Hey guys,
New to this forum and new to Buells; just bought an 09 XB12Ss a few weeks ago. Grew up on dirt bikes and Harleys, so Buells are a sweet hybrid.
As of right now, it's stock except for a Drummer exhaust and a slightly modified airbox. The guy I bought it from was the 2nd owner and knew nothing about it. He thought the Drummer was stock. So I bought this in kind of a "blind" state. It still has the stock ECM and airfilter. All I've done so far are the headlamp and breather mods and TPS reset. Plan on errecting my own airbox delete kit once I install the EBR ECM which will arrive Tuesday
I've read mix-matched info about the preprogrammed race ecm. The main complaint seems to be the high idle at cold start. I live in Lubbock, Tx and the nearest Buell dealer is 5 hours a way in Dallas. What kind of tuning will "possibly" need to be done once the race ecm is installed. I was under the impression(at 1st) that it was simply a plug in and go setup, but further research has me thinking otherwise.
Any input/advice would be much appreciated!
