Now granted i dont know bikes as well as cars so i have to ask, cant the stock ecm be flashed, or retuned? I assume dealers can do it, so couldent someone else buy the needed equipment, then you wouldnt need the pc3.

my mechanic went into the ecu and changed the amount of gas flow or sumthing,he said itdoes the same thing as a pc3 without paying $300 or so. maybe not as detailed or sumthing. i dont know. i do have a full hindle exhaust and i thought about getting a motor built but really cant throw that much cash into it rite now. tryin to save 4 a good ole vacation to jamaica. turbo does add a lot of power, but from what i heard its easy to blow a bike motor up with one. dont know if i want to take that chance.

I've never heard of a program to help you tune the ECM, so I wouldn't even know where you'd start...

As far as a turbo, we already have a pretty high compression ratio. I would think you'd need to run race gas and/or run it at very little boost to have the motor last more than 5k miles...

RE: MORE SPEED!! what should i do?
Heres the deal with the PC3 vs. tuning the ECM.
Would you rather use a hammer to drive a nail through some wood or your forehead?
Bottom line, pick up a PC3 for a buck fifty and a custom tune for maybe $300, or blah blah with the ECM and get half as good a tune if your lucky and risk frying a $125 part for some ****ty performance gains.
up to you.
