2001 r6 cdi flash editor- has any one tried this? does anyone know of a similar one

[Roland]

I was at the track last Friday practice. I was trying to get this beater that i bought for a track bike working good enough for a try at racing. A gentle man with tons of experience told me that when he use to race my year bike back in the 01 error, that they was able to get racing wire harness and racing ecu or cdi for it. he said that i could manipulate it unlike the stock one. (ie adjust the timing retard per gear per rpm).needless to say most of the mechanics at my local dealer were still in high school in 2001 and have no idea as to what i am talking about. so i got lost on the web trying to find any clue to this product. i wasn't able to find a Yamaha specific unrestricted racing cdi or ecu or racing wiring harness. What i did find is this> http://www.odumspecialties.com/POWER%20BOX%20PAGE.htm < has anyone ever seen anything like this and or used it? what are the hazards? and does anybody know were i can find the Yamaha race cdi and wire harness for the 2001 r6? I am pretty sure that the gentle man that i was talking to knew what he was talking about.
Thank you

I had the HRC Honda equivalent of the same thing. Pretty easy to use.

As to where you can find one? Try graves Yamaha racing and have a black credit card handy.

i have a 99 r6 trackbike, and so does kumpy, basically, my logic is not to spend a lot of money on the bike anymore....it will not win any races no matter
how much i put in it, just use it to sharpen your riding skills and this 1st gen r6 is a very good bike to do that with....as long as she runs fine. basic maintenance and such.

go ride the thing and practice, practice, practice....once you are good enough, sell it and upgrade to a newer one....my 2 cents.

You will not ever find that ECU and harness unless someone is selling it off of an old race bike. They were only available to racers at the time on a race team and were extremely limited production, like a per case special order. They still offer them for new bikes on the same basis. It has to be purchased directly from Yamaha Racing and must be approved by them. You can get more than enough out of that bike for amature racing without it anyway.
