Im sending mine off weds for the reflash. Are their any write ups for removing it with pics? The most popular on here has the photos blurred.
Thanks. I emailed him. I appreciate the response!He did 2 bikes for me and I highly recommend him and the reflash. Here is his email address.

Read post directly above, +1Thanks for the greatly reduced mpg reports now I will simply forget about any kind of flash.
I have to disagree. The bottom line is the flash increases fuel to the throttle bodies. This results in decreased MPG no matter how mellow you are on the throttle. I have had 2 different bikes dyno tuned. Both times they ran leaner in OEM configuration. After they were tuned, the Stoichiometric AFR became fuel rich. On my XR650R I decided to go up even richer to help the motor run cooler in the desert.Read post directly above, +1
The flash doesn't reduce mpg your wrist does. Bike is so much more responsive and so much more fun throttle begs to be twisted. My buddy with an unflashed Tenere rode mine and swore my clutch was slipping. It wasn't slipping and 50k miles later I still have my original clutch. It spools up the rpms in lower gears so much faster he thought the clutch had to be slipping. Lol
My flashed 2013 has got 57.5 mpg on a tank riding speed limits. My lifetime average over 140k miles is 40 mpg. Gen 1 are said to get slightly less mpg than Gen 2 also I think.

I'm not sure the flash adds fuel. How do you know that? Biggest difference is it removes restrictions in gears 1-3. Need to ask the programmer if interested instead of making assumptions. I can say that my flash didn't impact my mpg. And I have detailed records for all of my 140k miles. I can tell by my mpg tracking when I switched to 50/50 tires, when I added panniers, when I had low tire pressure, when I cruised I-10 for 1,000 miles at 85-90 mph and when I rode a tank at speed limit being easy on the throttle and light on brakes to achieve 57.5 mpg. Same tracking shows wrist to wrist a reflash didn't impact my mpg.I have to disagree. The bottom line is the flash increases fuel to the throttle bodies.

These bikes come very lean from the factory. There is no possible way that a re-flash is going to yield better mileage.
Think about it. Whenever you are decreasing the engine braking, there is more fuel being added. This engine braking is a common complaint among a lot of Super Tenere owners. I actually love the engine braking in Sport mode. I use the clutch to control how much I need when reducing throttle.
More fuel = less engine braking
Less fuel = more engine braking
When we ran carbs in the desert, I would go up at least 2 sizes in the pilot and raise the needle. The engine braking would decrease by a noticeable amount. But it would save the motor in the technical rock sections when the engine would get super hot.
