Remapping ECU on FS 570 11 - not recommended?

Called my dealer last week asking for a quote on remapping my Husa FS 570 2011 ECU to a competition map and he said he can do it but doesn't recommend the change and the bike becomes pretty much 'unrideable' ..

Who did the ECU remap? Can you tell a few words on how the bike felt after? What about reliability?

I still have the bike stock. Didn't have to take the emission stuff out since it is the EU version (without canister or stuff the USA version has to be road legal), and haven't exchanged the stock muffler as well.

I'm thinking in postponing the remap to when I can get my hands on an akrapovic, but wanted to hear more about the experience others had with a remapped 570..

thanks!

Since I'm from Brazil I'd try to avoid shipping the ECU abroad if possible... I was just impressed by the local dealer saying that the bike becomes un-rideable. I think I've only heard good things from ECU remapping...

I have one of the three position power level selectors plugged into my bike. I'm not entirely sure the bike has been remapped, but I know that by switching power levels I can tame some of the hit when I'm riding very tight single track trails. I've got 11,000 miles on my bike now, and I'm interested in the remapping. My bike runs very well and has a lot of power, but more power is generally considered a good thing as long as it's manageable power. How do I check the mapping program that my bike is operating on?

Am am in somewhat a similar situation. I'm pretty sure my bike has the original ECU map, but I have the 3-position map switch on my handlebar. I've done limited experimentation, but I couldn't really reel any difference between 'stock', 'mild' and 'wild' - I generally just leave it on 'stock'.

Does anyone knows how this works? Could I have one of the three positions set to the competition mapping, while the other two bring-up the stock and 'mild' settings? i.e. the map switch could really address three completely different maps or it would only set tamed-down versions of whatever ECU map the bike was flashed to?

ps.: I switch the bike off, change the map, and turn the bike back on. Not sure if I need to go through an entire ignition cycle (i.e., take the keys off) to make the map switch effective or what.
