where is that?
wow, HDs and sportbikes, that is freaky.
is that a BMW in the back?

so, over the winter I added a K&N filter, Jardine pipe and EBR race ecm (they only had ONE part number to choose from) to my bike. Buell did not have a race ecm available for the 08+ Buells until HD canned them last fall and Erik started his own company. I ordered one as soon as I saw it on their site. IMO, my bike has not run properly since the filter/exhaust/ecm install. AND, I never really liked the Jardine... even after the re-pack. So, I had the Magnapack muffler custom made. Still doesn't run right.

I get on EBR website the other day and I see they now have a few different calibrations for a few different pipes for the XBs. So, I send them an email explaining my situation and they tell me to mail my ECM back to them and they'll load the latest Jardine / straight-through exhaust tune onto it for NO charge and get it back to me in 1-2 business days.

They also went into great detail about average fuel values and blah blah blah and they got it all sorted out with the new calibration.

I was sure they were going to ask for some benjamins for the re-burn. I am pleasantly surprised.

I actually spoke to Erik Buell when i called them, it was kind of crazy when he first i actually said your the real Erik buell and i sorta laughed and said sorry, but he went into great detail on the race ecm for my bike and what it does and i was overwhelmed with all the info he gave me.. Glad they are getting it worked out for ya.. Mine didnt run at all when i put mine on, but he said that was going to happen.. Took it to highland and did a tps reset and it runs like a champe..

Me and the white/red cbr 929 went at it today on a few roads and i was very pleased that my bike stayed with him the whole time

sweet! remember torque is real. hp is a make believe calculation of torque at a certain rpm. unless you're Nicky Hayden, you're not going to be able to keep that I4 where it needs to be to make that phenomenal hp on the street.

DDMI and BISH... squeal all you want.

Scott (and anybody else) if I get this ECM back next week and it runs right, we should hook up over the holiday weekend.

**scott5** · 05-21-2010, 10:31 PM

Alright, so i was pulling out of a drive real slow and made a right hand turn down a steeeeeep hill and dropped the R6

My question is, what product do i use to get the scratches out, if there is one. Also, is there touch up paint for bikes just like cars? They're not bad but enough to piss miss off every time i look at it.

I'll take some for sure tomorrow. I've managed to put 240 miles on while working 10 hours every day. That doesn't leave a lot of pic time haha So far it's stock with a broken footpeg

It's getting a bunch of visual stuff and then a pipe.
