I plan on derestricting my KLX as soon as I get it and it seems that the three options are

1 The diy one, cut and resolder one of the wires yourself
2 Buy the unrestricted ecu
3 Buy the programmeable ecu

As I am not going to be changing the exhaust, gearing or any other mods and I just want it to run as it was intended to is option 1 my best bet?

If your bike is out of warranty period, then the snip is a good cheap option. With the performance ecu, you can always just plug the original back in & Kawasaki will not know any different!

But there are 2 or 3 snip options, so make sure you research this method properly.

With the programmeable ecu, you could have 3 riding styles saved on your laptop. Example, low fuel good low torque or an off road MAP & a high power high rpm fast road MAP! It took me 5 minutes to load a new MAP on my ecu the other day. Don't even have to remove the side panel to plug the usb cable in!!

(Update)
In hindsight my fuel consumption exercise is probably the most unscientific experiment ever!! With a full tank of fuel to low warning light coming on, I lost 15km....130km to 115km) but the bike is feeling faster at the top end & I have given her a harder ride than usual due to the better high rpm power delivery from loading a new MAP from Chatbovon. My bike is faster than my mates 2009 D-Tracker with performance ecu & juice box!!

More power, more gas - 10% more is acceptable. How small is the tank? My Wave 125 gets more out of one filling!
ECU-wise a programmable would be my choice; power at low rpm for daily city riding, at high rpm for the track or a trip - perfect!

Thats interesting to hear, its not something that I would know how to do anyway so I was going to ask someone who does know how to do it for me. What are these different options then?

Slash they have the De-Restricted API ECU available at Kawasaki for 4000 Baht. I would suggest that over the Wire Cut! Main advantages are the Dealer fits it, It is Plug and Play and I doubt it affects Your Warranty? With the kind of Mileage You intend to do this would be the best option but that's only My View?

Good to hear that. What is your total cost?
Is it just plug & play cos I am not technically inclined. )

Thanks for that Ian, I agree for only 4000 Baht its probably the best option
