That gave me a headache.

Yes the tuners lock to the bike, but I thought it was to the VIN through the ECM, and the new ECM should receive the VIN.
I learned something.

And where were you wandering to?

i am considering the fp3 but it marries to the bike and if the ecm goes bad and is replaced i suspect that you lose the flash and have to jump through hoops with v&h to get it resolved but i would not do any of that messing about with the bikes electronics until the moco resolves the core issue with your malfunctioning electronics before wandering anywhere but because i live in milwaukee the moco techs ride right over to my house and hand deliver anything i need because i live in the motherland.

Don't really hear a lot about ecm failures. Given that, I'd take the "gamble" and get an fp3, if that were the tuner I wanted.

consider yourself lucky they didn't blame the flash tuner for the bad ecm and charge you for it.

I'm not sure that is a sentence. It does not start with a capital letter, does not end with a period, or any punctuation what so ever!

That's where my "headache" statement above came from.


More of a "stream of thought/consciousness" than an actual sentence...
