With Todd's 100% help, I installed the full monty of PC5/AT and ECU reflash 2 years ago. Bike ran/runs perfect, much better than stock (2009). However, I am having some idling issues after the bike has been run for a few miles and even on the throttle is not running 'clean'. I have decided to go back to a stock setup and remove the PC5/AT. I assume I need to have the dealer reflash the ECU to stock after I reinstall the stock CO2 sensor and is back to stock.
The bike ran great with all the mods, is not the issue, I just need to track down what is going on now. It all started when I replaced the spark plug caps. Not sure why I did so but in the forums riders stated the stock caps could become an issue. I had the bike in for a warrantied alternator replacement, the pulley shaft snapped, and had them replace the caps. Well, the mechanic pulled so hard on one HT coil leads he severed the wires inside, left side. Was getting the red engine light after. I replaced the HT wire ($3 from NAPA) instead of taking the bike back to the dealer as is a 6 hour round trip, towing, and the bike ran 100% better but still the issue when warmed up after a 10 mile idle or so is not . I believe is the right side that is the issue and now am replacing both sides with OEM wires ($120) just to get back to ground zero, and w/o all the goodies. Not fun in the sun removing the cowling assemly to get to the coils.
I have the diag cables, can I reflash the ECU back to stock w/o going to the dealer?
Thanks.
