Road racing has some similar things with street riding, but usually the everyday rider is the most demanding when it comes to throttle quality and feel. The big HP is easy to get for any tuner that knows a little bit.īut, having driveability that far surpasses stock is what separates a good tuner from a guy who follows the dyno tuners manual, or spends his work life on the dyno or at the dragstrip only.Ī tuner that tunes primarily for the dragstrip or spends most of his time on the dyno has little to do with everyday riding. I will not release any tuning program to anyone until it passes my personal picky standards. Throttle response needs to be smooth and predictable. and at all throttle positions, including max power at full throttle. Most riders want everything to be as perfect as you can get it. If it runs just ok at part throttle, this is good enough. You just need the wide open throttle to be fine tuned and not much else. If your primary riding is just at the dragstrip, you don't need an engine that runs perfect at all throttle positions. Anyone who has purchased from me in the past is familiar with my standards. Sometimes being the first one out with something isn't always the best in the long run. I want everyone to be very happy that does business with me. I will not put something out there that needs improvement. Then I can offer something to you (the customer) that passes all of my picky criteria.įor me, this procedure needs to be done for every model of every bike that I offer a flash for. Another couple of months of testing and actually riding the bike in real world conditions, Once this is sorted (another 200 hours or more sometimes) This means that careful changes are made to help identify what you are actually changing. Then once the file is editable, identification testing can begin. (so far this is more than 300 hours for someone who knows what they are doing without making any mistakes) Then after the ecu is communicated with, the file needs to be reverse engineered and turned into something that is editable. Most times the ecu has to be cut open to figure this out. What you are purchasing is the end result of an enormous amount of time and money spent on each bike.įirst, the way that the ecu needs to be communicated with has to be established. Why does ECU reflashing, re-flashing cost $xxx dollars? More bikes will be added as we complete the flashįor them - We do not disclose what we are working on until it is 99% finished.Īddressing some common questions, and a small window into what is involved from my point of view as a tuner Sending your ECU, please print and fill out the form that is listed on Please see the specific model's page on this May not comply with federal safety/emission laws !!ĮCU reprogramming may not comply with your warranty !! Performance ECU flash is for CLOSED COURSE COMPETITION USE ONLY !! It is a very specific "Tailor-made" service for your bike. Please keep in mind that when we offer this service, there is nothing If you've been doing this and have your own findings to contradict these statements I'm all ears.This page you will see a list of bikes that we offer this service for. I have a lifetime of experience, as does Ivan to support his words. But song for arguments sake is why these threads go to Hell. It's all real simple and transparent to anyone willing to look at facts objectively. That would be like saying the bike should be kept under 60 mph because faster speeds result in accelerated wear on tires. Does higher rpm create more load, friction, wear and so on? Sure. There's maybe intricate physics and math, but it's not magic. These aren't voodoo mechanics at play here. I'm not saying anything a little education or research can't substantiate. I don't care if you trust me or my opinion. I hold some records for my building and tuning. But an experienced tuner, Ivan, or engine builder, myself, can see some things for what they are. Retarding the timing and limiting rpm, changing fuel trims, etc are all part of LIMITING power on the bike.įact is, nobody KNOWS exactly what parameters were set and why except the designer.
