@Joooooooosh 100% agree. What aftermarket exhaust and to do have abs what are your thoughts on rexxer vs power commander?
I’ve got the older
Akrapovic titanium exhaust + the
Akrapovic titanium headers. Unbelievable how much lighter it is it is than stock.
But man is it loud without the baffles. Full titanium changes the quality of the sound and i'm not 100% if for the better.
Fuelling steup on the Scrambler is fairly basic, I doubt technically there is a huge difference between using a Rexxer unit (or having a tuner use theirs) to put a custom map on the ECU or using a power commander to sit between the ECU and the fuelling system.Since the bike is kinda old school, the ECU isn't going to have a ton of parameters that the power commander can't adjust, like higher performance bikes or cars.
That said, the best solution is always doing a proper custom tune of the ECU, where you have the ability to control as much as possible. PC's are an easy solution and easily removed but they are ultimately a workaround but arguments about this are endless.
Either solution is only as good as the person tuning it though. I no longer believe in "off the shelf" downloadable maps. They are usually better than nothing but finding a reputable, experienced tuner to tune it on a dyno, is the safest and best thing for the bike long term and you can have some say in the end results.
Cost is a factor though, when I had my first scrambler, a £250 Rexxer downloaded map done by my local Ducati dealer was the best I could manage and worked well.
Now I'm keeping the current Scrambler forever, I'm going to have a custom tune done but the cost is almost double that.
