    2012 vs 2013 Model ECU

    Guys, I bought a 2013 Model S10 (fab is 0ct 2012). I found the ECU mapping very acceptable, very far from the complaints I read in this forum or read in magazines. My bike is a US California model. So I did some research: the 2012 ECU is part Nr 23P-8591A-30-00 (seemed to be the same in the...
