Booster Plug - What's Actually Inside

[Tor]

And then finally i went for a remap from Samios. There is no more ultimate power from the remap, but two benefits I felt made it worth it was the removal of any torque limiting in lower gears, which on 850's  is achieved with the gear selector switch, on 900's it's hardcoded into the ECU. Easy to fix on an 850, but reprogramming is needed for the 900.

 

The best part of the remap for me though was the removal of fuel cutting when decelerating. 

 

I'm moderately happy with my BoosterPlug, but as I travel to Athens a lot I'm considering getting an early ECU for Samios to remap. But I'm actually going to ask them to leave the fuel cut-off in place, as I dislike popping and enjoy the growly exhaust note while decelerating as well as the engine braking effect. I also want the torque limiting gone. The bike still hunts a little around 30-40 mph level, and consumption has gone up by a bit so rather than fiddle with CO settings in the dash I'm thinking remap. Did you notice any other improvements beyond the highlights mentioned?

 

Any thoughts on remapping versus PowerCommander setups?
