For many riders, the desired outcome is to improve the outright performance of their motorcycle and score an impressive dyno chart and maximum power figure. 

This is only one benefit that can be gained by ECU tuning, however the maximum power figure is just one element of the process, and also depends on other factors outside of the ECU flashing itself. With a good tune, you can experience better throttle response and ride-ability from the engine, safer operating temperatures, or even better fuel economy. 

With an ECU flash you have flexibility around adjusting core parameters that are simply not adjustable when compared to some other tuning products. These can include parameters like fan activation temperature, RPM limiter, idle speeds as well as disable certain fault codes, deceleration fuel cut, and top speed limiters. Depending on what is available in the ECU you can also adjust ignition maps, and various other maps like ETV, traction control, injector balance and others. 

Greater flexibility is available with ECU flashing, which also requires more responsibility and potential risk. It is often a good idea to take your bike to a professional. If you do decide to do it yourself, it is worth investing the time to complete our courses, read the user guides and educate yourself on the various maps and settings. It is also advisable to make small incremental changes, testing after each change. This will allow you to make changes while minimizing the chance of damaging the motorcycle.
