Excellent thread. Very helpful and informative.

I think I'll have to get one for my RD07A

Any further information to add before I buy one ??

I contacted igitech yesterday and this is their reply.


Unfortunately Honda TCI with 16pin connector is not available now.
We can offer programmable unit TCIP4 (161.98 EUR) with connector adapter (23.14 EUR). This is plug and play connection. Unit will be preprogrammed for work on your bike. Recommended accessories is USB/COM cable for connection with PC

Hi,
I have this too (TCIP4), Ignitech programmed the advance curve for me according to Snowmad's values and it works.
But their USB/COM cable doesn't work with Windows 11, I had to buy another one to access the unit.

Thanks for that. The whole set up with delivery to the UK is about £250 now. Still worth it ???

Also, where did you get your USB/COM cable from ? I have windows 11.

Cheers, Ted

I emailed them and they said their cable definitely works with Windows 11.

I'll bite the bullet and order it. They said they will program it for me. Although I'd prefer to play with it myself 😁

I will definitely save the map. I run my own BMW motorcycle workshop. But I own and enjoy these older Jap adv bikes. They're what I grew up with. So tinkering will be fun. I do love the AT, but it's feeling really slow in the world of electric vehicles and hot hatches. I'm going to try and squeeze as many horses out of her that I can without getting silly with engine work. I want to keep the reliability.

I've bought an AFR guage which I will be retrofitting an 02 Sensor into the front down pipe. So I can monitor the fueling. Ive got a freer flowing silencer and I will mod the air intake a little too.

I can't seem to get any decent data on what the stock jets are on a 96/97 Rd07a.

Anyway. Back to ignition. I saw Adam Reiman (warhorse) put decent mapped CDI box on his Rd07 and he rides that thing like we wish we could ours 😜

Mine is on its way. But beware the tax and fees. £50 extra. Ouch. Seems excessive.

I put a question regarding stock jetting on a Facebook AT group. People with RD07A have all kinds of odd jetting from new. Depending on the year, country etc. Some have 115. Some have 118/120 from new.

Oddly, before any kind of emission testing the RD07 had 118/120. So that's what Honda know runs best with stock exhaust.

I'm upping mine to 120 front, 122 rear. I have an open exhaust and better breathing airbox. The rear cylinder runs hotter so the larger jet is required to keep it cool.

If you're running 115/115, I suggest you try up-jetting.
