kilo3 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Oh boy! Ran out quick during lunch to pop it in to make sure the bike starts, that's as far as I got. Must resist the urge to rush the bike back together after work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilo3 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I now have 400 miles under my flash across 4 different days. I don't know if it's a combination of all the reading I did on the subject or maybe I've been screwed before from other canned tunes on other bikes, but this one actually does everything Ivan says it does. I keep waiting for the let down but it has yet to happen. I've experienced the placebo effect on other tunes only to snap back to reality the next day. Haven't had it yet. Pro's: Less overall vibrations (4-6k is still there sort of, now I have to actively search to find some vibrations) Easier to downshift/rev match Putzing (10-40 mph is effortless), also very easy to handle at u turn speeds STD and B drive modes are now completely useless (std mode was my go to before, now it's A all day) Ultra smooth on any acceleration from a closed or partially closed throttle. Of course all the speed limitations, cruise control...ect. Con's: Wiff of gas coming to a stop light, smells like a motorcycle now Probably less MPG, but I haven't noticed. I usually get high 30's so that has not changed (I see 11k on the rev counter every ride) Because the bike is now much smoother, remind yourself that 3rd gear is over 100 clicks on the fun meter. Moot: Engine sounds a bit different, especially in the 4-6k range QS sounds a bit different going from 1-2, no change in quality of QS, mines pretty smooth from the get go Legalities aside, If I was a yamaha dealer, this would be on every 900 that went out the door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted June 22, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted June 22, 2020 @kilo3 - While I don't have Ivan's flash (mine is from 2WDW) I agree that every Yamaha should come this way from the factory. Enjoy the "new" bike. 👍 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denveryzf Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 My ECU is boxed up, and will be on its way to Ivan in the AM, I can’t wait to get it back and go for a ride. Will also be doing a TB sync when it’s returns since I’ve already got everything taken apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denveryzf Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Got my re-flashed ECU back a couple of days later, and am very happy with the results. Did the TB sync as planned too....the improvement is definitely noticeable. Smoother running, cooler running, and no more jerky throttle. Ivan did a great job, and did it very quickly...thanks to him I love this bike even more. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilo3 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 @denveryzf were your tb's off by much? I checked mine at 2k and they were spot on from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was a little lower than the “reference” TB, and the other was quite a bit higher. My bike has almost 15k miles, and that’s the first time it’s been done though...

With the ECU flash and TB sync, she should purr like a kitten (and sprint like a cheetah) now. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denveryzf Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I think so, I'll need to go an several long rides just to be sure though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
