I have a 23 crf 450RL and rode it about 500 miles. I just installed the aim ecu and the graves exhaust and WOW! So much smoother, a completely different bike. Really not very hard to install at all. I truly recommend. I also bought the switch and it's easy to route through and set up.

I installed the AIM ECU on my 450 RL, along with FMF Q muffler, 450X header, air box lid removal and desmogged. I got the handlebar switch with two maps from Taco Moto. The two maps seem very similar. Big boost in torque, and very smooth power delivery. Great motor for dual sport. Great bike for dual sport!!

Question Jerome, does the AiM ECU give you the instant MPG figure in the dashboard as well as the fuel consumed?

Looks like a perfect weekend camping. Love the drone footage, Did a fire kills those trees from at the areal footage? Thanks for taking the time to make the video, you have some fun scenes and keep it interesting I am shocked to be the first one to comment on some of your videos. Your channel will do well my friend. Thanks again, good way to wake up, drinking coffee, listening to relaxing music and scenery. Nicely done. Love the frogs in the background sitting around the camp fire.. Dale

Mine is on order, I didnt buy the switch, I knew up front I will be wanting to buy it later, so for the time being, just going with what they send me and have the map switch in another month or two. Thanks for sharing and I enjoyed you helping the pup find his way home at the end. New sub. have a blessed week. Dale

There may be an issue with some bikes not remembering the last map sw settings. We’re working the engineers in italy at AIM on a software patch to resolve that. Taco Moto will contact all owners with info on how we’ll do these updates for free
