Flash Tuning: How it Works!
#1
This is the future; anyone wanting to know how ECU tuning is done, click away...

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gCp1BNHhS68]Flash Tune Explained

The other cool thing about the ECU tuners is that all of them, that I've heard about at any rate, offer a free lifetime reflash of your ECU if you modify the bike further, that is, if you do your reflash to a stock bike, and then later add a full system or slip-on, or whatever, you send your ECU back, tell them what you've done to your bike, and they'll reflash it again to match the new configuration.

Of course this is depending on them having a "flash" for your new setup; very easy with most sportbikes since there are a multitude of machines out there being tuned, but if your "flasher" is nearby, you can just run on over and they'll redo it for free. So your $499 gets you free "flashes" for the life of the bike.

Strewth! What a ring tailed rannygazoo! Seriously you blokes, that is Mr Red Mist and his pardner Mr Spaceman, amaze me. Great information. There are some minor (and gentlemanly) differences of opinion that are, I suppose, to be expected, but for those of us who still have Whitworth spanners, grease guns, points files and feeler gauges in our tool boxes this is New World 101. Thank you.

Cheers

Thankfully! Only thing I miss is the smooth throttle response of a well-sorted bank of CV carbs. Most EFI bike just can't achieve this and it requires a different riding style in the corners, getting the throttle cracked before the apex of the turn and playing the rear brake a bit on some machines.

Lol glad I was to give away my whitworth spanners when I sold my 69 Rocket 3, but I kept the common turners as they will fit any regular head screw lol.

My whole deal is just if I can pass on something that helps someone out, great. I have no dog in the hunt, I don't care to sell anyone on anything, but if somebody gets a tidbit of info here or there, that makes my day.

Tell me about it. I was rummaging through my toolbox the other day and came across my old dwell meter. I haven't seen a set of points in 15 yrs. Wonder if somebody on Ebay would want it Big Grin
