Zeineth I would go right to his website and call him on the phone and talk to him personally, which is what Ivan prefers. He will then inform you of everything and let you know what your best option is. I know that the ECU comes out quickly and easily and it only takes an instant for him to flash the info into the unit. Your fuel economy will depend on how your intake and exhaust are set up partially but also with the load and weight you are carrying, who knows? I do know that he recommends running your bike without a fuel tuner but the PCV can be tuned for negative fueling as well and you might want to leave it in. Just call Ivan and talk to him. He can be reached at 845 268 1212 in NY hours M-F 10-6.

Can I keep my original ECU and buy a replacement to have this done to? I would like to have the original in case California starts annual inspections.

See you did a second post so not sure if you have located it. But it is attached to the same rubber mounting unit that the 3 plug one is. Same width and depth just an inch or so taller I think. Mine is somewhere out there in FED-EX land. It's the one you ID'd in your first post with 2 plugs

About the size of two packs of cigs sitting side by side, but a bit thinner.

No need to call. ..just make sure that the form is with the ecu in the box.
I call everyone the same day as received. We will work out the details at that time. Thanks, Ivan |

This is sounding very interesting. It would be nice to have power and fuel economy together. Well at least better fuel economy... Lol

An ECU for our bikes will set you back around $889.43 Have Ivan do the work and if you don't like it, send it back and he can restore the original stock settings. This defeats the whole purpose in the first place though...this entire thing is about major improvements in many facets of the ECU function....making things run the way they should. it took him and his team about a year to master the new settings. Not worth the cost of an extra ECU.

Thanks for that info. It makes sense to just do mine and hope that California doesn't start with inspections. Maybe if it was just a visible inspection I would pass without them knowing. I will be watching this thread and see how others like this with a stock set up.

Don't waste your money on another ECU.... There's no need to spend money on that. Stock or pipes and air filter... All the benefits are the same. Driveability is the most noticeable improvement for all setups. The first and most noticeable improvement is how much quicker it revs. Throttle response and control is very much improved over stock programming. Then there's all the power improvements... everybody like more power. Guys with pipes will be able to say goodbye permanently to all the popping and backfiring. People can research some of the other cruisers that I have done on their respective message boards... (Bolt, Raider, Stryker, Stratoliner). I'm 100% confident that you people will be very happy with the work that we have done. Ivan |

How long does it take after you receive the ECU?

Same day turnaround... Your throttle may become too sensitive.... You can try it, if it's too sensitive, then you can remove the mod. No big deal. Ivan |

Greetings,
Yeah, I am *WAY* interested... Like Peg, I think the wallet might be coming out of hiding... Waiting to see reports and do a little more research... Ride safe,

I scoured the internet yesterday, and thought I'd found one negative review of Ivan's work... But it was just from someone complaining his face hurt from wearing a huge grin ever since Ivan worked his magic.
I'm sold... and now only waiting until I can do without my ECU for the time it takes to ship it to the USA and back. Coming to the end of season down here, so it'll be in the post at the first sign of bad weather.

I spoke with Ivan yesterday also. I can say the man's knowledge is extensive. I will be sending my ecu in as soon as I get home to get it out. I'm like a giddy little kid !
