I want to get my 2016 Yamaha FZ6R flashed. Can I send it to you?

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

Ya, contact FastByFew to get your ECU flashed @ instagram.com/fastbyfew/

[@haqi9fly]

Lol I have an Fz6r too but I lowered the front and put woodcraft clip ons on it. Hey would you have any idea how to know if your ecu is blow? My fucking bike won’t start because is keeps reading code 14 but I already fix the air intake holes still nothing

[@peaceandfood7952]

Are you doing maxi scooter ( kymco ak 550) ?

[@Sayid.M]

This guy is spot on regarding the bike running two maps. I often experience a difference in performance whenever it reached maximum temperature and the fan kicks in. I think it’s time for an ECU flash 😎

Thanks for the video! Rich in detail and perfect for a noob like me! I guess I'm going to ecu flash my 2019 suzuki katana, I guess it will be worth it!

[@steviewylie5267]

Best options for this is if you fit an aftermarket exhaust system especially if you delete the CAT,then it like the mt09 can run lean as for emissions reasons they are already lean from factory,let the company know off all more so they can make the changes needed,the mt09 really benefits as it smoother out the jerky throttle and gives full power that is restricted on factory ECU.

[@TheA-iu9ip]

Good video. I am looking into getting my flashed soon once I find place that won't charge arm or leg. Restrictions gone and enable quickshiter so i can install one of those (ecu based) Mainly will be for track but for hitting twisties too

[@Ro6entX]

@@wildwhiskeywolf Right on, yeah that is what I heard so jumping on that band wagon. Currently shopping for person to do it

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

I know FastByFew is one awesome company that does it... you can also go online and find others that flash as well... the best way to do it is find a tuner locally who can do it so you can go over all the options with them on the flash

[@0Rthx]

i got new exaust and air intake with pcv with the map thats based on the upgrades, but still will take it to dyno for tweaking

[@mantoniorjr9467]

Loved the video, super clear and informative. I want to really get into learning about ecu flashing and dyno tuning. Where can I learn, what background experience do you have. What do you suggest I do or how do I go about this. I would like to do this as a full time job. Thanks in advance.

[@KCadbyRacing]

I started by working on and tuning my own bikes and that grew into doing it for friends and then for work...

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

Ya, anyone with a computer and the software can flash an ecu. Dyno tuning requires skill and knowledge.

[@KCadbyRacing]

@@wildwhiskeywolf Yes it does but ECU Flash "Tuning" takes knowledge as well so if/when you know how to do both THEN your getting somewhere. Like doing a Motor Tune on fuel map 0 and Nitrous Tune on fuel map 1 (I have done several tunes like that)...

[@gouthamraj2967]

I have done a "full system exhaust" on a z900 2020 model,so is it mandatory to do ecu remap or is it good to go without the ecu remap (will my bike be damaged on a long run if I don't do a ecu remap? )

[@carlssonnoah]

Regarding A2 ECU Restricted Bikes. How will a Flash affect a ECU Restricted Bike? Will it remove the restriction or? I know some restrict it through the max RPM and power output, highering the max RPM would remove that limit Im guessing? Thanks in Advance! :D

[@pandamike209]

I just sent him my ecu super cool guy

[@2wheelsnoproblems646]

Since u flashed yours does first and second gear still have limiter I was told my 2013 is flashed but I hit a rev if I try rev it out while racing

[@juangonzales381]

Do you have to reset before installing new tune?

[@Champion2Manager]

Great video ! Super informative! I’ve got a Kawasaki 650 with a full Akrapovic exhaust, sprint filter and a power commander installed. Would you just do a tune up on the Dyno or do a ECU flash and then a tune up on the Dyno? The shop at my local area is charging me a leg for it lol 😝 thanks !

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

Do the Ecu flash first. If you want to get the absolute best a/f ratio after the ecu flash, get a dyno tune done. ECU flash will make the biggest difference in performance though.

[@Champion2Manager]

WILDWHISKEYWOLF thank you for your help. I know exactly what I’m doing in the next couple of days cheers 🍻!

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

Yessir! Keep me posted on the results!

[@mcferrmacaraeg6011]

I recently changed my pipe (full system) for ADV 150, do i really need to flash my ECU? thanks for the answer and greetings from the philippines.

[@silverfish-zx9708]

So I have a r3 and already have a power commander I could still flash it right?

[@killfase01]

Would I still want a boost plug if I got an ecu flash?

[@PapaWheelie380]

I have an '05 Honda VFR800 that I had dyno'd years ago with a PC V. It had a Two Brothers exhaust and K&N air filter. I just removed the Two Brothers with an OEM exhaust as it looks and sounds better/quieter. The bike is more for touring now than sport riding. Should I remove the PC V and just re-flash the ECU, or should I keep the PC V on and dyno?

[@mrgaijin128]

Hey I just installed an arrow half system. Also have the servo buddy. I have no check engine light.And the bike started to do very random uneven revs at idle also in 1sr gear as I’m rolling 9-12 mph the bikes start jerking funny. What should be done in this case?

hi im from Philippines i bought an underbone bike suzuki raider 150 fi the engine is similar to suzuki gsxr 150. is this bike's stock ecu can be flashed?

[@chrisnunezracing6834]

Great video, very informative. Also I would like to ask, is it worth to flash my YAMAHA R6 2005 ECU? I changed the exhaust to a slip on

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

100%

[@cj599]

curios of what software and cable is used for honda ?

[@southeastbikelife400]

So I have a 06 R1..it only has two brothers slip ons and a K&N filter. How much of a benefits can I expect of removing the exhaust servo flap and doing a flash?...thanks

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

Billy Toth removing the exhaust servo would be more of a weight reduction performance mod than anything..the servos are not needed...they are only there for emissions regulations and sound decibel regulations..the FLASH on the other hand you will see incredible performance gains from..its like riding an entirely different bike!

Hi so I have a new Chinese motorcycle (Lifan KPM 200) as far as I see from online searches, there have not been any flash kits or software made for this bike. How would I go about getting that done? If I brought it in to someone who does ECU flash, would they be able to deal with it?

[@wildwhiskeywolf]

No flash support for that motorcycles ECU

[@jagdhillon5762]

Hey i have a 17 r6. It had a recall on the ecu, due to the cold start issue. I had it dyno'd and flashed 3 years ago after i did the air filter and exaust. The cold start problem has become worse and worse and i brought it to my dyno guy and hes telling me he needs to take it to yamaha to be factory reset. Is this normal, he wont elaborate on why this needs to be done. Hes telling me he will get it factory reset and perform another dyno on it. Based on what ive said is this normal, have you heard of this before? And so you think its ok to still ride for a 4hr trip i need to take it on this week? Thanks!

Realistically will a flash be better than the PC? Quick shifter to be added later this year along with a few engine upgrades. Thanks

The tune can be done through the ECU alone. There’s no need for a PC unless w/e tuner is local to you wants to use one in the tuning process.

Yes, you can damage the bike if the ecu is not flashed with the correct settings. This is why it's important to get your ECU flashed by a tuning professional.

[@d.l.1660]

"EVERYTHING" is a pretty broad statement when you don't actually answer "every" question people may have. One of the biggest that you guys missed is will it void my warranty? A Harley tech says if they hook up your bike to their machines it will detect if something is out of spec and will auto-flag your ecu to their system that your powertrain is void. Most every other tuner says the manufacturer can't tell and it won't void your warranty.

I it necessary to dyno your bike when setting the ECU or can you send your ECU by post and have it set?

Dyno tune is the best. But you can def get a tune that is better than stock by sending your ECU in to a tuner.

Great video gents! Does the bike have to be running to flash it? I ask because my engine is partially disassembled and I'm waiting on parts. I'd love to trailer it to the dealer in the meantime and have it flashed. The bike will turn on but won't start as the right head is off the R1200GS Adventure, please know. Thank you.
