I'm new here; just wanted to say hi and talk about my bike.

Is the 2010 ECU a direct swap? I have to look into this mod a little more, I haven't heard about that yet. Is AFR air fuel ratio? I don't understand the diagrams at all. I am a decent home mechanic but when it comes to fuel injection technicalities I am pretty ignorant. I am happy that I got the PCV installed with all the newest software and firmware, and loaded Ivan's map without any problems. That is about the extent of my abilities. I have also heard too many people say the autotune is a waste of money because its a gamble as to whether it will help or hurt your performance. I think I'll just wait for a professional dynotune.

And as for pictures...I'll get her cleaned up and find an appropriate place to take some quick shots today. Thanks for bustin' my balls :)

The autotune works great. The problem is the lack of documentation and getting the target AFRs set up correctly. There are a few undocumented tweaks that you can do that allows the bike to run full time autotune. As delivered, it is set up for fast dyno tuning. Not good for street riding without the tweaks.

If you run it as delivered, you may be disappointed. The addition of the LCD-200 makes it the only game in town.

Once you get away from the TPS based fuel tables, everything dials right in. You will never trust a tuner again once you see the difference.

Maybe I'll go that route a little later. Like I said earlier, I'm fuel injection stupid, so I'll let the pros do it for now. Besides, I'm really happy with Ivan's tune. It works great for now. My next mods will probably all be towards appearance. I want a little more carbon fiber, and maybe new rearsets just because I don't like the stock look. I would like to get rid of all the silver painted parts and go black.
 
:welcome: and congrats! Sweet looking ride and photo #1 is a BOTM shot for me!

Thank you for serving to protect our freedom! Go Army!!!

I painted my radiator covers black, helped alot. Still would like to black out all the silver, just stands out on these bikes.

My thoughts exactly. All the silver just sticks out. If I get a rear seat cowl then I will take the rear pegs off. I don't ride double too often. I will slowly replace all the silver with carbon fiber or black. I'll paint if necessary.

Thanks, but what does BOTM mean?

Thanks everyone else for the compliments. I'm loving the hell out of this bike. It can't get too cold for me to take it to work. Most people in my company think I'm crazy.
 
Nice pics....your Graves full system really lets the swingarm stand out, that's something you don't see with most other systems. Its an awesome piece of the bike that stays hidden too much.

I was considering a carbon Yosh for mine, but now that I've seen your 3rd pic, it might not be the slam dunk it once was...:)

I was talking to Ivan about exhaust when I ordered his sub-throttle plates and FCE. He said the full Yoshi exhaust allows for more mid-range power than other exhaust systems because the header tubes are longer than stock. The Grave's Exhaust selling point for me though, was the look of the short pipe. The way I figure, any exhaust is going to add power, and one system over another might not offer as much of a noticeable difference. So, I went with Graves simply for looks. If your priority is mid-range over anything else, even appearance, then maybe Yosh is the right exhaust, but I'm happy with my choice and I will not change it for a few more horsepower that will not make much of a difference on a daily commuter.

I love the flush indicators.

Thanks, I like them too. They are a little cheaper than the proton, but they were still pretty expensive. They did not come with factory connectors, just bare ends and butt connectors. The instructions said to cut to old wires and use the included butt connectors to attach the new lights. I don't think so...I got online and found some factory connectors for a clean install. After that, I ended up paying the same for proton lights, but i'm not sure if those have the factory connectors or not.
