What's a YZF500 you mean YZR500?

[DLSGAP]

Was it dark gray... with a Zard exhaust?

I believe it was.. they had a gray one and a red one...

i forget which.. but one was only like 6500... i looked at the misses and said.. hmmm


she promptly replied.. "NO you aren't buying it for the track"

I have the Tuneboy for my Daytona.  It F***in' ROCKS!!!
You can do anything you want with it.  Anything!
Change speedo for tire size changes, rev limit, fueling, ignition timing, diagnostics, data aquisition... and a zillion other things...

And Wayne Macdonald (and his wife, Emma) have outstanding customer support.

Rich, does that Tuneboy hook up to multiple bikes? The same way?

No.  It is keyed to the serial # in the ECU.

You can get multiple "keys" for multiple ECU's that will work with the same software/cable package...
So I could save you a buncha $$$ if you want to get a key for your bike and use my cable/software.

It is $199AUD* for a key, or $499*AUD for the key, software, and cable (what I have).

It is totally worth the money for the full system.  Hands down.  No doubt about it.

FYI, I read on the Ducati superbike site that there is now a DP ECU flasher.... meaning you can remap your ECUs to a custom map on your own.  I don't have too many details but a few board sponsors have it and are playing with it now

Yep.

$7500

...Or buy the Nemesis for the same cost as a Ducati ECU.

I'm obviously needing a second cup of coffee this morning cos I could swear your post says, "$7500."   Clearly wrong...

 

[bryant8]

Yeah, i figured it was uber-pricey for the ECU reflasher

no offense to that bike...but i'd rather have something like your SPS brian.  now that is a fine piece of bike.

[fastwin]

Thanks! It is a sweetheart but I just wish it didn't run ragged like a top fuel dragster.

Randy McCarter actually still has the 996SPS that he helped sell over two years ago stored at the warehome. No s#@t! Some yahoo from New York (no offense New Yorkers but this guy was goofy regardless of home his State!) bought the bike sight unseen and it was his first bike ever! He took out a loan, and it was paid for in full. He wanted Randy to hold the bike until spring (he bought it in Dec. 2006) and he would fly down then and ride it home. Did ya' get that? He would ride the Tamburini all the way back to NY!!! He would be hospitalized after the first day on the highway and would need lifetime chiropractic care if he ever did make it to NY!!

Anyway, the guy just disappeared. Maybe got in touch once or twice over two years but hasn't been heard from ever since. Is that not the weirdest story anyone has ever heard?? WTF?? Have Randy give you the details sometime. Just weird as hell. Good story but weird.

I've been seriously kicking around the idea of getting a KX65 and making a mini motard. That or an STI open gun for USPSA (race gun). Both would be about the same cost. $3500 to be competitive.

Didn't know you were an ISPC shooter? Used to be knee deep in that and 3-gun long ago. Not open class. More of a stock IDPA kinda guy. Taught tactical shotgun for 11 years. Lived (figuratively not literally) at Thunder Ranch when Clint Smith was based out of the Kerrville area and I'm friends with Louis Awerbuck, have taken tons of tactical classes from him and John Farnam with DTI. Scooters and firesticks just seem to go together. Gearhead thing I guess? Ever go out to Tac-Pro by Stephenville?

Yeah, but it's been a while. I'm pretty much a stock guy too. Shot a lot of Production class in USPSA. Did it mostly in Wichita falls at Double Tap Ranch. Shot A LOT of IDPA here locally, houston, and OK. That was about 4 years ago. I PM'd you.
