Update: Still riding the CR. The dealer has ordered a fuel line, and I have my fingers x'd that they are right, but it just doesn't seem like it will fix the problem. Still, I'll give it a shot.  IF it doesn't work, I'm moving my biz down to the other Austin area dealer - most of the local Hellbuellies swear by this dealer.

Hope that fixes it Fiend.  In the meantime, how 'bout a little review of likes/dislikes between you're XB12S and the CR.

If it can help with what I said before I got my bike out since Monday and so far it runs very good with the new ECM, I forgot to mention before that they did chance a fuel line too that was a bit loose and wasn't supposed too so I don't think it was the problem but who knows I'm very happy that the problem seem to be fixed for now.

Update:  So I got the bike back again, started it before I even went into the shop, and it was running like before, but just a little.  Within 2 hours, it was almost back to the same crap, and within 12, completely crappy. They changed the fuel lines. I've given up on this dealer (4-5 tries is enough) and am trying to get in contact with Buell tech support.  Anyone know a person in Buell?

Did they ever try swapping out ECMs?

Nope, not yet.  I think they are looking at the turn signals as the source of the problem (non-factory) Bike died on me in the middle of rolling onto the road from a stop on a steep embankment; so now in addition to a crappy motor I've got lots of scratches.

change out the ecm...try with someone else or a showroom model, or whatever a dealer can do. i know the benelux buell manager, but that will not do you any good...

I have an update on the4 ECM replacement on my bike, it is running better but still not 100% like it should so the ECM is not a magic fix, the bike seem to take for ever to warm up I'm talking more then 5 mins+ sitting there before going for the ride and even sometimes it will bug a bit in the first cpl min of the ride. Also when not warmed up completely the rpm will fluctuate alot at idle. Like I said it's not perfect but I can ride and have fun so alot better then last summer

Check the vent tube coming off of the top of the tank. May be vapor locking. Pull it off at the tank and blow air through it to make sure it is not clogged up. It sounds like a fuel issue for sure. One other thing you could do is pull the gas cap off before starting it up to see if that helps. If this doesnt help I would lean towards a fuel pump or something with the injectors. Keep us updated.

hi - i found the ecm pin box(exs) - they are under the seat on my TT.  from what I can tell there are two sets of ports, each numbered 1-12. when "jumping" them per the poor man's ecm spy method, do you jump 1 and 2 right next to each other (on the same port) or do you jump 1 and 2 in each seperate port? thanks

Did you post in the wrong thread? You don't jump any of the actual ECM pins!  There is a dangling port with a rubber plug in it.  It is probably laying next to your fuses and it has 4 pins total.  That is what do the jumping on.
