Of course he'll need to drain the oil or it'll be pouring out the clutch cable hole while he's swapping them out. Wiggle2
I started out on a Buell too and it's definitely not the easiest starter bike. Trust me and enroll in an MSF course before you dump it again. ;)
1: Open your Stock EEPROM with ECMSpy in one window so you can see your Map/Timing Values.
2: Open the Maps you want on your ECM in another ECMspy window. (Much safer this way than trying to...

Use the passenger peg from the opposite side so it won't flip up on you.
NO! They are different firmwares for those 2 year models. It'd be better to just load the Race ECM mappings onto your current ECM AFTER saving a copy of it for back-up. Do not physically take an...
