ZX10R Moore Mafia ECU Flash Did Not Go As Planned

[@radrock6249]

Rode my Busa to Chris, this past May, from Western Arkansas, had it dyno tuned on pump gas and MR12. Rode the the wheels off the thing on the surrounding roads, in several states and am happy as I can be with what he did. He visited with me and explained what/why he was doing adjustments on old Rusty. It was worth the time and money, to have this done, plus, the ride was fantastic, Tail of the Dragon and Back of the Dragon are great roads. All in all, I'm very happy with the outcome. Love my Busa.

[@akcycles]

That's freakin awesome 🤘

[@TeddyStage3motowerks]

Dyno tuning > mail in tunes and MM knows Suzuki better than any other platform he tunes. He has that Busa dialed in perfectly I'll bet.

[@sidneywomack8171]

Chris flashed my 2023 Z900 SE a few weeks ago. You can definitely feel the difference! I didn’t receive a check engine light at first startup and the sound of my full SC titanium exhaust is crazy 😜.

[@grubbm4927]

I’d say for not having the bike on his dyno, one adjustment to the tune is pretty good! Moore Mafia flashed mine and couldn’t be happier! And no lights whatsoever.

[@akcycles]

This is a good point. I loved how it felt. The power delivery is insane

[@OldEnglishMan]

I just got mine flashed by Chris Moore, it comes back today I can't wait (2024 R1) whoooopppp

[@akcycles]

How is it?

[@OldEnglishMan]

@@akcycles sweet the auto blip down shifts are abit hit and miss but the thing flys now lol

Got my ecu flashed on my 22 zx14R last December by Chris. Worth every penny. Completely different bike afterwards.

[@SquireSCA]

Chris tuned my Z900RS, ZX6R, R1, ZX14R and my new MT-10. He does great work, every time and is awesome to deal with.

I made my ECU flash with Chris Moore I can tell you all that he is the best my bike feels real different more powerful and more smooth I recommend him to make ECU flash

[@93_Premium_Ube]

Had my ECU flashed by Chris on my 23 ZX6R with a DNA air filter and M4 slip on. I was surprised after doing the initial start up instructions, that I didn't get a check engine light. Rode it for a day and it was still good.

[@akcycles]

That is surprising lol how do you like the tune? I'm dying to do a new gen 636 they are my favs.

[@joemommaganja]

no mid pipe?

[@middleagegrind1759]

Too funny. Don't have a bike anymore but still watch videos and stumbled on yours. at the 10 min mark of the vid I was like damn that looks familiar! Yep, riding around the Rio traffic circles. Lived in Mont. Vill for 20 yrs and just moved to VA 2 weeks ago! Love man! Miss my Kaw but perhaps in another year or so I'll get another.

[@2wheelsonly614]

Nicks performance for the win.. no check engine lights. I got a bmw now but I’d still send nick my ecu idc he’s that guy

I have 2023 zx10r. But I loved Brock's exhaust ❤❤❤

[@ktg612]

Got my 08 cbr1000rr ecu flashed by moore mafia. I'm super happy!

[@Broken-six]

That’s great info! I’m thinking of pulling the trigger and buying the 40th anniversary zx10. I was curious about the decel fuel cut, basically what you talked about. Thanks

[@akcycles]

Glad I could help! The new gen ZX10 is sweet I highly recommend it. You do need to flash it though. It felt like the most restricted 1000 on the market right now

[@Broken-six]

@@akcycles I was planning on Moore mafia, and I knew about the throttle cut problem. I do my homework. That’s why your video was great for me.

[@H2Shadow]

Yeah Chris did my ECU on My H2 it's a whole different animal now

[@jameskahl1598]

I sent my ecu off to Chris yesterday for a Sprint P08F185 and full M4 exhaust tune on engine ice coolant.

[@akcycles]

For a zx10? What do your think? He can turn any bike into a monster 😈 lol

[@bryanharrison3889]

I know chris and his family, their shop is legit, this is a spot on review of a flash from them, and good mentioning that he was enthusiastic about making the complaint about the blip right. The title and thumbnail are a bit click-bait-y, but still a good video.

[@akcycles]

Haha thanks n as for the thumbnail.....tis the KZbin way unfortunately 😂

[@paule815]

This video is older now, but I will say this: When driving slower the auto blip is always harsh before and after flashing. If you were going a lot faster, you wouldn’t notice it because the RPMs are higher. But, nice video.

[@exclusivetunedcycles2420]

That is the biggest lie, a good tune will always increase fuel economy riding conditions permitted.... #2 this is not a "Tune" it's a flash that everyone else has... for the 400 dollars should've found a local dyno and had the bike mapped for your bike... but great honest review.... no bike should ever have CELs after a tune!!! Good luck with your channel!!!

[@MondoRockable]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these flashes are generic whereas a dyno tune is specific to the bike. The dyno tune still has the ECU flashed, but it is flashed with specifics from the dyno readings, no? I presume people would rather pay less for an ecu flash, and take their chances, rather than pay more for a full dyno tune?

[@christophersmith2670]

​@@MondoRockablemost people dont track ride their bike, so I'd say youre probably right about not needing to ring every drop of hp out of the engine. You both have valid points, but kudos to you for being more tactful and humble about it. Hahaha

[@Reggiepouerie]

Love the bike. There’s a video on his channel with another zx10r, Moore Mafia explains the same issue you mentioned when downshifting bike being super jerky…..

[@maxx_life]

Had my ninja 650 flashed by moore mafia, nothing compared to a 1000cc bike but its been awesome

[@akcycles]

Does it feel like a new bike? Amazing what a flash can do and really wake up a bike

[@maxx_life]

@akcycles yes definitely way smoother, throttle is smoother, shifts are smoother, don't gain a ton of hp down low on my bike, maybe 3-4, but around 14 up top so definitely enough to notice

[@yuriawilson8696]

You did something to the bike. Chris Moore doesn’t make mistakes with his tune.

[@akcycles]

🤣🤣🤣

[@luiscastellon9461]

Great video. Sorry I don't understand exactly but... What option is better for smoother Auto-blip function, Disable Decel fuel cut(checked) or Decel fuel cut(enabled)?

[@chriswade3986]

I have the m4 titanium exhaust on my 21 zx10r , it sounds great. Once you flash these things they really wake up.

[@johnklein6322]

Great video, and informative. I was wondering, did you block off the pair valve?

[@akcycles]

No the bike was pretty much all stock performance wise apart from the M4 Exhaust

[@doubleoddbuck00]

Chris flashed the ecu for my MT-09... Wow, huge difference!!!

[@Zx10mezz]

Great video sir!

[@joshuat5140]

What fi cleaner did you use? I went to healtech site and it only goes up to 2010 on the zx10r list. But I have a 2023?

[@akcycles]

It's an Abs bike so the abs version which does cover this year. An abs version should still work fine on a non abs but double check with heal tech

[@Khoolhwhip]

12 hp with the baffle out is pretty cap. I see velocity stacks giving less and those are considered to give big gains

[@jacksons87]

hes tested it and 12 is accurate

[@Khoolhwhip]

💀@@jacksons87

[@drummerboy5]

My 1000sx autoblips are very rough. I never autoblip, I always downshift with the lever. My bike is factory

[@TeddyStage3motowerks]

The quickshifters on the 6 and 10 work differently because the 6 is not a throttle by wire bike like the 10 is. And you're seeing less mpg because when you do a mail in tune, they add fuel and timing, and it's blind tuning. When you dyno tune it, to make more power, in some areas of the powerband they will add or pull fuel, but leaner makes more power, running rich makes less power 🙃

[@yomny7713]

So decel fuel cut is fixed on the tune or this feature needs to be left out in order for auto blip to work right?

[@akcycles]

His tune is good for the ZX10R. The second time around was perfect. If there are other tuners that offer a decel fuel cut option I wouldn't do it. It can cause issues with the auto blip.

[@86ghost]

maryland in the building

[@Drunk0nCustard]

8:45, what do you mean it was because the fuel cut change, on the website theres no option regarding fuel cut besides pops and bangs, how do i make sure not to have the same problem?

[@akcycles]

Pretty sure I mentioned it at the end but by the time I got the video up he already changed his website options and no longer offers that change. However, if you are going with another tuner that does I would not get it.

[@aimg2993]

kris is a certified maniac badass, chances are you cant ride the ECU like him

[@Peanutbutterjelly00]

Man I'm having the exact same problem with my 23 zx10 and I hate it. Did you get yours fixed? If you can share how yours was fixed I'll appreciate it

[@akcycles]

Who did you get the flash done by? I mentioned later in the video we sent it back and what supposedly causes the issue is having a fuel cut option changed. Normally on decel your bike cuts fuel but when the ECU is tuned most people opt to have fuel on on decel. Helps smooth out throttle transitions but with new gen bikes with quick shifters can cause issues with the auto blip.

[@Peanutbutterjelly00]

@@akcycles I had it done at a local tuning shop here in Ft lauderdale Florida. The guy didn't know and I told him to turn off decel cut off. Now the bike is much better. Thanks to you brother 👍🫡

[@Lays2210]

Hi, is it legal to flash the ECU where u live ?

Yes lol Right now no emissions testing in MD for motorcycles.

[@msromike123]

I know little but his tunes seem like they are primarily drag bike oriented. I just get the feeling he may not be the right guy for a canyon bike or track bike. If I am wrong you can let me know, I will not be offended..

[@Will-z4t2v]

Question I have a 2021 zx10r & my ecu was flashed by Chris as well,did you ever see a ESD light on ur dash? & if so what caused it?

[@akcycles]

No never had any warning lights after the flash apart from the initial check engine light in the video which is very common. Once everything is clear you should have no issues.

[@jojo_and_my_luvs]

Auto blip is still blipping the throttle. The bike is going to jump a little if you don't pull the clutch. You got powpow now🎉.

[@akcycles]

I did mention it in the video, but isn't the point of the auto blipper to not have to use the clutch. I think it kind of ruins the fun and purpose of the auto blipper

[@jasonmekush5280]

i wont say what company , but i also sent my ecu to a southeast us company for an easy flash. messed the bike all up check eng light. sent it back told them to reflash it back to stock made it worse. had to pay 1000 bucks for alocal tampa shop to properly tune and dyno it

[@akcycles]

Were you able to clear the check engine light or did they keep coming back on? Who did the final tune?

[@Broken-six]

I can’t get a zx10r test ride anywhere in eastern pa. I just test rode an Aprilia rsv4, and I fit great. I’d rather buy the zx10, but it seems smaller. I’m 6 2”. Have you ridden both? I’m trying to ask someone who knows these bike. Thoughts?

As a daily 23' ZX6R rider I have to dispute your claims about their "butter smooth" quick shift function at low RPM. At least on my bike. Yours sounds great though man.

[@bmack1000]

Remove the baffle or you are down 8-10HP on the M4 verified on dyno. Few more in the midrange. I have the M4 Street Slayer, with the baffle out, this pipe and the M4 GP make nice gains.

[@akcycles]

Crazy how much of a difference it can make

[@christophersmith2670]

I just picked up a 2010 ZX10r with 30k on the dash. Full Yoshi exhaust. It rides awfully smooth, so my question is, would a flash or tune make it more powerful enough to unsettle the balance? Or would it be subtle enough?

Chris is good if u got zuk. If the bike was zx10r then go to 2 wheel Dyno work. Cuz he use zx10 to race his bike. His previous bike were s1k. Im sure he has more experience with the zx10 and s1k compared to moore. Moore is good at gsxr1000

[@Supercharged1976]

Okay, so it's not just me. I had Chris flash my Z H2 and I love everything about it except that autoblip down feels like you pissed off your mom and she's about to yank you off the bike. LOL! Very not safe especially when you're hauling the mail and leaned over to any decent angle at all.

[@akcycles]

Did you experience this recently and did you get a fuel cut changes made with your flash? The fuel change when off throttle "fuel cut" seem to cause issues with auto-blippers.

[@Supercharged1976]

@@akcycles I got it flashed last fall and yes I had him do the decel fuel cut. I didn't really ride it much before I got all the work done on it I just assumed the quickshifter was that way until I bought my Versys 1000 and it downgears with the quick shifter like butter I started to wonder what was wrong with my Z.

[@dakotaburns7551]

Hey bro. That bike looks pretty cool; however, I’ve been considering a Hayabusa, potential with eventual ecu flash and Brock’s exhaust from you guys (I’m in NC.) Already have a couple bikes; touring and sport cruiser; considering GS 1300 to compliment but love these sport bikes; specifically the busa with low to medium end torque. Waddya think.. am kinda older so - maybe you’re gonna think “go for the GS”, but … that zx10r and Gen 3 Busa … suhWEET!!

[@akcycles]

Haha the Hayabusa is a monster! The new gen looks super sleek too but that's all you're getting is a cool look over the older ones. I've ridden one and mehh same as the old ones lol GS1300 looks interesting, but it's not going to have any top end. They won't let it outshine the XR1000 which is what I would suggest. I love the XR best sport tourer out there.

Sorry if I was not clear. We did opt for a decel fuel cut change; however, that does cause issues with the ZX10. We sent it back and had that part of the tune changed back to factory. When I was editing the video it looks like Moore Mafia does not offer that change anymore.
