Hi all.
Apologies for what is most definitely a bit of a repeat on some threads that are already here, but I was hoping to get a bit more of a focused idea a about something. The topic is ECU Flashing. :rolleyes2:
So I have a set of stainless Yoshi TRS slip-ons on the bike and a K&N air filter on the way. There is a well renowned tuning group near me who recommended I get the ECU flashed once the pipes and filter are on and that I would benefit massively from this. My riding involves a lot of commuting and a fair bit of fast mountain riding with some motorway stuff thrown in too, a bit of everything.
Now I've read through the threads but what I want to have a level of knowledge before I go in there because from what I understand I will have a certain level of input into how the flash is done? The lads have a dyno there too. Also they mentioned nothing about a harness.
So my questions are:
- Will I really notice a big difference, is it worth the money?
- Will an ECU flash remove the 1st and 2nd gear and top end restrictions as standard or do I have to specifically request this?
- Do I need to explain exactly what I'm looking for (e.g. more low end pull, smoother throttle etc) or is a flash a fairly standard thing just basically smoothening everything out?
- For someone who does ZERO drag strip type stuff (i.e. not worried about an extra 3mph at the top) what would be the best things to look for in this kind of flash? Love a bit of low end grunt, useable mid-range and impromptu wheelies.
Any information on what I should know and be asking for when I go in would be greatly appreciated!
Thank all.
