2023 Yamaha R1 ECU Flash and Akrapovic Exhaust!

#Yamaha #R1 #ecuflash
This BRAND NEW 2023 Yamaha R1 made a visit to the shop for a full Akrapovic exhaust, BMC air filter and ECU flash/tune on the dyno! If you're wondering what motorcycle has the best sound? It has to be the Yamaha R1 with it's crossplane configuration. Add a full Akrapovic exhaust and you have the most aggressive sounding motorcycle ever! But do you need to tune your motorcycle after installing an exhaust? In short, no. BUT, if you don't, you run the risk of harming your engine due to it running extremely lean. This is where a full motorcycle ECU flash and tune comes in. We're able to dial your bike in to make sure that the Air/Fuel is correct across the board. Not only will this ensure smooth power throughout, but it will also make sure you're not harming your engine. Anyways, watch as we do a few modifications to this 2023 R1 and show you how much power you'll gain by installing an R1 exhaust and BMC filter.
Have a motorcycle you'd like to get tuned? Give us a call.

People that dont ride always worry about the max power your only at max power for a few seconds its all about mid range power and torque and how smooth the power comes on. This is coming from some one who has a 2020 s1000rr that makes 203 hp

[@ManojKumar-ra]

Ok

[@provenpowercycles]

Exactly. It's not always about peak but overall usable powerband. 👍

[@grashoper107]

But you still felt the need to mention, that you make 203 HP lol

[@The-walloper]

My R1 with full titanium akrapovic system and sprint filter with flash tune is a healthy 197hp at the wheel, after a near fatal crash in 2020 when I was cleaned out from behind by a speeding motorist high on cocain, I only cruise now even though I wasn't speeding on that day as I was around 10mph while slowing in reaction to crash ahead where this driver put me in the crash and also hit and killed a woman in a car after he hit me. I love bikes, but I don't use the power my bike has now, but I love how smooth the bike runs. Plus, I'm still suffering. Mentaly from the carnage I witnessed that day. I absolutely love the R1 sound with the akrapovic system, though ❤.

[@kennyq45]

Sup bro!! Glad to see you’re on KZbin! The track bike is still running well, thanks for the tune!

[@mauikawi4290]

This content is mint. I definitely like the explanation of tuning. keep up coming.

[@provenpowercycles]

Thank you ! 🙏

[@secretagentrandybeans5298]

The Crossplane Yammie R1 is my dream bike!! Soo happy to see someone doing content with one!

[@emmanuelnjeru7999]

Absolute scenes here

[@heavenlypatriarchDM]

I agree with the other comments, great video. Excellent explanation, very honest demonstration of how each step affected the bikes performance, and great overall conclusion. Well said brother!

[@provenpowercycles]

I appreciate that 🙏 we are trying to show real numbers and real effects that exhaust and other components have on the bike when you mod them! No one ever really explains this, so I figured I'd start showing it and explaining it as best as I can while keeping it simple

[@johnnybest6386]

Thanks for the presentation

[@provenpowercycles]

Yessir 🙏 we will keep providing top notch results as best as we can 🤟 thanks for the comment

[@perrywhitledge4005]

Smooth useful power!!! Most riders can’t deal with 200+ hp.

[@provenpowercycles]

I agree 100% 👍 Thank you for the comment

[@sergelandry73]

Great video with stock baseline then with the upgrades!!

[@provenpowercycles]

The last few videos we did we are incorporating stock vs modded! We're trying to show people exactly what you will make with x, y, and z on the bike and the differences. No fluffed up numbers here 🤟

[@lubetube.]

Like the videos brother keep them coming! I'm south of you. I'd love to get my bike on the dyno and see if there is room for improvements!

[@provenpowercycles]

Thank you for the good words! And what bike is it and what's done to it?

[@robertmach5714]

What a great video, thank you for sharing all the information. Bike's going lean with full exhaust system and high flow filter, but will that be the case if cat is gone and the air filter is stock?

[@lifewithmike1883]

nice work...liked commented and subscribed...I have been using C.Moore for my ecu flashes but you guys have built a good rep in the Tampa area, Im gonna give you guys a shot on my GSXS 1000 I just bought!!!!

[@provenpowercycles]

I appreciate it Mike! Moore is a good guy with lots of knowledge too! I just finally decided to come out of my shell a little bit and start advertising more 😅 we won't disappoint ya 🤙

[@juliuscarlopoblete2092]

head works is the next step in extracting huge chunk of power with the R1.. its also one of the upgrades and services the Yamaha GYTR offers... but it ain't cheap... nice content by the way...

[@provenpowercycles]

Yessir! 💪 these new bikes are getting crazy expensive to build ! But the new technology and power is bar none. 🤙

[@tref1013]

fantastic site, straight up knows his stuff...

[@provenpowercycles]

Thank you! 🙏

[@alejandrotobienne8220]

Might not mean much to you guys. But I really like how they take care of how they strap down these bikes. I don’t think I’ve seen another channel that uses cushion points to their strap downs. Or even weigh parts which most ask in the forums. 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@provenpowercycles]

I appreciate that man 🙌 we really do try to go over and beyond when working on bikes 🤙

[@TrippinBusa]

I almosted torched my 250 by not doing a power commander and changing to a shorter pipe and kn air filter but live and learn. Just stumbled across your channel this am. Hit that sub button everyone. Have an awesome day.

[@provenpowercycles]

I appreciate it bro! 🙏🙌 glad you saved the bike 💪💪

[@DREDDWORLD]

At one point in time it was hard to reach 180 horses with just an exhaust and filter most people were putting power commanders on their bikes and getting them tuned. This new generation of riders want to here high numbers because everybody wants to be the fast guy and can’t even handle the bike. Good video. I need to look back at your vids to see if you have a S1K

[@provenpowercycles]

I haven't done a video on the s1000rr yet. The software I utilize only supports up to 2021 ECUs and the ones I've had are 2022 and 2023 lol but in due time I will have a newer s1k video on here! 🙌

[@DREDDWORLD]

@@provenpowercycles I’ll be waiting

[@ulasima19]

Thank you for your video.A little question is if O2 sensor is disabled, how does the engine computer know the current combustion status and A/F ratio?

[@The-walloper]

I love the sound of my full titanium akrapovic system on my r1.

[@provenpowercycles]

It's a badass system! 🤙

[@Djzsolo]

As a suggestion I wouldn’t play music during the dump time the bike makes the music plus can hear the new exhaust but great job keep it up

[@provenpowercycles]

I appreciate the insight! I will pass the info along 🤙 thanks for the support! We will keep bringing new info to light as we progress 🙌

[@skywalker7517]

Another suggestion!! Why don't you show the tables a little, what you do with ignition timing,show what restrictions the bike has, other maps!!how you can remove limiter and decel fuel cut,stuff like that would be interesting for the viewers,it's not like you are showing your magic but a little insight of what you do to improve the maps

[@boostedninja]

❤

[@jtbhockey]

Have you ever had any experience with thr Austin Racing full exhaust on the R1's? I'm curious to see how they do in comparison to the Akra exhausts other than just straight db levels 😂

[@provenpowercycles]

Not the full system. We have done some comparisons on other bikes and the sc project slip ons with stock headers have out performed akrapovic full system a couple of times.

[@N0fix]

ECU remap is needed when you change mid pipe as well. If you went only for end pipe swap (without changing/removing the cat), ECU remap would not be needed. That's also why a lot of manufacturers say you don't need a remap. Nice video tough.

[@provenpowercycles]

Yes correct. We vet customers by this as well. If they still have a cat then I don't recommend tuning to them unless they plan on doing more to their rides 🤙

[@remsangachhakchhuak1738]

I wonder how it sounds with the aftermarket header, midpipe and stock muffler plus how much power it makes.

[@provenpowercycles]

We did something like this on a zx10r. Now I can't claim this on a R1 but on the zx10r it did not sound too great. The stock muffler definitely put off an odd sound with the cat deleted. I prefer the aftermarket slip on route with aftermarket header, or full system since the header/midpipe/muffler were designed together 👍

[@remsangachhakchhuak1738]

Thanks for replying, I just wanna mention I'm from Aizawl city in the North East of India .I'm a die hard r1/R1m fan.

[@provenpowercycles]

@Remsanga Chhakchhuak that's awesome! Crazy to see where everyone is from! We are located in Saint Petersburg, Florida in the US. Very cool!

[@Cheiz44]

What ECU reflash did you use? Is it the same for a 2024 yamaha r1?

[@provenpowercycles]

We utilize woolich racing software to flash our ecus. 🤙 and yes we have access to those ecus as well !

[@Cheiz44]

@@provenpowercycles do you use BT moto as well?

[@johnsimms3693]

How much do you charge to install exhausts, flash tune and dyno?

[@provenpowercycles]

It all depends on the exhaust and bike we are doing. We tell everyone to give the shop a call for any inquiries 🙌 727-256-0001

[@sergelandry73]

TI or Stainless headers you installed?

[@IamLaR1]

TI, but the stock is also TI

[@kebomotovibez8511]

How many break in miles before the flashing the ecu?

[@provenpowercycles]

Some people do it on a brand new bike. I usually recommend do the break in service first (usually 500 miles in) then it should be good to go

[@omarjassar4650]

How can the ECU adjust mixture without the sensors ??

[@provenpowercycles]

Because I am tuning on open loop. Closed loop is where the ecu is relying on the o2 sensors to make changes. That current system is flawed in my opinion and has issues where it will not keep the tune in an adequate range and, in turn, creates more issues than it's worth. Soon closed loop tuning utilizing the factory sensors will most likely take over in my opinion.

[@omarjassar4650]

@@provenpowercycles thank you , that was a very awesome and clear explanation

[@MikeBrown-tv1jf]

I plan on putting a mid pipe and slip on(catless) how long can i go without a tune? (Going maybe a week after) 2023 r1

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

Hi. I get it, been at this a long time too. The factory does what it does for a reason. The problem is warranty work and money. Really, the bike has plenty of useable power as it is, stock, and will have long term reliability. It will do 75 m.p.h. in first gear alone. I do not recommend those kinds of mods for a street bike. For Superbike racing, ok but not for the street.😮

[@zacharysmith7872]

Rsv4 sounds better but r1 is great

[@pc-easy]

no wayyyyy sir.r1 sound wayyyy meaner and is a lot more angry in power delivery...i own r1 but rode rsv4f several times

[@leadsled8961]

You need to explain a Dyno is a TUNING tool and really nothing more and to compare one dyno to another dyno is just a Ball Park Figure. Even though everyone wants big numbers and why some tunes just suck. Like short sweep time tunes.

[@jameskistner178]

I guess that’s why you can’t pronounce akraprovic
