Hi everyone,
I have a 2007 SC1000 Biposto which had it's valve guides replaced by Brickwood Performance around 2012. At the same time, the airbox was replaced with KN Air-Intake Kit and the baffles in the Termi exhaust were taken out. (I assume the original owner installed the termi ecu.)
Since then, I've had years without the reliability I had for the first couple of years when it was pre-valve guide replacement and had the stock airbox and the Termi exhausts with baffles. The bike seems to be running rich foiling the hottest spark plugs I could try and after several computer settings tried by BWP (but never a specific map for the SC1000 - always another model that BWP had on their computer). The bike runs rough, backfires, hates city traffic, stalls, etc. killing the battery... It acts great when at the mechanics.. terrible as soon I ride it normally through the city out to the country or just around the block for a coffee run.
I'm miserable with this lack of reliability.
The next option now is to mail the the ECU off for a new map specifically of the SC1000 with intake + termi.
I'm debating if I should try this "last ditch effort" as to try sending the ECU off or to consider putting the stock airbox back on and trying the original ecu settings.
Could I get the help and the advice of you experienced guys on this forum? What should I be doing?Am I missing something? I tried searching and reading everything I can here and would appreciate your frank advice**.
Thank you.
Jay
