This is probably a dumb question but I want to know so.....

Everybody is talking about getting an Area P or Power Commander and maps to compliment their exhaust and air filter upgrades.

Can't you just have the ECU remapped and be done with it? If the bike comes with an electronic fuel delivery system, it just doesn't seem logical to me to add another one on top of what's already there. Maybe ECU isn't the term I'm looking for but there's already something on the bike that can be tweaked I know.

I understand that with and ECU reprogram, you lose the ability to tinker or change up quick and cheap but for people who arent going to experience extreme elevation or climate changes, an ECU program should suffice right?

What are the pros and cons?

I vaguely recall some guys juicing up their sport quads and they went back to the dealership to have their ECUs reconfigured for their upgrades. I think it came out to about $15 more than the whole PC and map setup.

I guess it wouldn't be a good idea with these bikes anyway, they might void the warranty if you brought it back all modded out
