• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Have you had an ECU Flash? How long did it take? Any good?

Hey Jwulf74,

Tuner is locked to only one Spyder. It cannot be used for multiple Spyders.

When the device comes you plug it into your diagnostic port in the front of the vehicle and download the information from the ECU off of the Spyder. You then plug the device into your laptop or computer, use the included software on Monster Fuel's website and import that data onto your PC. You then send that file over to Steve who will personally tune it for you based off your requirements. He asked me quite a few questions regarding my riding style and fuel selection which felt like a personal touch and was much appreciated. He then sends the files back (3 in my case) which get uploaded back onto the device. Then the device again plugs back into the diagnostic port to start the ECU programming.

UPDATE from Steve regarding multiple Spyder's:

Tunes per bike are always separate.
So each bike purchases one.


The devcie locks to 1 vin.
He would need to buy multiple handhelds. OR,
There is a work around.
He can tune one. Unlock device ($150 to manufacture) move to another. Tune it. Then unlock devcie ($150)
But you can go back to a bike. It stays on last VIN. And you must unlock to remove vin lock.
It works to tune once and forget.
To go back and forth between tune and stock, or have freedom, you need separate handhelds.

Monster Fuel Injection

Can the device be used for reading codes and clearing them?
 
Plugs into the OBC (diagnostic) port up front. It can remain plugged in or removed after flashing.
 
Well I answered this question the first time you asked ( and posted ) it ( 9-5-20 ) ..... it still applies to this posting ....... Mike :thumbup:

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.
 
Had stage 2 done by Wick-it and all I can say is-----what a difference. Normal riding and throttle openings don't seem much different than stock. But get serious and it comes alive and normal cruising the engine just seems to be to be running so free and easy. The gentleman at Wick-it describes it as being "light on its feet."
Because of a lot of rain and other obligations, riding time has been limited, but so far I don't regret having it done. Knowing the extra performance is there if needed is nice.
My only mod is an Akro muffler.
 
Just over three years of using stage I. Prior to stage one no noticeable (seat of pants) gain was felt going from 87 to 91 octane, however, about 1mpg is gained depending on speed averaged, which is not worth it to me. Post flash, much better performance with either 87 or 91 octane. I consistently recorded 39-42 @ 60-65 thus stayed with 87 due to cost difference per tank. Never heard or felt pinging (detonation) on 87 and I am a lugger not a rever, e.g. full throttle at 40 in 6th gear due to great torque. All was done on a 2014 RTL with LaMonster cat delete, two brothers pipe, one baffle, and stage 1 by Wicked-Performance. I now have a 2023 S2S with BRP's performance exhaust, and an RLS cat delete with SS baffle. I want to go the stage II route but am waiting for Monster/Wicked-Performance to respond to my query regarding the SE6's semi auto downshifting if and when too great of load is placed on the motor.

I used BLR tuning he sells the Dynojet PV3 with custom tunes for what is done to your spyder very happy with results getting 40MPG now after plug change.

We are all happy that your happy, but why not post a signature telling us what you had tuned? I'm not going to read all of your posts to guess what Spyder your talking about. Why are some people ashamed of what they own?

Would be easy for those that need some help or giving advice to let the rest of us in on what they own by posting it in a signature with some info.

Rant over! not sorry, Bill:thumbup:

I have a 16 RTL with two Brothers muffler, KN filter, Cat delete pipe,with baffle sparkplug change, fuel filter and 1330 engine.

Thank you, 40 MPG is very good. I have never gotten over 34MPG , but we do ride 2-up 80% of the time.

Now, take a couple minutes and create a short Signature and we'll never have to ask you what ride your talking about.

Thanks again,:thumbup: Bill

Good to hear that you are satisfied with Stage 2, I will leave a note to Santa under the tree and see if gets me a Stage 2 tune before Spring.

I am not aware that the MFI flash will do anything for the shifting up or down other than raise the rev limiter to a higher number. Mine hasn't been flashed but 22 F3S, up and down shifting is manual (electronic on the left handlebar) except that it will shift down if you are coasting to a stop when it will automatically downshift all the way to 1st at the Stop.
