What is even better? Ok guys I'm a little confused. You open a separate chart of cells in the software and enter a target AFR value that you want the bike to run at for each RPM and throttle position, and tell the unit to start tuning. These calibration variables are only referred to by the ECU software when needed. I was lucky it didn't blow up. Disclosure: We may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post. When it comes to tuning a fuel-injected motorcycle, you've got two choices: You can install a piggyback module, like a Power Commander, or get the ECU flashed by a company like FlashTune.
We can tune 2, 3, and 4-wheel power sports units with this with its dual drum design trikes and quads are easy to run. In any scenario where the vehicle is not ready when its appointment time comes around, the vehicle owner will be responsible for any labor necessary for repair, and in some cases may need to forfeit their deposit or responsible for any tuning already conducted if the car is not able to be finished during the scheduled appointment. Changes must be written to the ECU, in a processing called flashing. Hence, performing an ECU flash requires a good working knowledge of the process, skills, and experience.
So ecu does the tuning on stock bike. Arriving more than one hour late for an appointment can possibly invalidate an appointment as well, which would also void a deposit refund. A: We have obtained a considerable amount of data by using our flashes on our race bikes and can offer suggested settings, or insight on how each setting works. For example, most tuners can do a pretty decent job tuning a bike with a Power Commander and autotuner in less than a day, but optimizing an ECU flash for a particular year, make, and model bike can easily take over 100 hours on the dyno and racetrack to really fine tune all the available options, especially if you start changing a lot of the OEM hardware like exhaust, camshafts, and velocity stacks. Any information would be appreciated. Here's a screenshot from the software of both units. Q: After I receive your flashed ECU, can I make changes myself? This is where the live changes are made while tuning. If you're going to spend the money for a PC5 might as well spend a little more and get the Aracer mini5. Please consider creating a new thread.
I'm leaning towards the ECU flash. I am going to schedule an appointment to do some dyno pulls to make sure the tune on the ECU is good. The ECU flash does both of these things while also controlling ignition mapping, fan temperatures, rev limiters, OEM o2 sensor functionality, editing individual drive modes, engine braking, velocity stack changeover point, throttle mapping and more. And of course if you've replaced your exhaust system or installed a high-flow air filter, or done any motor mods like a big bore or cams, then you need to tune your fuel (and perhaps ignition timing) to suit the new setup, or you're leaving power on the table. This is where aftermarket race ECUs come into play like the aRacer Mini5 and aRacer Super RC2. The process by which we flash your ECU imposes absolutely no risk to your ECU.
I'm new at this for bikes so I'm not sure whats going on here. Hey all, have a 2021 kvs650. I want to have it tuned to the characteristics of that exhaust. The only thing i would change is more torque in the low rpm range. I put right back together, but I may have screwed it up. I don't have the best understanding of it or how to explain it but I think it's something like that. I can only speculate the reason behind the confusion, as an ECU flash and the use of a module or other piggyback unit are two entirely different things. After that, the systems differ slightly. Are you actually being serious? I have a Power Commander V and understand that the downloaded map from their website is just a ballpark guess. Also, the process of writing changes to the ECU, known as flashing, can take up to 5 minutes. Therefore power commander isnt needed. So my new question is, if I send in the ECU to be flashed and tell them that I have installed the decat dominator pipe, does a custom ECU flash do everything that an onboard tuner like a PC5 would do?
There are some throttle positions and RPM data points that like different air fuel ratios. Q: Is an ECU flash similar to getting a Power Commander or Bazzaz unit? Remove sensors so you do not get error codes. They put one on my pv3 before they sent it to me but I don't think it's compatible with my year of grom or something. The power commander plugs in between your Ecu and fuel injection.
We offer 2 solutions in one facility, we have 2 dynos, yes you read that right. Plug in the Revo System after clearing all existing engine fault codes. Before the bike will accelerate cleanly, these leftover gases, need a good shove to clear them out. C. FRESH ENGINE OIL - we will be running your engine through every throttle position and rpm available you'll want all your oils anti wear additives working in full force for this 3+ hour engine strain. I also have a 3/4 system and I went with a ECU flash. I just want the bike to run right.
However, it is not a Band-aid fix to engine or drivetrain damage resulting from the use of substandard fuel, vehicle abuse, or driver neglect. Flashing the OEM ECU is a bit different than using a piggy-back style system because instead of making changes to the fuel and ignition signals after they leave the ECU, you are able to reprogram the ECU to change the signals from the beginning. FUEL MANAGEMENT INSTALLED PROPERLY – If you or your buddy installed your fuel management system with a couple beers at midnight, there is a good chance a mistake was made. WHY do I need an OFT which a well known mechanic referenced on this very forum says does not really add any power (and that the dyno charts showing they do is total BS)?? But, if its off to the point that I can damage the engine, then I will probably do a custom fueling tune on a power commander as well.
HAVE A GOOD EXHAUST SYSTEM – If you worried about making power or want a dyno number to show your buddies, don't bring us a bike with a welded-on tip or a half system from a back-yard mechanic. The popping from the exhaust on decel sounds like gunshots btw. Any advantage of keeping the PCV if I get it flashed or should I just sell it? I would rank the different setups in this order: 1. When it comes to ECU tuning beyond a standard flash, it's definitely best to go to a professional. I called the shop that flashed it and they said I need to put some miles on to clear the code. They used ECunleashed ( which is apparently an italian company, and they had to communicate with them when their business hours coincide) to flash the ECU. Here are a few of its advantages: - Maximizes thermal efficiency and makes a 25–30% increase in power output possible. You can even hone in on a specific moment in the data if you see something you want to analyze, and look at your fueling tables connected to that moment to see what the MAP pressure was and what your fueling and ignition programming was at that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... This is a nice feature for using the system when you are on a dyno, and makes it a little easier to compare the sensor readings to the sensor readings on a dyno. These symptoms usually indicate incorrect fueling at a given RPM and payload and will need to be addressed individually. Back to the dyno again and you will need to pay for a new fuel map. It wants to be revved to redline now instead of struggling past 8k.
This means that the stock Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which controls when and how much fuel to deliver, via the fuel injectors, delivers fuel amounts based on the stock engine configuration as delivered from the factory. My personal opinion, I don't know why one would be attempting to Max out performance for such a high cost on, at least what I define as, a sport touring bike for the reason of "Racing". The PCV runs the RPMs top to bottom and the throttle position left to right. Piggyback systems are great for adding some features that an OEM ECU does not have. This is why Power Commanders exist. So I kinda don't want all that. An autotune module can be added directly to either aRacer ECU to speed up setup and tuning, and is also far more accurate than piggy back autotuners because the aRacer's autotuner is connected directly to the ECU so it can be used more effectively to adapt fueling to different elevations or fuel. In a TP vs. RPM table data points can be every 10% throttle and 500rpm, while others will have the TP's where riders spend most of their time and less where they don't. Some ECU's have the ability to connect wide band O2 sensors to replace the OEM narrow band sensors and assist with tuning, and some (like the R3) cannot and must be tuned manually or with maps converted from piggy-back controllers. Reduces carbon deposits (making for cleaner emissions), shift flares, and transmission slippage. That's it lolIt's a piggyback ECU. A worn-out chain will cause inaccuracy in dyno readings, mainly shorter gearing reads less power.
D. SPARK PLUGS, they should be in good condition. This article used to be combined with some dyno and exhaust stuff for the Yamaha R3, but with all the different engine tuning options on the market today, I felt it necessary to discuss it a little more and create a separate article. I'm sure there is a technical term for it, but "bung" is the best description I could come up with. This means that when tuning on a dyno fuel changes can be made in real time, while the bike is running, and changes take effect immediately. Q: Does flashing void my warranty?
By changing the parameters going into or out of the factory ECU, the Power Commander can control what the factory ECU tells the motorcycle fuel and ignition systems to do. It reads AFR from the exhaust with a wideband O2 sensor, but it also can read signals from the throttle body's MAP sensor, engine temperature, and other sensors.
Research also suggests that self-forgiveness is associated with lower levels of anxiety, depression (25), and suicidality (26), fewer destructive behaviors including problematic substance use (27), more satisfying and committed relationships (28), and other improvements in both psychological and physical health and wellbeing (24). It is difficult if not impossible to function normally under these circumstances. Woodyatt L, Wenzel M, de Vel-Palumbo M. Working through psychological needs following transgressions to arrive at self-forgiveness. After completing the self-forgiveness modules of the IOK program, veterans often described feeling a sense of profound relief. Hope for healing soul injuries begins when the person. When exposed to PMIEs, people often express anger at the Sacred who they believe has let them down or abandoned them in their time of need.
There is also, as noted, some risk of inauthentic or "pseudo" self-forgiveness. "Accepting PTSD is like taking baby steps. Because these are your bodys way of telling you what it needs. So usually it's hyper vigilance, it's avoidance, it's intrusive thoughts. Researchers measured eye-blink responses to loud noises, respiration rates and self-reported descriptions of participants' PTSD symptoms.

He encounters Father Thomas Keating, a renowned Trappist monk who has counseled veterans for decades, who gently illuminates the need to turn inward to achieve true peace – and gives guidance that culminates in a remarkable inner transformation rarely depicted on screen. In these instances, self-judgment is at the core of moral injury. Our screenings are followed by structured immersion activities that provide opportunities for civilians and veterans to connect their own healing journeys with one another. Dr. William Nash, Director of Psychological Health for the United States Marine Corps. By facilitating initial progress toward self-forgiveness, the clinician can play a crucial role in helping veterans begin to heal from moral injury—a process that will continue long after treatment ends. Wounds to the spirit or soul 1 can be among the most devastating and enduring wounds of war. Dr. Stevens: And so, finding, finding those resources, finding someone that you can process through some of the things-.

When a veteran has committed, in his or her eyes, a wrong so significant that it defines the moral self and cannot be corrected, it may seem like there is no viable path forward. Jim: It was such a pleasure to meet you, and I'm glad we're publishing this book with you. I mean, I so appreciate Ellie's transparency, her willingness to share her wounds. Each then resumed their place in the circle. "Change: Until we realize we are the problem. Sometimes, connections to religious communities can offer some grace and assist Veterans in coming to terms with their internal moral conflicts. This is not a mental disorder", says Katinka Hooyer, PhD, also a character in Almost Sunrise. Forgiveness: A Key Component of Healing From Moral Injury. And it, and you're not measured by those things. And when I have a setback, Ill use it as an opportunity to learn more about myself and how to heal my emotional wounds. Call, let us know how we can help. Assessments were taken at four intervals—before, during, on month later and one year after treatment. Recent studies show that the IOK treatment program (2), which centers on self-forgiveness, can help morally injured veterans feel less depression, anxiety, suicidality, and shame (3, 4). And so, it's just categorizing that in a cluster of, of symptoms. So too is reparative work to make right what was wrong.
At one point, they began making their way to a location high on a steep mountain trail where one of their comrades had tragically died 25 years earlier. Traumatized people are not suffering from a disease in the normal sense of the word- they have become stuck in an aroused state. There's no measuring. Those with the most serious moral wounds isolate themselves from intimate relationships and avoid people and things that once had meaning for them, sometimes losing themselves in the haze of drugs, alcohol, or prescription medications (5, 13, 14).
