FlashTune ECU Flashing Interface

[Tad158]

...I have the 2.1.....it was the one they made before they came up with the one that would also the the 12+...the 1.x does the 07-08.

Can someone tell me why my FT may not be working? I was at the track on Friday and tryed more than several times to flash the ECU with no success. It kept giving me a connecting error and I did have the computer (charging) plugged in.

Also is there any new Latest/ Greatest map for a 2010 +/- with a full Akra, filter and Bazzaz that anyone has posted?

[Tad158]

Were you sure that you had a good 12V supply hooked up? That is the only time i get flashing errors...ie I forget to plug in the 12 power brick....

Also, does it work at home. If you were powering it off a generator, it could not be supplying it with a clean enough AC signal to generate the 12V DC (if you were using a wall mount power supply)...

Yup, I checked it several times. I haven't tryed it from home since nor in quite a while but I will this week.

Update: I tried flashing it with their new "flash etv only" "flash fi only" and it worked. Go figure.

Storm have you had this error? Did it error right away? Or did id behave like above?

Probably like above but not sure about everything he's talking about. I got through all the set up but when it came down to the actual flash it wouldn't connect. It showed several attempts to connect then said to disconnect the ECU and try it again. I did this 6 - 8 times with the same results.

[Tad158]

Ok, that is usually what happens to me if I forget to connect the 12V. I would try at home, and if it still fails, call F-T. It should work.

What is "flash etv only" "flash fi only?

Hey guys. I've been a member for a while now, but I haven't modded much till now, so I haven't bothered posted anything. I've been reading quite a few threads over the last few weeks, and this one is of particular interest. I just put an MJS Y-Pipe on, and purchased some Two Bros Slipons. I've read as much as I can handle of this thread, but still have a few questions:

1) Can you use Flash-Tune to load the standard maps back on (if i decide to sell the bike)?

2) Does Flash-Tune let you modify each of the three (A, STD & B) YCC-t maps separately?

3) Has anyone's had a successful dyno tune where they haven't blocked off the smog system (temporarily or permanently)? From what I understand it pumps fresh air into the exhaust to cheaply clean up emissions. Therefore it would confuse the dyno tuners sniffer (oxygen sensor).

4) If there's a way to make the traction control default to 'off'?

5) Why people want the immobiliser removed? Flash-Tune appears to remove it, but I'm not sure why this is a good thing.

6) What parameter(s) is the engine braking slider actually changing?

7) Can you remove injector shut-off on decel with Flash-Tune?

8) Is injector phasing the point where the 2nd stage injectors come in?

[AKDMA]

1. Only the us image for now, but eu is supposed to be soon.
3. FT allows disabling of the smog system.
4. No tc settings yet.
6. I'm not sure what the etv slider does, the fi slider adds fuel during decel.
7. See above
8. yes

I'm sure someone else can fill in the gaps, but hope that helped a little. Download the software and check it out.

[Tad158]

Also, the FAQ has plenty of info on all those topics...

The ECU has two microprocessors, one for fuel injection and another for controlling the ETV. So with those functions you can make changes to one or the other or both.

[duggliotto]

Thanks for the info. I will refer to the FAQ too. Cheers.

Chatham's V2 '12

First impression: Wow! now we talking!
A more refined and angry version yet still smooth!
100% improved low end, 3-6k and a consistent mid and top end. Power comes on fast and strong so intervals between gear changes have been reduced. You will find yourself too slow to shift up.


During the middle of a 2hr test ride:
Not sure if it was due to a slight rich fuel mixture I noticed and the pop crack and bang sounding like an angry thunder storm on desel. Even tho the temp were in the 90's it did feel some power loss or maybe I just got use to the extra power.

Did I read somewhere that higher temps mean better performance? is this true? The stock fan kickin for the '12 is 100c, now it's set to 90c so I never see 100c anymore no matter how hot.

Final impression:
A great improvement over stock! much better suited map for high obtain 98 fuel than peen's map. 1800k's since I purchased the bike and this is the first time I feel like I got a real liter bike. Power wheelie, no problems, clutch wheelie, no problems. power and clutch wheel with traction on, no problems! lol. anything you want you got it.

Important facts:
Test was done during a night ride, temps were 16-18c, on twesty and straight roads. Not a Sunday, driving miss dazy cruise but a high rev and high speed dash!
7.5 to 8.0L/100kms

Bike setup:
Stock all except GYTR slipons and y pipe.

Thanks for the review.

In regards to the popping on decell even with the AIS switched off in the ECU I would also get this..as soon as i installed the block off plates, no more popping on decell.
For some reason even with it switched off in the ECU some air must get passed from my EXP the block off plates are the best option.

[Sydster]

thank for a perfect map! i dont mine the popping..

This place is the best for help.
Glad you got what you were after mate.

I noticed this too. I'll be installing block off plates over the winter. Can't get an accurate afr reading.

Finally got to ride a bit hard last night after flashing it with Peen's map.

One new problem; the front wheel doesn't seem to stay down at all, it's like floating on an invisible layer of pressurised air :-)

Thanks a lot all you guys; the bike is completely bonkers now. Next on the list is to try out N4speed's map and the one jaggi made for me with ignition retarded back to stock.

[kell0w]

how would i be able to get chatham's map? been trying to mix things up but not having any success
