To make things worse, in Calif we are not supposed to alter much if anything on the engine. While there are some technicalities that might get a dealer around them, state officials have come down on some shops which ends up costing them huge dollars in fines. I'm all for clean air but when most of the rest of the world just freely polutes with any accountability it doesn't make much sense. New Zealand signed onto the Carbon Credit scheme which costs the consumer .40c/gal extra for gas and 48c/gal for diesel. I can only hope the US does not sign on. I agree with A1.

I have used a lot of these with "Stage 1" set-ups. They work fine for that. However, if a bike equipped with one of these shows up in your shop running on one cylinder, check the blue wire on the rear injector plug. Even if it doesn't look broken, it probably is. It will be broken (often with no break in the insulation) with-in 1/8-1/4 inch from where it is crimped inside the connector. To fix them, I solder in piece of wire about 1 1/2 inchs long. The company will gladly replace the module for this, but it takes too much time. The repair can be done in about 20 minutes. Just slide the rubber piece inside the plug back up the wire, make the repair (with shrink tube), then slide it back into the plug. I have probably run into this a dozen time this summer.
