I am new here and new to this bike (22' S1000 XR). I am going in for my initial 600 mile service and to have the bike "unlocked".
I have purchased the UNICAR UCI 2100 OBDII device so I can turn off my maintenance reminders after I do my services myself using Motoscan.
Reading here I have noticed there are other connection devices and software programs available to allow the owner/programmer to change many things this bike has as options.
I also understand there are tuners out there that can provide these services for performance tunes. The exhaust valve open/close seems to be a big item of attention as does the power in the lower to midrange of the bikes MAP.
That being said... What software program/s and equipment provide the best flexibility?
Do any of them allow you to perform the factory updates that a dealer would do?
Do you need to go back to school to use these?
Are their tutorials available to keep you from smoking your ECU?
SHOP MANUALS
I have also noticed there seem to be some plugs under the seat along the drivers side frame rail that are dead ended. I have no idea what they are for and would be interested to know where I could get an actual shop manual for this bike to have a clear understanding of the actual service to be performed and what is what.
My option wants would be the following in no particular order:
Either both lights on during the day or not. I have Clearwater Darlas that are on all the time.
More than 3 levels of grip heat
Better low end and midrange power. (i am coming off a Multistrada 1260 with tune and full exhaust)
"Touring" suspension mode for those less than sporty drones down the interstate.
