Anyone try a fuel mapping device?

Lurking around online I came across 2 fuel mapping devices for the Buddy 170i. Not really interested in buying one but I'm curious if anyone's tried one & what kind of results these get. Cheap experiments can be fun but these things are expensive. Not sure if I can give them free advertising by putting links here so I'll just mention what they're called: Genuine Scooter Buddy 170i MAGNUM EVO-Tech Motorcycle Performance Chip. The 2nd one is called a Bazzaz Fuel Controller. Insanely expensive to me, $325.

it never fails to amaze me what lengths folks will go to on these things.

I think I'll steer clear of these things, especially the no name kinds I found. So much snake oil out there. I'm leaning back to "If it ain't broke...."
Why do you need to modify the Ecu

Unless you ditch the air box, install a full exhaust system, and install a big bore kit, you don't need a FI controller.

Does anyone make a Buddy 170-compatible BBK?

I'm not aware of any. If you want more than 11hp like I do I bought a Yamaha 155 S max which makes almost 15. Of course it weighs more but handles well, has superior brakes and is good to 75mph.. Hard to beat the Buddy for what it is, a tiny, agile, fun scooter that is quick.
