2015 Scrambler Classic with Scorpion Exhaust. Runs fine as I use 99 octane all the time. Am curious about a re-map and the benefits if any, also would it affect the resale/trade in value? SP.
What are you hoping to get out of it? is it power? or better throttle connection? A number of people have had good experiences with Booster plugs, which while they are not a remap they fool the ECU into thinking the air is colder than it really is which in turn creates a richer mixture and seems to improve closed/open throttle and general low speed running. They are quite cheap and this would be easily reversible. I'm sure CJS etc could map the bike though also, but I imagine it's nearer £300 rather than £100 for a Booster plug, so if it's power you want, you need the remap.
Looked long and hard at trying to get a little more out of our Icon but proved costly for a very small gain. The biggest (and to my mind the most limiting) issue is the single front disc isn’t up to coping with the current performance. When I get my arse in gear, I have a better front brake master cylinder to fit. Andy
I'm inclined to agree, my comments when I rode my mates ICON were that the on/off throttle connection was way to choppy and that the front brake lacked power. You could fix both those things fairly reasonably cost wise but I can't imagine you will get much from the engine, the main limitation is probably from memory the fact I think it uses a single throttle body if I'm not mistaken?
I was under the impression that with the new exhaust it would run lean increasing engine temp and was curious of other benefits if any. I contacted junction33 https://www.facebook.com/DynoDude/ said they could do it no problems. Front brake seems ok for me(improved with sintered pads), maybe it's a problem with my arse and gearing . Choppy throttle improved since running on 99 octane. Yes,is single throtle body. Thanks for the input insurance renewal two weeks away, time to mull it over yet.
Is that yet another modification?, when I added the Maxton rear shock the bastard insurance co. cancelled my policy.
Weighing it all up, cost of the map and extra insurance, I'll give it a miss. I'll just keep running on 99octane. Thanks all for your input, appreciated.
Chrisw on here, remapped my 1198 SP ECU and it was just right. I'm sure he could advise on what you are considering? If you do remap, I think you probably need to inform your insurance company that you have made the changes. Good luck. Tom.
