Dano's is the only one that states that I need additional equipment ($168.00) to clear CEL. Others have had a on/off key procedure to clear this. Do I really need the extra equipment?
Yes, but you only need a cheap ODB2 scanner and a Suzuki dongle to clear the Check Engine Light code. You should have both those items anyway, regardless of whether you're flashing your CPU. You can also use the ODB2 scanner for "any" vehicle, not just motorcycles.Dano's is the only one that states that I need additional equipment ($168.00) to clear CEL.

Nice to know. I have several OBD2 reader/scanners around the shop. I do not have a dongle for the Suzuki. I haven't needed one in the past.Yes, but you only need a cheap ODB2 scanner and a Suzuki dongle to clear the Check Engine Light code.

I personally bought this ODB2 despite its greater cost because it had a good user interface, played well with my iPhone, and could fetch O2 data and record it over time. However, you could just get an $11 dollar ODB2 scanner and dongle for ~$10 and be just fine. Just make sure the ODB2 scanner can actually clear codes. As an aside, the Suzuki's stock O2 setting ain't bad (dunno if it's a closed loop, though).
