angrygirafe Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Removed and mailed my ecu, installed new air filter and now thinking about removing that foam under the gas tank. Does it really change something? I removed the foam when I did the flash, but can’t say I noticed anything related to the foam. Everything was so different after the flash though, it’d be impossible for an amature like me to tell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member coachluciano Posted September 20, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted September 20, 2018 well this showed up today and I was going to put it on and run without a flash until I had a few days of rain in the forecast so reduce no riding time. When you get it installed and have a good test ride, please post up your impressions. A pipe is about the only thing I haven't done to my bike and I am weighing my options. Will do. It’s gonna be a hard assessment as the 2WDyno flash happening at the same time will cause many positive changes at once. More to come. Glad I joined this site.

Does it really change something?Removing the foam under the gas tank allows for more airflow to the intake. 2WDW measured a 6hp gain in the midrange after removing the foam. :thumbsup: That is what I was told while I was waiting for my ECU to be flashed. 2015 red FJ-09: Cal Sci screen, Sargent seat, ECU flash, slider combo, cruise, Rizoma bars, Matts forks, JRi shock, slipper clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member texscottyd Posted September 20, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted September 20, 2018 Oops... 2WDW disabled removed stole mine months ago. Darn it. 8-) Redacted. 2WDW redacted your speed governor... I’ve already paid for mine, but haven’t pulled the ECU and shipped it to them yet. Flash credit, as it were.

If that is indeed true, I will cut the foam out of mine tomorrow. 6hp gain in the midrange is HUGE, realistically I would expect maybe 2-3hp though. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sterlinggold Posted September 20, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted September 20, 2018 Installed the Nitron rear shock I got from @dfwfj (Thank you!). Wow; this thing really plants the bike to the road. Huge difference. 2.5 hours total, mostly trying to figure out how to remove the bottom bolt of the shock (as mentioned in other threads, it's all about releasing the bottom part of the dog-bone). Inserting the dog-bone bolt back in is also a bit tricky, had to jack up the swing arm, use a bent needlenose to position the bolt and nudge it in with a long thin pry-bar (really tight space).

Ooh... I think 6HP might be pretty generous... but the angry intake growl (10 placebo HP) is worth the mod.I recall being told that it was a 4hp gain at the peak and 6hp in the midrange. But I don't see that much midrange gain in the published dyno chart. It looks more like 3hp. That is for the combination of their tuning AND removing the foam. The peak gain is a solid 4hp at the wheel. 2015 red FJ-09: Cal Sci screen, Sargent seat, ECU flash, slider combo, cruise, Rizoma bars, Matts forks, JRi shock, slipper clutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 in regards to the "foam" the FZ-09 and the FJ-09 share same airbox and engine so the HP/TQ should be the same... during the first FJ-09 tuning they found it was missing a little HP/TQ about 3-4hp compared to the FZ-09 and traced the "missing HP/TQ" to the "foam"... by removing the foam it brought the FJ/FZ-09 engines to the same HP/TQ curves... 2wdw has 3-4 diffrent tuning software IIRC.. FlashTune, Woolich Racing, PCV and Biazz(sp?)... I went with Woolich Racing instead of the default choice of FlashTune 2wdw- north west coast location woolich- north dakota location Hordpower- central Ohio location vcyclenut- north Florida location Ivans- new york 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koth442 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I was skeptical about removing the foam as well. But 2WDW has empirical evidence to suggest it helps so what the hell right!? '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
