    Default Best method to ship ECU to Monster Fuel in Canada

    USPS, UPS, FedX---? I'll have over one week of out of town vacation time. What has been everyone's experience--cost--time frame doing the ECU shipment for performance ECU reflash?
    Thank you kindly,

    Default Fed-ex ground

    Fed Ex ground gets there in 2 days. About $26 with a box. Ask for a brown box that's 13" X 10" X 3" thick. It's under the counter at my Fed-Ex outlet.
    What happens starting at 5,000 rpm to red line is going to blow you away. If your not under warranty or don't care, consider the 8,600 rev limit.
    I just traded in my Flash 2015 RT for a 2016 F3 limited. When they hooked up the BUDS as part of the inspection process, not a word was said about my bike having been up to 9,100 rpm.

    Method doesn't matter.
    USPS has cheapest options with longest times
    FedEx and UPS have next day options but at a cost. And they also have a ground option that can be anywhere from 2 days to 5 days.

    With all, you can go online to website and estimate cost and time. Or they can tell you at counter.

    Pricing varies per state. And how remote you are from major city.

    Some people ship next day both ways and have ecu out/done/back in 3 days. Others just send cheapest option and it can take a week (or more) turn around.

    Aftermarket ECU reflashing is somewhat common with both the Harley Davison and Indian motorcycle community.

    You can take a box Stock HD motorcycle, as I have done, had the proper tune (program) for my bike done and the results are a much better running motorcycle, better throttle response, smoother power and a good increase in power with better overall drivability.

    The engine in the Spyder is set up to meet EPA requirements, not best performance out of the engine. A properly reflashed ECU will meet best overall performance rather than being strangled to meet EPA requirements.

    The ability to get your Spyder's ECU reflashed is a home run in the overall ride ability of your Spyder.

    I am glad that these guys are offering their service, generating new and improved Maps is no small task by a long shot.

    Default ecu reflash

    Call monster up and let them instruct you. They have a specific way to get
    your ecu shipped without the border patrols getting involved.

    Done that--it all varies--some freight is easier to clear customs--some faster-some slower-$$ costs--choices are endless--just wanted experience on the shipment.

    Why not just ride your bike to up to them, and have them make some "magic happen", while you wait?

    You've got the week off!
