Hey, didn't see many posts for Gen 2 reviews of Anthony's reflash so I thought I would post my experience.
Background - coming off a 2008 FJR with 55K miles, wanted something more comfortable and get TC and cruise control, so found a 2014 ES with 4K miles and fully farkled (also have a 2005 SV 650).
The one shortcoming of the ST for me is the engine, but you can't compare it to a FJR, apples & oranges but wanted more out of the engine. I sent the ECU to Anthony, here is my experience.
Anthony - great to deal with, answered my questions quickly and turned around my ECU in one day = stellar!
Reflash review - not sure what I expected but it is exceeded my expectations. Much more "tractable" power, more linear and more torque in every gear. I felt 2nd and 3rd gear (in sport) were kind of short and useless, much better now. I didn't even ride in "T" it seemed weak but now very usable and "S" just has balls now!
Less engine braking, smoother, easier to ride, more power, more fun! It may be my imagination but the engine sound better, less "clanky". Now I don't miss my FJR at all!
For the price it can't be beat, highly recommended! Ride safe - Edbo.
