Default Re: Yoshis From America ?

I guess you take your chances and risks......some pay off, some dont.

You need to speak with the shop and get them to label the box as a warranty repair/replacement item - No value

Then it will get through customs without any charges.

Fit the system yourself, its easy, and that is very steep price for a OEM ECU remap!!!

When you customise a bike it is far more rewarding if you do the work yourself.

Think i am going to do that - i know how to handle a spanner so should be able to get through it! (are there any threads of someone who has done the whole system - been searching but not found anythin yet)

Only 2 questions remain ....

Best place in greater London for a stock ECU remap and what should i expect to pay?

Can i keep a legal can and fit it to the Yoshi system pipes come MOT time??

Thanks again for all your help.

Around £60, anywhere above £100 is overpriced.

Yes, when the Yoshi arrives measure the link pipe diameter and find a can the same size or you could get any can and have a link pipe made to fit.

Hello

Not been about for a while but a quick heads up on the OEM remapping. We dont offer what other shops often call an OEM remap. The one we do is not via a Yoshi or Teka box and remaps the stock ECU fully. It takes 3 hours to do hence the £150 cost.

Anyone offering one for £60 isnt doing it properly.

Thats a bold claim to make when reputable tuners offer the same service for £60-80 and have had no problems or bad comments made against them!

A Yoshi done properly does remap the entire ECU!

Hello..

I dont know of anyone else using the same system. Doing it properly i was refering to completing a full remap. Not one done via other systems such as Yoshi or Teka which dont have a full range to remap like a PC or the system we use. A Yoshi box will only alter to a certain limit and often a limit which isnt enough.

Thats all. Failing that as it takes 3 hours to complete (like mapping a PC) £20-£26 an hour labour is bloody cheap!

No more a bolder a claim than suggesting £150 is overpriced!!
