hi guys,
i have an 06 Uly with a remus exhaust, airbox mod etc...which runs nice but feel not half as smooth as they later 09 uly i road a few weeks ago or an xb9s i rode last weekend...as i already have a right air scoop - i dont want to splash out and buy the complete comfort kit, but i am considering getting the latest ECM flash done as per the comfort kit. has anyone who has a remus done this? will it smooths the running out a bit?
i do like the full power my Uly has so will an ECM upgrade loose some of that...
i have scanned through the huge comfort kits threads, but couldn't find the right info...

any advice / experience is welcome...
thx Lars

The reflash is not compatible with an 06, only the 08's and 09's.

+1 Froggy. No reflash for DDFI-II bikes up to 2007, only for 2008 and 2009.

You have a remus, and airbox mod...with a stock ECM? Good lord, find a race ECM. I put one on my '06 with drummer and modded airbox / K&N, and it is MUCH happier now. If you can't find one, send me a PM; we located one for a customer just this weekend.

That is the stock ECM.

If you can obtain ECMspy, use that to tune your bike rather than a Race ECM, as the Race ECM was not intended for your setup.

Check your front engine mount,I've heard reports of that causing vibes.
It looks like your seat may be rubbing your rear ecm connector,could cause a problem in the future.
Some have added a spacer block on the rear ecm bolt.

Is the Rubber block in the picture correct? Mine is mounted on the right hand side or rear ecm bolt.

The spacer block comes stock on the front ecm bolt,maybe yours got moved to the rear bolt Ksc.
I tried putting the stock spacer on the rear bolt but its too tall,my seat wouldn't latch.
Some have cut down a stock spacer.
I put a longer bolt in the rear mount with a nut on it to hold the seat up.

The reason, I'm asking is I've had all sorts of Check Engine, Skip Spark errors especially when the bike is loaded down, (Two Up). The error goes away after I fiddle with the ECM connectors. I'm thinking,I should do what you did and put a longer bolt to keep the seat completely off the ECM?

Ksc- you may want to check to see if the connector part of the ecm is broken away from the body of the ecm.

I just looked at it and the rear connector pulls away from the the ECM when I wiggle it.

Lars - Not to add to the wrenching burden...but you might find the comfort kit a worthwhile mod. I added the kit to my 08 - but DIDNT do the reflash. (nor do I intend to) Still made a significant difference. It runs much cooler and (don't want to anthropomorphisize to much here) the Uly seems 'happier' as a result.
