Chuck is completing the "Graves Spec" maps for the full systems and cat eliminator systems right now. Expect to see the exhausts hit the website and ready to purchase in the next 7 days, along with pricing and dyno graphs. Anyone that has pre-orders in will be called when parts hit the system.
Any restrictions the might possibly be there will be handled. There's just a few channels like the ABS setup that's still being developed. The steps to remove it should be ready soon..
This company developed all the modern flashes. Anything else is a copy. The software that we tested is the new stuff and it performs correctly when mated to one ecu. It functions similar to a power commander you always own it and do what you want. You just have to do it to your own bike. If you want a single flash at $200 mail it flash tune and do it that way.
I'd purchase the unit and take advantage of the advancements when the release instead of being locked into one generic tune that someone most likely guessed or seat of pants dyno'd and tells everyone it's the greatest things going (being honest).
I can't wait to see a dyno for this thing. Its going to be quick anyway, and yes I'm sure you US guys want your ponnies back. What I'm busting to know is, is where and if its lacking for any reason in the midrange for street duty?
It just makes perfect sense to buy the FTECU interface if you are fitting a Gravespec exhaust. You'll have professionally developed maps at your disposal, and with Graves offering the FTECU, you'll get a better support model than our previous interactions with FlashTune.
As with every factory ECU, our US (especially here in California) bikes will be neutered to meet vehicle code regulations. I believe the journalists who rode the bikes in Sydney last week had the opportunity to swap over to "competition ECU's" if desired (reference to article: http://www.sportrider.com/2015-yamaha-yzf-r1-first-ride-review)
Here, we have to remove AIS, EXUP, and charcoal canister, then flash or replace with YEC ECU when prepping a racebike :dundun:
Install the block offs at the next plug change, makes plug changes much easier as well as removing some unneeded junk/weight. Lessening popping in the exhaust, and enabling a correct AFR to be read for tuning are the main reasons they're installed.
I hope you guys fix up the throttle curves in the 15+ image you guys provide. The throttle curves have the same issues as the 09-14 has, where you can hold a constant APS, and as the RPMs increase the TPS will open then close and then open again in the stock image...:shake...
I also hope you guys keep that section of the image unlocked, as it is not part of the dyno tune...so that way if you don't want to fix it, we can...Or if you would like some of my input, feel free to shoot me a PM...
It does, and the benefit of block off plates is that air can slip by in the closed state. Block offs ensures that on a dyno or auto tune sees the correct AFR.
You will not get an accurate air fuel ratio with dyno work either without block off plates.
The more time with the bike the more features will be released. My .02 cents is if your buying a $16K + motorcycle. The $36.95 plates are one of the most functional and ridability add-ons you can do.

serious tip of the cap to you guys, flash tune, and Yamaha for making the flashing software available before the bike even hits the showroom, great job!!
Remove ECU from bike and plug into the wall harness. Use the kit pictured to plug into the wall, interface between your computer and complete the flash.
Type 8 Bike Side kit. Plugs into the bike and stays on the bike. Download the same software both kits use and plug your laptop into the connector that is on the bike permanently and flash away.
Wondering if the newer one needs to have the speedo corrected through the flash when re-gearing?
Was thinking the bike had two wheel sensors. Mayb a dumb question
Long Answer: I would assume gearing correction will work as it always has, hence our 2012+ R1 models came equipped with a front wheel speed sensor in addition to the OEM rear speed sensor (you know, the harness you tap your 'speedohealer' into) and still required a reflash when changing gearing ratios.
The new TC addition was a separate program on the ECU's PROM... I would assume all the newer features are utilizing their own separate programs within the PROM, just using the available resources that these powerful ECU's (our current 07-14 ECU's have enough resources to do 2D data logging if you're skilled enough to write the code for it) FTECU didn't touch the TC section of the ECU when reflashing... It just blasts the same TC code along with your updated FTECU parameters :dunno
Short answer: Yes, you will need to flash that bad boy to have the correct gearing :crash
Oh yeah, I think my Bench Kit just showed up today :jump
