ECU flash and dyno for my R1 - done

[Mo-Fo]

Hi peeps I recently ordered the flash kit from flash tune for my 09 R1 and handed it to Tokyo Motorsports for flashing and dynoing.

I pick the bike up tomorrow but tbh I'm not too sure what to expect on the dyno chart. Was hoping that a few here may have gone down a similar avenue and wouldn't mind posting up their results or even sharing their knowledge on what I should be expecting.

I'll post up my chart once I have it for others who may be thinking about it but for now it would be nice to have some comparison myself.

Cheers.

what else have you done to the bike, exhaust, cams, velociy stacks, AIS, nitrous?

[Mo-Fo]

Oh definitely nitrous

No, already on were Akro slip ons, PCV, BMC filter and -1 front sprocket. PCV will no longer be on.

I'm thinking not that much gain re HP but lower-mid torque should certainly be improved?

[Mr_Mike]

why did yu go the ecu flash over the PC V?

[Arwon]

147 to 152

dont most of those flash maps alter engine braking characteristic as well? im interested on what you think about that, ive always felt mine was snatchy on and off the gas its a bit of a prick of a bike to reliably pick up the gas smoothly mid corner.

[Arwon]

i have flashed a few bikes now and if you select Race ECU then you can reduce engine braking and some other features. On 07-08 R1's you can up the idle, and you can overlay a power commander map over the original which alows you to remove the PC

PC is just a fuel mapper with the one setting where as with the ecu flash every gear can be mapped differently if you want. Plus the flashing has many other options such as...
This Interface allows you to easily adjust the following!
Remove ECU Restrictions
Engine Braking adjustments
High Load Fuel Maps (with PC3 and PC5 map importing)
Low Load (cruising) Fuel Maps
Fuel Injector Proportioning
Ignition Timing
Immobilizer Function
Cooling Fan Temps
Rev-Limiter Control
Remove Top Speed Limiter
ECU Based Quick-shifting
Speedometer Calibrations
and new features are added regularly... -

Yep they can adjust engine braking too although tbh the engine braking doesn't bother me like it does others so I told them leave it as is. What I have told them to do is smooth out the throttle from off to on in 1st gear as small roundabouts and tight turns are a bit of a bitch.

147 to 152

Arwon I'd be somewhat disappointed with that so I'm going to say more. But how much I don't know.


Looking forward to tomorrows results for sure.

[Arwon]

Dynos can be configured to read just about anything. Where we get a lot of Dyno work done the figure I stated would be about right.

Dont be too disappointed , it's how it gets the power down that's important.

[Noelius]

A wise man once told me horsepower is over rated until you get the beast tamed as it stands, Arwon , not a bad idea to smooth out the throttle response tho

[Mr_Mike]

Hmmm interesting reading. So what years can u flash and who can do it?

I'm lookin to get a 07-08 R1 and doing just basic mods exhaust baffles, cat elim, filter and a quickshifter. If I can get away without having to spend the extra on a PCV that would b great!!

[Rennis]

Had mine done on the 2012 recently, removed the cat and fitted a quick shifter Still need to get a dyno done.
Any recommendation on where to go and the price id be looking at?

cheers

Also looking to get a tuner myself to add maps and make adjustments.

[Arwon]

The best way to do it is to, fit all your bits, borrow a power commander, flash the ecu, dyna tune , flash the ecu again with the map overlaid then check again. You can wire a quick shifter direct into the ecu, or pay the $500 on a strain gauge HPM unit which is stand alone.


Not hard to do, it just depends on the tuner

We use Paul at Chain Reaction Motorcycles for dyna work. He always impresses

[Mr_Mike]

What quickshifter sensor is used with the stock ecu?

[Rennis]

Yeah have all the gear fitted,quickshifter is direct to the ecu
I'll give the guys at chains a call
Cheers for that
