2017 FZ09 MT09 Full Exhaust ECU Flash Dyno Tune Results

[@hubert1142]

The info you provide on your channel is priceless, you deserve more subs. Keep up the great work!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Hubert Baron thanks!

[@dectro1]

I agree!

[@Kelvinsterio]

Cant agree more

[@AudioheavenDenmark]

Sounds much better with the baffle in..so much smoother sounds and more crispy

[@FRob911]

The most difference you can have for any bikes, it's the weight loss. I'm weighing 175 lbs and my friend is 250 and so much difference on any of our bikes! Iit's free and good for the environment 😉

[@Motofreebird]

Dude, super grateful as this was super clarity to my 2017 pre-mod-wise! Thank you for all the individual details and nuances to each level and change (baffle in and out most esp), sharing this is extremely nice for the rest of us FZ owners!! Cheers! ; )

[@xvxyz6408]

Thank you so much for all the informative videos that you've put up. I am getting a new fz 09 soon and your video totally clears my doubt. 👍

[@ixfeet5686]

agree man. The guy made such an informative video, much respect

[@robertoconner4041]

Got the Yoshimura R-77 as well, mainly because of the “baffle in no flash” statement lol. Baffle out is obnoxious. I do ride a 2018 FZ-09 and this video was the deciding factor.

[@th7321]

I'm a new subscriber and very much enjoy your content. As a former FZ-09 and FJ-09 who now has had an FZ-10 since July your content is close to pushing me to get an 2017 FZ-09 as a second bike. Yours sounds simply glorious. Thanks for taking the time to put the videos up.

[@centralcoastin7414]

Wow, super informative, I bet that was a cool experience like you said. I've been riding for 1 1/2 months and I picked up my 2017 FZ-09 last month, AMAZING first bike, all about self control and not being a idiot haha

[@ImNotStalkingYou]

You bought a 100+ hp bike for a starter bike? Dual sports are a nice place to start..on dirt. Statistically people who ride dirtbikes for a few years before streetbikes are much less likely to crash

[@frankstocker5475]

I get exactly the same continues droning noise, but it's only when the girlfriend is on the back.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Lol

[@waynep4256]

😂😂😂 I like that..

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Either the dyno reads differently or other tuners have been able to get a good bit more. Usually 115 whp and 65 torque. Overall gains are much less critical than all the non-numeric improvements such as throttle behavior, injector cut, gear-based power restrictions, fan-on temp, air-fuel ratio improvements, ignition restriction improvements, TB butterflies behavior, speed limiters, PAIR valve/exhaust valve/O2 sensor disable, and other issues.

[@ttmadness34]

All dynos are different. Only way to see how your bike changes is to take it in stock to get a Dyno run, do your mods and take it back to see where it's at. Tbf figures mean very little. For me it's all about getting the fueling right.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Pretty much

[@jb4aybar]

ijust got my full exhhaust from black widow and did need to remap of flash sound great and is about half price fully recomended

[@AmenCornerRider]

Wow, at start up w/out baffle, it sounds sooo good! Watching you ride made me want to get on my bike and GO... darn it, I'm enjoying a cocktail, so no-can-do. Yah, what Hubert said.😋

[@justaordinaryguy]

Super helpful. You've left no questions unanswered. Thanks so much!

[@dustinturner7662]

Great Video and information! It's very helpful to get some solid data showing how much work Yamaha has put into the 2017+ ecu. Some of the theory is the baffle is allowing the lambda sensor to have a stable environment to adjust the fuel air mix more than the +/- 10% on previous years

[@robertpowers9063]

PC is 100% needed with a full exhaust and choppy throttle response like on the 2016 GSXS-1000. Yamaha spent a lot of time and money re flashing the FZ ECU on the newer 2017 model. Save a ton of money because a Slip on for sound is all you need!

[@mikecallaghan6377]

Best review I have seen thanks for the honesty

[@plumberjoe80]

David is a true pro! My bike is a fire breathing dragon thanks to him!

[@basicrandon2828]

Just getting into the scene of motorcycles and came across a few of your videos, due to me researching stuff about my bike ('18 MT-09), and I enjoyed the clear information and subtle metaphors in your explanations. I am a fairly new rider and am learning more and more about the motorcycle scene with videos such as yours. Came to say thank you with this along with the Like and Subscribe being hit. I don't do these things that much to other channels UNLESS they give me feedback like your content. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, Aloha

[@basicrandon2828]

The bike is pre-owned and bought it from a dealer and the bike had a full Yoshi exhaust with no dB killer inserted. That's all I could tell for motor-wise. Other things like bar end, and aftermarket front/back blinkers were already installed, which would be the main buying points for me.

[@Ta3kno]

I dynoed my MT-09 as well. Full R-77 exhaust system and ECU flash. Stock was 114 hp and 59 ft lb at the rear wheel. With the exhaust (baffle in) and ECU tune it was 121 hp and 66 ft lb. It's a 2014 MT-09 so the difference in throttle smoothness is phenomenal compared to stock. The torque curve is smoother and more linear, no sudden drops or irregularities. That is what makes the most difference combined with the smooth throttle response. You don't really notice the extra power when riding it on the road. I suggest leaving the baffle in as it's already loud enough for public roads. Had to learn to use ear plugs with this exhaust! It seems to have a very deep tone at low revs which hurts your ears when you ride it in the city long enough.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Ta3kno gotta love those ‘magic’ dynos ;)

[@Ta3kno]

Granted, it was not a DynoJet dyno. The tuner said it all depends on what dyno system you run and he doesn't like DynoJet and that it's different from his. It all depends on the conditions so each dyno pretty much gives different results. And of course every single bike is a little different, some might have 2 hp more or less than the next one. The mechanic has been working on Yamaha motorcycles for 20 years now. He engineered and created his own system, so he handcrafted the ECU flash for my MT-09 from start to finish.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Ta3kno lol it’s only rated 115 at the crank from the factory...

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Ta3kno and I guarantee he flashed with woolich or ftu like everyone else. Don’t believe the bs.

[@Ta3kno]

Yeah, I don't really care about the numbers as I stated before. That's just what I got, I'm not an engineer. The big difference is the throttle response and the torque curve. But there are still bikes that have been measured way over what the factory promises, for example GSX-S1000. The guy who owns a channel called Fast FZ09 had measured something like 125-130 hp from his FZ-09 with R-77, ECU tune, Graves block off plates and an airbox mod. But again, I just wanted to get the best out of my MT-09 by tuning the ECU after installing the exhaust. And it totally fixed the throttle issue and overheating.

[@jeramiebentley4054]

Im leaving my 19 alone exhaust wise. I put a pipe on my super charged seadoo and the drone is mind numbing. BTW love south florida especially sanibel island. I'm from gulf shores Alabama .

[@SirMountainpass]

The Akrapovic full exhaust system with the the baffle and cat in is the way to go. 115 whp @ 10’800 rpm.

[@steve-wu7jp]

That is plenty power for this type of bike, if you want more than you guys need to buy a liter bike. Thanks for posting this video. The older I get I cannot handle the baffle out on sport bikes, its just annoying on long trips.

[@inline9jake858]

Haha even up here in Canada, I recognize David Verdecchia. All hail Vcyclenut! 👌

[@dremyofit6719]

so true, my 2014 dynojet job on my Fast -zone 09 made it a brand new bike, a must for that model. 💝🎯with my full exhaust system.

[@daytrading5456]

Great video. Trying to find time to head down to David to have my PCV removed and Flash done. Heading down from Clearwater Beach.

[@richardguillot6539]

Perfect vid and spare a lot of time ! thanks for sharing !! So for the Yoshi baffle in, no need to flash the ecu and still gain a bit of HP and a smoother thottle response. but what if it is another exhaust system or a slip on? we can t figured out the result unles doing a dyno test or riding with it i guess...?

[@weemankyle]

Thank you for putting the results in the description. Liked and subbed just for that.

[@kevinmorrison6938]

You almost solved it. It is the resonate frequency of your vibrating helmet - caused when the exhaust's pressure waves hit your helmet. I am pretty sure anyway. Tests with different helmets will likely be different if true. ..gone or at a different rpm. It sounds great to me! :)

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Ah, no. It's clear just standing next to it. I heard it for hours on the Dyno too.

[@Carguylogan]

I picked up a 2014 FZ09 recently and it has some full system with a skinny, short muffler. It's hardly a muffler at all. Loud. I picked up a stock system for the bike and it's MUCH nicer to ride. I felt a power loss for sure as the bike would always pull the front tire in first gear at WOT no matter what when it had the loud exhaust. With the stock exhaust I can go full throttle in first without wheelying sometimes.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Yeah it’s the twin cats that soak the power

[@grysnlvfr]

Love the fz video's, bought a new 2017 fz09 a week ago and was thinking about getting an m4 slip on but was worried about the fueling being good. Sounds like it would be fine if i leave the baffle in. Thanks for posting these video's! I'll be interested in what tires you chose when its time for new ones.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

I have a set of Road 5 waiting in the garage

[@ImNotStalkingYou]

Wow thanks! I have a 2014 and yeah, the fuel delivery is not very good but I'm used to it now. Guess I'll spend my money on gear and suspension

[@MrTheSmidget]

Really appreciate the clarity

[@AmenCornerRider]

OK, it sounds great with the baffle in as well. 👍🏼

[@Idividezero]

I know this bike would be horrible as a first bike (even at 290lbs at 4000+ ft altitude), but every time I hear one especially with the Yoshi pipe, I really want one.

[@ratchieleyvas720]

Idividezero. If u can. Just get some more riding experience before u buy the FZ09. It was my first street bike and I luv it. Although I'm only, 5'5/165lb.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Idividezero it's all about self control. I started on a new FJR and believe me it's more of a handful ;)

[@robells6759]

Brian, I'm wondering which is the quicker bike between the FZ09 and FJR?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

0-30 the FZ from there it's not even a contest.

[@AudioheavenDenmark]

Awesome video. I just got the 2017 mt 09 to. Will put on same exhaust after 600 miles break in. My tech also told me its a waste of time flashing the 2017. Cause the ecu will adjust it's selv after a couple of pulls...

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Kenneth Jensen your tech is a moron.

[@THUvidz]

Gibberish

[@lilremylote]

Nice stuff man, I'm really close to you, I got Two brothers full exhaust on my gsxr600 and I put back my baffle because it was WAY too LOUD, I still need to Tune mine , Cool stuff keep it up 💪🏼

[@michaelodd3541]

Great channel, very informative and glad I subbed. Small question...did your aftermarket exhaust affect your fuel mapping or is the standard ECU able to cope?

[@tomfjr3872]

Hooligan !!! That bike is a blast to ride it seems. Have fun.

[@sailingyemaya9781]

Good video, I will get that same exhaust for my 17 FJ-09. Probably pass on the tune. I would always use the baffle

[@smookinz4747]

With the akra on my xsr900 titanium ..it's very loud without the baffle with no drone ... If I insert the baffle it's very quiet good to pass emissions test every year ..

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

That Snap,crackle ,Pop sounds amazing tho💯👌

[@julianfsg6966]

Well that was really helpful, very nice and clear. Thank you.

[@shanebrady8776]

Hello. Did you notice a loss of any low-end power, or any flat spots in the torque curve at all, prior to the ECU flash? I have the same bike in black (2019), and really like this exhaust. Thanks for your time and videos. Your explanation afterwards regarding the value of the flash was very informative.

[@apollosport2895]

Can u get it tuned to make those crackles and pops everytime you let off the throttle

[@LOOKWHATISEEHERE]

Great videos by the way. Thank you very much for your content. Subscribed.

[@westy373]

Thanks man! Appreciate the detail.

[@auntiehalo4389]

Wow! Very informative! Thanks for the great video! So basically, a ECU re-flash won't achieve as much power gain as 2013-2016 model? I have a 2017 Euro-spec MT-09 with Akarprovic Titanium full exhasust & K&N filter, wonder if it is worthy to invest in some piggyback system like Power Commander V or Rapidbike EVO. Would you mind sharing your insight on those system? By the way, what kind of fuel are you getting in USA? The only fuel available in my country is 98 RON.

[@DarrenNY81]

So your saying if you have a 2017 you probably shouldn’t flash the ecu after installing a full system exhaust? Just got a 2017 fz09. Getting a exhaust installed next week.

[@sergioalvarez4573]

Thanks for the info. Love the channel!!!

[@RaytheonNublinski]

It’s like people don’t realize Yamaha extensively tests and designs that stock exhaust. It’s not a dog. It’s a good exhaust it’s just quiet because of legal requirements.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No one said otherwise

[@yippyyaiyei]

Thanks for all the valuable info. Your's is without a doubt, the best channel for the FZ/MT09. I have the 2016 model. Do you think that if I flash my ECU that it will bring valuable improvements?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

100%

[@5eaTurtlez]

Hey man, great video! I just got my ECU flashed by Dave as well. I have the exact same setup as you...Yoshi R77 on a 2017 FZ 09. How did you find your fuel economy? I found that my bike has become a pig on fuel! I used to get around 225Km before fuel indicator starts blinking. Now, I get around 170Km and I'm blinking. I'm usually running around my baffle in. What are your thoughts?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No change here, I get 45 MPG with a heavy hand.

[@secondsquared4361]

it's a race exhaust. the drawback of putting the baffle in is losing HP, which you need when racing. Ear plugs work wonders

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+SecondSquared which is why I wear them.

[@robbyrus]

So, I have a 19 MT09 and I want to put a full yoshi r77 exhaust on it. Do I need to get a flash if I plan on keeping the baffle in or do I need to either way? Thanks and great video!

[@nathanpage6188]

Hey man did you find an answer? I am in a similar place with my bike

[@Charlie-qb4sy]

I have a 2015 full Akra exhaust, the drone was crazy loud until I put the baffle in. yours pops a lot on deceleration. I don't get that, maybe it's the different years.

[@LOOKWHATISEEHERE]

So on the 2017 model, I can run a full exhaust without any flashing at all as long as I keep the baffle in? Correct?

[@lonelycorpro1]

ART R not, not a full exhaust. Not unless your okay with potentially shorter engine life from overheating

[@jerryp1392]

You dont have to flash you just need a power commander 5, and have a mechanic tune it with a computer. You dont need to put it on a dyno machine.

[@ckbun]

Jonathon Hittel do we still need a flash if the bike got “tuned”?

[@MikeValentine85]

your videos are the best. Love your stylr

[@Swissalchemist]

Really great content here. Thanks for the video and details. To be clear, does this change the throttle response on a 2017? I test rode one and my body was falling forward and backward because it's so touchy. Does a tune smooth that out some or not so much?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

That's completely up to how you order it, it can be flashed to your specifications

[@Swissalchemist]

Interesting. Good to know. Thank you

[@beatsByZlaja]

Oh man, I was like "this guy...where do I know him from?" Then I remembered, my favorite cigar channel - cigarobsession. Great content.

[@brendantuomey3910]

hey i know u did a seat review but how did it feel after 6 hours of riding in one day? I hate this stock seat 40-50 miles and im toast. Also as far as the exhaust do you still hear the intake growl with the new exhaust? mine is stock and i love that intake sound when u get on it. I would think that the loud exhaust baffle in or out might take that away. Love your videos btw!!!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

The intake sound is definitely overshadowed but you still have the same noises from the exhaust - non issue :) I can only say that 3 hours in the seat was flawless, at a time, with just one fuel break in the middle each time.

[@ne0_r1d3r5]

So if id get a full exhaustsystem for example the street legal acra system with the baffle in and a catalyst in a flash wouldnt be necessary?

[@nathanpage6188]

Did you find an answer to this??

[@ulfpetersson7209]

Love your videos! Keep it up. Do i must flash ecu with baffle in?

[@Kriley9591]

Im just buying the m4 slip on

[@nathanpage6188]

Hey I am thinking the same thing, did you do any flashing?

[@donaldmartin2302]

Hey guys I have a 14 fz09 with a full m4 carbon and it def should be tuned after. I bought it without it tuned and my bike doesnt run right without the tune

[@vinnychoff]

Thanks for your videos, very detailed. I have just bought a 2017 mt09. As you say that drone noise is very weird, I am still running mine in at the moment but also looking around at exhausts. I was probably going for the akropovic although have a soft spot for the yoshimura systems. on their site they do not list a exhaust for them? thanks again

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+vinnychoff it's the R77. I got it from revzilla

[@normandegeorge6526]

I know you didn't go through all this for two HP but that's a lot of time and probably money just for 2HP which I assume is why most people do it! It does look and sound awesome though and that's why you did it so.. good job! Ride safe!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Norman De George you misread. 10 hp

[@normandegeorge6526]

TwoWheelObsession oops, sorry😬

[@HPTechHelp]

TwoWheelObsession your video is worded extremely poorly with the dyno sheets that’s why so many people were confused in this comment thread.

[@mikes2270]

Very informative. Perhaps you mentioned it and I missed it, but what was the difference in torque going from OEM to full Yosh, then with ECU flashed? And did baffle in versus out affect torque?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Only 1-2 lbs./ft. for both.

[@r6mt09]

Talking about baffle-in or baffle-out setup. I just bought a used 2018 MT09 with a full Akrapovic exhaust and the previous owner said it was tuned by the dealer. I assume the tune was done without the battle. What I want to know is if i decide to run the bike on a long trip with the baffle-in would i have to re-tune or it doesn’t matter at all like the video stated? Knowing that it is a different brand exhaust and are all tune basically the same weather it is tune by A or B or Z tuning company??????????

[@secondsquared4361]

sorry I keep commenting at different intervals of your video, not even sure you see these! what kind of helmet do you use? that Yoshi sounds phenomenal!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+SecondSquared rf1200

[@weemankyle]

Strange that you mention drone, I have the same full yoshi system on my 17 fz09 with mo baffle and I experience no drone

[@blurglide]

All that time and money for a couple horsepower and lots of noise? Stock exhausts are great these days.

[@ratchieleyvas720]

Just as I suspected. All looks and sound. Minimal insignificant power gains. Ill keep my stock system for now. Getting on the gas hard and not drawing attention, is how I like it!!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Ratchie Leyvas I think you misunderstood. Yes the flash is minimal at 2hp but the exhaust alone was 10 even on a stock ecu. That's not minimal, that's almost a 10% gain.

[@ratchieleyvas720]

TwoWheelObsession. Oh ok, I did miss that. I guess since Im only 5'5/165lbs. Its plenty fast for me. My upgrades went into the suspension. RaceTech fully adjustable fork kit and rear shock. Its a 2015

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Ratchie Leyvas luckily the 2017 suspension is very upgraded stock now

[@justaordinaryguy]

TWO: What do you weigh and did you tune your suspension? I'm 190 and had my suspension professionally tuned. I think the shock compression is a little to weak for my weight. Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+justaordinaryguy 250 and yes, see my full how to from a few weeks ago.

[@MakTheSank]

Very nice video. Explains everything excellent. If i get a Yoshimura slip on with baffle in will i need an ECU flash?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No

[@MakTheSank]

great! thanks for the quick reply.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

You should get a fuel module and a generic map if you swap full exhaust. Stock ECU isn't able to adjust more than a few % air/fuel ratio without requiring a piggyback module. It's not a joke messing around with fueling and air (intake or exhaust). Quick way to destroy an engine when it runs lean. With a flash, you have the benefit of removing the electronic speed limiter (if that's your thing), adjusting fan-on temps, ignition curves (if necessary), secondary flies (if necessary), adjust quick-shifter times, and a whole host of parameters. I'm sure Yamaha has really cleaned things up. I'd be disappointed in the speed limiter personally.

[@MakTheSank]

@@exothermal.sprocket Kinda makes sense to have a speed limiter on a powerful naked bike tho. I know its a bit of a bummer but i see it as a safety feature. No stabilizer , no wind protection and kinda soft suspension really not a great combination for going more than 225km/h. I do not get why Yamaha does it, but i feel like they are taking care of me/us x). Also yamaha sells an Akrapovic exhaust with cat in it, that only gives 2,5 HP and is only 2kg lighter, you think the bike will run lean with it? It doesn't say it needs a ECU reflash and that exhaust doesn't even stops the warranty. I have a 2018 Yamaha-MT 09 SP (only sold in eu) and i'd like a bit more sound and horsepower, but the bike still has 9-10 months of warranty. You think the OG akrapovic will be enough? its not cheap it cost 1.000$+ , while race exhausts are cheaper and give more.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

@@MakTheSank Frankly 135 mph is illegal anywhere at any time. Yet people do it. And speaking from the perspective of physics and science, it's really stupidly easy to do that speed with total and absolute lack of danger. But on this bike the suspension and steering stability is rubbish. Get that sorted out with a shock, cartridges, and stabilizer and 130 is easy and stable. Using another naked bike for perspective, a reflashed GSX-S1000 can do big numbers without wobbling and floating about. 1290 Super Duke R is another. Tuono 1100 is another. S1000R is another. Just depends on the rake/trail of the front forks, swingarm angle of the rear wheel, quality of damping circuits front and rear, and proper spring rates for the rider. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGi3foWOoMSroJo

[@SmokeDoinks420]

having a nice sounding bike is good, but so is baffle in

[@tomquinn607]

Good man. No BS!

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the video.

[@platatrish]

Thanks for the honest info

[@osamaabdulla4435]

Bro I just notice some thing your after market lever don't have the kill switch feature because under the clutch cable there is a small kill switch I have the same thing The gear change become more hard will changing the gear and the eco gone from the dash Try to re install the stock clutch lever and see the deferent specially the pop will be much less ,smooth gear change and the best thing the fuel economy will the much better , try to install the stock clutch lever and see the difference,looking forward to hearing from you bro

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+osama abdulla no, none of that is accurate.

[@osamaabdulla4435]

Alright Best regards

[@dondempsey7113]

Re the exhaust ECU flash tune: I am confused. I've just purchased a 2017 MT 09 (Australia) and an Akrapovic Carbon, which is not yet installed. I assumed that I would have to get the ECU flashed to match the Akra, but your video seems to imply that the ECU would have handled the Yoshi without flashing. Only the AIS plates are rquired. Correct? Related question: Mr B's Brain Dump video shows how to change the mixture on a 2016 model with an Akra using the dash menu. Is this applicable to the 2017 FZ09? Did you investigate this possiblity before getting it dyno'ed? (PS. Keep up the great work - it's much appreciated!)

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Don Dempsey ais is completely personal preference blocked or not. Leave the baffle in and your stock Ecu works just fine. The dash change isn't even in the same ballpark as a full tune/flash which does all throttle positions loads and gears. But again, only needed as far as the engine goes is you run baffle out.

[@dondempsey7113]

Thanks for your super quick response. A dyno tune costs about $400 here. I gather that the fueling can programmed into the ECU without a $500 Power Commander or Bazzaz unit (which wasnt the case on my old GSXR). In the meantime I'm searching for a chart for the Akrapovic Carbon fuelling so that I compare it against the standard MT09. I'll then decide whether its worth the money/trouble to send the ECU for a map, or to just fiddle with the dash settings. Thanks again!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

You don't need a dyno tune. I had it done because my bike was the first in the world done with the software so they could create the new maps top sell to everyone else. All you have to spend is a couple hundred to have your ECU flashed, nothing else.

[@chitownbikerboymotovlog467]

TWO - but you said in the video that you are still glad you did the flash (baffle in or out) due to the air/fuel ratio being too lean and to get it into a "safe rich range." Therefore, wouldn't the ECU flash (or other tune) be needed, regardless with a full system?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Chitown BikerBoy: Motovlog no, I'm glad because now I can switch back and forth when I want to.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

To be honest we cannot feel the drone on our speakers. Not even a lot of difference between baffle in and out. I think it is a resonance thing and can only be felt real life as you said. So summing up you are saying that no flashing is actually needed when fitting a full exhaust and leaving the baffle in is a good idea so it doesn't get rambunctious.

[@ConditionSix]

So you can install a full exhaust system with out baffle on a stock ECU and gain 11 horsepower? If so that's pretty amazing with the stock ecu!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

That's pretty standard for a full exhaust. Most out there are just slipons - very different.

[@ConditionSix]

Just out of curiosity have you tested air filters and potential further gains with aftermarket air filters on this bike?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+ConditionSix the stock filter is not a bottleneck it's been tested for years.

[@hanifahmadi2589]

So meaning to say do i need to adjust ecu if i use full system exhaust without baffle to gain my optimum stock-like fuel consumption

[@wayneburton440]

I guess the biggest thing is great sound and 10lbs weight loss and looks sweet..

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Uh, and the almost 10% HP increase ;)

[@wayneburton440]

TwoWheelObsession I'll take that also. lol great videos by the way. love your channel.

[@wayneburton440]

that will work as well.. :)

[@Nobe616]

Yeah I'm still not convinced about getting your bike tuned after putting on an exhaust but great video

[@ridingwithsam]

Nobe616 how can you not be convinced? It's not all about the gains, you won't get huge gains on a naturally aspirated engine. It's about engine care, running lean is incredibly bad for your engine

[@DA2THFA1RY]

The guy doing the dyno runs is hella jacked... In all seriousness though, does drone affect your hearing with ear plugs in? Does it cause damage, or is it something to not worry about?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

It's volume+duration that does damage. With my ear plugs in it certainly limits it, but I would not want it there over time.

[@hANNAbONE]

I have been away for a while. Do you still have the red 2014(?) FJR? Did you trade it for this FZ09? I have been looking at the new 18 MT09 & MT10. So you are loving the FZ09? Nice video...Subbed

[@TwoWheelObsession]

I have both and love them

[@kellyj5389]

Agreed completely about not noticing horsepower gain or loss a a few digits. I have a civic si. That I flashed. It gained maybe 7 I think according to Dino stats. It wasn't worth it. Can't notice that. My question. Is. When would you notice? Say 15 hp? What is your opinion of noticeable gain or loss.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+kelly j I think 10% is a realistic value on the butt dyno ;)

[@SamKikaCBR]

Hi! just a 2HP gain? Shouldn't be more?... Looking on the unlimited map for the 2017 fz09/mt09 I can see huge variations on the ETV, and FUEL vs. RPM. I'm talking about P/N:BS2-8591A-00 , did you flash based on this map, or it was tuned from stock map? good things besides the HP gain: AIS disabled, fan control e is better, default to A mode.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

The ftecu website is not updated/accurate. The 2017 has completely different options. As I went though in the video.

[@kuiperdasniper]

You mentioned the only time it would really be beneficial on a 2017 and up is if I have a full exhaust system because I will want to get rid of the lean mapping. Is it possible to take the lean spots out with a power commander and a tune? Not many people can tune through ecu, so it might be easier to use a power commander with a local tuner.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Yep

[@trevormorton8415]

Thanks for the video. So full exhaust you recommend a flash so she won't run lean. Would you recommend for just a slip on?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+MotoMorton nothing is needed for slipons

[@trevormorton8415]

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate the DIY videos.

[@TheMrWadikus]

@@TwoWheelObsession I realize this is 3 years ago but in the video you said if you run a full exhaust (lets say a Akra Carbon) and you keep the DB killer in.. then no need for reflash on 2017 and up correct?

[@snizfpv8383]

did you have the ECU flashed before going to the dyno ? or did they flash and tune the bike while you were there?

[@snizfpv8383]

and so your suggesting there's no point to flash.. just getting it tuned if you get a full system.

[@ziondanny7081]

You might find the Bose noise cancelling ear buds do a good job of getting rid of the annoying drone - better than foam earplugs.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

#1 they are illegal here (and most states) and buds are not comfortable to me at all. Foam are all day comfy. Baffle in took care of everything.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Hmmm...... seems I've seen 115+ and 65+ with the 2016 or older bikes on a lot of online dynos. Don't remember if it was SAE or STD scale. SAE should be used these days. Perhaps it's temps or altitude that's registering less. Dyno's vary from one to the next as well.

[@digitjim7592]

G'day TwoWheelObsession. Subbed, great content keep up the good work. I hope your enjoying the new 2017 FZ/MT-09. I've got a 2016 FZ/MT-09 (Color: Gun metal gray.) Which I love & hate so..., I fitted it with a heap of upgrades; Ohlins FGR 300 Front shock, Ohlins STX 36 Hypersport Rear shock, (Carbon fiber: Rims, Handlebars, Front & Rear guards along with other bits and pieces.) Stage 3 Garret Turbo with a custom made Inter-cooler allowing me to gain a 9.5psi boost, DNA Air filter, Power Commander V with Power Commander Auto tune, Power Commander Quick shifter, Sigma Slipper clutch, Brembo M50 Front calipers, Brembo Axial Rear Billet 4x24 Caliper. With all the mods I've taken 15.8Kg's/34.83 Pounds off the bikes weight and gained 130hp giving me a total of 240hp from the 110hp stock. I love riding it around town & taking it into the city being that I live about an hours drive from Sydney & from time to time I either take it to the track or to the drags depending on how I feel, no matter what I do it's an awesome bike to ride and a wheelie monster at that, even in B mode it can start to be a handful but not to bad which I use for heavy traffic & filtering, but A Mode is a scream & smile mode, which I use most of the time & absolutely love.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+DigItJim awesome project! If we had a close track I would also have a wild ride!

[@digitjim7592]

Thank you for the reply. I think you would love a wild ride, if you ever made it over to Aus I'll hook you up for a ride on mine. ;-)

[@yippyyaiyei]

DigItJim G'day mate, Holy shit! That's absolutely manic! Do you have to say a little prayer before you ride that beautiful monster of yours? I also have a 2016 MT 09, but I have the Race Blue (tank is in grey but rims and front shocks in blue). The only mod/extra I have is the MT09 Full Akrapovic Exhaust system which provides a really awesome sound. For me, my bike has enough power and speed to get the adrenaline flowing and put a smile on my face. Also, if I do any more mods, it will be to improve the safety elements, i.e. upgrade the suspension and brakes. But I must say, i really admire and I'm really impressed as to what you've done to your baby. It's like something out of a Mad Max movie. And if you have the skill to ride it hard(it seems that you do), then it must be better than sex. 😁 Stay safe.

[@lonelycorpro1]

DigItJim Jesus man! Can you post a video of something explaining your mods??!!

[@heliosilva7679]

Hi, which software did you use for the Tuning? Thanks.

[@DeathWolf4584]

i realy want to add this exhaust on my fz-09 2017 , if i keep the baffle in do a realy need to flash and dyno tune it ?

[@bryanwilliams4620]

Do You wear hearing protection when You ride? Very good videos BTW!

[@eastbaymauiboy]

Good stuff, very educational overall. I'm a little confused about the fzo9 flashes versus the xsr flashes. if the 2016 xsr flash is the same as the 2016 fzo9 or if they gave the 16 xsr has the same flash as they would give the 17 fzo9 a year later. yeah LOL, it's very confusing. like I said in at least one of your other posts, I do have the 2016 xsr900 with the Vcyclenut flash and full Akra exhaust. runs great but does have a flaw with the idle.

[@eastbaymauiboy]

Oh, some of what makes it confusing is that they did put the improved suspension on the 2016 xsr 900 but not on the 2016 fz-09 from what I gather. so I wonder if they did the same thing with the ecu's. Wow!, now my head's throbbing. maybe someone out there can give some insight

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+EastBay MauiBoy the 2017 fz is a unique ecu and suspension, neither is the same as the xsr.

[@frissonsmith]

TwoWheelObsession , how is the decel when you role off throttle in 3rd and lower? I'm trying figure out if I can get this smoothed out for my xsr.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Engine braking is perfect. It's the same as any other great modern bike.

[@truckinnuttz7038]

im thinking of adding a slip-on. to bring up the sound. i find the sound will alert those in four wheelers that im on the road. its a safety issue up here in the nyc area. my question is will i need a flashing should i add a slip-on. by the way good vid

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No

[@dorianrodizza3874]

With this experience what would you recommend for a 2010 FJR? Mechanically mine is stock but I would love to have a lower rumbling exhaust note. Mine has plenty of HP and I don't think 2-4 HP increase would net much improvement.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

#1 it would take a full exhaust and power commander and a dyno tune to change power. #2 there are a ton of slip ons available, you just have to go with what looks and sounds good to you.

[@myduffly]

Hi, have you any idea, where to pick up a good rpm signal for further processing? Or do you know where they picked up the signal for the dyno tune? Greetings

[@TwoWheelObsession]

It was one of the ecu wires at the harness

[@maximevaulch]

Are you running on close loop or did they leave the o2 sensor ?
