2 Wheel Dyno Works A specific shout out goes to Nels and his outstanding customer support after the flash. I had a specific issue with the flash that I wasn't 100% happy about, so I sent him an email explaining my issue on Saturday evening, New Years Eve. I figured since it was the holiday he would be off and I wouldn't hear a reply until Tuesday. Well, 15 minutes later (almost 9pm Saturday evening) I get a reply with all sorts of suggestions on things to try to fix my issue. Since it was dark and well below freezing outside, I didn't get around to following his suggestions until the following morning. I again emailed him my results and asked him if he had any other course of action. Sure enough, within a few minutes he replied (Sunday, New Years Day, during the game... does he ever take time off?) and offered even more expert knowledge. Problem fixed and the bike runs silky smooth now. Nels took the time, I presume on his day off, to help a customer with technical advice in a very timely and professional manner. I cant express enough thanks.

Thanks for posting the video. It looks like a very straight forward procedure once you actually get access to the throttle bodies.

I bought mine from the same vendor and after receiving it I can tell you for a fact that it is NOT LEGIT. I have several "official" OEM service manuals for various other Yamahas and they all have the legal disclaimer on the first page, this manual does not have that. That being said, it is EXTREMELY high quality, with a full color pull out electrical wiring diagram.

Ya know, I believe there must be some production variances between bikes. I have read posts on here of people claiming 6-8mph variance when compared to a GPS, while others (myself included) experience much more accurate results, 1-2 mph variance. I'm not really certain how or where the speed is detected on this bike, but there seems to be a large margin of error between bikes.

If you ever find a rubber dampened 15T from another model that fits let me know. I would think most output shafts "should" be the same dimensions? Maybe I am way off here. While the whine on the non-dampened sprocket isn't horrible by any means, it is noticeable. In 20,000 miles or whenever its time to swap out the sprockets and chain, I may try 16/47 (+2 rear) as it is almost the same ratio and you can use the OEM dampened sprocket.

When I got my bike new, I did a speedo test with a GPS mounted to my bars, accuracy was within 1-2mph. I did the same today after switching to the 15T and it was still off by 1-2mph. I'm not sure where the speed is detected from, on my previous FZ1, I originally had to use a SpeedoDrD to correct the inaccuracies. With that bike there was also an option to correct it as part of the ECU flash.

I got my 15 tooth C/S sprocket installed this morning and took the bike out for a test ride. HUGE improvement over stock gearing, just like on my FZ1, I feel that going down 1 tooth up front is how it should have been delivered from the factory. Starting off from a dead stop at stop signs/lights require much less throttle input to get moving, infact you can just slowly let out the clutch and start rolling without even touching the throttle if you choose. You still have plenty of powerband range in each gear around town without revving too high, you just shift slightly sooner and each gear feels more effective. Getting on an interstate on-ramp is much the same, plenty of power to rev out each gear and 6th feels much more useable cruising at 70mph where the rpm is raised about 300 rpm. (I would normally keep it in 5th and only use 6th above 70-75mph) The only downside is Yamaha doesn’t have an OEM 15 tooth rubber dampened sprocket and aftermarket has a slight whine you can hear if you have your visor open while slowing down. Though, the slight noise is VERY MUCH acceptable given the increased rideability. If you were to mainly focus on long distance highway riding then I wouldn’t bother, but in tighter conditions where you might want a closer ratio gearbox then I consider it a “must have”. Worst case, if you hate it then you are only out $28 + $6 S&H. Sprocket Center Superlite Sprocket

I just got mine from the same place, VERY high quality manual. If it isn't legit then they did a fantastic job making it appear as if it is.

Clint Sorry to hear of all of your troubles with the shock. Glad to hear that Matt is helping you out as a liaison. There is nothing worse than getting your hopes built up and then being let down once you get the product in hand. Traxxion Dynamics is currently building me a Penske and I feel like a kid anxiously waiting for Christmas morning.

Have you already contacted them to allow them to try and make it right? or to give you an explanation?

Foxtrot I like the looks of the Parabellum fly screen alot. I am also 6' and considering changing the stock screen, what position did you have the fly screen? I leave my stock screen in the lowest position, I don't find the wind noise to be horrible with the stock screen, but the fly screen looks so much better.
