Okay guys im in need of some experience as i am new to the buell world. I got the bike a couple months ago with a drummer pipe, k&n and race ecm (i sold the race ecm since and got ecmspy).It ran amazing, then about my second little ride (w/ race ecm) it started running a little crappy with not much power and doggish. Then It wouldnt start at all (fires a little but pops like crazy) Now i only did a tps reset since swapping the ecms i didnt upgrade it but it ran crappy before changing the ecm. I plan on upgrading the ecm to a custom map tommorrow (dont have the balls to make my own yet). But what i'm wondering is what could be making the bike run this way? I was thinking maybe plugs because i didnt play with anything at all to cause a short out or anything. What is a good plug to use? and could someone please tell me the most simple way to get to the plugs? also anything else it could be from your guys' experience i would really appreciate thanks alot sorry for the storytime
