I've been wanting a Triumph Scrambler for a long time, and then suddenly Yamaha makes this bike for $2000 less. And it looks really good, and feels really good under me. So, I'm thinking about it instead.
Here's my problem: Mods for the Triumph are easy and well-documented. There's an air injection eliminator kit, and then you program the ECU for new mufflers, and it's done.
The Yamaha SCR-950 doesn't currently have decent aftermarket exhaust. That's not a big deal, because I can bend and weld my own. I must have high pipes, if I'm to have a scrambler. The big deal is the ECU and O2 sensor. Can the stock ECU be flashed with a new map? Or am I going to have to drop a lot of money on a power commander?
Do I need to retain a bung for the O2 sensor? Will it work if the O2 sensor is installed in only one pipe? (I want a 2-into-2 exhaust with no crossover).
I've been looking up Bolt 950 info, and really haven't found anything that tells me one way or another the best way to get fueling correct after adding new exhaust.
Also, something has to be done about that air cleaner. It's going to bang the **** out of my leg. I see there are a few options for the Bolt 950, and with both intake and exhaust mods I'm definitely going to need a new map, I'm thinking.
So, what's the preferred upgrade route?
