2020 ECU flash, ecu removal

[Fatcycledaddy]

I have another question, for those of you who have gone witht he stage 2 flash, i see you need to use the cat deleat pipe. How much louder is that when you are crusing down the road? My wife I likes the fact that the bike is quite when running down the road now and she says she doesnt want to have to listent to a loud pipe all the time.

Just shipped my ECU off to Wick-It. On the phone I was told the stage 2 flash will work well with any/or no modification. It is self adjusting kind of like the OEM set up. With OEM cat and muffler the exhaust note will be almost the same but engine noise will increase slightly. That's because they need to modify your intake cover by drilling two holes in it to allow more air inflow. Those ponies you add need more oxygen to perform because they really suck the air. The only drawback for me was that you can no longer lug the 1330 with the flash installed. You (must) keep the RPM's between 3500k and 4200k to make it safely perform. To me that means 6th gear is no longer useful unless I plan on doing 80 MPH during most of my cruising. Hard to believe but that's what I was told.

Wick-it uses flash that's provided by Monster Fuel Injection so you'll be good to go. If you went with stage 2 you would have to send them part of air box.

That's what I thought. And I hope you're right, but why would they at Monster and at Wick-It both say the same thing? However, like you, I have my doubts. I'll just have to learn it after I get it by listening and feeling how it runs at all speeds in all gears. I was always under the impression the SE6 downshift was programmed into the ECU when it needed to. Apparently that's not part of the stage 1 &2 program. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for the input.
