Muffler, K&N, ECM all at once

[Timan]

New to me '09 CR and need some advice. I want to change the muffler; which from what I read means a new ecm from Buell. From what I read my interpretation is; I need to designate which muffler and whether I am changing the air cleaner to K&N. I sure don't want to buy a ecm just for the muffler and then find out I should have changed to a K&N. Should I just bite the bullet and do it all at once, or does the K&N not provide improvement? Sorry if my question is not clear, but hopefully you get the idea.

i would do a search i have just the muffler now (barkers) and am looking to do the ecm soon. but from what i remember reading is there is no need for a K&N based on something Erik was saying. i could be wrong so dont take this as gospel.

If you are looking around for mufflers let me help you...d_adams from our forum makes solid, high performane, great sounding, and good looking exhausts for a reasonable price..check his site out.

I have had one now for the past 4k miles and I can't even count the compliments I get on it. And on top of that, the performace is outstanding. EBR has a map for the RT-3, highly recommened.

For the K&N i also read somewhere once that Erik says the stock paper filter is better on the 1125 but I have no idea where I heard that

I did all three at once (K&N, Jardine pipe, EBR ECM) and can't think of a good reason to do the three in stages.

Originally if you were buying a buell the "race kit" was the pipe, ecm, and k&n. Although you're not going to feel any increase in power, the air/fuel ratios are adjusted for the pipe and k&n. I would recommend doing all three at once.

Best to do it all at the same time.

Most 1125's don't run all the well from the factory, now your gonna lean it more with the free'r flowing exhaust...I wouldn't.
