Flashed mine with a maxx
You local? I see 1 or 2 Moore ecus on their counter every time I'm there. I tell people watch 1 2WDW youtube video and you'll see the difference. Now, they won't give you pops and bangs or raise any Joe Schmos limiter, but they will make your bike run STRONG. BusaRellz just posted a non biased video of his running worse after a moore flash, not sure what that was about.2 Wheel Dyno works is the TOP. They do the best all around ecu flash I've seen. They did my FZ-10 and transformed that bike into what it should've been from the factory. Moore I've heard, and it makes sense, is more of a drag tune. They have some videos up on Youtube if you want to see what they're about. An ecu fash is $350 and they will reflash your ecu for free if you make any mods that would require a new tune. Like you go from slip-ons to a full exhaust for example.
The importance Of Individual Cylinder-Specific ECU Mapping
On virtually every modern motorcycle engine, you have more than one cylinder (with very few exceptions). Even modern entry level motorcycles, such as the Ninja 500, CBR500, etc are small displacement twin cylinder engines. Most "middleweight" bikes these days are twin or triple cylinder engines...2wheeldynoworks.com
Things like this really set them apart from the rest, but their reputation is in track racing where schnitz and Moore have drag cred. A stock engine is a stock engine, though.
That's why I went with Moore Mafia as they have done a lot of differently set up Hayabusas of all model years enough to get it just about on the mark for a canned mail in flash....So, they have a header for every bike that they'll flash an ecu for, and have previously dyno-tuned that model, with their header, with a wideband O2 sensor in each downpipe?
Reading their reasoning makes sense in theory...but if things are that precise...then how are they able to make generic flashes for all of those bikes based off of only one?
I think the issue with any poor performing dyno-tune or mail-in flash is the result of an inexperienced tuner, as there are too many excellent running bikes out there that have been well tuned by very knowledgable people.
This company says that they tune A/F and timing to each cylinder, because every engine is a little different(which technically they are), so again; how can that transfer to a mail-in flash?
And even if they only dyno'd a bike with their header; how can that transfer to any other exhaust, as there will be minute changes in bends, diameters, and lengths there as well, and an ideal aftermarket exhaust works because it has timed the exhaust gas pulses correctly, and a certain amount of back pressure is required, based on engine modifications.
Again, in theory, this tuning each cylinder sounds good, but in reality, I would think is overkill and unesacerry in most cases, again assuming that your bike is tuned by someone knowledgable and experienced.
If this were not the case, we would see poor performance or catastrophic failures often from top tuners, which is not the case.
I would like to hear more on this subject, as I am not sold on it overall.
Do I think that if I was building a LSR bike, turbo, top shelf everything, that a wideband O2 sensor in every down tube, and in the exhaust that was staying on the bike would be beneficial?
Well, it does seem as though it would.
However, would a canned tune based off of this, or even dyno'd with their header, be noticeable at all in the average bolt-on bike? I do not think so, but, as I am not a dyno-tuner, it is not for me to officially say, but I personally do not think so.

With the very specific tune such as the one described, the bike would have to be tuned for it's use at sea level or barometric pressure if it's going to be that precise.....
I can see MotoGP or NRHA going to this length but not the average, everyday rider...
was with the family all morning sorry man I'm drained Those are great questions for 2wdw if you were curious. Just giving a recommendation based on my experience and their knowledge, understanding, etc. I'm not sure what you're to be sold on, I believe this is just how they prefer it and I don't think it can be "noticed" per say but it's better than a pop and bang tune for the same price imo. I can almost guarantee you'll never see a 2wdw flash go to south Carolina.

maxx ecu is like 3000bucks....... My budget is 300usd max
I am getting pops and bangs with my akrapovic full system already with stock ecu lol...You should wait on the flash until you figure out what your final exhaust will be. Moore Mafia can then match the tune to that exhaust.
- I recommend paying extra for the pops and bangs, but I requested it to be mild. Came out perfect. About 1/3 of the time, you'll get a really great growl and sputter when you are downshifting and passing people. Not sure other tuners offer the same thing.
-Mine was an early one for the Yosh AT2, and in first gear in the twisties, the fuel map can be a little Twitchy. I've gotten used to it but I'd be nervous about loaning the bike to anybody. I'm sure he would smooth it out if I send it back but I'm too lazy.
I give myself a discount though lolmaxx ecu is like 3000bucks....... My budget is 300usd max
Pair valve blocked off yet?I am getting pops and bangs with my akrapovic full system already with stock ecu lol...
I have no idea if i should change my final exhaust to brocks penta carbon... They look pretty dope..
But i like my akrapovic's sound
if you're running the stock ECU with a full exhaust, you could be running lean, and that can be a problem. Make a decision and get the flash sooner rather than later...I am getting pops and bangs with my akrapovic full system already with stock ecu lol...

Not yet, i am getting stacks, gen2 cams and pair valve blocked off together soon, then a proper ecu flash.Pair valve blocked off yet?
When the pair is blocked off, it stops the snap, crackle and pop of the exhaust as it's no longer pumping air into the system....Not yet, i am getting stacks, gen2 cams and pair valve blocked off together soon, then a proper ecu flash.
Although i have no idea what does that pair valve blocked off thing do, i see everyone is getting that thing
So basically it does not add any extra horsepower with that thing installedWhen the pair is blocked off, it stops the snap, crackle and pop of the exhaust as it's no longer pumping air into the system....
I have the pair block off system sitting in my garage but haven't installed it as I kind of like the racket when I'm on decel......
From everything I've read about it....all removing it does is stop the pops and bangs....it adds no hp and I've never read about it making anything smoother.So basically it does not add any extra horsepower with that thing installed
Maybe it does make the bike smoother?
doesn't add HP, just a part of the emissions system. Removing it does take off 2ish lbs on a gen 1, though.So basically it does not add any extra horsepower with that thing installed

Okay, for saving some weight, I'm getting that thing.... HahahahFrom everything I've read about it....all removing it does is stop the pops and bangs....it adds no hp and I've never read about it making anything smoother.
Some just do the marble mod and leave it in place.
2lbs wow that is a lot,doesn't add HP, just a part of the emissions system. Removing it does take off 2ish lbs on a gen 1, though.
