It monitors crankshaft acceleration constantly. When you crank it, it looks at it about 50 or 60 times a second. Makes adjustment, reads it again, makes adjustment, reads it again, repeat.
You know what, I'm glad this came up again. Has anyone else, running the PowrPro experienced difficult hot-engine starts? My bike will start up and run just fine when cold but after a long, hot trip and on rare occasion of course, sometimes she is a little difficult to start up. I find myself having to give 'er a little throttle before she'll level off at idle.
I respect that fact that you want to know how it works in detail but damn! lol Good questions. It's called technology and they put that technology into this fine little product of the Cobra Power Pro. It works and I'm happy mine does too.
You guys having problems with the hot starts; I would first check to see if your power pro had the adjustment pot inside the cover. It sounds as if your running on the very lean side of things and the hot no start could be a symptom of that lean condition. So if you have a pot you can adjust I would recommend turning it up a little. Cobra started installing that adjustment pot after a few users were having problems to help solve the issues in the cruise idle (lean) range.

I'll have to check mine and see. I wasn't aware that the PowerPro had the ability to be adjusted. When I installed it, once it was all connected, I just stuck it down next to the battery and main fuse box in that open area that looked like it was designed for it. Never even took the protective plastic off of it. Thanks for the info! :bigthumbsup:
Steevo, the dial (or pot) is directly underneath the upper plastic cover. You will have to gently remove the cover but be careful or you could break the plastic clips. :bigthumbsup: I'll give this a shot next chance I get to adjust it. Anyone have a recommendation as to the amount of "turn" needed or is this sorta a "touch and go" thing? Thanks.
Mine too. When cold it fires just as soon as it cranks, when hot I have to remember to not let off the starter too soon or I have to crank it again. It took me a while to figure that out, just hold the button down until it actually fires.
