    Don't get me wrong I love the Bike But
    Man is it ever a Grumpy Bike On start up

    The ECM is Race only with the Pro series Filter And the Race Pipe

    I am very seriously wondering about the Drummer and A new ECM

    from my understanding there is No way to work with the Stock EBR race ECM ?
    Once the Bike is warm and Out on the Roads It Is a Beast!!!! even for my 275 Pounds . But the Drivabilitiy in the town Can be A pain In the Butt

    I haven't Done the Breather Mod TPS reset has being Done to
    I have No back Fire Some popping On Decel which Is minnor
    So is this the nature off the old race ECM

    Thank you

    It surges At low speed 1 & 2 sometimes 3
    as far as on start up it will idle for a bit and then die have to sit and work the throttle But once it is warm it Will idle fine .... new plugs checked wires no air leaks sea foam ,new oil both holes and no codes and no shorts
    I am at 3000 feet above sea so may try a ride to learn again

    If your primary chain is too loose, at low rpm's that thing will buck around and be generally unruly. As far as the no idling, try the tps reset again...

    Swap out plugs for NGK Iridiums (DCPR9EIX) and do the breather re-route. Without a custom tune, it's almost impossible to rid the bike of the grumpy spot.
