The first MOD purchase you should make for your bike is a service manual, get it, read it, sleep with it (after you take it out to dinner of course) and make it your best friend. Then start making your mods. In all seriousness though, make sure you get one, changing out your whole header system isn't that hard, and you'll feel better with the manual by your side (providing you did take it to dinner) |

As I understand it there is no software available yet for tweeking 08 fuel maps and the jury is still out on whether the 08 ecm can adequately compensate for a pipe or pipe/air filter change without re-mapping. |

I am having extreme difficulty trying to figure out the fuel mapping/ecm upgrades I will have to do for my 08 XB12Scg to mate up with a K&N air filter, open air box conversion, and a D&D muffler? |

BTW, I checked with DYNOJET research and FUELPAKFI.com and neither offer any ecm upgrades for any Buells! ANY IDEAS or KNOWLEDGE is gladly accepted... |

Honorfirst, I hear ya. I'm in the same boat with my '08 XB12Ss. I just installed a Micron exhaust system on mine and besides the tuning and driveability issues that will result, the muffler doesn't even fit the bike properly. I downloaded ECMSpy, got a cable setup, and have successfully pulled data from the ECM before. When the bike was stock, the tune that I pulled was fully legible. I'm not sure if you've got the reflash from the dealership or not, but I was seeing horrendous fuel mileage so I asked them to hook the bike up to the digital tech, which reflashed it. The tune is illegible now. I emailed the ECMSpy folks about it... and unfortunately I got the following response recently: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/372964.html?1215116092 |

BTW, I got the Micron system to fit my bike by fabricating some spacers and tinkering with the setup. Works like a charm now. |
