Can anybody help me???
I have an 03 xb9r with a force streetfighter exhaust system. It made my bike run a little ruff I then installed a dobeck performance TFI and it runs a bit better but not totaly smooth. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Thats because the thread is about Direct Link. The TFI is next to useless when you compare it to what Direct Link can do. It's a much better solution.

Let me explain that a little better. You have made a major modification with that Force pipe. Your air pump (engine) can pump alot more air now. The TFI is a bandaid fix for that situation. For minor modifications, like tweaking a race kit, or other similar aftermarket pipe the TFI is fine. But for what you have done you should get the Direct Link, get your ECM tuned, and make sure its right. If its not and the bike is still running way too lean, eventually you will grenade your motor. Do the safe thing, spend the money, and make sure your bike is right.

Sorry about that link I posted, you really have to dig down into it to see what I am talking about. But there is a TON of good information in there, I suggest reading the whole thing, you will understand better what I am talking about.
