What are the chances the RX3S ECU works on the SG400? Both have TC380 motors...

Thoughts? I'd love to have an ecu that wasn't purposefully tuned to have a flat spot right at cruising speed. Can't find an RE3 ECU anywhere but I can find an RX3S ECU on Aliexpress.

No, that wasn't correct btw. It was the slow tach response that threw me off.

Looking to get rid of the flat spot at cruising speeds. Easiest way to do that for Benelli was to buy an ECU that wasn't modified for CARB/EPA requirements. Finding an RE3 ECU on aliexpress is...

Maybe? Japanese bikes were made for performance, and they used higher quality materials than the manufacturer does in the TT250 and SG250. Better metallurgy out of Japan for sure.

So... no more RX3 it seems… but a new SG400 is on the way!

CSC only has 2022 models of the RX3 in stock. There was never any 2023 stock. So, looks like that model is discontinued (and good riddance). But the SG400 has disappeared from their website. I...
