Took bike back for 2nd visit to JS Flashtune and they would not let me leave until I was happy.
Bike drives as it should from the factory imho.
Touring mode is what I call rain mode and sport mode will put a big smile on your ugly mug!:p
I know some claim a flash adds no hp but front wheel comes up now in 1st and even 2nd with a bit more effort.
Amazing shop and big thanks to Matt and Jay for unbelievable customer service and deep knowledge base.

Located in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada

Well, there goes that hypothesis. I was starting to wonder if the Gen 1s saw the biggest difference with a "flash". There's also another school of thought that the engine is truly awake after 5k miles. You're not that far past. It was after that point that I first, inadvertently, got the front wheel heading upwards. TCS saved my bacon. But, many claim only partial power in the lower rpms. . . . not mine.

Just the kind of info I'm looking for. I'm in Kingston, so Newmarket is as local as I'll get.

Think I'm gonna have to book an appointment. :D

I'm not saying anything negative about a flashed bike, but, mine is a well sorted, sweet, sweet ride without a flash.

Hi guys

My local Dynoworx in Scotland is saying my 2013 ST can NOT have the ECU flashed because the ECU'S on pre 2014's were not cracked.

Is this correct, anyone know of a solution?

I had an full Arrow system but it rode like a loud 2-stroke so put the OEM can back on. Would still like to have it dyno'd to optimise the power...

I don't know which ECU is on your bike, but FlashTune (https://ftecu.com) shows support for the -00, -30, -40, -50, -70, and -80 ECUs for 2012 - 2013 Super Teneres. That includes some US, Canadian, and European models.

Thanks @jbrown

I'll try and work out what version ECU I have. My model is a 2013 World Crosser if anyone already knows.

Going to take it down to the ABR Festival at Ragley Hall in a couple of weeks. Maybe there will be a dyno tuning setup there?
