What does it do?It modifies throttle position to modify engine brake.

Rider side:Two buttons (monostable)+(plus) and–(minus).

It can be set as+(plus) = more engine brake or as+(plus) = more throttle (less engine brake). This last solution is not recommended,+(plus) as+EB is easier for riders to use.

Dash: It’s possible to show on dash the trimmer using the channel TRIMMER_EB.

In the image below the channelTRIMMER_EBis shown in the excel of the CAN protocol that can be found in theUSERfolder.

Settings on MECAL: 

1. Button choice:In Rider Setting:Buttons Summarizing

If the number of buttons is not enough, it is possible to assign several functions to a single button. The only variable is the time the contact is closed or button is pressed. The trimmer+(plus) could share, for example, the same button ofzero suspension front. It’s important to give a longzero press time, (Calibrations, Suspensions) to avoid function overlap (3000 msec).

       2. Setting:

2.1 :Input the desired number of breakpoints. A common setting is from -3 to +3. Double click on axis and useinsorcanckeyboard keys to add or remove a breakpoint.

2.2 :Steps can be based on gain, offset or both

1. Gain, as in the image shown above, it’s a multiplier. Step 1 of the above image shows 0.900 as a value. This means that all values in theEngine Brake TPStable will be multiplied by 0.9, therefore reducing throttle proportionally. In other words the throttle will be at 90% of the value found in theEngine Brake TPStable. Step 2 of the above example has value 0.8, step 3 0.7 and so on reducing throttle and raising engine brake. If a torque based method is used, gain is preferable to offset to keep proportionality and avoid saturation.
2. Offsetadds a value to all theEngine Brake TPStable. Please remember that offsets may flatten the table through saturation easily. The rider could easily reach min tps limit or max tps limit (25%) in an area of the table. Example: steps are 2% tps, and at medium-low rpm of theEngine Brake TPStable values of throttle are all around 2%. The rider, pressing once the+button, will reach tps min saturation in the mid-low rpm area.
3. Gain + Offset, seldom used.
