Old Ivan Package (can be done with, or without full exhaust - full exhaust makes more peak power but similar down low:ĮCU + Power Commander.(there are more or less expensive power commander options). Even if there would be another couple hp in getting the tune specifically for the stock exhaust, the rideability has improved so much that I am happy.Īlright, let me try and be super comprehensive to clear this up. I told me he'd be happy at any time to go back to a flash+PC if I wanted it, but I think I am more than happy with the current setup. According to him, he wasn't concerned at all about using it on my essentially stock bike. PS: One minor thing of note, Ivan mentioned that the ECU tune was actually done on a bike with the full Akro setup. For anyone on the fence about doing this upgrade, especially considering the now cheaper cost of doing it, definitely take the plunge. I can't wait for summer where I'll be reaping the benefits of the lower fan turn on temperature as well. I am also convinced that the higher RPM's have become less buzzy. I no longer need or desire to do this at all - rolling on the throttle again is buttery smooth. I previously used a bad habit, where I would slip the clutch a bit as I rolled on the throttle to prevent the imbalance caused by the jerkiness of the throttle response. Not only is there WAAAYYY more power, but it is also significantly smoother. I still have a stock cat/midpipe with slip ons, so while there is a bigger hit (and meaner snarl) in the top range, the biggest difference is down low.

I just got back from my first day out since the upgrade and wow, what a transformation below 6,000 RPM. I installed the air filter and block off plates as well and boy what a difference. In my case, I don't plan on any further updates, so just the ECU was fine with me. This saves you the money of having to buy a power commander, but also means that if you ever wanted to go get dyno tuned, you'd have to buy a power commander first. He called me and said that he is now offering a new package - one that you don't need the power commander for! He said that he essentially has added all of the tune to the ECU, enabling someone to get just an ECU flash and get the benefit that previously required the ECU + PC. Ivan's FJR flash is here and it works.I just recently sent my ECU out to Ivan expecting to get the ECU flash, power commander, air filter, and block off plates. Cruise control works, no feel for fuel mileage yet with the short rides. Overall the engine is smooth and responsive regardless of which drive mode is running. It's going to be my new favorite! Touring and Sport modes keep the same throttle response but with better feel due to the new fuel/ignition maps. Linear throttle, not as stupid aggressive as Sport but allows a smooth controlled rush as the revs build. I would say it's now on par with a C14 for smoothness. Bar vibration / tingle *seems* to be reduced even further. Removing the HVMP bar ends and adding VStrom hand guards helped dampen things down. My '15 has never been particularly smooth, always had a tingle through the bars. I purposely slowed down more than normal for a couple 2nd gear corners, the transition back to throttle was flawless. The off-on throttle transition is much better than stock. Riding it feels like a race-horse straining at the reins, poised and ready to run.ĭriveability is improved. Engine *feels* more willing, alive, playful.ready to rev. Wife says the bike has a different (throatier) sound now. First, rest assured we didn't lose any of that wonderful low end torque.The flash simply builds on that and continues to pull harder all the way up. Hard for me to put the description in words. With work and the time available, my (two) rides have been limited to my favorite twisty back roads so there hasn't been much opportunity for higher speeds.

I'll fess up first.my flashed ECU came yesterday and I held out on y'all to get another ride in today.
