1st contribution - Are you feeling sluggish from your CL7R??
Greetings all,
Would like to share some tips to get your CL7R back to the "ready to fly" response condition.
I'm not sure if anyone has posted on this before, but here goes:
If you are feeling that your ride seemed to be slow in response to surge when you needed it, it may be due to your usual driving style.
The ECU on stock CL7R is so clever that it will automatically adjust to your driving pattern and style.
Try this trick which I learnt from a Honda guru.
In 5th gear, stay at 3,000rpm for 5km (do not go below 3,000rpm throughout.) This equates to around 80kph.
At the 5km mark, up to 6th and run for another 1-2km.
What this does is kind of trick your ECU into resetting to the original response all Rs should be(to surge and fly on command!!)
I've been doing this for both my first and second CL7R and personally, I do feel the diff. Beautiful part of this, it does not affect your fuel consumption much!!
Feel free to comment and feedback ya??

no idea, but i think if you remove the negative terminal 10-15 min it will be reset leXiaoNick wrote:IS there any fuse to reset the ECU?Teow Yiwei wrote:wa singapore difficult to find a spot to do this unless its during the wee hours leh, why not just take out the battery terminal and wait for ecu to reset totally?

U really wanna fly ah? Ok let me share some secret with u. I heard from some guru 1st gear 8000rpm and hold it there for 2km. Aft that hearsay yr car will feel the 'fly' feeling...

Zzzz
shall try it hope my car can "fly" soon.

If It Ain't Scary, It Ain't Fast Enough..
remove for 30seconds, is sufficient to reset. Official Recommendation from Honda is 3mins. However, this will render most other sub-system, like audio, power windows and remote control to go "astray" (at times).Teow Yiwei wrote:

The fuse to reset DTC of the ECU, is fuse no. 8 in under-hood relay box. This powers the PGM-FI main relay. If that "remove" the hearsay additional mapping parameter, I leave it up to whoever to experience it. As the ECU pull power from multiple source for various reason, a few fuses are involved.
Pls dont ask me for wkshop, as I know none...I only know it is safer and faster to fix cars on my own.

This will just wipe out all the existing fuel maps (driving patterns) and will load with a fuel rich map right?cl7teckie wrote:remove for 30seconds, is sufficient to reset.

Really?? than I got to Vtec for bloodly 2KM. end up whole car really being RESET. over heat n burn up....-=[Yamaha R1]=- wrote:U really wanna fly ah? Ok let me share some secret with u.

and then the ecu will re-learn your driving style from scratch at all rpm lo. because if you simply just drive your car at 3k rpm for 5km, doesnt the ecu just learn your driving pattern at 3k rpm? how about other rpm? correct me if i am wrong thoughXiaoNick wrote:This will just wipe out all the existing fuel maps (driving patterns) and will load with a fuel rich map right?cl7teckie wrote:remove for 30seconds, is sufficient to reset.

Re: 1st contribution - Are you feeling sluggish from your CL
So after 5km, shift gear to 6th gear and hold at 3000rpm and travel for another 1-2km. Is tt rite?Tcool wrote:Greetings all,

Anyone tried it yet?
Learning is a journey. There's never an end to it.

The ECU have a few maps loaded by default. It also learns the driving style from the user after a while.Teow Yiwei wrote:and then the ecu will re-learn your driving style from scratch at all rpm lo. because if you simply just drive your car at 3k rpm for 5km, doesnt the ecu just learn your driving pattern at 3k rpm? how about other rpm? correct me if i am wrong thoughXiaoNick wrote:This will just wipe out all the existing fuel maps (driving patterns) and will load with a fuel rich map right?cl7teckie wrote: remove for 30seconds, is sufficient to reset.

Resetting the ECU will usually run a fuel rich map by default, which the driver will feel "more powerful" for a while.
Driving 3krpm for 5km, the ECU will relearn your driving style after a while. I don't know is for 5km or how many km. This you got to ask Honda engineers?
If you are aggressive driver, the ECU will load with a more fuel rich map to suit your driving style.
If you are a slow driver, the ECU will also load a more fuel efficient map for you.
