Yup, Visconti asked me to provide this to make it easier to get a new license from Ecutek... Its now officially day 10 of my wait.

seems the other guys were not so lucky

Yup, the stock tune that the dealer put on the ecu to address the recall does render the car drivable. However I am clearing the CEL almost daily and the stock tune certainly makes my car feel poopie.

just an update to wrap this thread up. Mike from Moto-East was able to quickly resolve this issue for me. Very helpful, especially considering I have never given his company any $$. Thanks again Mike for all your help
