2013 rt recall flash?

[ST114ME]

What does that flash do or change?

If you are referring to the ECM update which is part of Bulletin 2013-9, here is a thread about it.

Here is the "short version" of what the ECM update accomplishes according to one tech rep...""Makes them run [slightly] cooler and eliminates the takeoff stumble some have experienced..."

The word "slightly" was my own addition, as that is what the SB actually says. I have not seen any actual results posted by members who have had this update performed, but I may have missed them. The SB came out in January, I believe.

it was made to try to alleviate some heat and to lower the rpm's a lil and also remap for fuel. personally i don't think it did anything. but as soon as your bike is hooked up to BUDS it will get the re map even if you say you don't want it

It actually does make the bike run better but does NOTHING in regards to help with heat.

Had the ECM update done a few weeks ago then drove 280+ miles no real change.
If anything changed I would say It's seems to sip a little more fuel.

Spyder RT-S runs significantly better. Heat difference is ummmmmmm, minimal.

Agree, not much change in heat dept, but sure runs smoother at low speeds.

I had the flash done on my '13 RTS. Can't say I noticed any difference in performance. If you're bringing it in for a service, do it. But I wouldn't bring it in just for the flash.
