Hey I fitted a micron exhaust system to my XB12SS last year. Great sound and power but it pops like crazy on overrun/deceleration. Micron say it sounds like it is too lean at the bottom and that American Sport Bike have an FI system that would sort it. Anybody got advice or ideas?

Yes! I would get the American Sport Bike FI system that sorts it ;)

You can't go wrong with Al!

And that gives me even more respect for Micron. Somebody from Micron showed up on BadWeb, got a load or grief from some of us regulars, but kept a great attitude and ended up turning out a *great* exhaust system.

Al spent a LOT of time taking that base system and getting maps that get the most out of it. I don't know what he charges, but it's worth it.

I got all that from Al. I hate to talk about how great he and his company where with all that. (he might be listening)

Anyway on my Uly, I bought the full Micron Serpent System. I already had a Race Ecm laying around, So I just sent it off to Al and he put a custom Map on there for me and saved my old map on a disk for me.
I already had the software and cable for the ecm. Al charged me $99 for the key (that's what everyone has to pay). Every ECM has to have its own unique key and he has to buy one to Put a map on your ECM or one you buy from him. I think he charged me less than that to put the map on my ECM. Considering the time it takes, I would have paid anyone that much for their time. He was very prompt and helpful.

So All I had to do was plop in the Race ECM and do a TPC reset and I was off to wheelie heaven.

thanks bearly. As i live in New Zealand it is a longer process to send over my Ecm. i may have to buy the key, the software and the servo emulator and do it here. I know a couple of tech savvy Buell owners so that could work. Hey did you update the filter and airbox as well?
