Wonder if Ivan's tune will work in my snowblower?

schlappy95 · 04-16-2018, 08:05 PM

So, my ECU is here but as you can see by my photos, I won't be testing it out yet. However, on a positive note maybe the ECU will give my snowblower a boost.
I love spring in Alberta.

I'll be heading out to Jasper in june ... Maybe I should invest in a ski doo .

Next week we're suppose to see double digits !!! Spring will come !

We got about six inches of snow & ice here the past couple of days.Yesterday was a awful day for trying to get around.

It just started snowing here about half hour ago and the ground is completely white . We're suppose to see up to 10cm of snow today .

Anyone have a blower I can borrow ?

On the brighter side , they say double digits buy Friday !!

Weather totally sux here too, but I've been riding most days. Good thing the Super Tenere has snow tires, eh!
I'm practicing for my ride to Tuktoyaktuk in June, lots of dirt roads and possible snow up there.

Have a GREAT ride to Tuk, that along with Dead Horse are 2 places I want to ride to. But don't think that my Voyager is the right bike to do it on. Have fun

Ya, Voyager would be a bit out of place there, I attempted to ride up the Dempster hwy to the Arctic circle a couple years ago but turned around because the road was so bad. It broke my fairing mount and blew both shock seals. However, I have read reports of Goldwings and other heavy bikes making it to Inuvik and Deadhorse so it can be done.
Adventure bikes are made for this type of trek, much better suspension and ground clearance. And it's a lot of fun.

Are you in Germany or Florida?

I've been up to Iqualuit (not on the bike) in February 2 years ago. Yuck.

That's a nice bike you got there. I was looking at some until the wife told me she still wanted to go two up. Instantly I went to the local dealer that had a sweet Voyager. I still think it would be nice to have an adventure bike though.
Just waiting for the lottery. An ADV, then a cafe racer, then a vintage Bonneville ..........

Well, I have the Ivanized ECU in the bike now and it idles nice. Unfortunately that's as far as I can go yet. I am like a kid waiting for Christmas, even at work, my mind keeps wandering to that first ride. I hope all this hype doesn't leave me disappointed.
