Subject: Thanks for a Great Product !!
I received my TFI-1250ST and with no problems installed unit in a reasonable amount of time (It took me a little longer than 60mins). I tested and tuned the bike per: recomendations and ended up very close to the suggested settings. The bike runs Great. I am very happy with your product... Thanks Brad Murphy Charlotte, NC

I have a 95 BMW R1100gs and I just purchased your product FI-1033. Installation was a breeze and adjusting
the pots according to the directions is almost perfect at the base line. I was hesitant to purchase at first, but I was so sick of the surging that I figured what the hell. Well, I couldn't be happier. The first ride I took was an unbelievable difference in the way the bike rode. I have just put 1000 miles on the bike since the TFI and pulled the plugs to see what they looked like and they were perfect. As for mileage, who cares, the bike is running great and I couldn't care less about losing 2-3 miles per gal. Lets be realistic, Hmmmmmm, surge or lose 2-3 miles per gal and have a smooth running bike.NO BRAINER HERE!!! I love your product and will recommend it to all. Thank you, John Moro

I just purchased and installed the TFI-2052ST for my 2006 Yamaha Stratoliner. I want to say that this unit was very easy to install and adjust. After the installation and a small amount of time to make the adjustments, the power increase was outstanding! The bike also runs smoother and the backfire associated with aftermarket exhaust systems is almost non existent. I run the D&D Slip on muffler and a stock intake. One of the steps in the instructions was not to clear for me so I called the number listed in the instructions. I was connected with Chris in Tech Support. I want to say that Chris was Awesome in helping me to clarify a couple of small issues. Cudos to Dobeck Performace on an Awesome Product and outstanding customer support!!

When I reassembled my R1150RT after a spline lube I could not understand why the engine performance was so awful.
Thanks to Matt and Chris I discovered that I had reassembled the R259 harness incorrectly. There are two possible places where the harness plugs will fit. The correct place, as Matt pointed out, is right at the injector on either side, where 12V is available. Like a bonehead, I made the connection at the airbox. Matt’s advice to “follow the volts” led me quickly to the problem.
My bike is purring again and I am grateful.

I am very impressed.... Your support guys are pros. Matt and George helped me fix my issue that was the result of installation but not caused but the Big Shot. They were courteous, professional and patient. They got to the heart of the issue and assisted me in resolving quickly. Really happy I chose this product. I will recommend it to my fellow Harley Riders.

I wanted to echo some of the testimonials regarding your product for my 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic.
You only produced the tap on version when I bought the unit from you but installation was easy. I put on a Thunder Air Kit and Vance & Hines pipes and it was a pleasant task to fine tune the settings from your initial recommendations and those on your forum to get the bike running perfectly.
I had the same set-up on a '99 1500 Vulcan Classic and it was a messy chore to keep changing jets and determining which ones to change to get the tuning right as they overlapped in some areas of the fuel curve. Your EFI product was much more precise in getting the right adjustments in just a couple of quick rides and a whole log easier to perform. All I had to do was stop a moment, make a fine tuning adjustment and go from there. Three fine tuning adjustments later, it was spot on.
What a great product. Thanks....Ken

I recently requested info regarding setup of my TFI unit for my Raptor 700R
and info on a replacement "access plug" as well. The very next day someone
got back to me with the recommended setting for my equipment setup, and
someone else in your organization sent me the replacement rubber plug
absolutely FREE. You guys have a great product, and I've got three buddies
that WILL invest in one soon (unless they like looking at my butt!) It's
really great to do business with a company that offers a great product at a
good price and backs it up with super service.
Thanks again,
Jeff

After a few tweaks away from the recommended settings, I have acheived ridability nirvana. Box-stock bike, with the exception of a K&N air filter. I did a full set-up prior to install (zero-zero, throttle body balance, re-install CCP, etc.), followed the set-up recommendations to the letter and just finished the first 200 miles.
First off, this bike has been a drivability pig since day one. No matter what amount of tune-effort I put into it, I could never bring this engine to run smoothly at partial throttle. It had the infamous surge to the degree that it was almost unridable, except on the coldest of mornings. Ambient temps over 80F would give it fits and made the bike extremely difficult to ride (I'm being kind here). Area BMW Dealers were and are useless in solving the problem (mine was so useless, they went under in 2 years).
I can't thank the engineers that created this solution enough for the transformation they've made in the character of my BMW. This is the bike BMW should have delivered in 2002. It's a different motorcycle and it runs smoother than I've ever experienced. I'll watch the plugs and tweak a little more, but I've acheived satisfaction immediately upon installation. Ridability is stellar, power delivery is linear up to where the cams come on (and from there it just hauls ass). Idle is smooth, cold start is better; not great, but not worse than prior to install. Throttle response is greatly improved and there's no sign of lean-popping on deceleration.
Thank you Dobeck Performance for a product that changes everything! I should have done this years ago!

Dear Matt in the tech department
Here at Holeshot Performance Products i strive to give my customers a
hand built top shelf exhaust and also tuning to match.
I liked the idea and the simplicity of the TFI tuning box, so i thought
id give one a try on my new 2006 DL-1000 V Strom with my Holeshot
Performance slip-ons installed that i produce.The bike is stock form was
very rough from about 2500 to 4000 RPM and it also got very poor fuel
mileage at about 31 mpg . I was able to dial in this set up on my dyno
using the TFI box and get a near perfect A/F ratio of 13:1 to 13:7 under
steady cruise, light throttle load and full roll on to all the way to
redline. You can see by my before and after dyno charts it makes tons of
torque now a big power gain and its smooth all the way up.Out on the
road it now runs perfect and to top it off, the best part is the bike
picked up the mileage to 39 mpg. I am very please with the results of
TFI tuning box and im sure it will be much simpler for my customers to
set up that the other methods available on the market, and at a lower
cost.Holeshot Performance will now be selling the TFI tuning box for
selected models with my matching tune up.
I will have a new 2006 FZ1 pipe ready soon and im looking forward to the
next TFI tuning session to go with it.
Regards

Installation was a snap. I will be mounting modified DW Holeshots and a K&N
and have Dale's numbers, but I have currently remounted stock exhaust and
air cleaner and need settings for the stock set up. I appreciate DP and your
product, it has served me well with my BMW R11 for years. Thanks

This has to be the best tech. support I've ever experienced. Please keep it up, because I'll tell everyone. I deal with alot of companies in this industry some better than others, and certain ones that get big time because of silly tv shows forget where they came from and how they got there. But I have been impressed with how I've been treated by you from day one. I hope more of my customers use your products so we can have the confidence of your support. Thanks.

Sirs:
I recently purchased a VH Fuelpac and am disappointed in the lack of power band information for the multiple codes. Typically V&H only supplies one set of 18 codes for what ever modification is listed.
I contacted them and told them that I went head to head with the exact same bike ('06 Ultra) manufactured 30 day before mine with the exact same exhaust slip-ons (also V&H) and the exact same air cleaner (stock air box with K&N filter). The only difference was that the other bike had a RevTech DFO unit. In comparison with the DFO, and I was pulled in every gear, in several runs attempts and especially in 5th.
V&H gave me another set of codes to "try" but I can receive no assurance from V&H that their unit is functioning as designed without harm to my machine. The also told me that powerband/adjustment information is proprietary and not for "public release".
I wanted to return the unit but there is no warranty for lack of my satisfaction.

Mark, I wanted to tell of the great support I George Levings provided me.
I have a 2002 X-1 Buell. I was having problems with the bike (turned out to be temperature sensor) and one of the diagnostics I decided to do was to check the TFI (George's suggestion). He checked mine and discovered I had an older model. He sent me the current one and the now the bike screams. Runs terrific. It is a much better product than the first one I had.
George was also instrumental in helping me to calibrate my initial TFI.
Throughout all my dealings with Doebeck, George has been enthusiastic, willing to discuss/answer questions to MY satisfaction (I can be pretty detailed), and possesses superior technical knowledge.
You have a great employee, as you probably already know, but I had to tell you anyway.

Subject: DOBECK PERF. TFI- 2004 YAMAHA R6
I just wanted to comment on your DP Techlusion TFI I bought a few months ago and installed on my '04 Yamaha R6. I installed your product alongside a GYT-R carbon fiber slip on exhaust, high flow BMC air filter & Four Graves velocity stacks. Your product made all the difference in how these upgrades worked together. Installation was easy. At idle ,the exhaust note is music to my ears. On decceleration, the popping sound when adding aftermarket exhausts, were eliminated. Most importantly, throttle response has greatly improved at all ranges. At slower speeds and in traffic the bike is less jerky. When riding in the mid to high rpm range (R6's already have an awesome powerband), the acceleration is smoother and throttle response is awesome. It actually slides me back in the seat, every time I quickly hit the throttle. On numerous occasions I've actually pop the front wheel up upshifting into the higher gears. At slow speeds, the throttle response is just as wicked, nasty even. I found that out the hard way. One day I decided to see how well it would do at a slow speed. I was accelerating up to about 20 mph (rpm was between 5 and 6k) when i decided to cut the throttle and hit it again to see if there would be a delayed response...there was absolute no delay and the throttle response was so quick that the bike stood up! The RPMs barely had a chance to drop as much. I never thought that was possible! The 1st year I had my R6 I had thought about upgrading to an R1 because of some of the typical shortcomings of a smaller bike. But, in conjuction w/the other upgrades, your product has breathed new life into my R6 to where, for the moment, I no longer feel the need or want to upgrade to a "bigger" bike. My buddy who rides an R1 w/exhaust and air filter upgrades and sporting the other more popular controller, notices how quickly I pull away during passes & how I keep pace with him during speed runs. He tried my bike and complimented on the bikes power!compliments like that from someone who rides a bike w/more power and torque carries a lot of weight. TFI works and it rocks! The only downside is...now I need to upgrade my brakes! Shaka!

Hey Mark, great product!
Being a long time Harley rider (since '66) I new the drill for improving the performance on my new R1150R:
Free up the intake, free up the exhaust and rejet the carb. Since there is no carb, I figured well maybe just the first two would be good enough. What a let down. After installing a K&N filter and Two Brothers Cat eliminator exhaust, I had
a popping , wheezing slug that sounded like an anemic Bultaco. THe only gain I could detect was an increase in idle speed to 1500rpm. Disconnecting the O2 sensor helped slightly.
Fortunately, I read about your black box on the R1150R message board and ordered up a 1031. Result: AMAZING!One snort'n rocket. THe anemic Bultaco developed a throaty bark. SHe pulls strongly in 6th gear below 4000rpm for the fist time. THe only SURGE I'm experiencing is my neck surging back when I crack the throttle..all thanks to your black box which I call my virtual jets.

I am sending this Massage to let you know how much help your sevive tech was
to me. I had a problem with my VTX back firing after putting on Vanson Hine
pipes. I called Kirkland where I purchased the TFI, they gave me your phone
number and I asked to speak with a service tech and they put me through to
George. I explained my problem to George with no hesitation, George advised
me to do a few things, try it and call him back. He walked me through step
by step procedures and after three phone calls the problem was solved. I
have to let you know, your service tech George is by far one of the best in
the industry and very polite and customer orientated. I had spoke with
other people about this problem and was told I would have to live with it
because you get that from putting on after market pipes. Again, after
talking to George it was solved in no time, he knew exactly what he was
talking about and I just wanted to take the time to personally say thank you
to you, and to George, for a great product.

Hi and Thank you for designing the TFI.
I have recently added a TFI unit to our autograss race car and it has made a huge difference to the performance to say the least.
I have included a picture of it, (rear over axle engine, rear wheel drive,Suzuki Hayabusa powered class 8 special)
We are half way through our season and Margaret (my better half) is looking forward to the Ladies National Championships with the addition of the TFI.
So Thank you once again for designing this revolutionary unit.

Subject: Techlusion
The Techlusion works (BMW R259)! I returned my then new '95 R1100R (Oilhead) repeatedly back to my original dealer and to one other shop while under BMW's 3-year warranty to cure the lurching, jerking, surging (or as BMW refers to it, hunting) but to no avail. My dealer (Smith & Jones BMW in Missoula, Montana finally told me they couldn't fix it, and advised me to take it to Beaudry Motors in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, saying "maybe they know something we don't know". That's where my Oilhead spent the winter of '97-98. In the spring of 1998, the factory Rep from Washington D.C. was in Coeur d'Alene visiting Beaudry Motors. The Rep rode my bike and pronounced it "just fine". It wasn't! The problems continued even with the expert advice and help of Rob Lentini, who helped me set the throttle position sensor, and perfectly balance the injectors. However, the surging was never cured. I put up with this less-than-acceptable performance for another 7 years. Finally this spring I took the plunge and installed an R259 Techlusion.
What a difference! Instant tune up! I can ride at slow speed around parking lots and rough dirt campground roads with excellent throttle control. I can then increase speed evenly without fear of the engine stumbling or of being jerked off balance. Shame on BMW for not providing such a fix years ago, and even more shame for not fixing the 259 engine before it was ever released to the public. With this gadget installed, I am now a happy BMW rider. Now 75, I hope to look forward to enjoyably riding my Oilhead for at least a few more years before I turn in my key.
This gadget is not technically difficult to install. Routing the wires takes some forethought, and a digital DC voltmeter, though said to be highly recommended, I feel is really a necessary tool.
This is not a paid-for endorsement.
