Can't you simply put it back to stock instead of taking another hit in the wallet on a trade?
SEFAN:
How? I don't quite understand these "downloads". Is there a factory "download' that puts the bike back to factory specs? Also it would require all new fatory pipes. I have not checked the catalog but I would imagine that would be in the $1000 range(headers, hardware and slipons). Plus can I trust the local dealer to do all this after they recommended the current set up?. I have thought of that but I fear things would only get worse.

Yes - any dealer can flash the ECM with the original map. Of course, they will charge for that service.
One possibility to think about - sell the Race Tuner and the pipes to offset the cost of going back to stock. What happened to the original pipes, by the way. When I change pipes I always keep the originals "just in case".

The only thing about going back to "stock" that makes it less of a guessing game is that you have a fixed target. You KNOW what "stock" was. So you're actually replicating a pre-existing set of settings and parts rather than chasing some new performance and figuring it out as you go.
In other words; stock would be as stock used to be when the bike was new. No guessing that way.
