Hey guys I have a 09 R 16k miles with K&N fmf slip on and EBR specific race ECM. Lately I noticed some serious back fire. She runs awesome! but Im concerned that my fueling might be lean. How would I go about getting a cable and software to make some minor adjustments? Also how much cash am I getting into!? Thanks in advance!

Start with the cable first.... Google xoptininside - You can pick up a whole cable/plug already built. You can also build one yourself by getting a USB to Serial TTL 5V wire end cable and then soldering on the appropriate plug. Off hand I think it was 25-30 bucks for parts to make my own. The USB to Serial cable also needs a driver file loaded on your PC - It can be a PITA to get it loaded properly.

Software... Multiple answers for this.
- Tuner Pro RT (free)is a generic tool used by all kinds of auto and bike tuners by use of definition files to translate between the software and the native ECM language.
OR
- ECMSpy (small fee) Written specifically for Buell ECMs and much more self contained.

- Plugins for Tuner Pro - you will need these from xopti's site in order to log and read/write to the ECM. Alternately you can use ECM Read for Mono (free from the ECMSpy website) to read/write to the ECM but does require that you load the Mono runtime files first.

- Bin Def and Log Defs for Tuner Pro. Get these from the ECMSpy website and/or xopti's website. As mentioned above, these are needed to "translate" the binary data from the ECM so that Tuner Pro can display them as human readable data. I don't use ECMSPy so I'm not sure if it also uses the Bin Def and Log Def files or if it's translation happens internally.

ECMSPY for mono,works great,simple to use. will log direct ready for megalogviewer.

Hardest bit is setting up cable on your laptop.

£50 donation to papworth hospital for your ecm definition -$75?-
Great back up from Gunter too.
