NEW! ECM Recalibration Service
Dear Racing Family:
For many years DPS Technical, Inc. has been your trackside support provider for you and your Honda CRF 250R and CRF 450R motorcycles for Amateur Motocross and other forms of racing.
With corporate budgets being realigned it has been difficult for us to be able to help you trackside at as many races as in the past.
To continue to be a resource to you and to keep your fuel injected Honda CRF 250R & CRF 450R motorcycles running at top performance we are offering to provide an Engine Control Module recalibration “Mapping” service to you. We can adjust your ECM module “Map” to match your track, riding style, fuel selection and motorcycle modifications.
Recalibrating your ECM is the best way to get the power adjusted to fit your riding style, home track, fuel and engine modifications. We have in excess of thirty years in the racing community and understand the needs of the racer — our results are well proven.
We offer fast turn around and free Priority Mail return shipping.
Need more information? See our Motorsports Tech Section.
Notice: DPS Technical, Inc. is an independent organization providing specialty services to the motorsports community. This racing service is NOT part of American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Respectfully,
Chris Real, CLS
President DPS Technical, Inc.
