Evidently, as preventing a malfunction there is the No 1 safety concern around electronic throttle control...Update:
Yamaha has done some pretty trick stuff on the 09 in regards to the throttle by wire. For what I am told it seems the throttle chip has lots more calculating, interpolating and all around checking being performed than on the previous models.
How is your R6 working after having ECU reflashed. Did it get rid of the throttle opening restrictions and can I send mine to have the work done?Ok guys, I finally received a connector we were waiting for in order to get the reflashing going. So I am shipping my spare ECU and this connector in a few hours to the guys that handle the technical side of things. I am not an expert on this field at all, but I will try to pass the information given to me as accurately as possible.
As of right now I the plan is to remove the restrictions (5k,12k) and leave the below 6800 100% one alone, as that one actually helps. There might be other things discovered as they dump the information out, we'll see.
One thing, there is a small chance my ECU will get damaged, and if that happens then we're SOL then as the other one I have is the Euro and I can't risk that one also.
For comparison, the 09 R6 they did has been running now for a while with no problems and with a bit more power in some places. So we'll see what happens to the 09 R1.
Before everyone goes crazy with this, so far I have seen gains on my bike with the restrictions removed because of the motor work. I am seeing good top end but that's not just a de-restriction benefit, it's a cam and compression benefit. So for people that are going to keep the motor stock, this might not be the thing to do. That being said, I never ran a bone stock bike de-restricted.
Still debating whether to offer the ECU reflash to the public once it's available. Never had this problem with other forums and don't feel like going thru it again.
