Default Breakout - Access ECU?
How do you access the ECU on the Breakout?

I know it is in front of the rear wheel under the plastic fender wall. I can see it. I can't figure out how to access it...

Does the wheel have to come off....??

I have a Power Vision coming tomorrow and want to plug it in, but so far I can't even see the port!

The power vision plugs into the diag port under the seat. You don't have to access the ecu.

To answer you question though, you do have to pull the rear tire to directly access the ECU

Boy do I feel stupid. Thanks man!

What does the diagnostic port look like? I didn't see anything under there that stood out as one to me so I thought it didn't exist *sigh*.

Ok now to go put back together the bike... .

No worries.
If I recall correctly, it's a gray plug with a black rubber cap.
You pull the cap/ end plug and the PV plugs right in.
