Fuel Pak Question
I bought a Fuel Pak from a person, his ad said it was a 61003A and that is was california exempt. I got it and it is a 61003G which is the california exempt set up. Now my question is, since I can't return it, it is possible to reprogram it so I can use it in Missouri. I am not sure what the california exempt setup would do for me, or if I can change it enough to make it work.
If not guess I will have one for sale.

I think the difference is that the California versions severely limit the areas that the fuelpak will modify. Not what you want.
Why can't you return it to the person who sold it to you? You might also be able to return it to V&H for a software update, for a fee. They might be able to delete the California restrictions since you're living in Missouri.

from the fuelpak website:
Q. What is an “EX” model?
A. The EX designation refers to our G models special to California. See the paragraph on G models.
Back to questions.
Q. What is the difference between the “G” model and the standard models?
A. The G model Fuelpaks (ie. 61001G) are specific to the state of California. They have special software which locks out fuel tuning in areas controlled by emissions testing. This limited tuning allows the Fuelpak to remain in compliance with Ca ARB regulations and is the only version legal in the state of California on public roads.

I did contact the company I bought it from on ebay, and hopefully they will let me return it and get my purchase price back. I also sent fuel pak a email, requesting info on the tuner to see if it could be reprogramed. Hopefully I will just send it back and chalk it up to lesson learned and I need to really read the descriptions better. Thanks to all for the info.

I think the first post was a little confusing. He got the "G" model, which is the California compliant model. The sellers ad had apparantly indicated otherwise.

Again, thanks for the input. I went back and read the description, it does say its the 03G. So either I didn't read it correctly or it was changed later. I am waiting on an email from the seller, it says they will do returns if contacted in 72 hrs. The 03G is strictly for Calif. bikes, at least that is the way I read it. Again thanks..

All's well that ends well. The seller finally agreed to take it back. I pointed out that the ad was a little misleading and that they should have said it was for bikes manufactured for sale in California. Of course a PayPal dispute wasn't what they wanted either. Thanks for all that commented.
