Ninja 1000 After ECU Flash. She's A Different Beast! 😨 What Should I Mod Next? 🤔

Today you're going to see how the Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx rides after her ECU flash. I will also go over my dyno results with you. Stay Healthy, family!
What type of mods do you currently have and plan on installing on your own motorcycle? Have you gotten your ECU flash yet? If so what kind of power is your 1000sx generating? Let us know in the comments!
Take a look at the original walk around video where I show more mods that I have installed on my Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx: • Ninja 1000sx Walkaroun...
And the updated mods pt 2: • Ninja 1000sx Warnings ...
Im looking for the best air filter as the next mod for my ninja 1000sx. What do you suggest?
Also please give me your best recommendation for a good exhaust for the Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx preferably a 2020 since they have not changed anything since than, I believe the 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx has the same components as my 2020 Ninja 1000sx. The 2019 kawasaki 1000sx models and earlier are a bit different but I can appreciate your opinion as well if you have those models!
Thank you for watching and being a part of the journey!

I love my Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx but nothing is perfect, so check out the 5 reasons NOT to get this bike: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV62ZqmEmbWgrJI

[@rajindarsingh1417]

I’ve always loved Taiwan , subscribed from Singapore. Just bought my N1k in April , after riding a GS , Diavel & Busa , this is light & easy & cheap to run . Definitely tour more now , just for the fun of it. I ride into Malaysia & Thailand ( super beautiful roads )

[@LiterFreedom]

@@rajindarsingh1417 have you been to Taiwan, 🇹🇼 brother? I’d love to go ride in Singapore, I was in Thailand recently but I didn’t have a motorcycle to ride out there unfortunately haha I truly loved Thailand, it was much better than expected. You’re a lucky man! I’m happy you’re enjoying you’re 1000sx as much as me! I’m slowly becoming a full on loyal fan to Kawasaki but I flirt with the idea of getting a S1000rr haha Thank you for subscribing and helping to grow the channel! Ride safe, brother!

Get the Akra headers.I have the full Akrapovic exhaust with a K&N air filter, ECU flashed by Moore Mafia in SC USA. Bike is a whole new animal. Responsive and keeps pulling after 9K. Sound is my favorite part of the upgrade, I had a Leo Vince Factory S muffler before I installed the full exhaust system and the sound is night and day difference. Also saved a ton of weight once the cat and factory headers were off.

[@LiterFreedom]

@@ehiggins7476 I appreciate the advice! Would you be interested in participating in a video for this channel? You could make a short video of the sound of the bike to help others choose the best one for themselves! I was actually looking into the Akrapovic headers since I already have the slip on, it sounds like it might be the best option but I’ve heard some other brands that also sound amazing! What kind of power are you getting out of your bike with the full exhaust?

[@charlieluffy938]

@@LiterFreedom sounds like a great idea, I'm debating on what to add and what the difference would be.

[@Dsanrides]

I can almost feel the throttle, seeing you barely twitch your wrist, and hearing it instantly rev up. It’s actually noticeable on video compared to before you flashed it. Thanks for the shout out! It was mostly from Norton that people had issues with from flashing their ECUs on their 400s. Looks like you had a real reputable guy flash yours. Pineapples are delicious. All we had at my HS was cows 😂 I dig the new camera! Always fun watching your videos. You’re in the process of blowing up! Watch out for those cops on that road ✌️

[@LiterFreedom]

hahah All I had at my HS was raccoons lol It's good to warn people of the negative implications of changing anything on their bike, I appreciate you letting me know about some people having problems with their bikes after the ECU flash so people can do their own research and make a better decision! We gotta do a collab soon, man! Ride safe, brother!

[@xiron_JP]

Hi from Japan! I got my big bike license and... I just bought the same bike as yours, haha! Just only this year model, new. Waiting it from the dealership now.

[@LiterFreedom]

Wow Congratulations, brother! Welcome to the 1000sx team! You will really love her! I am jealous haha Japan is the perfect place for the Ninja 1000! What color is your 1000sx?

[@xiron_JP]

@@LiterFreedom Thank you! It is a Metallic Diablo Black x Metallic Phantom Silver.

[@michaelsloane1034]

Hey Michael from Hickory NC I msg you before a few times but wanted to tell you I finally picked up my 2024 1000sx love the bike and I was really surprised how comfortable this bike is I'm 6.1 and wow it really fits me good I really didn't think the seating position was gonna be this good anyway I put a coffmans slip I've had one before for my fjr and wow dude it really makes the bike pop in looks would like to have your email would love to send you a pic of my bike and maybe you post it in a video would be cool love your videos watching them made me feel better about my purchase and decision to buy the bike anyway ride safe stay frosty this summer

[@LiterFreedom]

How have you been enjoying your bike, brother? I’d love to have you appear on my channel, I’ll create an email for this channel so i can receive a short video from you of your bikes exhaust! It would be an honor to have your bike appear on this channel and I’m sure everyone would love to see it and hear it too! I’ll reply to you with the new email soon! Thank you. Ride safe, brother.

[@michaelsloane1034]

@LiterFreedom wow that would be so cool the one compliment I get is the looks it just transformed the bike from stock I'm from hickory NC and it's been raining it's ass off here so I have not been able to get out as much as I normally do but as soon as our weather gets back to normal I will be riding the crap outta this bike I traded my 2008 yamaha fjr in on this bike my one complaint with the fjr was weight not as young as I use to be lol also have a 2023 honda gold wing tour but my main reason I wanted this ninja is I wanted to get as close to a sport bike feel of a ride as possible with a comfortable position and I think this bike delivers that anyway keep in touch and be safe my man

[@myownroad9278]

A tua produção audiovisual está cada vez melhor. A edição de vídeo é um vício que cresce como a vontade de andar de mota 🙂. As estradas e paisagens também são muito bonitas por aí. Boas curvas.

[@LiterFreedom]

Muito obrigado. Fico sempre feliz de ver voce por aqui! Ride safe, brother!

[@lanceb3547]

I did a full arrow header and slip on, K&N air filter with a MooreMafia tune and it completely transformed my 2021 N1K. The stock header/breadbox/can is very restrictive and heavy. The result is nearly 20lbs in weight savings, and roughly 140 wheel HP. Definately worth it.

[@LiterFreedom]

140HP sounds healthy! Haha Specially when you saved over 20lbs. I appreciate you letting me know about your mods! I’m going to look into the K&N filters too. Would you be interested in showing a small video of your exhaust sound on my channel? I can send you my email for that! Hopefully you subscribe for more content on the 1000sx. Ride safe, brother!

[@lanceb3547]

@@LiterFreedom of course! Would be gapy too.

[@pinnacle_moto]

Almost at 500 man. It's a real slow slog isn't it. I'm also on a z1000sx and trying to hit that 500 mark. the horn issue is corrosion on the terminals. It's moisture that causes the issue I have the same problem on mine. The horn is the most exposed terminals. Next you will have issues with front indicators. :)

[@LiterFreedom]

The legend, Pinnacle! Your videos are great, brother! The KZbin Game is slow, our audience is hard to please and the competition is high. But this is a long term game! I’m happy to see you here, brother! Congratulations on your great work! Best of success to you, partner. Ride safe!

[@LiterFreedom]

And by the way: You were 100% on the horn issue. It was corrosion on the terminals, I got it replaced for free and I’m truly hoping that the indicators don’t go out anytime soon (or any other part haha)! Btw: Another subscriber mentioned that the cable on his horn was getting fried under the tank… but that wasn’t it for me. Thanks for the input, partner!

[@pinnacle_moto]

@@LiterFreedom The Z1000SX is pretty easy to work on. Especially our model. I have got to a point now where I can take the dash surround and both side fairing off in under 5 mins. If you ever want to do something on your bike yourself, check out my how to video's it's probably on there. If not feel free to give me a shout and I can talk you through anything you need.

[@LiterFreedom]

@@pinnacle_moto I like your videos on the headlights replacement. Do you have anything on changing the fender eliminator? Also, what kind of exhaust are you running on your bike? Thank you!

[@pinnacle_moto]

@@LiterFreedom I'm running Scorpion end cans and in my recent video's I have de-catted the exhaust so it's now a straight through hence the base :) You want to remove the rear mud guard on yours? I haven't done that yet, but I will be removing mine to carbon wrap it in the very near future.

[@chrissedgeman3331]

As soon as you talked about the horn not working, I think I know the problem after I seen it raining when was happening, I have the 2022 1000sx and brought my bike back to the dealer after riding it for 5000 miles was still under warranty and keep blowing fues, The first dealer couldn't find the problem so after 16 weeks they couldnt fix it. I took it to a different dealer with the same problem. The horn and curse control fuse would blow and then the main fuse started blowing they replaced the ECU wasn’t that. They had no idea. so, I got the bike back not fixed and bought a hand full of fuse and started replacing parts . Finally, after 8 weeks at my home I figured it out the horn cruise control wire was melting on the engine under the fuel tank. I replaced it myself just tied a sting and pulled it thru under the tank as I pulled the old one out and started working again but the line was in the same place and got melted again. I brought it to the dealer and showed them the area it was melting and this time they rerouted the wire away from the spot it was melting. Benn working fine now for over 30 weeks now.

[@LiterFreedom]

Thats very useful information right there, brother! I will look into it. This was the first time that this has ever happened (horn not working), but, I've been riding this bike a lot in the rain! I appreciate your input, brother. Hope you're subscribed for more content on two wheels! Ride safe, brother!

[@BR1U7477]

Kudos… which mobile holder are you using on this bike? Cheers

[@LiterFreedom]

How you been, brother? It’s made by a Taiwanese company called Takeway. I actually really like this phone mounter as it’s very secure! Ride safe!

[@michaelsloane1034]

One complaint I do have with the bike is the indicator lights to me very disappointing one they are not running lights like on all other bikes I had I would prefer them to light up all the time and then blink when I turn on for turns 2nd they are not LED lights but the headlight is LED makes no sense to me and 3rd since they are not also running lights the bike is dark from behind as the tail light is not that bright so I am wondering is it possible to buy something to make them also running lights and I will probably swap them for LED lights

[@LiterFreedom]

Michael, my apologies for the delay on the response as I haven’t been using KZbin in a while… I have not found a solution for the LED lights yet but I will look more into it and ask some friends, I’ll let you know what I find!

What can of ecu flash you're talking about ? Any file to share ? With what soft tune Ecu?

[@LiterFreedom]

How you doing, Xavier? What do you mean by files to share, do you mean like the dyno results or the actual settings for the ECU flash? Im only a beginner in this matter so bear with me, but, ill do my best to answer any of your questions! Hope you subscribe for more content on two wheels, brother! Ride safe!

[@xavierb8051]

​@@LiterFreedom yes the both if possible!

[@Rickmac22]

I have a Yoshimura slip on and Delkevic headers, the bike is totally quicker and more responsive! My mechanic advised against the ECU tune, he felt the ECU would adjust after 10 tanks of gas... 10 tanks later and the bike sounds and feels great!

[@LiterFreedom]

Thats good to hear, Rick. Did you put your bike on the Dyno too? If so what kind of numbers did you get? Cheers, brother!

[@Rickmac22]

@@LiterFreedom haven’t put it on a dyno yet… I’ll let you know if I do!

[@douglasgrosch228]

chris moore @ mooremafia next time for ecu flash he a drag racer knows how to get every hp out of all bikes mooremafia.com/pages/kawasaki-tuning?gad_source=1 send in mail

[@LiterFreedom]

I like Moore Mafia, I've seen some good reviews from them, but, the problem is that if you're far away from the east coast you'd have to mail in your ECU, and he's basically going to do exactly what everyone else does but WITHOUT a dyno tune or results to see how youre particular bike will respond to certain options of the ECU flash!
