Need some quick openions
Running Hawk pipe, K&N, & performence plugs. Will I be ok just reseting the ECM by riding over 3k RPM. Planning on getting another ECM and flashing it since mine wont[mad] just dont wanna spend over 130$
 
i think it depends on if you also are running an open airbox or not? I got the impression that the K&N, open box AND pipe would require a remap. It might not hurt if it's only temporary? I'd ask Randy/Bruno to be sure though...
 
Whose Bruno...Im not sure but i think randy said it would be ok just race would be alot better overall...Iam tired of spending and working i just wanna ride but before i start riding alot Race ecm is a must i guess. No air box mod iam working on getting the air intake (When purchased MIA) Just K&N & HAWK pipe and The 7$ Iriduim Harly Plugs...then Mobil-1
 
Bruno is a guy that Randy has been working with on ECM mapping. He's on here as well (he's "dropin61" on here).
 
Got the muffler back and it sounds damn good. I am super happy with it. I'm just wondering what map people are using for 2007 XB12S. Randy didnt have a map for one, but suggested using the race map. Anybody else try using the race map + hawk + K&N?
 
Besides a custom map with datalogging - that should be better than the stock maps. Just be sure to save a copy of you're current EEPROM in case something happens.
 
Had mine on for about a month now. I just had my 1K service done at ADAMEC HD. (this dealer is cool, lots of them own or have owned Buells. Never had any probs.

The service guy asked me "What they hell exhaust did you put on that thing? It's is loud."

He asked a few more questions then wrote down the info I gave him about Hawk Performance. Said he would use it in the future to assist customers with there Buell exhuast options.
 
Chatted with Randy the other day and we talked about him doing options on his pipes for the loudness of them. Loud, med, not so loud. Or something like that. I think that would be a great option because we all have different preferences on how loud we want the bikes.

Click to expand...

The exhaust is loud but not grossly loud like a Jardine. It has a nice deep thump that doesn't really bother me at all. Now all I need is for winter to end so I can enjoy it again.
 
I'm glad everyone likes the kool aid. I was hoping to try and get randy a little more publicity and looks like it working.
 
"kool aid" generally applies to those who believe someone or something is awesome in the face of piles of evidence to the contrary. For instance, the kool aid drinking media reporting on the Messiah Obama.
 
Time for me to endorse him! Just had a nice 20 minute conversation, my muffler and ECM will be in the mail today. Will review muff when I get it back up and running!
 
Is anyone Using one of these pipes on their xb9 and if so what fuel map is working well?
 
Heard from Randy today, Bruno might be back this weekend, but if not this weekend, then definitely the weekend after. At least that is the way I took the conversation.
 
I guess I better hold off sending down the pipe and ECM.
That gives me a little more time to wait for a clear day to get a baseline dyno run. ($60 at Max Speed in K-Ville NC.)
 
Just got back from a short trip to Chattanooga. Took my muffler down and Randy literally took the muffler off his bike for me so I could take it home. Got it put on today and am giddy like a school girl! This is how a buell should sound! Can't say enough about his knowledge and service. Waiting for the ice to melt a little to go give it a test ride (stupid Cleveland) and i'll try to post some sound clips.
