ECU Reflash, Power Commander, Autotune & Ignition Module Explained

In today's video I want to provide an explanation about some of the basics ECU mods or peripherals we add to motorcycles to makes them either safe or faster.
On this video I want to answer the following questions?
What are they?
How do they work?
Why do you need them?
Can you combine them?
What are the risks, advantages ir disadvantages?

Great video. Thank you for the info looking to get a similar setup

Thanks

I have a 2017 R nine T with headers no cats , k&N. Filter took about 40 off. Any idea what power commander to get Or glass ECU? I want to get the one the makes the most power. Thanks

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Hey Cafe Racer. Amazing bike, brother! I'd love to get one one day. I don't have a R Nine T, so my search is pretty basic. I found 2 options from reputable companies: - BrenTuning - They offer a diagnostic tool with the ability to flash at home for about $1000 USD. They offer 2 stages. - Vivid Racing - about 120 HP for $500 hp. Based on the info on the website, you need to send the ECU Power Commander - The initial cost is less than $500 but you will need to take the bike to a dyno to get the best bang for your buck. I explained this on the video, but I will go over this quickly. The re-flash is based on a bike that was tuned on a dyno. If you are in similar conditions to the bike that was used as a baseline, you will be golden. The reflash is more focused on eliminating restrictions and gaining power by tuning fuel to take advantage of the de-restrictions. The power commander might give you more power when you tune it at a dyno but the power commander will not remove restrictions such as injector on deceleration or speed limit, but the fuel map will be specific to your bike and that is key. Does that make sense? Did I answer your question?

Can you make a video how to do a wellie on your bike

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Hmmmmmm.....I will think about it. I am not a wheelie master, I have only done a few 2nd gear clutch ups. For the most part all my wheelies have been unintentional. This was before I lowered my bike almost 3 inches. Right now my bike is lowered almost 3 inches and it's strapped to avoid wheelies when launching. I am pretty sure I should be able to wheelie it but might be a bit trickier. I can try it though... no promises 😉

Any backfire when you use quickshifter up?

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Sometimes....Wondering if you want more backfires? I love those too....😃

[@cal525]

I know you recommend Moore Mafia for ECU reflash, but I am not living in the states, I cannot wait for the shipping. Can I just buy the ECU with the same part no to Moore Mafia to reflash, and I swap the ecu myself after the send it back?

[@ToModorNottoMod]

I don't see why not. I have never heard these bikes are paired with the VIN, meaning it shouldn't prevent you from swapping the ECU and still have the bike recognized the new ECU and to work on it. If I were you, I would reflash yours and use the other one as a backup. Let me know if you have questions.

Question with the ignition module

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Let me know if you still need help!

[@SquidOnGixxer]

So a powercommander or any of its add ons cannot remove the throttle valves restrictions or any other restrictions on my bike? But an ECU flash can easily get rid of those?

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Correct. Power Commander will help you fix your fueling, but will not change instructions written on your ECU regarding the operation of your throttle besides fuel. If you pair it with an Ignition module will also control timing and spark and you get other benefits but will not control the throttle valves. The ECU reflash have access to other parameter the Power commander simply has no access to.

@@ToModorNottoMod i have no dyno nearby or tuner anywhere near,how can i get my restrictions removed my from ecu,i have a daytona 675r

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Don't work on it just sell it to me 😃. The best bet is reflashing the bike by sending the ECU. Where are you located? I found a few places

[@ndiomanakeracing2912]

What's the top speed on your bike after the mods?

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Hey Claus great and valid question but honesly I dont know....it's complicated. I have never tested all of this mods on OEM gearing 17/44... For most of 2021 i have been riding -2 +3 which of course is suuuuuper agressive. I think the best thing (until I test it) I can tell you is with a horrible 60', i have done 132 miles per hour on the quarter mile with a time of 10.5 with the current gearing. Does that help?

[@ndiomanakeracing2912]

@@ToModorNottoMod not really.would be glad if you did a speedtest

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Will hook up my dragy one of these days but think about this, unless you have the same gearing I have this info will not be useful unless I had a pre mods and post comparisons. Will doit one of these days.

Can u help ?

[@dahjo13]

Good video, but I would suggest to ditch the music, it’s hard to understand what your saying over the music.

[@ToModorNottoMod]

Fair enough. Thanks for letting me know.

[@98SPRINGERFXSTS]

annoying background music...that'swhy

[@ToModorNottoMod]

I have learned. Valid point. I respect your comment sir.

@@ToModorNottoModit’s not that bad. Don’t be hard on yourself. Thanks for the informative video. Cheers
