[QUOTE="dtyo, post: 250909, member: 2860"] So I think Smitty's work and my experience during my recent trip help reduce the likelyhood that the problem is related to the electical portion of the installation. I was riding two-up yesterday and the AVCC failed to hold much more often than solo - particularly if climbing any kind of rise - associating this to an increased load w/ more throtttle opening, lower vacuum, more throttle pull. I know Ross stated that the vacuum level stays fairly constant on his installation but there may still be some subtle differences to the quality of the vacuum supplied to the AVCC. I'm still not convinced that the AVCC itself may not be at fault, even though Ross has tried 2 units with similar results - maybe there is a batch related issue. If I hadn't done the exact same installation on my buddies bike, who has not had any problems, I'd be thinking that there was a problem with the size of the vacuum accumulator or something similar related to the capacity (volume) of vacuum being delivered to the AVCC. I know Ross doesn't think our AVCC problems are the same, and that my be true, but maybe they are just varying degrees of the same root issue. If we all keep at it, I'm sure we'll come up with a solution. Dan [/QUOTE]
