I've 3 other bikes all fuel injected all with their own quirks,the BM1100 has a PC,the Tiger has had more maps than I can remember the only real success have been the K1200 that's had a Rexxer map blown into the ECU which is a story in itself,the plan was the same as yours with the XT at the bottom of food chain but it hasn't worked out that way.

The only down side,I have never known a bike eat tyres like an XT.

Just waiting for a post on the difference between aftermarket cans and a MetalMule 2/1,I expect it'll have to be me.
