Let us know how it goes. If there's a simpler option to smoothing the bike out instead of flashing the ECU, I'd be really interested.
It will, I bought one a couple of weeks ago 👍Probably the only thing I don't like about the SCR ... well, aside from me being a 6'2" dude riding a small frame bike again, something Yamaha isn't at fault for ... is the throttle response at low speeds. It seems to be more of an on/off type of thing. Jerky, right when that's the last thing you want.
A few years back, I had the same issue with my BMW R1100GS. So I tried something called a Boosterplug. Worked like a champ. It fools the ECU into thinking it's much cooler than it really is, so the stock software gives it a tad more fuel. Takes the "lean" out, if you will. Really smoothed out the low speed throttle response, which on that big bike in the woods was key.
So, I just ordered one for the SCR. Hopefully it will do the same thing. Stay tuned.
Oh, and yea, I know I could have done the new intake/Ivan thing ... but for now I kinda wanna keep it stock as far as in-and-out. And I'm not looking for increased power. Just smoother roll on and off of power. Crossing things ...

This method will work if the bike is uniformly lean. I've heard this thing is lean at idle and in in the mid and dunno in the higher throttle positions.
In a way its an easy enough mod, I'd like to know how it turns outand would do it - BTW the temp sensor is in the upper triple - right under the Yamaha logo.
You could tie a chunk of ice there on a warm day and see what that does LOL.
Yep, there's an alien head under the upper triple on the near side, undo it and it'll drop down.BTW the temp sensor is in the upper triple - right under the Yamaha logo.

Nope, I paid retail. It really is meant to solve a single problem, and it did for me. Yea, it was costly, but I own a boat so I'm used to small things costing big bucks. LOL!The cheapest boosterplug is over $100.
You found any better ? Or did you pay that.
I am thinking of dropping a 10K ohm resistor in the thing if I have to pay 100 for it.
