I've decided to buy a KEDA RT-3 and the ECM to match it. My question is, will the bike be tuned too rich if I run the EBR ECM with the stock exhaust if I swap it out for road trips? It sounds like a stupid question, but I do enjoy the quiet every once in a while. Do I need to buy two EBR ECM's (or a tunable one) or can I run the EBR ECM on the stock exhaust without damaging the engine? |

It will run somewhat rich with the stock exhaust, but it will run. I know I looked at the programming to compare at one time and at around 7k rpm, mine calls for a fair bit more fuel than stock did. If you're just cruising, it wasn't all that bad from what I recall. |

While not ideal, it will be fine with the stock exhaust. |

If I remember correctly EBR will reflash the ECM for $50.00. |

The price on re-flashing is higher now I think. |

I guess the moral of the story is if I swap back to the stock exhaust, swap to the stock ECM also or it will run too rich to ride normally. |

No, it will run better with the Race ECM than the stock ECM. (Message edited by froggy on January 21, 2015) |

"No, it will run better with the Race ECM than the stock ECM." It will not be too rich with the stock exhaust installed and a race ecm tuned for the KEDA RT3? |

It will certainly be richer at some RPM points, but "too rich" is up for debate, as long as it isnt prolonged use. I believe what he meant was with the overall tuning improvements made with ANY of the race ECMs it will run better than with the stock unit. |
