    Good point. I'm out of town for a few days and I will reboot when I get back. It shouldn't matter though as the ECM has no knowledge of the Boosterplug. It only sees the lower (we fooled that B) ambient temp and adjusts for it. I will report back after reboot. Thanks

    I read about this a while back and found this thread which was informative.

    Very interesting. $22.00 in components for a $150.00 gizmo being marketed (as extracted from that article).

    As I have remarked before... this is one bike I am not going to change anything; regarding the ECM or fuel/air ratios. It's perfect. Other bikes I have done so... but the F6B is going to stay virgin in that area.

    I suppose you could make one yourself if your so inclined. But for the price I just went with the Boosterplug. Accelerator Module site does not (or did not) list one for Honda.

    Did the reboot and benefits are still there.

    The author didn't include the cost of the 2 molex connectors if you can source them. Also, I see the newer version are encased in an epoxy, presumably to prevent people from doing what this author did.

    I don't understand all the negativity. The guy put something together that actually works and he makes a little profit. Big deal. I mean we're only talking about $150 which includes shipping from Denmark FCS. To install on a $20,000 bike.
