PWR 2 should give you full throttle but just a softer touch on the throttle. I use 3 mostly on the street and I've only ever used 2 on the track. 1 just is too twitchy for me.

 

I use 2 all the time... be it the street or the track. I have no idea if there are HP differences... as she is just crazy fast.

 

I prefer 3 on the street except for taking off from stationary.

 

Thanks Guys!!! Will stay on power 2 most of the time....maybe...just maybe I'll use Power1 for the track...

 

I had mine Flashed and my throttle map re-worked. i use power 1 all the time. Zero complaints.

 

This.

1,2, and 3 all have the same peak power. Its just delivered softer in 2 and 3. Until flashed I believe 2 is the best all around option.

 

Honestly soon as you flash the ECU, PWR 1 is smooth as butter like the others!

 

- PWR: Four available power settings. On the Cycle World Dynojet dyno, PWR 1 delivered a 167.4-hp run, while PWR 2 made around 7 hp less, PWR 3 another 3 hp less, and PWR 4 almost a whopping 55 less horsepower than PWR 1. Throttle response is noticeably more aggressive in PWR 1 and gets progressively less so in the lower power settings.

I would tend to agree with the slightly less power in each mode. I know the bike wants to wheelie more in 1vs2

 

thats bizarre. there should be no difference, maybe theres a software error causing that. all the different modes do is change the roll-on characteristics, but once you really get up there, all the different lines on the proverbial graph tie together so at pretty high rpm, it should be the same. according to that test, its definitely not. id be VERY curious to know what yamaha says about that. i leave my bike in pwr2 all the time. its a little on/off, yes, but i use the rear brake to deal with that, if needed.

 

i leave mine on pwr2 also.


im not really sure about the tests, but i know the bike does limp in d mode. so maybe there is a little something to it :dunno

 

I would say their findings are with the tc system turned on? theres even a setting in the FT software that puts the bike into dyno mode.

 

Thanks guys.... I tried Power 1 vs Power 2 and seem to like the throttle characteristics of Pwr2 more..

Smoother wheh shutting off and accelerating...

Mine has the SBU flash and Motion Pro throttle with the race cam. I think I prefer pwr 2. Pwr 1 is smooth enough now (not as smooth as pwr 2) but the intervention of the lift control is too abrupt at the rate the front lifts in pwr 1. I don't have much seat time in pwr 1 so my preference may change over time. It'll be next spring before I'm able to get it on track to see if there are any differences with the lap times.

 

The Woolich is fairly new to me, but the things I've learned as I've played around so far. All of the power modes are the same engine map unfortunately, as was mentioned it's the throttle sensitivity that changes and nothing more. - the "dyno mode," I believe is the same as the "wheel speed fault code elimination," found within the Woolich. It basically just stops the system from monitoring those features and tripping a light, not much else involved with that one. Finally, the biggest factor in smoothing out the throttle response for me on/off throttle was eliminating fuel cut. Letting it gas, makes the on/off transitions so so much smoother and will be a blessing on track.

 

use 2 most time,1 is too sensitive, specially when you want to maintain a speed on highway, 2 will make you more steady in corner, just need to give more throttle its same fast as 1.

 

pwr1

 

Had my bike on a dyno and Mode b pwr 1 made very slightly more hp down around 4k rpm and the same peak compared to mode A pwr1

 

My son has a 2016 R1 with one of your flashes, running a mid pipe and Yoshi can. This bike is very twitchy and prior owner said to keep it in mode 4 with it being least twitchy. It also pops a little on deceleration. Son is using the bike for canyon and tracking, mostly tracking. Is the twitchiness unusual for a R1? Since you work for SBU I would think if anybody should know it should be you!
Thank You

I dont work for SBU. I run a legal dispensery in CA.
But what you describe is the tune I have. Pw1 is agressive with throttle imput. 4 is the
most linear of the maps and I enjoy that the most. Decel pops are common with this mapping.

May run into you some day. My son and I lover the track since we liver in San Diego being so close. Chuckwalla was the track for us for a few years but the drive is a killer, we rent a cottage the night before and still kicks our behind when driving back from a track day.
Thank You
