Here is a link for a parts finder so you are able to identify items by name and part number.....just enter year and model and then scroll mouse over sections to see diagrams pop up.

To get a quick education on fuel management options take a look at J & P cycle for year and model and then look for fuel management options.
But the reality is that Fuelmoto seems to be what most forum members use for purchase and support because they send the unit out ready to go with description of bike that you give them.

I bought a power commander II many many many years ago for my bike from someplace else and then i had to come-up with my own programming.
You have a brand new motor with a fancy open air box and i wonder if they changed the CAM in the motor...either way, consider protecting the motor with a good fuel adder.

Finally, get the service book.
The service book has ONE chapter on fuel injection.
That one chapter will educate you on the M & M system.
It is a very simple system.
Unfortunately most folks refuse to read that one chapter and the techs are no different...why read the chapter when they see one bike every few years.
To a young tech it is kinda sorta like looking at a carb. & the younger techs rarely see a carb either.

That's the problem, the young techs want nothing to do with the mm system and trying to find an older tech is hard

You will not need a tech if you get the service book, read the one chapter on fuel injection, have some simple hand tools (even a cheapo $50 set) and a digital voltage meter(even a free with coupon meter from Harbor freight).
Again, a reliable system who's common problems and repairs are well known and documented.
If you are not a DIY, still get the service book and read the one chapter.
You will learn how to read computer trouble codes with NO tools just by following a sequence.
The simple tools, the service book and this forum will save you a lot of money and keep you rolling on a reliable motorcycle.
The link i gave you to research parts will help you identify part names, part numbers and part cost.
Even if you do not want to touch tools at least you will have the knowledge to tell the mechanic what exactly needs to be done and will have a general idea of parts cost..
About the weirdest tool is a T27 bit...a torx #27 bit available from Lowes or Home depot...one that is in a socket would be nicer, so about a $10 investment.
Most kits do not bring that size of torx and many folks strip the torx bolt by using the incorrect T25.
for example:
Lowes Item # 852782 Model # 85018 Kobalt 3/8-in Drive Torx Driver Socket

Thanks for the advice. I have a full set of tools from when I owned my car repair shop. The only thing I dont have is a lift table.

Lifters are usually replaced around 50,000. While in there you should have the inner cam bearing checked out as well. The OEM bearing is an INA. They have a history of not being able to hold up. The replacement is a Torrington bearing. You should also resynch the Idle Speed Control motor to the ECM after any work on the system. There is a key ON/OFF sequence that is spelled out in the service manual. You can also do a Google search to find it.
