Before ECU flashing, they were the best solution on the market! Depending on the bike, they usually cost anywhere between $320 and a whopping $1250, take 1-3 hours to properly install inline with the bike’s fuel injection, and sometimes ignition, system. They allow for adjustment of the TPS (throttle position) vs RPM fuel mapping with a high level of resolution for most applications. Nels, and our technicians, have installed THOUSANDS of these piggyback fuel controllers on motorcycles over the past decade or so, because they’re a great tool for an experienced and qualified tuner to use when adjusting fuel, and sometimes ignition timing, mapping on a dyno when no other solutions are/were available. ![]() The single most popular piggyback fuel controller on the market is the Power Commander, but many others exist on the market (Bazzaz, RapidBike, EJK, etc). Until the late 2000’s, there simply wasn’t access to the mapping in stock ECU’s, so a piggyback fuel controller (a device that intercepts and taps into the fuel injectors, throttle position sensor, and sometimes several other fuel injection components) had to be used to tune and dial in a motorcycle. PLEASE, unless there is no quality ECU flashing available for your bike, don’t waste your money on a Power Commander, Bazzaz or any other piggyback style fuel controller! Quite simply, they’re a waste of money when there’s total control over the mapping in the stock ECU for most modern bikes on the market. Nothing ground breaking.just your standard mods.ĭigressing a little.I was just coming out of the local supermarket at lunchtime.sat on the roundabout, 1098 streetfighter went across the roundabout, copped me and opened it up, from a slow rolling start I managed to successfully reel him in by the next set of lights (he ended up being about 4 or 5 meters in front) and I knew he was going for it as I could see his right arm franticly twisting the throttle feeding gears in.not bad for something 20 bhp down that's not even seen the dyno yet.This is going to be a long one, but we think that it is absolutely essential that anyone looking to maximize their motorcycle’s performance (and their own personal riding enjoyment) understand how to best tune and dial in their bike. If I ask him and he agrees, he may do a mail in service - assuming you've got pretty well the same set up as me.whose interested in that.? if enough are (and he's successful - I am the guinea pig here) how many of you are up for that? Well, theorectically - lets say mine comes back with all the mods done, power up by what is expected (say 25 - 30bhp), fuel cut off done, flapper valve motor removed, o2 sensor removed, no power commander needed.all hunky dory. (shipping not included)ġ3) Return your ecu back to stock at no charge for any reason.Īll testing was done in house on Ivan's personal Ninja 1000 / Z1000SX testbikeĮCU reprogramming may not comply with federal safety/emission lawsĮCU reprogramming may not comply with your warranty even at low revs.ġ2) Free upgrades when/if we make improvements. ![]() it makes rediculous power and good mileage as well with no flat areas, no matter what you do with the throttle. Throttle "quality" is flawless in the corners. ![]() My Z1000/Ninja1000 ECU programming (Re-Flash) includes: - NOT FINISHED YET - Here's some of it.ģ) Disable fuel cut for flawless throttle controlĤ) Re-program sub-throttles for max power and driveability at any rpm and throttle positionħ) Disable Exhaust Servo error code- No need for exhaust servo eliminator (EXUP eliminator) anymore (Z1000 only)Ĩ) Complete re-curve of ignition timing at all throttle positions - optimized for 89 octane fuel (premium fuel not necessary)ġ0) Anything that compromises performance and/or driveability is eliminated. No need for FCE or any fuel controller - Fuel controller is optional. I am pleased to announce that I have successfully re-programmed the stock Z1000 & Ninja 1000 ECU to my own exacting specifications as listed below. (Not available yet - please don't call and ask when - I'm very thorough and won't release it until it's ready - working on it every day now - Shouldn't be much longer) The really good news is that the flash will be 90% due to kawasaki getting their **** together!! and It will be fuel tuner optional. Ivan has successfully flashed the ECU with most of the gen3 tuning program with fantastic results.the new ecu is much better than the gen3 unit as he stated.ĭon't bother with the woolich software as it doesn't offer any of the needed areas that must be adjusted to get the proper results.
