Difference between race ecm and stock?

George forgot to mention that he tried to teach me how to suck off dudes, but I wasn't into that, no matter how much money he said he made on weekends.

The above instructions are accurate for software setup. However, they are incomplete for tuning and EEPROM modification. It is not advisable that a newcomer to FI tuning or Buell FI systems attempt to adjust the EEPROM in any way without prior education on the matter. It can result in a bricked ECM and/or a damaged bike.

For individuals who are interested in learning to tune ANY FI Buell (regardless of year, model, or ECM type) and/or custom tuning services, come check out The Tuniversity, which is a site sponsor and is well-reviewed on this forum and others. I have a lot of experience as a teacher, and have been met with success working with both beginner and advanced riders/tuners. If you'd like to help your bike achieve its full potential while ensuring that it is running in optimum condition, drop me a line via the website. I can get you hooked up with a tune that matches your bike, your riding style, your environment, your aftermarket add-ons, and teach you how to do it in the process.

Both Marc and I cover cable setup, software setup, EEPROM modification, datalog acquisition and theory, log analysis, map adjustments, and corrections adjustments. We also focus on doing all of these things safely, arming you with the knowledge to accurately manipulate your own FI system.

I just sent you a pm I need some help....lol

I have recently acquired a 2009 xb12r with a micron exhaust installed with no ecm modifications completed, so the check engine light is on. What do i need to do to take care of this? Can you flash the stock ECM to correct or do i need to get an a/m powers commander type ECM?

Go ahead and search for answers. You'll need to READ the thread, not just copy/paste the same post at the end No need to post twice either, we're a tight crew here and willing to help. Check the thread you started and welcome to the forum!

This subject has been beat to death and things are a bit different now than even 4 years ago.

The only difference is engraving on the case. You can engrave or put sticker "race use only" on your ECM case and now it is race ECM.

Stock VS "Race" ECM

The term "Race ECM" is often misused. Many people associate this term with performance/aftermarket ECMs marked with "race use only" and the common misperception is that they are a different piece of hardware than stock units, which they are not. The only difference is the engraving which is due to the fact that a non-emissions compliant tuning is installed.

The ECM on the left is a stock DDFI3 Buell ECM. The one on the right is an EBR ECM. The only difference is the engraving.

True those are the only PHYSICAL differences.
The mapping, I believe both fueling and timing, are different.
Please someone post a side by side comparison of the maps.
Otherwise, newbs that stumble upon this will slap stickers and engravings on their ECM believing it improves performance.
