Good points E11even-Hunnit. I'm with Ferret and pdedse: I've had the CB1100 somewhere near the limiter maybe once and I'm in no hurry to do it again. But, it's your bike; your call. pdedse is right that it's there to meet Japanese legal requirements. I've no idea why it is not removed for export.
I wasn't having a go earlier. I should have been clearer that part of my thinking was that I'm not sure how many CB1100 ECUs Don Guhl gets to reflash every year. There've been a handful on the forum who've had it done, but I'd be surprised if the number was 20. So he may not have got his dough back, although, given he probably reflashes lots of other bikes' ECUs, the cost of the CB research would have been marginal.
Lord Popgun has a dooverlacky from Healtech that he can plug in and read stuff, but I don't know how much actual interaction he can have with the ECU. I'd be mildly interested in seeing if I could crack it, but I wouldn't know where to start. Perhaps somewhere in the bowels of the interwebs there's some bit of software that allows you to open up ECUs.
