I feel bad for those who don't have a spare ECU...

To ride to his shop in stock form and then leave with the reflash is to immediately be able to compare the difference...I was expecting noticeable improvement from this thread, but WOW!!!!
I also have the RACNRAY throttle mod which is 10000% compatible. I will never know if I would have needed it if I knew about the reflash first, but I don't regret getting it either as it DID improve low speed drivability for a very reasonable price while waiting for Ivan's work to be done on the 2015s.
As many of you have noted, it is like getting a new bike.
Thank you Ivan!

I got lucky. Went on a 10 day vacation. Sent it off before I left. Got a call from Ivan saying it was ready about 4 days after I left. It was waiting for me when I got home.

Even better, got this slid by the wife and she still doesn't know.

mine shipped back from Ivan Tuesday when he called he said there is something that has to be done prior to install, I said yeah I know disconnect the o2. But he said there was something else, what is it?

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what it is, I was a little frustrated that he wouldn't take 30seconds to explain it to me but I had already given him my CC info so he was done with my sale LOL.

Did you get the instruction page with the ECU? I don't recall having to do anything before putting it back in. You do have to unhook the battery. I'd have to check to be sure on which terminal. Someone with a better memory may know that offhand. Install the ECU, hook the battery back up, then turn the key on (don't start it) for a few seconds for the system to recognize the ECU.

Plug it in turn on bike (don't start) and will get error code 98. Turn off wait 10 seconds and unplug battery, wait 10 seconds plug back in.

Thanks for correcting that.

Something about getting older and my memory.

Thank you ALL! I didn't have the ECU back from Ivan when I posted earlier today, but FedEx just dropped it off, I have a 16 so I just have to disconnect the battery. Super Excited can't wait to take it for a ride tonight.

You are going to love it. Wish this was around before all my trials and errors with the EJK and PCV

Really....had Ivan's posts and tunes been available sooner, I too would have saved some good scratch on worthless fuel tuners. It is hindsight now and no regrets.....love the way the big Vulcan runs and as it should.

Ya I feel for those that went with the tuners, I did that on my Yamaha stryker as Ivan didn't offer anything for them. Once he did I jumped on it, sold my EJK and never looked back. I rode my vaquero straight home and pulled the ECU out, I even made a step by step youTube video.

Hey, that video will be helpful to people who haven't done this yet. Hope you post it.
