After installing the Erik Buell Racing ECM I did notice easier starting and it was just slightly better at slow speed cruising but other than that it really wasn't that much better than my slightly tweeked stock ecm w/ecmspy enhancement. While reading another post here I saw where someones vacuum port cap was missing and since mine is still a little lean I thought I would make sure mine was there before I checked my intake seals for leaks. I pulled the air box off and it was there so no problem. On reassembly I thought I would check my exhaust valve actuator while I was there. It is my third one only this one has the metal gears. I did the cycle test and it didn't move at all. Didn't even make noise. I got the book out and made sure I was doing the test right and I was. I hooked up my lap top and did an EVA diagnostic and nothing happened. Well I seemed to remember where you could turn your EVA off so I started searching and finally found it. Mine was turned off. When I bought the ecm I put a note that said I was running the EVA so now I'm wondering since it was not on if I have one designed for a Drummer etc. I could just turn it back off and wire my exhaust valve open. I do like the sound! Anyway, I took a quick test ride and got to a straight and went WOT and boy howdy did that wake it up!! That's more like it!  I just thought I'd pass that along for anybody experiencing the same issue after installation. On another note, before my test ride I thought I'd check my tire pressures since this is my commuter machine and here lately it hasn't been handling very well. Well the rear was 35 so just 3 psi off, but the front was 26!! That's ten psi off! Well I filled them up and it's truly amazing the difference. When you ride nearly every day you just don't notice things like that because they happen so gradually until it reaches a point that says, hey dummy, this ain't right!! One more thing, when I turned on the EVA there was a switch to turn on the "white wire". Mine is turned off and I don't know what that is. I left it alone but would like to know if I need it on or not. Anybody know what that is? Froggy? | ||

White wire does not apply to our bikes, so do not worry. Its an emissions related control on Euro XB9's. | ||

Thanks Froggy, somehow I knew you would know that! |
