It is not hacked into your wiring though. It plugs into the DTC (diagnostic connector) which is behind the left side cover.

Great feedback, thank you! I did notice that it plugged into the DTC when tracing all of the wiring back. One of the things that I am not too keen on it is when slipping the clutch it seems to confuse it a lot. I've never had the desire to know which number gear I am in so this device seems novelty to me. I'm going to give it some more time before I make a final decision though.

It actually works well, but doesn't indicate the gear until the clutch is let out. You probably noticed that, so I can see the clutch slipping thing. And that is only negative I've found. OTOH, if it is displaying incorrect gears then it needs re-calibrating. It isn't hard to do and you can do it with the bike on the center stand. I don't remember how, but the procedure should be on their website. Or I can dig mine out if necessary.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

Gotcha, and I do have the manual, I was able to download it from their site. Thanks for all of the advice!

Also forgot to mention, I think the bike also has a tune. It has a Guhl sticker under the tank on the FI controller that says "for racing use only" and "no guts no glory" 4003 is written in marker on the box. I emailed them to see if they have any record of it but I haven't heard anything back.

Most of the people that sent their ECU to Don Guhl had the speed limiter removed, maybe the rev limits moved up some and the fuel map changed a tad. He will do what you want.

Don Guhl is not good on emails, better to call. No I haven't done mine, but there is a lot on him around the board.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

Other than the odd grizzle about Guhls not answering emails, there's been only praise on this forum for the quality of service the firm provides. As far as I know, CB1100 owners from the US, the UK and maybe Canada have sent their ECUs to him to be reflashed as there doesn't appear to be anyone else in the world who does it.
