So I was at the shop today and had a good ol chat with the mechanic and he said that the retardation is indeed inside the ECU and like everyone has said best thing to do would be to get a standard 1 from CFMOTO, so then I mentioned a bypass using the PowerComander V fuel management system that is mapped for the 650Ninja/ER6 and he felt confident that it would work considering the engines are for the best part identical. Then he took me to the back of the shop and showed me the NK he had just fitted an WhiteBros full performance exhaust system that bypassed the converter and after a little OOHHing and AAHHring convinced him to start her up and give it a pock.... DAMN! did the girl sound sweet, no dyno no tuning nessisary just bolted on... Cant say about the performance though cause no amount of flattery was gonna get the man to hand me the keys. So I'm putting my pennies away
