if I did the stage 11 will it work with only a k&n filter or do I would have to do a cat delete?
Best people to ask that question of would be whoever is going to be doing your tuning/upgrade. I'm pretty sure Jase @ ECU Xtreme can cater for that mod/combination, but you'd hafta talk to him to decide whether it's worth your while to try a 'Stage II' tune without a Cat Delete or if it'd be better to do something else, maybe something not quite so 'aggressive'.... :dontknow: And I reckon it'd be the same with Monster or Wick-It or anyone else worth getting to do your upgrade. :thumbup:
So give 'em a call & have a chat, tell them what you have & what mods you've done &/or are prepared to do, and ask what they can do for you. The worthwhile tuners will generally want to know all that sorta stuff anyway, so you've got nothing to lose & everything to gain! :ohyea:
Go on; Do It!! You know you want to!
ok thank you will do
I'd say that it's quite likely. I haven't had a flash done, but when the dealer did my first service, they connected to update my software. In the process, they accidentally wiped my ECU, and I had to wait for them to restore it.Quote:
I'm just wondering, if the dealer uses BUDS for any maintenance, if that erases the flash. If so, there goes $300 down the toilet...Oops i just saw what needs to be done..
Can you buy the tune and upload and download with a tuner?
As I said in the post you quoted Terry, that can happen with some of the 'flash' jobs that people get done, and it has been known to happen too - but not with the ECU Upgrade that I've got. :ohyea: Besides, Jase at ECU Xtreme has a record of the upgrade he's applied to mine, so even if, by some miracle, someone managed to erase my ECU's tune, he can (& will) restore it anyway; so at most, I'll be out a few days & the mailing costs. :thumbup:
As with so many things, in this sorta thing, it seems that you really do get pretty much what you pay for! :shocked:
Just an addendum to that, Peter...... Jase can simply upload the new map to your ECU while it is still connected to the Spyder. This is a quick option, but it does mean that the dealer could indeed overwrite it during service (but if they do, Jase can simply reload it as you say). The process that you and I used, sending the ECU to Jase, having him open it and load the new map as the default, over a couple of days, means that the dealer can NOT overwrite the new map.:2thumbs:

Has anyone done a ECU Stage 2 flash to their RSS 2015 - I just recieved mine from Wick-IT Performance - I have no clue how to modify the airbox - the pictures I found online is for the RT series and looks nothing like the RSS - any help would be appreciative!
That is a question for Wick-it. The Air box for the 998 twin is hard to get to and a totally different design. I used to have a 2014 STL and installed a K&N filter but it was very difficult to figure out. You have to remove most of the Tupperware on the right side and it has some tabs on the side that you undo and it barely opens up enough to change out the filter. You would probably have to do more disassembly to get to where you can drill out a couple of holes high and on the front side. When you pay for a stage 2, you are paying for them to do the mod to the box lid.
This might be a loaded question - but is there any benefit for a US based person (Indianapolis, IN) to send their ECU to Monster in Canada vs. Wick-It in the states?
If I remember correctly from talking to Steve at MFI, if he does the flash and there are ever any updates they are free from MFI Canada...If Wick-it does the original flash and there are updates you'll be charged...Call and talk to Steve in Canada to confirm...Sending anything to and from Canada can sometimes be a PIA...larrys
The DynaJet Power Vision 3 can........
wkohn -- check if your Spyder matches these PV3 fitments (mine doesn't): https://www.fuelmotousa.com/i-238981...model%3DSPYDER
Been thinking about the PV3....Where do I plug the thing in at on an 18 F3?
Plugs into the OBC (diagnostic) port up front. It can remain plugged in or removed after flashing.
I just finished reading 22 pages and 549 posts on this site regarding ECU mods, stages 1 & 2. There have been multiple duplicated questions and multiple answers to the same questions regarding all the aspects of the aforementioned upgrades. Haven't you and Ron and I spoken to one another about this in our PMs? Just got my ECU back from Wick-et today with a stage 2 program. Got it installed and rode it down to the gas station to top off the tank for my first MPG evaluation. It got too dark to fully test its performance. As with the stock ECU, it will take a tank or two before I can fully evaluate its full potential.
