Do I need Dyno?

Yeah right, imagine bringing bike into dealer saying it does not run right, and your ECU has been flashed, good luck.

They would laugh you out of the shop.

Oh hell, if there are no physical adjustments to be made then it's a lot easier. TunerPro needs the database tables for the ECU to know what is what in the chip. From there, pull off the stock map and use that as a base for further tuning.

For my Griso it takes about 15 minutes to pull the map off (and only three to push a new one). Some of the testers go off on test rides and reflash in mid ride. If only the software ran on an iPad.....

I've had it done to many bikes in the past. Yes, you can feel it. Without a PCV I don't think you can change much. If I lived in America I would have done it already
Unless you do track days or pick fights on the street, stock is fine.

What do you mean, "If I lived in America, I'd have done it already?"

thks!

Yet another misunderstanding.

Guhls will reflash your ECU back to stone stock for free if you need that done. It is as simple as pie.

If you have had your ECU reflashed and your motorcycle does not run correctly, the first step is to contact the vendor. Every reflash vendor with which I am familiar will update or correct a reflash for no charge after the initial reflash, for the life of the motorcycle.

If the problem is still unresolved and you wish to go to the dealer, just have the ECU reflashed back to stock.

This presumes the issue is with the ECU. Warranty law in most states read such that if a problem occurs in your transmission gears, for example, warranty service cannot be denied because you modified some unrelated system.

An illegal exhaust modification would have the same effect on the warranty as an ECU reflash; that would be none if the system affected was not adversely impacted by the change.

Thus if you put on a $1500 full Ti system and your brakes weren't working correctly, even though the Ti system is illegal as hell and violates every noise and emissions regulation imaginable (all whilst providing nowhere near the power and rideability improvements of a high-quality reflash), Yamaha would still have to correct your brakes.

I waited until my warranty was expired before doing the reflash, not necessarily by intention, it just worked out that way.

Factory warranties in the USA are only one year anyway.

I have the aftermarket intake and header pipes--as well as the power commander--but the shop mentioned that it is mapped for the oem parts. how does the commander deal with the aftermarket modifications? i assume it monitors and provides what the engine needs, but the map would be sort of 'off,'right?

it runs fine with the PCV map, so it's all good, right?
