One question on the ecu flash, I have a cobra auto tuner in the bike, do you know if it is recommended to leave it in, or remove it? I have the tri-ovals and alley kat air intake, I run regular gas up here in Canada as it seems to be a bit better than the stuff in the US

Okay. Put the bike back together this morning. Amazing difference in performance, the herky jerk Is gone. I can drive at 30 to 40 mph in town and not be fighting the bike the whole time. I had gotten rid of most of the pop with the PCV now it's all gone. I had lost my low torque when I added the freedom performance exhaust. It's all back and then some. Rolling from a standstill is pure joy. I didn't realize how undrivable this bike was till now. Why the hell does Kawasaki put out a product that runs this poorly. Thanks Ivan !!! 5 stars!!!!!

You should call Ivan and talk to him about that but if you can zero out the tuner then you could just leave it on the bike for future use if you want.

Called him but no answer, after hours by the looks of it, pmd as well, but my understanding of the cobra auto tuner, and I am not an expert by any means, is that unlike the pre mapped and pot controlled adjustability, the auto tuner compensates for the fuel requirement as it is need at various throttle openings, and as there is no map or pots, it would do no harm to just leave it in. That is just what I am thinking and not an expert opinion. I am sending my ecu down on Monday with a buddies who has a 1700 nomad, about a week turn around and we are supposed to get cold weather with freaking snow tomorrow, yep climate change is really here NOT. May as well get it done and hopefully it will improve the bike a bit.

When you get your ECU back from Ivan disconnect the power pro, The ground wire, and the injector leads. The reinstall the stock injector lead and ride the bike. It most likely won't need it. By the way I have one for sale if anyone is interested...lol

''Yep, just heard from the boss that it can be disconnected as the flash will do the job.

If your bike is stock like mine and you are confused or on the fence if this is worth it, I can tell you without hesitation it is. Someone on the boards said this should be the first thing you do to your bike. I wholeheartedly agree.

I too got Ivanized and have put on Vance and Hines slipons with the throttle mod. Bike runs really great. I am considering BAK and would like to everyone's feedback about which one - Chuckster's, Roaring Toys or Kuryakin?

It depends on what you are looking for. Chuckster does a kit that leaves the bike looking stock and the bike gets all the air it needs. The other kits are probably more expensive but look different. Whatever kit you choose be prepared for extra intake noise. Some people have removed their kits for that reason. Go round the block with the cover over the intake removed and you get a feel for how the bike is going to sound after the install.
