[QUOTE="BkerChuck, post: 1359780, member: 29320"] Tempest, Yamaha ECM is hardwired with a plug in connector. Yamaha did something though I haven't seen done in other bikes. No OBD tool or plug in is needed to pull codes, it's built into the diagnostic screen of the instrument panel. Easiest vehicle I've ever seen for this sort of thing. Couple of key presses and use of the kill switch lets you toggle through menus and check or clear codes. Easy-peasey. I also own a Buell and understand your pains even though mine is an early tuber model. I hope this doesn't come across too harshly but straight up you've got to stop comparing your Uly with Yamaha's FJR. They are practically from 2 different planets.Beyond riding on 2 wheels they're farther apart than apples and oranges. The liquid cooled inline 4 cylinder with overhead cams and shaft drive are a proven design and there are forum members with over 300k miles on some of these bikes. While it does require valve checks and occasionally adjustment these are pretty straightforward and lots of tech days pop up with folks willing to help. Oil and filter changes are simple and transmission uses the same oil already in the engine unlike the separation into 2 drains and fills found on your Buell. I've kept my Buell s-2 Thunderbolt mainly because I bought it new in 1995 and book value on it now is abysmal so why sell it. I can tell you that in the 4 1/2 years since buying the FJR, the FJR has added over 62k miles to its odometer. The Buell has added......less than 500. If you haven't already done so, go test ride the FJR. It only took me one demo ride at Thunder in the Valley in Johnstown, PA back in 2009 or 2010 to know I'd own one someday. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
