The GIXXER forums are calling it snake oil.

Interesting though. Since it "plugs" into the IAT sensor connector, thereby bypassing the IAT sensor itsel, I assume it just tricks the ecu (or ecm) into sending different info to the injectors? Since it's an across the board adjustment, you are stuck with a particular setting unless you re set the "chip" every time certain conditions change

The device was a life saver during the engine modding process. It allowed me to default to a richer map as I made modifications to the bike. It would occasionally put up a "check engine light" but it was rare and the code would usually clear after the next run. It is my belief that no bike should need after-market gizmos attached to it to make it run properly due to poor ECU programming or improper engine build, (e.g. bigger exhaust & intake but no FI compensation). So, Eventually... After I completed the Yamaha's engine build-up I discovered that replacing the bike's stock 6 hole fuel injectors with a ten hole unit negated the need for the IAT sensor trickery. I was then able to disconnect the box and run the stock ECU on the heavily modded mill without any issues at all. One difference that I noticed between the one for Suzuki and the one for Yamaha (that I used), is that mine had 6 NEGATIVE steps then "ZERO" then six POSITIVE steps. I could richen or lean it out. I could write pages on why my Yamaha and your Suzi need different medicine to get them running right but I'm already too long here. Here's the bottom line: I would say that if you like to tinker, it is certainly worth the fifty bucks to give it a try. Besides, hacking up your stock harness is part of the fun.

The problem I see is the limited number of steps that would make the steps either too coarse or the range too small but the big thing is the change would be across the entire rpm range. A PC or a Yosh/Teka box can make different changes to different parts of the rpm range.

I'm not looking for more power,I just want it to run clean from low RPM's to redline!!.My V is 100% stock and will stay that way but it's almost impossible to ride below 3,000 rpm's ( 2,500-3,000) it bucks and coughs.

There's the problem. You just want to richen it below 3000rpm, not across the board. If I were in your shoes though, I would just change the gearing and keep it above 3000rpm.

Agreed!
The gizmo mentioned above is perfect for a new set of pipes and a K&N air filter which would require a richer map across the board. However, all the DL1000 really needs is about 20% FI increase from off-idle to about 10% throttle. Ten minutes with a Teka Tuner and all ridability problems disappear. It's unfortunate that the 10 minute fix carries a $700.00 price tag.

I'm on my 4th set of sprockets.I have had,1 down front,2up rear,1down front with 2up rear and now I'm back to 2up rear.When my bikes cold ( 0-1 bar ) it runs GREAT at ALL rpm's,at 2 bars it runs bad under 3,000 rpm's.It doesn't really run great over 3,000 but it is alot better than under 3,000.
