Hi Guys, I like a few others on here have been experiencing a drop in power in the 3000 -4500 rpm range.  The problem doesnt always consist of that exactly 1500 rpms in between but this is the range i noticed i was having the most problems. Here is the email I wrote: Hello, I purchased a EBR ECM recently for my 2008 Buell xb12r.  I am currently very satisfied with the performance however I do have a question or two. I am currently using a Special Ops exhaust, Open Airbox kit from ASB, and a K&N air high flow air filter. My question is when accelerating through the 3000- 4500 rpm range I experience a loss of power almost as if the engine is being starved of fuel.  Is it possible that the addition of the open air box has caused my bike to run lean through that rpm range? Is there anything I can do to combat this or will i be required to purchase the software key and make changes to the bikes air fuel ratios? As always I really appreciate any help that you can provide and your products and service are top notch. Have a great day and thank you for your support. Nick Here is their response: Nick, Yes, it is just an area that is a little off in the map for your setup. We are actually working on a calibration refinement for the Special Ops pipe with open airbox currently. You can send your ECM back for a re-flash when we get it done. Cost will be $25 plus $10 shipping and handling. Thank you, Tech Support Erik Buell Racing Needless to say I am psyched, I mean the price tag i guess is ok, i did pay 250 for the ecm but if it fixes the issue then I have no problem.  I asked that I be put on a list to be notified when these modifications are made. I hope this helps someone else. Nick

Awesome!  Let us know when you're notified, or better yet, how we can get on that list.

I was just about to order the EBR ECM for the same exact set up. Guess I will wait.  . . .  Does everyone with this set up suffer this problem?

I would think if EBR is diagnosing the issue and responded to me with "Yes, it is just an area that is a little off in the map for your setup. We are actually working on a calibration refinement for the Special Ops pipe with open airbox currently.", then this is a pretty common issue.  I wouldnt think they would put the time like this into something if it was just a one off.

For anyone interested in this thread I pinged EBR yesterday and they are looking at 2 months to complete this calibration.
