Looking to get my hands on the race map for a 99 x1. I would like to flash my stock ecm with an ecmspy cable to fatten the mix a bit.... ive got a custom intake and custom exhaust, and now the bike is running lean as heck.

Is it possible to just flash an xb12 race map instead? or is that a bad Idea....if i'm not mistaken, i believe the earlier model xb12 bikes are ddfi and not ddfi2 right?

Thanks guys!

Don't use the XB map. I have the X1 map. If you would like to PM your email address, I will send them to you.

edit: pur pony to the rescue!
 
Thanks for the link to Pur Pony! Can anyone enlighten me on exactly how to flash my 99 stock ecm when the ecmspy cable comes in? Also, i heard you can brick your bike if you don't flash properly... any info on that?

Thank again guys!
 
Here is my step-by-step, it might help.

If the firmware version is the same, you should be able to burn the file to your ECM, but if you don't trust the file, you can create a "Hybrid" EPROM, using the fuel and timing maps from the race file.

Here is how I did it, without all of the "cut and paste":

It is important to remember that eproms are .txt files and maps (which are a portion of the date in an eprom) are .msq files. Never try to directly edit these files unless you know exactly what you are doing.

First and foremost, connect to the bike, fetch your stock eprom and save it in a safe place. It will be a .txt file.

Now, away from the bike, create a new folder and copy your stock eprom and the race eprom to the new folder. This way you lessen the risk of destroying the original data. This new folder will be your working directory. All of the file operations in the next steps should be done from this directory.

Next, open the race eprom in ecm spy (File > Load EEPROM...) *it will be a .txt file*
Save the maps in your working directory (File > Save Map...) *you will create a .msq file*
Now, open your stock eprom (File > Load EEPROM...) *it will be a .txt file*
Next, load the race maps into your stock eprom (File > Load Map...) *it will be a .msq file*
Now, save your newly created hybrid eprom with a name you will remember (File > Save EEPROM...) *you will create a .txt file*

I found the following steps necessary, though others may not.
Close ECM Spy.
Now, open two copies of ECM Spy and open the race eprom in one and your newly created custom eprom in the other.
Go to the 'Maps' tab and compare the column headers (RPM values) in your custom eprom with those of the race map. Make sure that the values in your custom map match those of the race map. If they do not, right-click on the cell in your custom eprom, choose 'edit' and change the value to that of the race map, then re-save your custom eprom. Now, the maps in your custom eprom should match those in the race eprom.

To be on the safe side, you could now open your custom eprom along side the stock eprom and make sure that all of the data in the other tabs match.

Now, burn your custom eprom to the bike, reset AFV and TPS, and go for a ride.
 
Also, I try to download from pur pony's website link above, but the file opens in another webpage, I can't actually download the .txt or .msq files. No left click, or save as option given...

Anyone else experience this? Or have the files they can send?
 
The Set AFV button is directly beneath the Reset TPS button. Set it to 100%.

Hmmmm.... Don't remember seeing it there, will definitely take another look. I just downloaded the program last week, maybe it's a new version?

Regardless, thanks so much for the files!
 
I have a 2000 X1 and wanted to get a new air intake. The bike already has a Vance and Hines exhaust- will this cause the same lean running issues that youre having, DS? Is messing with the mapping via ECM Spy the only way to solve this issue? Total motorcycle newb here. Muscle cars are my thing, just had a new PROM burned for my trans am when i did the headers, air intake etc haha
