Title: Should I upgrade to DP ECU?
Post by: CDawg on February 18, 2010, 01:22:17 PM
My thinking: $400 is a great deal...but bike's running fine as is...there's also rumors of the pricing becoming higher as Spring gets closer.

I would say get it, or get the re-flash if you don't plan to use your stock ECU ever again.  Regardless, boobies.

If it's for a 696 & it's 400 & you don't buy it let me know & I'll prolly buy it.
Thanks

And the Boobies have it!

I did the reflash for $250, not like I'm ever going back to stock.

Microtec or Nemesis. Something that is fully tunable, without a PC

If you get a DP ECU and a PCIII, you might as well buy those $1000 ECUs. they are more feature rich, and you dont spend that much more.

But I hear the reflash is all good. Ive been thinking about it. i think it was desmoporche who has em for $250?

if its only $250 id just get the DP ECU.

Did you have to swap ecu cores? or was it just a straight buy? any issues? I got an S2R1000.

It did hit 30 degrees this week but the roads are crap and it's snowing right now in fact. Believe me, it's killing me not to get it out.  [bang]

He-Man- The $250 is with sending in your stocker.

I ride the SM in the winter, dirt bikes are made to throw down. The Duck, no way.
