yamaha yzf r125 ecu upgrade after baseline checks, not before
I am being asked about a yamaha yzf r125 ecu upgrade for a bike that feels slow on one hill. I want to know what should be checked before touching electronics.
I found this related page while comparing notes: yamaha yzf r125 ecu upgrade. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check valve history, plug, air filter, intake leaks, chain slack, sprockets, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and the same hill before an ECU upgrade?
