I'm leaving my bike stock as far as pipes air filter blinkers seat etc. I worked for Nissan for 20 years and I know the restrictions of a motor. Which is worse to be restricted! I know that a ECM can work in milli seconds! A carb could never be adjusted to throttle position as good as EFI system. It just stands to reason that EFI is so much better in everyway than carb and points etc. But when the EPA says this bike or car has to meet this standard it kills what the motor can do. So all I did was have my ECM flashed to run like the motor should run with out restrictions! Faster better response not a matter of running 140 mph but just the pure reason is to let the bike run as it should! Same as a cell phone they have them so under powered with the antenna that you drop calls. Lots of over seas phones when they make it to the USA they keep full signal due to no fed regulations
Yeah, modern tech is amazing compared to what we did back then. I must admit, the more I think about it, getting "flashed" might be in my future, not for the top end, heck, I've only hit the speed limiter on mine twice. But for the overall better tuning, it's such a simple mod, and I don't anticipate any affect upon the reliability of this motor, it is a very strong, well built, mill. Richer fuel mixtures would probably help it to run a little cooler, wouldn't it? What do you think?
BTW, what part of Mississippi are you from? I'm originally from Central Louisiana, used to get through there pretty regularly.
