How does everyone like their ECM from EBR? How are they different from the stock ECMs? Does the EBR ECM still do self diagnostics and throw trouble codes if needed or does it just make it run and forget about the extra stuff? Does it drastically change the driveability? | ||

I'll let others comment on theirs, but the results are pretty much unanimous, everyone (including me) loves it.
They are physically the same internally, they just have different programming. There are significant changes - fuel maps, timing, fan control, idle control, and a bunch of other minor changes.
Yes it still will throw the same trouble codes, but due to programming differences you can do some things like disconnect the O2 sensors without it throwing a code. Code retrieval process is still the same.
That is an understatement, it lets the bike run how they should run, not how the EPA says. | ||

How does everyone like their ECM from EBR? I absolutely love both of mine. They dramatically improved my 1125R and my XB9. I have two regrets about them, though. I regret not purchasing the one for my 1125R sooner, and I regret not purchasing the one for my XB9 sooner. They improved the bikes in a way that words cannot describe - they're THAT good. How are they different from the stock ECMs? They're physically/electrically the same (as far as I can tell), but are programmed with race maps that change basically everything and fuel the engine as it wants to be fueled for best drivability and power, not as the EPA demands it be fueled. Does the EBR ECM still do self diagnostics and throw trouble codes if needed or does it just make it run and forget about the extra stuff? As noted, I think they are OK with disconnected O2 sensors, but they will otherwise let you know if there are problems. Does it drastically change the driveability? Yes. Dramatically. With my 1125R, it felt like it unlocked the secret third cylinder. The bike ran smoother than I had ever experienced on the stock ECU, drivability was much improved, the "dip" in power at 5k RPM for emissions reasons was totally gone and replaced with smooth delivery, the engine runs better at low RPM, the bike runs substantially cooler, and is all around more enjoyable to ride. On the XB9, the engine runs better when cold, runs cooler, runs smoother, and there are no dips and hits in power delivery anymore - there's just smooth power delivered all the way from idle up to redline. Seriously, buy one. You won't regret it. They are THAT GOOD. | ||

Agreed I love my EBR ECM. It REALLY made my 06 XB9S come to life. | ||

I ran a Jardine set up without an EBR ECM for a little, not too impressed. Put an EBR ECM, transformed the bike instantly into a smooth freight train. And it tamed that annoying fan. I had my bike on a dyno with the EBR ECM and the fueling was almost perfect, super linear power delivery. No hiccups, no dead spots. And that is especially good considering the EBR ECM is programmed in Wisconsion altitude and pressure and I run my bike in NYC conditions. | ||

Better than stock! | ||

Does the EBR ECM lower the idle speed? |
