ECU re-flash and speed restriction
#1
I am thinking of re-flashing of ECU on my K10 and geting it tuned on the dyno with the new exhaust system. Have a question to the more technically knowedgable members whether the re-flashing of the module takes care of the speed restriction? I have bought the Z bomb for that purpose but now I am not sure if it was just a waste of money. Idiot2

Cheers,

Contact Pete @ Pete's Pitstop (fasterfaster on the forum)....he's the guru when it comes to flashing.

Yes flashing removes the speed restriction's

yep one of the options, leave it on or turn it off , simple tick box

That is indeed the beauty of flashing in that No after market device is required really for any thing. Flashing has come that far since it's introduction that now guys are running gear based boost mapping for turbo applications, seperate fuel maps for NOS applications and even full control of gear shifters. Results with simplicity and no cost of "other" devices makes it a win win application.
Maj has built and set up many turbo configurations and his Gen II fully flashed ECU controlled has to date been his sweetest ride. Pi_thumbsup

Peter,

Got the ECU back and put it in. Since my remote filter instal is finished it was all ready to go. Started sweet and the iddle was steady and even unlike before. The problems start about 6-8k RPM when it wants to blow my new exhaust off (nice blue flames by the way Pi_freak ) Is it too rich or a timing issue? I am planning to get it on dyno for tuning but is it save to ride with it? Idiot2

Andrew I thought you would have recieved ECU back a week ago ? Re problems I need a bit more info re problems ???? Blow exhaust off ? Is it backfiring ? When it's doing this are you under full throttle under load ? light load ? etc etc What other problems between 6 and 8 K
Have you plugged the Pair Hose from the AIR Box ? Is it an ignition FAULT as in are you controlling shifter thru the ECU or with controller supplied. If using shifter controller would suggest disconnect shifter and try again as it sounds like where the prob could lie if it's losing ignition.
From what you describe it sounds like ignition kill is coming in to early ? Check your shifter settings and shift controller set up (I'm presuming your not using the ecu to control shift ? I would flash and control thru the ECU as it uncomplicates things)
Also are you free reving bike in neutral as in stationary or riding it ? (ECU will be seeing neutral map) If this is the case take it for a ride and operate under normal conditions. I'm leaning and looking to other probs beside the map as it would be unusual for ignition and fuelling to be that far out.
In summary if free reving to 6 -8 K in neutral without pair hose being blocked one could imagine this scenario as it burns back thru exhaust, (again I'm only presuming by blowing exhaust off you mean backfiring ?) but once again stress would bring bike back to standard configuration to isolate area of issue first.
Best I can do at this point with limited info ?
Give me a call 0419498858 (tonight if you wish, I just tried calling you re this matter)
What model HM shifter do you have ? From reading their info it's just a foot operated ignition shift kill unit ?
Cheers Pete

Pete,

Thanks very much for the call. I wish I could get such service all the time Smitten You are absolutely right that the combination of the long kill time, PAIR valve and free reving in neutral is causing the backfiring. I will block the air hose to the PAIR valve as you suggested and take it next week on dyno for fine tune-up. I am sure it will be purring like a kitten Lol3

Thaks again,

Andrew
