    Looking for a TE ecu, anyone with the arrow setup care to comment if it's a replacement ecu or a piggyback? If a replacement, anyone want to make a few bucks selling their TE ecu?

    My Arrows came with a replacement ECU. Don´t know whether the TE and the SM have different ECUs (would have thought that they´re the same).

    TE :thumbsup: and SM :thumbsdown: ECU's have different part numbers.
    Especially below 4000 RPM they ride differently - the TE one is definitely the one you want !

    We've confirmed the TE is better, I want to buy one from someone with arrows who doesn't need it anymore :cheers:

    I want to try out a TE ECU as well, I've heard the difference is even more dramatic than just the JD tuner alone. I've got the JD on my SMS and have no trouble toting a wheel and keeping it there with factory gearing, and I was able to tune out the surging and hesitation on the low end. Besides the JD, all I've done is opened up the stock cans and the airbox.

    And you´ve not yet done the p/u kit? It´d be the cheapest and the most effective mod ... more than all the others combined

    I'm a wheelie newb, but it comes up easily in 1st. I can get it to pop up in 2nd but not high enough to stay aloft, and I have to bounce it. Haven't mastered clutching it yet. But I like a snappier bike anyway, Husky really did a bunch of stupid stuff with the SMS.

    Clutching up is a whole lot smoother and it pops up a whole lot quicker so you're not building a ton of speed and running out of gear so quickly. I can get it up in 3rd with the clutch and a little bounce, but 2nd gear clutch-ups are the easiest thing ever with no bounce/jerk, and once you get close to the balance point, you can hold it all the way through 2nd, 3rd and higher.

    ETA: just make sure you cover the rear brake so you don't end up on the pavement butt-first. I adjusted my brake pedal as low as it would go for this reason, and because I'm 6'3"...
