On my 2015 Voyager I had to remove the right side cover under the seat. There is a wire that runs down to the right side muffler 02 sensor. Unplug that wire and tie wrap the lower wire from the sensor so it wont be hanging down. Follow Ivans instructions when you turn the bike on the first time after installing the ECU. Enjoy the totally new ride after the re-flash

The O2 sensor has to be disconnected Ponch otherwise it will be battling the tune Ivan flashed in. It will create ECU chaos. LOL

Well, just to continue this thread; got my ECU back from Ivan, and back into the Vaquero. A little hickup at first due to my throttle mod; the cables were a little too snug. After a quick adjustment, everything seems to be good. Couldn't be happier. Thanks again Ivan for all the hard work getting this available.

I did get to confirm the 115mph (speedometer reading) and 4k rpm.

I know the speedometer may be off a bit, but it still has the capability to go faster.

Got my ECU back in, zero'd out the PCV map and test started the bike. Still awaiting a bunch of parts to come back from paint before I can do a road test.

It has been a week since Ivan ECU mods were performed on my 2015 Vaquero. On my 4.5 hour ride home on an open stretch of lonely road, went 100+ mph with significant throttle to spare.

My bike will go faster than I will.

It did seem to run cooler, but it wasn't a 90 degree day either. I am not sure if there was any improvement in the fuel economy. Dash says 37.3 but I haven't actually calculated to the mpg. The family van gets around 15 mpg

pop,pop,pop on deceleration is a thing of the past. Hard to understand on a new bike EPA or not.

Twist the throttle for a quite rumble,rumble,rumble. Who needs to hear what they think you have when they can see what you really have?

Ride safely for joy filled fun..

Thanks Ivan. Thanks to all who went before and set the expectation standard through the roof.

put a couple thousand miles on sense the reflash, must say I love the results. my only issue is finding good enough fuel. I must not be very observant, watched Ivan put the ecu in and never saw or knew that the o2 sensor got disconnected if you haven't had the flash just do it you wont regret it.

Been scanning the thread til my eyes cross. Lol.. 2015 Voyager had my ECU reflashed probably two months ago. Running great on stock breather and pipes. Recently I ran into a problem. It usually takes one push of the starter and the bike starts right up, but once it wouldn't fire off and I had to hold the starter several seconds to get it to kick off. The other day I got my Cobra Tri Flo s and installed them myself. Bike runs great but I have to give it a little throttle to get it started. Didn't think I would need to on fuel injection. Not sure if it's bad gas, not getting enough air, or running too rich. I plan on calling Ivan, but wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Not knocking he reflash..just have a little glitch.

Maybe the throttle bodies need cleaning. This used to happen on the 1500/1600s when schmutz would build up around the throttle blade If you get some throttle body cleaner, take the air filter off and give it a good spray around the throttle blade it should clean up. Sometimes I'd have to use an old toothbrush and give a little scrub.

One of the Voyager owners in our club changed his spark plugs and afterwards said it started much easier. I think he said there was over 35,000 miles on them. He has over 100,000 on the skoot.

Something to consider that won't cost to much.
