Thought I'd start a thread on the ECM I just put in. IDS for my new Barkers exhaust. Works awesome, mind you it was a short little backroad blast. Initial impressions are:
Launches much better (seems easier, wheel stays down as power comes on smoother) and the top end feels way stronger- not comparing the two but I had a panigale 1199 and it feels almost as quick! The exhaust sounds mint; I heard it was loud but no way! At idle it is much louder than stock but while riding it's just a nice low note, not hard on the ears at all...
The only thing I don't like with the ECM is that in first when decelerating, the bike doesn't slow down, I have to pull in the clutch and brake way sooner; tried tps reset twice. When you pull the clutch in it drops to idle straight away...
I love it though; man it feels way quicker!!

The Idle Air Control causes the dieseling you described. There is a setting for that. I have the same and hate it.

isn't engine braking one of the parameters that can be set with TunePro RT?

I would call IDS and ask if this parameter was activated.

Kevigou, you're talking about the reduced engine braking. It's abysmally terrible, in my opinion. Like, so bad I would sell the bike because of it. Apparently some people like their bikes to not slow down when they close the throttle--hell if I know why.

If you can't get IDS to sort it out for you, I'll send you the map from my EBR ECM with the Barker tune in it, which absolutely doesn't have any reduced engine braking nonsense.

I know it's possible to have good engine braking with this bike. I have an EBR ECM, ride in a "sporting" manner, and the braking is huge when I roll off the throttle.

Guys,they are race ECMs. They are programmed to have a high idle speed when the clutch is not engaged. Heavy engine braking is a no go on the track. The ECM can be programmed to restore idle speed to increase engine braking.

It's been a few years since I've done track days (my wife said no more after the last time I got hurt) but I don't think it's fair to say that engine braking is a "no go" on the track. At most, it's a matter of personal preference.

To be blunt, I feel like if a rider can properly match revs on downshifts (or has a bike with a slipper clutch), then engine braking is not a detriment on the track.
