Default Bully and/or EJK Settings for VN1700's

With the growing popularity of the Bully / EJK Fuel manager, I thought that it might be a good idea to post settings so that we can compare and share results.

I believe that I officially have the first Bully specifically programmed for a 2009 1700 Classic which has a different ECU than the Voyager/Vaquero/Nomad version.

All VN1700 Bully modules come preprogrammed for Aftermarket Pipes and Intake with the following settings:

Green / Yellow / Red / Green-Blue / Yellow-Blue / Red-Blue

With Pipes & Intake:

2.5 / 3.5 / 1.5 / 6 / 2.5 / 3.5

Since I got rid of my BAK, my Classic is essentially stock, so I have chosen to start with the following settings: (This is a bit richer in the bottom end than G-Man Suggested for a bone stock VN1700)

Vulcan Hammer's Stock Settings:

1 / 1.5 / 1 / 6 / 3.5 / 4.5

G-Man suggested the following for a Stock VN1700:

0.5 / 0.5 / 0.5 / 6 / 3.5 / 4.5

I won't have any nice weather until the weekend to test my settings, but I am hoping to see what some of your settings and results are.

Remember to state what MODs you have made along with your settings.
Any notes on performance results would be good too!

Clearly the Bully isn't as popular as I thought

Oh, well...someone has to start these balls rolling...

Let me know how the bully performs for you. I have a stock 2009 1700 Classic and am thinking about investing in one.

Figman,

It's supposed to get upwards of 14C/57F on Sunday, so hopefully I'll have something to report by then

My first real roadtest with the following settings (Nov. 13th):

1 / 1.5 / 1 / 6 / 3.5 / 4.5 (Stock VN1700 Classic LT, outdoor temp 16C/61F)

- smoother idle, warms up faster
- smoother and improved acceleration in first and second
- seems to run a little cooler
- little to no appreciable improvement in top end (as I am probably a little rich there with these settings. I will try dropping the Red/3rd zone down from 1 to .5)
- no appreciable knocking with the first tank of 89 octane, but marginal knocking with second tank of 91 octane.
- no appreciable drop in mileage, and I was driving more aggressively

Latest Settings (Nov. 16th):

1 / 1.5 / 0.5 / 6 / 3 / 4

Seems a little more responsive now including top end.

Thanks for the feedback. Update as you "experiment".
