22,000 rpm's that seems a bit high, don't you think Doug?

Ummm, well at first I thought so, but with my new "reliability enhancements, and go fast techniques" combined, I just set my idle there and hang on!!

Basically it lets the ecu know where closed and wide open are. If they are off it does mess with everything in between so just cause it runs well in the top or bottom doesn't mean it isn't out.

As for knowing if you need one. If you never had one I would say you probably do. Several people on this site have noticed a performance improvement when they were calibrated properly.

but would it just all of the sudden start dying from this?

Yup. It does happen. I am not saying that this is definitely your problem, but you should have this done just to eliminate it from the list of potential problems!

would it be possible to send my ecu to someone like Haydug and have it done or does it have to be done on my particular bike? because there is nowhere around here who will touch a dale with a stick.

I can't do it, unless you bring me the whole bike. You need a d&m kit. $305 to the door

what does the d&m kit consist of? would i be able to make it work myself? and is that all i would need to do the job?

yes that is all you need to do the job. The kit also comes with very thourgh instructions. Of course you always have the forums to turn to also. The kit consists of a software disc and cable for hooking up your ATV to PC or Palm. They will also give you a code for your particular bike. I might add this is a very important kit that will do more than just calibrate the throttle. ANY dale owner should have this kit, it is almost a nessesity.
