Default Abs

Yes I got the 1239 service completed. My original concern to the dealer was about the ABS activating during, what I considered, normal braking. Haven't had that situation re-occur in the last several thousand miles of riding. I'm happy the way the brakes are performing. I have a PC3 installed but that didn't appear to be an issue.

The service bulletin mentions :

1. "Connect Digital Technician to the vehicle. If the displayed ECU calibration is 32836-09, then the ECU should be reflashed to the 32836-09-A calibration.

Will this over-write my TTS tune?

I am picking my bike up in the morning. I already called the service writer to make sure this is done. I have issues going down a steep dry hill ABS makes me feel like I wont be able to stop in time on the bottom.
