the ecu isn't as smart as a cars .. they call them electronic carb's


not many sensors .. not to mention they make the bike run lean there anyway .. so even if it could correct for a/f ratio it still going to run lean


and the power commander is under 300$ and revtech has something like it for 170$ kneedraggers.com

the biggest gains you get are while using a powercommander on a stock bike .. pipes don't add much hp if any at all .. you get the power from a proper a/f ratio

bikes generally run stupid lean low rpms and stupid rich high rpms .. the aftermarket exhaust will lean it out a bit wich sucks even more at low rpm but gets you closer to a good a/f ratio at higher rpms


either man up and spend the small amount of money or live with the choppy throttle check ebay
