[QUOTE="EXPDSGT, post: 323978, member: 2654"] Letter came yesterday that there was a recall on ECU because some owners were having trouble with performance in the mountains. They said FJR's have an "Automatic Altitude-Compensaton feature" that kicks in above 3000 feet however the rider "Must" use over 1/4 turn of the throttle for this to occur or turn off and then back on the ignition. So those who ride very casually (who would) in the mountain will not allow the ECU to change the fuel misture and thus poor performance. I ride at 7000+ feet some and have not had a problem. Yamaha will replace "all" ECU's however asked that owners who ride over 3000 ft get theirs first. My question is --- how many of you are going to get the "new" ECU.? I called my dealer and he had not heard of the recall. The letter sounds like the only change the "new" ECU will have is that it will change the fuel injustion with only 1/8th turn of the throttle. If this is the only "help" will it be worth the bother --- OR will they make some other "upgrades" to the ECU that will make things better. My bike runs fine now so I don't know if I will have it changed. [/QUOTE]
