Superchips ICON race ignition computer.
#3
I've used these on my car; not this model, but same principles

They advance or retard the ignition pulse through a given engine Map;
They also adjust the RPM range through the given engine Map;
They can also set the RPM limits.
..and thats it !

The box is useless without the Software that comes with it ; you also need a rolling road to acquire the engine Map and you also need the OEM cable (which has a dongle in it) to connect the box  to a serial port of a laptop - I doubt you will wheel up a PC Tower system to the bike (!!) and most laptops do not have a serial port - replaced by USB.

Unless you are on a track and want to squeeze every teeny weeny miligram of performance out of the ignition system, it is pretty useless and should be removed - road performance should be better as naturally the performance envelope has been set for race conditions and favours performance over engine longevity, MPG and so on. Take it off and charge Paul £19.99 for postage which is about £19.98 more than its worth  :lol

Edit: The OEM is a company called E-Tuning .... http://E-Tuning.co.uk

Edit 2: Sounds like you bought a shagged ex-racing or track bike with the engine well hammered ?? check engine compression and valves , and for blue smoke coming from the exhaust  :rollin
