Anyone 08-09 using IDS ECU?

[WayneBrettzky]

My tune just isn't cutting it. Got rid of some of the decel pop, and smoothed the rev bandwith a little, but still feels like it's lacking power.

Looking to get an IDS ECU, as it's a simple plug and play for my 09. Right now I have a Hawk exhaust, but can switch to the Buell race pipe if I need to. Anyone using this ECU? With Hawk pipe?

IDS doesn't sell an ECU for the Hawk. They have an ECU for the race pipe though. I'm using a IDS ECU with a Jardine, I like the tune.

Or, get a Xoptiinside.com tune and put it on your stock ecm.

I just bought one from www.idspd.com for my 09 with a Hawk muffler, they list the same ECM for the Hawk/Drummer/Special Ops exhaust (all modified stock pipes). It was $300 plus shipping, Talked to Tim, he was very helpful. I just installed it the other day but didn't get a chance to go out for a good ride, busy weekend! Ill post the results of the change later this week.

O, that's unusual that a Special O.P.S. exhaust would have the same tune as a Drummer and a Hawk. Doesn't seem like it would work since a Special O.P.S. exhaust retains the exhaust valve servo and the Hawk and Drummer do not. I wonder why IDS bothers to list separate ECUs for Special O.P.S and Drummer?

 

[buell248]

They list a different one for the drummer SS, my hawk exhaust still has exhaust valve hooked up.

 

[GregoXB]

Really? They list separate ECUs for Drummer, Drummer SS, D&D, Special O.P.S., Jardine, stock muffler catted, stock muffler non-catted, P&A, Force, and Pro-Series. Which one fits the Hawk best?

Hmmm, look at the 08-09 Firebolt ECMs, same ECM for the Drummer/Hawk/Special Ops, Like I said, call Tim at IDS.

 

[GregoXB]

I guess you need to know what's inside of your exhaust and how it's been modified.

 

[buell248]

Yes, I still have motor hooked up on top of air box and the cable it still hooked up to the top of the muffler...whats inside I dont know... Maybe Ill give Randy a call, Im sure he can explain.

 

[GregoXB]

I wonder if Randy can chop up a muffler like Odie? Essentially make a Hawk version of the Special O.P.S.? That would be cool because Odie is harder to reach than the president.

Clear your PM box!

Hawk Muffler EEPROM

Hawk Muffler.... To many versions to do a single map. This one is a custom tune based from a race ecm datafile. Completed with datalogs from Tunerpro RT. It will be a 100% match on fuel. you may get a little popping back due to exhaust revision wave. that caant be tuned out. its a mechanical issue from the muffler. All you can do it buy a better muffler.

 

[WayneBrettzky]

Done, sorry... guess I can cut the cord on 3 year old messages about tank bags and handguards.

I have 2 ecms from ids and both work perfect. When I talked to Tim he said the ops, hawk and standard drummer where so close in tune that they use the same tune for them all with no problems.

You can also order a Race ECM through liquid assets as well.

 

[Darx]

Anyone else have opinions? I'm thinking about picking one up for 09 xb9sx

 

[WayneBrettzky]

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger, but can't decide if I should go with the Hawk or Buell Race option. I think I'll miss the sound of the Hawk, but wondering if there would be an increase in performance using the Race Pipe.... Or if there wouldn't even be a difference.

Ponder these questions not; ponder lineage of Rae instead, you must.
