I am one of the fortunate, or unfortunate (depending on your perspective) owners of a crappy running 08. Since I have an 07 build date I can remap my bike using ECMspy. So here is my question... should I get the dealer to reflash my bike in hopes that it improves the lousy gas mileage, removes the low speed surging and off idle stumbles, or should I work on a remap by myself and tune it with ECMspy? I hear that it if I reflash I lose the ability to ECMspy it. But if I use ECMspy I invalidate my warranty and could mess up the bike. Any thoughts or experience with this? Any tuning gurus in the house who can chime in? |

If you have to ask, go for a reflash. Regards, Gunter |

Reflash, I have a June 08 build date on my 08, I got reflashed at the 5k service. Alot of the stumbling issues seem to go away once the bike is warm. Gas mileage is still crappy though. |

part 2 of an earlier question-Whats the diff between a reflash and a remap? are they the same? My 08 runs good, but when you rev it from idle it chokes and backfires. Also gas milage not so hot. |

A reflash is when you bring your bike to the dealer, they update the whole EEPROM. the remap is when you have your fuel maps changed by American Sport Bike or some other tuning service. |

my last conversation with American Sport Bike, he had not been able to crack the 08 code... its been a couple of months, maybe things have changed.. |
