Well, I searched until my eyes bled but I cannot seem to find the exact answer for my problems; well, my bike's problems. I have a 2004 800ie with nothing fancy other than a set of DP Conti replicas. Prior to those pipes, I had the TPS, trim, etc. fiddled with when the bike had cored stock cans but the mechanic said that he could not get rid of the mid RPM hesitation and popping on decel (lean conditions). The lean conditions have been my perpetual problem with this bike: jerky throttle, hesitation at 4K RPM, and popping on decel. Soooo, should I take it back to the shop now that I have different pipes and expect different results or should I be looking at getting a reflashed ECU?
FWIW, I checked for exhaust leaks and those have been addressed. Also, I am going to go crazy if I have to shell out a ton of money for a PCIII and a dyno; I'm not looking for more power.
Thanks in advance! [beer]
I'd go with a reflash.
If they couldn't get rid of the lean condition with stock pipes they won't with the DP pipes

Sure. That's what I was thinking. I wasn't all that confident in the previous work and was curious about the extent of what is possible with basic tuning. In other words, if I want that lean condition to go away forever, reflash is the best answer? Seems like it.

It's difficult to say if a more competent tech could make it better.
I'd think that a flash is a more certain result.
You want to explain to whoever flashes it that the intake is stock and you don't need what many others do.
I'm not sure how flexible they can be with maps.
You don't need the same map as a person with pods and boom tubes.
Thanks! I'll give those folks in Houston (IIRC) a holler.

Well, I might as well open the airbox if I'm going through the trouble of a reflash, no?

I would.
