ECU Flash?

[dhoffman963]

Can anyone tell me where to get my ECU flashed? I am located in NE Missouri, bike is a 2013, stock except for delkevic exhaust. Ive sent a message to Anthony back in Sept but havent heard anything back. Not on here much but you can contact me at dhoffman963@gmail.com

Anthony C. Not sure how to spell the last name. I just know he’s Italian . He made my bike run like a champ.

Flashing my wrist was MUCH cheaper.

But doesn't accomplish what a ecu flash does.

Weeeell, I don't know about that. Both "flashes" make the bike more enjoyable. And, I'm pretty sure that I am getting the benefit of 100% power at all rpms; at least with my '17.

Not really. A flash can remove the big rev restrictions your '17 has in gears 1-3, adjust engine braking to your liking, change radiator fan engagement set point and more. It can be a custom tune to your specific liking. A flash is not only for smoothing the fueling as many state. I would not have flashed mine for that reason only.

That's what I was saying, I don't have any rpm restrictions, period.

So you confused me then. I thought your bike's ECU is not reflashed as you "reflashed" your wrist instead for free.

In first gear....from a stop....I drop the clutch, and hammer the throttle....she takes off like a scalded ass ape. She almost keeps up with an FJR carrying a 130lb lighter rider. The ECU has not been flashed. It was my, apparently poor, attempt at humor referring to my wrist as being flashed. I have heard about the restrictions in the lower gears. My bike has never displayed such restrictions. It does have a sensitive throttle, and tons of engine braking. I absolutely love the way my bike runs & handles. Somewhere in this forum somebody said "to each their own". I totally agree.

The restrictions mentioned are not RPM restrictions, rather the rate at which the throttle bodies open and how far they open at different throttle positions in gears 1,2,3. Just as, both the T and S modes have the same HP and RPM, they have different rates of TB opening. Having said that I had my 2012 flashed and it was a big improvement over stock. With my Gen 2 2014 model I haven't as the bit of increase in HP and ECU tuning from the factory are better than my stock 12 was, so I have not taken the time and $ to have it flashed. As for engine braking, most that have theirs flashed have had a reduction in engine braking, which they like. I like the stock engine braking and use it as part of my riding technique, so don't have a desire to change that. Perhaps if I rode a Gen 2 that was flashed, I would change my mind, but I haven't ridden one.

And not just trottle positions...
I believe that if you give WOT, the trottle bodies will open much slower in "T" mode, than in "S" mode.

I believe I said that in my post above.

And that just might be the key to everything. Pre '14s being compared to post '14s. I also suspect that Yamaha has continued to alter/improve throttle response(s) as time goes on.

PM him. Hes the guy you need to contact.

Yes, you kind of did
But after reading it, I was in doubt if everybody would read that the same thing is happening with WOT.
And not only the position the bodies opens to, but also how FAST they get there.
And if I was in doubt, then also some other people....or maybe not....might be my brain
Sorry

I don't think I've seen anybody say they didn't dig what a flash does. A few riders say they like the heavy engine braking. I don't. When I'm creeping through ruts and rocks. That twitchy throttle makes things harder. If you can't get AVC. There are other alternatives

It’s my understanding that only the pre-14 Gen 1 bikes were restricted in the gears 1-3 and that the 2014 and onwards Gen 2 bikes here not restricted which is why flashing the ECU is more beneficial on Gen1 bikes.
