Yup that's all I did. Nels at 2wdw seemed pretty confident that's all that was needed and it would be fine and he was right. I figured if nothing else that was the best place to start in any case.

Well I put the bike through it's paces today and everything is fine, bike is running fantastic. Went through at least a few more ride cycles and no CEL so I'm guessing everything is good to go. Silver lining is now I have a scanner for the next time a code pops up. FWIW I bought this scanner and this adapter and it works beautifully for all of $30, probably just a good thing to have on hand.

Got the scanner and hooked it up. There were so many codes I didn't even write them all down. Intake barometric pressure fault, engine coolant fault, something about foot pedal position? Idk kinda crazy. Cleared them all we'll see what happens. Btw it costed me all of $30 for the cheapest scan tool on amazon and a knock off adapter and it works great.

Well I've done quite a few ride cycles and still have the CEL. Motor still feels like it's in some sort of pseudo limp mode hoping that is still directly related to the CEL and whatever I might have possibly screwed up. I ordered a scan tool and the 4 pin adapter hopefully they work and I can scan and clear the CEL.

@texscottydI didn't realize you just need an adapter. I did get an email back from 2wdw they say that you will always get a CEL after a flash that will clear itself after a few ride cycles. I had no idea about that so I guess I will ride it a little more tomorrow and see what happens. Still quite curious why it feels so sluggish. Will keep you all posted.

@texscottydYes I am hoping it is just something simple. I was very careful with the tank when moving it around but it is definitely possible something might have happened there. The airbox I just took the lid off and swapped the filters and put the lid back on. I've had the exhaust system on for about 4 years so no issue there. Is there a decent cheap scan tool for this bike? Probably would be quite helpful in this situation.

Full yoshimura exhaust system my man...

Hey all been a really long time since I posted. Finally decided to try out a tune for my 17 and it is not going well. I have a full yoshi system and nothing else done to the bike mechanically currently around 6500 miles. I also did replace the air filter with an OEM one while I had the bike apart to get at the ecu. I let the bike idle and warm up for a few minutes and everything seemed ok. As soon as I started down my block the bike just felt sluggish. Get out to the main road and give a little more juice obviously nothing crazy cause it's still cold but it just felt bad, look down and sure enough there's the CEL. Only rode it a few more minutes or so afterwards but it just did not feel good. I am pretty bummed out and just wanted to see if anyone else has had a similair issue or maybe there's something I did wrong. I don't have an easy way to scan the bike there are no shops or dealerships around me.

Front fender extender? You have piqued my curiosity. I tried cutting my stock screen down and it was ok but the mra touring screen I'm running now is much better. I believe other people have had success with cutting down their screens. Since you're on a 2015 an ecu flash is a must, and like mentioned fix your oil plug as well. Other than that get your suspension dialed in, one of the few glaring shortcomings on this bike.

On the subject of ethanol I myself have recently found a station about 35 minutes away that has 0% 91 octane. Not only that but it's over the hill in Nevada where gas is cheaper so I actually save about a dollar a gallon over my local station. I will be running only this gas in both of my bikes and my sled from now on. No you will not feel any "power" change with ethanol free gas. The main advantage of corn free gas is that it does not have the awful property that ethanol does of attracting moisture and causing corrosion. It is much much better to have 0% corn gas in your bike while it sits over the winter, also you do not need fuel stabilizer because that stuff is mainly used because of the ethanol. Just remember folks the only reason we put this crap in our fuel in the first place is because of government subsidies! It has zero benefit, corn free for life.

No knock sensors. The reason 91 octane is recommended is due to the high compression ratio. -Skip Yup high compression, which is why it boggles my mind you cats insist on trying to save a buck a fill up...

@roadwarrior - Yes and yes, do not miss the stock pegs one bit.

You're like 6'5" right? Or am I thinking of someone else?Yes that's me.

You tried naked yet? 10/10 airflow for those hot summer days.
