Yamaha R1M ECU Remap | Flash & Flame

[@mikefry6765]

You guys are redefining motorcycle journalism one video at a time - fantastic stuff

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Thanks Mike

[@partybike2244]

Mike I think this is their 1st or 2nd video. I'm really impressed ; )

[@mikefry6765]

Party Bike they have done many many videos subscribe and have a look also look at Baron Von Grumble to see where it all started

[@sportbikejesus]

You guys have managed to make an interesting/entertaining dyno vid.

[@mailshepster]

I have a Ducati Scrambler and just had the ECU flashed mainly to get rid of the jerky throttle. Best thing I've done to the bike. Didn't get to go into dyno room so enjoyed the vid and explanations from you guys. Keep up the good work!

[@l-ll_lnGl2Y]

Craig Sheppard what ecu flash did you use? Rexxer?

[@mailshepster]

I believe it was a Rexxer flash.

[@esdeathchan4354]

What is jerky throttle sir?

[@deezeeuk6542]

Cheers for leaving in the geeky explaining stuff, as well as the sex noises.

[@carltoncotter2614]

I appreciate super bikes, but if anyone can explain the relevance of the toilet, sexual and "jizz" references, I would be most grateful.

[@alex31721able]

can't believe you would waste time with carbon fibre aesthetics when you have doggy tape at your disposal

[@hmm3265]

If you don't do the entire bike in doggy gaffer tape, I'm unsubscribing.

[@yamahamotoreu]

We recon you should see how it feels now on the Silverstone circuit. You wouldn’t happen to have any plans on the 7th and 8th of August would you?

[@leuvenlife]

Reckon?

[@pryontosarker568]

leuvenlife it’s American slang we say it all the time

[@MrMaggotz]

@@pryontosarker568 It's spelt reckon

[@S3dINS]

It’s British slang adopted by Americans and spelled badly by YME. Drops mic...

[@damanwadhwa7825]

Great Video! My R1M made 185bhp at the wheel with a BMC Filter, smog off plates, Akra de cat system and a Graves flash tune map.

[@SC0TTCHEG]

the R1 has to be the best sounding road bike out there.

[@tfuryrottie9060]

Nayy

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

Yep . Better than an rsv4

[@elreydavid96]

I love coming back and rewatching these vids ❤️❤️

[@mmazourov]

bizarre - just came back from a track day where a guy advised to go to woolwich to sort out dodgy fuelling on a GSXR 1000 K6 (with Bazzaz FI)... definitely going for it!

[@thatguytom1]

Jizzy jizzy bang bang

[@comfysofa1549]

Can't understand why you didn't do it sooner. Had my gen 4 Z1000, hypermotard 1100 evo sp and my rsv4 all mapped and reflashed at cjs. The man is a genius.

[@Nerezza1]

I really enjoyed watching this. The technical stuff is very interesting and the noise is just beautiful. :D

[@RogerBarraud]

It's a bit hard to hear what they are saying near the beginning though, unfortunately.

[@kfranksd]

I can't wait for the first on board. You are a savage BVG! Good on the team there, that's proper tuning.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

ECU is the brain. Change the brain. The brain is where everything is controlled in the first place. Piggyback modules modify signals after the brain sent them. Much less adjustment can be done in that way. All that crackle and pop is just O2 being introduced from the PAIR system on deceleration. Deceleration was adjusted to keep the injectors spraying (factory condition shuts them off) which provides a much smoother throttle transition off/on, but mixing a big of fuel with fresh O2 from the PAIR system creates more combustion in the exhaust system.

[@happydays1165]

I could listen to them guys all day

[@JimBiddle.]

13:44 The tune was so good, even the video was faster....

[@MrPninja]

A lot of people have to thank Justin ( Justin Woolich) who an Australian for flashing there bikes, I do it myself with auto tune 197 hp and lots more low end and midrange and Auto blipping on my gen 5 Zx10r

[@Daniel-gb9ex]

How did you get the blipper with the autotune ?

[@MrPninja]

Daniel S it comes with the ecu flasher box, so in other words just original unit, you don’t need to buy the auto tune for that and a side note you can also use gp shift on the normal box, both are included and in the package; you’ll see it on his website at www.Woolichracing.com sorry should have explained it better

[@dman117zx6]

MrPninja wheel hp?

[@MrPninja]

Dman117z z sorry should have being more clear again, after the cat is removed and flash was done we got 197 r w

[@dman117zx6]

MrPninja Dang thats a lot of hp! I'm hoping to get a gen 5 zx10r soon!

[@WozzasSportsCruiserRides]

Great job, I did the Woolich tune on the MT-10. It rides so much better. Cheers.

[@ParisGentlemandriver]

Excellent and so informative guys ! Well done on this ! Now we want to see you ride the bloody thing and find out what's the difference. Cheers !

[@kornboy22]

Yea the block off plates help so AFR sensor can get a proper reading when on the dyno so do the plates BEFORE you get it tuned. ZX10R have secondary throttle plates (STP) instead of the stacks on the Yamaha. In the STP map the plates actually start to shut at top end to get around emissions and you lose a lot of HP. So if you use something like Woolich or FlashTune make sure to get these changed so they stay wide open at the top end.

[@TheGofreak]

I first heard these R1M backfires back in 2015 at the 8hour race at oschersleben in germany... I fell in love instantly... before every corner the bike startet fireworks😍

[@yard_bro]

Is that BaronVonGrumble?

[@geoffreypember6622]

Love this stuff, I have an r1and have had the engine remapped also. removing the air induction system and adding block off plates will get rid off that horrible pop and bang on desell , plus it will be smoother with slightly less engine braking..

[@twatters22]

Who downvotes this stuff?! Seriously!

[@djpingu78]

Thanks for this. Getting my yam xsr900 flashed with a woolich racing map at Steve Jordan motorcycles soon. Can't wait for it to smooth out the throttle.

[@dansimpson1840]

Al : "yea sure, yea, ok, yes no thats good" Al's head : ... Wait what the fuck!?

[@gnarshread]

Love the technical/knowledge side of stuff. Good point on making a bike more rideable than peak HP. I understand why a tuner isn't a good but why is this better than something like an autotune unit? The way I see it that tune works at its best at that exact altitude, air temp and etc.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

There are too many variables with auto-tune units and half the time (from experience) they don't work anyway! The adjustability and fine tuning that comes with ECU flashing is far more effective, even at a wider range of environments

[@ChrisJohn_444]

One of the most interesting things I've watched all year. I didn't know add-ons don't have access to the whole map. Thanks for sharing this! I'd be interested to see how the auto-tune add-ons fair, since they're supposedly constantly tuning the map as you ride.

[@WoolichRacing]

AutoTune add-ons from piggyback systems again only work with fuel maps (some work with ignition if you pay extra for another piggyback module). However, working with the ECU covers both of these plus the really fundamental aspects i.e. secondary throttle plate or electronic throttle valve as seen on the R1. Countless other aspects (i.e. maps/settings) to work with in the ECU.

[@ChrisJohn_444]

Woolich Racing Thanks, makes sense. I wonder if the technology is at the stage in which the auto-tune + power commander is better than a dyno-tune + power commander.

[@leekindell9937]

im a 2018 Aprilia Tuono V4 owner with map and Akra, gotta admit thats the best sounding inline 4 Jap on market now.

[@MUNRO13]

That sound puts a tear in my eye

[@cantfindanamefree]

will you do a follow up video on how it rides now?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Yes, for sure

[@jordaneade7444]

44Teeth how was it? Can’t find follow up?

[@sk2283]

Jordan Eade yeah I was hoping for something .... the last vid I saw was whe it was all carbon’ed up but no real review of how the bike was, then Barron got the HP4 Race .... everything else went to the wall ....

[@jordaneade7444]

S K yeah, it’s a shame really.

[@sk2283]

@@jordaneade7444 I have asked if he still has the R1M but no reply, I wonder if he sold it to help fund the HP4 Race ? if not would have been good to see a track day comparison of them both

[@SineOccasu]

Just goes to show what manufacturers are doing to pass emissions. Basically detuning the bike in important areas, and increasing CC for easy power to make up for it. There really needs to be some sort of evolution to make up for this stagnancy that has crept in to the motorcycle world.

[@RogerBarraud]

Didn't look or sound too stagnant to me :-)

[@r.cic1596]

Flash your ecu and be quiet mate

[@FuzzyOne2007]

Sod this ecu magic, where do I purchase this gaffer tape?

[@opmike343]

Nice to see the smoothing set to 5.

[@jsin22366322]

Ive installed RapidBike’s race module with the adaptive tuning module and there was more power on top of the reflash.

[@abhilashkatageri199]

Amazing job man.Keep the good work of educating people.

[@ilmostro16]

It is amazing how Yamaha managed to get an inline 4, which usually sound shit, to sound like a vicious twin a la Ducati or KTM! Fantastic.

[@markgardner1665]

Great video guys. Lots of good info, especially as I have a stage 2 tuned R1M too. I'd love to see the data from your tuner, I bet my guy wasn't as experienced as yours!!!

[@rodimusprime1158]

Awesome, informative video guys, not sure an ECU remap will help on my ZX9R! but will now get a powercommander and dyno'd.

[@brandonmrich]

Looking forward to a followup from the road!

[@canarskie]

Never seen bobbins spin like that!

[@Kaivalaginiviti]

Like being right there in the workshop with you guys, thanks, great video ;)

[@AlexHoldroyd]

ECU Mapping can always do more, but it can invalidate warranty - this is the issue for anything

[@R6WoolichCompatech]

Top Woolich Racing solution !❤

[@2391jessie]

Where is the post dyno riding impression video?

[@Filip_Phreriks]

Direct throttle handle to throttle position ratio must be great on track. But it would be twitchy on the road I guess? Very direct but twitchy on low speed and hard to maintain a certain speed.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Yes, it's an animal but it's also waaaay smoother

[@leegrice1210]

That noise!! 💦💦 I'd buy an R1 just for its audio... incredible.

Awesome tech info. When is the next video coming up of the test ride?

[@dentistguba]

Love spending 20 grand for a bike intended for road use and the stock mapping makes it choppy as hell in the low rev range where you'll be stuck around town lol.

[@jediknight1294]

Blame emissions testing

[@villea1841]

That's a nice flamethrower you're riding.

[@michaelhayward7572]

Fascinating from a Luddite's point of view. Carbs. Points. Condensors. A/A springs...

[@htothejay]

Crazy the amount of info This bike tell you

[@Blackfinity1]

All that popping on the overrun sounds & looks sexy on a short vid but would probably become tiresome in daily riding and will also probably ruin the muffler packing over time. Any reason in particular the tune is dumping so much fuel on the overrun, even with the throttle closed? BTW, that Akra looks beautiful; thinking of getting pretty much the same thing for my '17 Tuono Factory.

[@urbanracer01]

I have an R1, i can confirm that the popping, banging and flames do NOT get boring lol

[@patrickstacey2915]

I 2nd that :-)

[@exothermal.sprocket]

All that crackle and pop is just O2 being introduced from the PAIR system on deceleration. Deceleration was adjusted to keep the injectors spraying (factory condition shuts them off) which provides a much smoother throttle transition off/on, but mixing a big of fuel with fresh O2 from the PAIR system creates more combustion in the exhaust system. The PAIR is only there to provide the catalyzer some O2 to burn left over emissions. Remove the CAT, remove the PAIR, install full system, install good intake filter, and get it tuned.

Poping is because engine runs LEAN, not reach, a common misunderstanding.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Sebastián Demaría FALSE. When exhaust systems are modified, the flow-rate increases through the engine. Sure this makes the engine run more lean, but that's not the source of popping and crackling. That's coming from the PAIR system injecting fresh O2 into the exhaust after the combustion chamber. When that mixes with unburned fuel in the exhaust system.....BANG! The crackle is not the engine, it's air/fuel in the exhaust system after the engine.

[@thunderheads4103]

amazes me how much can be affected and how much to cost for repairs

[@SaqibKhaliq]

Time for a vlog with you riding it.. great video

[@MegaPinklady84]

So after watching this video I have numerous questions. I agree an ecu flash is the way forward however I didn't see any items unlocked for example pit lane limiter, auto blip etc. I run a s1000 which fair enough comes with this as standard on the sport which I have but I know people who I'm happy to recommend as we are both in the trade who would at least offer you these options.

[@WoolichRacing]

What Connor said. :)

[@Macaroni646]

So much power your pick up knobs are spinning

[@Zi9makin9]

Best sounding 4 cylinder

[@richpotatothebestg.m.ovegg2599]

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

No way RSV sounds better than this

[@findingneutral426]

Amaze balls! Might have to get the 1299 done !

[@FortyFourTeeth]

A 1299 with 1:1 throttle - yes please!

[@antwilliams2253]

8.22 barons face as he looks into the big hole! made me chuckle!. bike sounds phenomenal!

[@gsx-r1378]

Really good! What was the difference like when riding?

[@nunomc2815]

Does this remove ecu factory imposed speed limiter, letting revs pass 13krpm in 6th gear ?

[@Josh-oe4ex]

I just bought a brand new R1 S. I am a fairly astute tuner and it is my understanding that if you can flash an ecu, you have complete control over ignition AND fuel trims. So why in the world do people flash the ecu AND run a PC5??

[@geoallmotorguyh5813]

Thank you so much 44 tuning im in love : ) the sound is so adductive!!!! Loving it, bike carbs on r1 is best

I’ve heard good things about Power Commander with Auto Tune as opposed to tuning.

[@JimBiddle.]

Was there a follow on, how it felt on the road?

[@Seagoat1]

Should have gone to seton racing I did with his pipe 199 on wheel give him a shout he also puts the a b and c modes as full power but with different engine braking so different tracks and surfaces works well

[@markypancake]

Great insight into ECU flashing.

[@MOTOUK1]

Bet you miss the R1M BVG? It was a beast, just about to get woolich tune Ecu and auto blipper on Mt10sp :-)

Who doesn't like watching unburnt fuel igniting on the over run. I'm happier for it!

[@TheDRobins]

Great vid fellas. Loved the geekyness, very interesting! That Rich fella must have been trained at Hogwarts, bloody wizard

[@kauko40]

I'm really interested to hear what kind of afr are you tuning these bikes to run ? Our 2008 CBR 1000rr is tuned to 13,3 and some say it's too lean. We're also having a small issue when exciting the corners. When you go back on the throttle it gives a bit of a jerk and it looses traction really easily. And yes it's flashed with Woolich also.

[@daarkke]

This is awesome video mate

Sounds amazing lads🤤👌

[@onthebackwheel5033]

How will the map with the cat back on work because I assume you'll be tracking the r1m n I know it'll be about 115db at 5500rpm (as that is what mime was on a noise test at cadwell) so will need the standard system back on??

Hello, I have an FZ1-FAZER 2008 with BAZZAZ fuel control, K&N FILTER and Akrapovic end can. I would like to reflash the OEM ECU, and would like to ask you if I have to ditch the BAZZAZ system or it can coexist with the reflash ECU. Thank you!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Another top video lads! Can they re map my Brompton folding bike? 😂

[@jakeyjakey101]

Things like the 1 to 1 and getting the power you're asking for ? Why isn't it like that in stock?

[@jamiedyer7782]

they dont want their bikes running at 100% peak from factory either for safety reasons, every car and bike comes "restricted" in a sense. also as he mentioned the bike gives less fuel idle and throughout speed stock, that is probably partly for safety and also for fuel economy, especially in cars.

[@TattooedNSnappedBack]

Emissions

[@spoonowl]

Wonder how it would look with a slow motion camera! Jizzy propably

[@theknivjocke]

Does it pop and crackle more after the ECU tuning? I'm thinking that it might, if it's running richer now? Certainly worth the tuning for that alone!

[@jamesjeffs7802]

Why don't Yamaha do this out of the factory? No to criticise the guys at JHS, but surely the OEM will have more knowledge and resources?

[@iamtherealzombie]

They have to pass emissions testing out of the factory, so compromises must be made, plus the owner throws the factory tune out of balance by changing exhaust components.

[@jamiedyer7782]

yea they dont want their bikes running at 100% peak from factory either for safety reasons, every car and bike comes "restricted" in a sense. also as he mentioned the bike gives less fuel idle and throughout speed stock, that is probably partly for safety and also for fuel economy, especially in cars.
