Some of you may know me from another thread about this procedure from Monster Fuel Injection in Canada and my initially poor results. I thought it prudent to put out an update in a fresh new thread for anyone exploring this 'upgrade option" and for those who may start reading the other thread and not see my short "update" or whatever....
When I had my ECU flashed the first time I had ZERO improvements with it. Being that I ride pretty much year round I wasn't gonna send it back until either the weather turned really bad or for some other reason I wasn't gonna be riding.... Fast forward to Feb 14th of this year when I had to have some surgery to correct the inability to breathe properly and knowing that I would be down for the count, I sent my ECU back to Monster (it actually went to his partner business here in the states in Louisiana) to be flashed again.
There were delays in getting back on the bike but that finally happened on the 6th of this month. This time around the ECU flash is delivering impressive results! I have a 2015 F3-S with the primary muffler/cat in place and the Akrapovic Straight Shot silencer currently. I should qualify this by saying that I am going to be changing out the primary/cat for the unit from RLS when it becomes available and told Steve to set the "fueling" for that configuration.
Right out of my driveway I knew this was gonna be fun! I put 160 miles on it that day with all sorts of different riding conditions (city, boonies, casual acceleration, hamfisted stuff etc). I spent a fair amount of time trying to make the flash show any faults it may have had by making unusually low rpm shifts, crazy shifts etc etc. Dennis in Lodi who had great results on his RT with a 79t sprocket had some issues with the flash when it was applied to his F3L with the 89t. It was throwing a P0172 code around 3800 and having hesitations around 7k. None of this was present for me. Once I had split up from my riding partner and left to my own devices, I was able to apply a serious thrashing of the flash thru the entire rpm range to the top of every gear EXCEPT 6th (I had a "tail" at that time). The distance needed to a chosen speed was greatly reduced with NONE of the throttle control intrusion evident in the stock flash!
I am 100% stoked with this flash and how my byke runs now! You don't even need to run it up in the rpm range to get results. The increased power/torque is there right off the line and as far as the rev limiter will let you go. So much so in my case with the new throttle settings and my byke having always been strong there, that I had to relearn throttle application all over again! You can do pretty much anything you can think of and still have much improved power/torque on tap. Short of bogging it in ways you really shouldn't. Even the exhaust tone was "healthier" with an ever so light burble on deceleration.
So there you have it. Any questions feel free to PM me....
