Is flashing ecu safe motorcycle4/1/2024 Just a couple key areas I was really impressed with: The 60-70 mph roll-on in the higher gears (5, and OD) it's really impressive the difference in throttle response and torque just cruising at highway speeds, and rolling on the throttle with this flash - with a stock ECU, it feels a bit "boggy" and piggish, and with the flash it just shoots forward like a rocket, very crisp and articulated. I actually did my best to go into it being a little skeptical, just because I didn't want to preempt myself that it was the greatest thing in the world before I even had a chance to ride the bike. I won't do a super lengthy review because there is already a wealth of info backing up how worthwhile Steve's flashes are. Just installed the ECU with SISF "Evolution" flash on my 2012 C14. Pics of the day (his old yellow 1999 R1100S he traded is shown, the new bike is red) This is where ROC (Ride of the Century) is based out of, that's stunter lunacy. We stopped at a 'stunter' bar in St Louis for lunch called Shady Jacks. The entire experience made me like my C14 even more. Not surprising, ithe K1300S weighs 550 lbs and has 175 hp at the crank. My C14 with the SISF had more low end (2-6k) but probably lost out a bit above there. I'm quite sure it's stable but don't plan on snapping it around. The wheelbase is, well, think oil tanker? Steered like a truck. I was only limited by the fact that it had old tires on it, but I wrang its neck well. It's a Hayabusa/ZX14 competitor and the riding position is pretty crotch rockety. On the way home, I rode my buddy's new bike. C14 did damn good though, way more than a brand new, top of the food chain bike. They quoted me just under 18k (can't remember if that was OTD or just the bike, I wasn't gonna buy it anyway. Nice bike, tall, felt light compared to my C14, duh. Tried to wheely it but I think a traction control mode prevented wheelies. Did it over and over, whack it and 2-3k and run it to redline. Ran it up and down a frontage road that was very commercial, had some hills and curves and straights. Rev limiter cut in nicely, not super harsh. I rode it in Dynamic mode (full power).īelow 7k, it was nice but felt gutless. It had 29 miles on it and the rev limiter was 9k instead of 11k. While we were killing time, I got a ride on an S1000XR. We rode from Peoria to Gateway BMW in St Louis so my friend could get a 2011 K1300S with 1700 miles on it.
