ECU Flash

[strykerAKAmack]

I'm torn between ecu flash or the power commander V
I see that PCV has been released for the F3-S with map for 15-thru 17
I've got a 18 SM6 F3-S so wondering if tune would work that PCV has out .
I've always added a PC to my motorcycles as I like the ability to get back to
stock configuration painlessly just by pulling a plug and bypassing the whole system .
Anyone tried the PC route on an F3-S ?

Yes but not for a F3. will update when things unfreeze in my area.

I do have the PC on the RT now using a f3 map.

Going with the PVCX tuner now. More to follow later on this topic

Wow! It took them long enough.... Please do share your opinions/findings with this and the tunes they have available (both show as stock intake/stock exhaust). Not sure how those would perform on my modded exhaust but for 400.00 and the ability to switch back and forth and clear codes etc, I could talk myself into it!

I am flashed with the Stage 1 but very interested to compare the two!

It will take some time as the tune was for a 16-18 RT. I am guessing they should be close for the 14 RT's. Right now just in the starting process of this. I was also wondering if the tune that you guys use can be used on the PVCX tuner??

They show that the PVCX is available for the 15-18 F3/F3-S with two tunes listed on their site. Part number = PV3-25-05. Every DynoJet unit I have used in the past saves the existing tune BEFORE writing their tune into the ECM. I have sent them an email to confirm this.... Not sure they have built in the ability to dump the tune file out of the programmer. Also, it most likely will be "coded" to the byke it came out of and I doubt would be able to be shared for use in another byke.

It does save your original tune once you it has access to your ECM.

If I pull the tune on my 14 they will check it for me and send me a new one or use what is on there site.

I just got this weird response from them:
Thanks for the inquiry. We cannot read out what is in the ECU so your first step would be to write a stock file to the ECU assuming it takes it. Then you would write one of our tunes on top of that.

We can read and clear DTCs with the device. You will be able to log channels from the ECU while riding and review them if desired.

To me this means if you already have any type of tune/flash in the ECM it will be lost because you must write a "stock tune" to it, then load one of their custom tunes! Eeeeeek!
