supplied and the +1, +2 an +3 "dj degree" settings that were supplied.

A significant ignition timing change, that power can be measured would MAYBE be a real 1 degree - but you can only measure the HP change if the fuel mixture is absolutely PERFECT for Best power (NOT to misleading dealership level "AFR tuning") already -

 Normally, a REAL 2 degrees ignition timing change will change the power (on a Perfectly fueled engine) by about 1%.

(example 100 True HP > 101 True HP if a "good direction change" OR 99 True HP if it was "the wrong 2 deg direction change").



When tuning on an
EC997 dyno, (which has the capability of measuring .1 to .2 HP changes), essentially, there are only a couple of DJ Ign Module settings:

Zero
+5 Dynojet degrees or
+10 Dynojet degrees
and maybe "7" if "5" and "10" make the same power

"5 Dynojet degrees = about 2 Real degrees"

So - what does that tell you?
That you need to do testing on a high quality dyne system.
Then, you too, can learn all these "unpopular" facts!
We helped Jordan Racing develop into the top ranked AMA team they are.

Hi Marc,
 
I ran Factory Pro engine covers on my rookie season in 2005 as a Novice rider with the CMRA.  As you know us rookies tend to crash a bit more than others.  I'm sure I'm not the first to say the covers and sliders ROCK!  On several lowsides throughout the season the bike slid on the sliders and never once tumbled.  I contribute this to the position on the slider on the bike.  Friends with conventional sliders found the slider digging in and flipping the bike causing much damage. Needless to say, my season ended in one Championship and two 3rd places.  CMRA seen fit to bump me to expert in 2006.  I purchased two brand new GSXR's and have already installed Factory Pro covers on the one through RaceworX in Dallas.  Unfortunately I had the chance once again on December 20th  at MSR Houston to test them out.  Once again they performed great!!!! The bike slid on the slider.  Beside a few scrapes on the plastic the bike was not damaged. 
 
With this said I feel like I could represent your product with much confidence! If you offer a support program I would be glad to participate.  As I said, I have already purchased a set for the Superbike.  I'm only in need of a left side stator cover for the 06 GSXR 1000.  Attached is a copy of my resume along with a rendering on the new paint scheme for the 2006 season.
 
I feel the your product has saved me a ton of $$$$ in crash repairs over the past season.

Factory Pro Series "S52"

AWESOME sportbike AND  Formula Extreme WEAPON

With roughly 8-10 True HP more than the R1, even without pressurizing the airbox, (125 to 126 unpressurized True hp for the gsxr100 (add ~8-10 for top gear road power) vs. 115 to 117 True HP for a stock R1 vs.112 to 113 unpressurized True HP for a stock '01 zx9r  (add ~8-10 for top gear road power)) the gsxr1000 is the True HP King of Sportbikes.

All HP figures are recorded on the EC997 Series dynamometers - The dynos that read the same - dyno to dyno.

Handling at speed:
Works.

Simple Horsepower improvement:
The
FI-BMC-23709R BMC Race will add more power than any other similar "stock replacement filter" OR the BMC STREET filter, and it absolutely requires remapping with Teka Suzuki  FI Mapper .  On the 4 Gas EC997, along with the BMC Race filter with Teka mapping, improved the power by a full 5 True HP! (yes, I was surprised, too.)
Best results with a pc or yosh ems was ~1-2 less than the TEKA SFI tool.

RTR-SUZ-37-04 Ignition Advance Plate: Adding this +4 plate (the same plate as what generally works best on the gsxr600 and the alternate for the gsxr750), will generally perk up the mighty 1000 to the tune of 2-3 more True HP when measured under full load (that's the proper way to measure real world power)  - but only if the stock ECU is remapped with the TEKA SFI tool. Part throttle power (power out of a corner) is also better. If one installs a pc or ems and electronically adds +4, the ignition "scatter" problems often negate the benefit of the more proper timing.

Shifting
Wow.
Suzuki managed to pretty much copy our HD spring and Bearinged Detent Arm and then proceeded to make the bike shift poorly, with popping out of second gear on the track being the most obvious problem.
(That is different from the stock shift detent star loosening up.....which creeps up on 1000's and 750's. If yours starts randomly missing shifts, it possible that the stock detent "star" mounting bolt has loosened up and needs to be tightened - Heck! What a perfect time to replace the stock "star" with our copyrighted
S-51 Mark 1 Star!)

True Rear Wheel HorsepowerŪ Factory EC997a Eddy Current Dynamometer

Notes:

June, 2002
Addendum...
01 gsxr600 factory kit ECU is too lean for the 750, too.
And the  ignition curve is ALL wrong for the 750. As IF the 750 needed to rev to 14,500!
That's even if we tweaked the 600 box to the max...... with the TEKA SFI......
Yes, we do try goofy stuff!
:-)

June 1, 2001
HP limited classes.....
Urban lore
is that a gsxr1000 will make ~2 more hp if the clutch safety switch is closed. What some Suzuki tuners do is swap the clutch safety switch to the front brake side and set it "contact" early so it "connects" with very little lever travel.
When the rider needs the extra 2 hp, he pulls in the front brake lever just a little bit, just so the switch is closed and power appears on the track. I suppose it could happen for some reason.... Dunno.
When the bike is being tested for "maximum" power after the race, the dyno operator (perhaps a sponsor) doesn't pull in the lever and the extra hp just isn't there!
Or - they just "think" it's better......
Maybe it's urban legend......??????

April 20, 2001
Just a note - 01 gsxr600 factory kit ECU is too lean for the 1000. As IF the 1000 needed to rev to 14,500! Maybe if we tweaked the 600 box internally to full rich with Teka Suzuki FI Adjuster and stacked a Teka FI Unit on, too......
Yes, we do try goofy stuff!

application:
gsxr600 99-05 (06-07 is same part, but it's mounted in the RH engine cover)
gsxr750 98-05 (06-07 is same part, but it's mounted in the RH engine cover)
gsxr1000, 01-07

tools required:
5mm allen wrench
#2 philips screwdriver
medium flatbladed screwdriver
Razor blade or Exacto knife
gasket sealant

14mm socket
air wrench


A look in.

Location of ignition trigger mounting plate on:

gsxr600, 97-01 (and similar)
gsxr750, 96-01 (and similar)
gsxr1000, 01(and similar)

1. Remove the outer "palm sized" small starter cover   (already removed).

2. Remove the inner, larger starter clutch cover (already removed). Remember, there is a screw in the upper left of the inner cover that is not accessible until the small, outer cover is removed. You will probably reuse the gasket

3. Remove the starter clutch bolt with a 14mm air wrench (that's the easiest and quickest way).

4. Remove the original ignition plate from the engine cases with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. (it's under the starter clutch gear)

 



5. With a flatbladed screwdriver, remove the ignition trigger coil from the original mounting plate and reinstall it onto the new Factory Pro ignition plate.
Be careful NOT to stab yourself with the screwdriver!

Note: The gold center core plate (at B, down arrow) of the coil assembly MUST extent "proud" of the surrounding off-white epoxy area when installed and tightened. There is a small amount of play to adjust with, and it must project outwards, towards the ignition rotor, usually ~.005" to .010".  (In other words, a real little bit)
If the center core is below the off-white surrounding area, the voltage produced will detrimentally affect the ignition system and make the engine difficult or impossible to start.

6. After installing the trigger coil to the ignition plate, temporarily reinstall the starter clutch and bolt and rotate the engine so that rotor projection at B, up arrow is aligned with the trigger coil (so you can measure the trigger coil clearance).

7. Install A-1phillips screw, snug. Install  A-2 Phillips screw and snug down.

8. Measure the clearance at B. It should be .015" to .020". Adjust by loosening A-1 and A-2 and pushing the plate towards the rotor. Tighten screws when done.
Notes:
1.   .040" pickup coil to ignition rotor clearance will make the engine difficult or impossible to start.

2.  So - you cracked the magnet because you didn't line up the locating hole......
     It's OK - just put the 2 pieces together and retighten the 2 flat bladed screws. Lucky you!

 

dynoroom,onramp,toright.jpg (198084 bytes)



Question: If .040" clearance will make the engine difficult to start, and .020 starts well, is .010" better? Haven't had time to test that, yet...

9. Check the tightness of the coil plate screws, reinstall the ignition plate. Use a bit of light strength thread locking compound on the screws if you want, for a good job.

10. Reinstall the starter clutch and mounting bolt. BE SURE to line up the indexing marks on the crankshaft end and the starter clutch or the TDC marks will be wrong and that could cause big problems if using the TDC marks to adjust the valves later.....

11. Reinstall the covers (don't forget the screw under the small cover). Replace or reseal gaskets as necessary.

12. You should not have any parts left over, except for the old ignition plate.

Power Commander Ignition Module Notes

In my experience, the $350 Power Commander Ignition module "says" +/- "10", but it really only seems to change the ignition timing about +/-2-3 degrees (as of at least 02/09).  This was backed up by a DJ importer's experience.
According to a customer, dj told him  that ignition timing, doesn't affect power very much
.
That's just wrong.
Factory Pro has over 30 years of research and development in high accuracy tuning in general and 20 years in producing Ignition Advancers (which REALLY DO change the ignition timing!)  and we've been producing
dynamometers that read to .1 and .2 HP increments.

Testing on real load dyno, under realistic load, multiple DJ Ignition Modules on 600's and 1000's show that DJ +10  to DJ -10 "DJ degrees" equals aromd a 1% to 2% HP spread.
How could you change ignition timing a supposed "TWENTY DEGREES" and only affect the HP by 1% to 2%????

You can't change the ignition timing 20 degrees and only affect the power by a couple percent -  That's an obvious fact.
If you had "Best Power" ignition timing set and you retard or advance the timing a REAL 10 degrees, the bike world hardly run, losing around 10% - 20% True HP  if you retarded it.
if you advanced it a real 10 degrees, you'd lose a bunch of power, too and also, likely, give it fits of detonation.

Now - I'm still perplexed about the guy who posted that he gained 7 HP on his dynojet dyno with a "+5" setting on his DJ Ign Module!  - .5 DJ degrees /  about 1 REAL degree = 5 hp? and also perplexed about the ignition map that I got from a DJ sponsored Race team that showed +1 and +2 and -1's in their "official"  map! Lessee? They changed the ignition timing a miniscule  real .2 degree and they could see that hp change?
The 06 R6 that we were working on? It actually wanted more than 10 "dynojet degrees" in quite a few every part throttle positions for Best Power settings and all of the full throttle settings ended up at +5 to +10 "dynojet degrees". Compare that to the zero settings at full throttle that were supplied and the +1, +2 an +3 "dj degree" settings that were supplied.

A significant ignition timing change, that power can be measured would MAYBE be a real 1 degree - but you can only measure the HP change if the fuel mixture is absolutely PERFECT for Best power (NOT to misleading dealership level "AFR tuning") already -

 Normally, a REAL 2 degrees ignition timing change will change the power (on a Perfectly fueled engine) by about 1%.

(example 100 True HP > 101 True HP if a "good direction change" OR 99 True HP if it was "the wrong 2 deg direction change").

So - the only reason to run a DJ Ignition Module is to use a DJ Quickshifter (until the TEKA 4 QS upgrade is released)
 the DJ Ignition function is, otherwise, essentially $350 useless cost.

When tuning on and EC997 dyno, (which has the capability of measuring .1 to .2 HP changes), essentially, there are only a couple of DJ Ign Module settings:
Zero
+ or - 5 Dynojet degrees or
+ or 1 10 Dynojet degrees
and maybe "7" if "5" and "10" make the same power
Don't expect huge HP changes - as, as described above, you'll see 1 or 2 hp at best (at least on a real dyno)

So - what does that tell you?
That you need to do testing on a high quality dyne system, like the
Factory Pro EC997 .
Then, you too, can learn all these "unpopular" facts!
Like inertia HP isn't real HP in the real world, dj hp numbers are bogus, tuning to an AFR for best performance is a myth....

The extension of the laboratory for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal use but well preserved.
