William, download ECMSpy from off of the internet then buy a ECMSpy cable off of ebay, hook it up and read the codes and then you'll know what to do from there.

What exactly has been done to the bike that you know of? Just reading your post and profile it sounds as though you might have opened up the air and exhaust and are using the factory ECM. If that's the case then you are probably running pretty lean and popping and cracking. Depending on how you want to run it I'd either go back all stock; air cleaner, muffler and ECM. If you want a little more umph get a K&N, aftermarket exhaust of your choice and a race ECM.

Also, go to the Stormfronts section and look to see who's in your area. Everyone on here will be more than accommodating to help you get it worked out. Good luck.
