Tune then flash or Flash then tune?

Just wonder what order I should follow. I have the PC5 with Autotune. Should I get the bike dyno tuned THEN get the ECU flashed? Or flash it THEN get it tuned? Thanks!

If your tuner is cool like mine, get the flash, put the PCV on, get the custom tune, take the PCV off, then get it flashed again and import your map...no piggybacks to fail.

Here's my plan:
Flash to de-restrict, turn off AIS (use plates too), Turn off O2 sensor, use the speedo healer function (-1 in the front), change fan setting.
Put on PCV
Custom tune
Take off PCV
Re-flash importing my custom map
Never look back

Are you going to race it or just street/track it? If you already have it, I would just stick with it....Flash, then throw that stuff on and be done....If your going to race it, then I would absolutely tune it....you need ever hp you can get!

So here's my next question (to help the op of course :)) Do you just import a map to the PC that has your mods and let the autotune do it's thing, or do you get a tune, THEN put on the autotune for the fine adjustments?

Well since I street/track I'm gonna get it flashed, get it tuned, and keep everything else(PCV & Autotue) on it. I don't need to squeeze every last HP I can get out of it. Lol I just want a good running bike. From my understanding the flash alone is amazing so can't wait to see/feel for myself.

I hear that...I picked up my R1 in Sept...I just put her away...So I'm going from slip ons only to midpipe/filter/flash/tune/brakes...for the next time I ride her which will prolly be on the track in April....I'm expecting a HUGE difference! I'm pretty excited lol...
