ECU Re-flash in USA

[mecki]

So what is that supposed to tell us?
You have to go at least over 120 mph before you get 'real uumph'?
That'll cost you your license in this country!
What has speed to do with power output anyway?
Wouldn't it make more sense to show rpm instead of mph?
My GTR revvs at just over 4000 rpm at 90mph in overdrive and to get her to really take off I will probably have to switch down 2 gears (which I wasn't allowed to do so far since I'm still running the engine in).
If you want maximum torque at low rpm get yourself a V-twin or a 1250 Bandit (96 BHP @ 3500 rpm) or better even a Diesel engine ;-)

Dyno graph attached, make of it what you want :-)

Hi Andy!
What is it? Stock motor? Modified?

Please see subject line; "Dyno graph attached, make of it what you want :-)"

Dyno runs are invariably done in top gear, It's just the way he's cropped the graph / RPM. Electric bikes have max torque from zero RPM, do you recommend them?  :) Don't think you should have to change down at 90 on a 1400.....

Well, at the moment I wouldn't, but once somebody comes up with a good fuel cell or battery, which I believe has probably already been invented but so far kept under wraps by the oil-multis, I sure would prefer that to a petrol engine. No chain or shaft drive, no gear box just a motor directly on the wheel. A lot less pollution and noise as well. With oil rapidly running out and petrol prices rising to unaffordable heights, we'll all be riding electric bikes in the not too far future.

That is a beautiful power curve Andy.
It's smooth and consistent.
I'll bet the torque curve that goes with that is flat as a pancake which is exactly what ya want on a big ST bike.

It's not about speed or peak power. On a Tourer or an ST it's all about ride-ability.
A flat torque curve means less gear changes are needed to get reasonable acceleration.
If you do want sports behavior, then change gear, just like you have to on a sports bike.

My biggest bugbear on the GTR is the snatchy throttle which I hope the ECU flash will help with.
Other than that I'd be happiest with a moderate boost.
I don't want ultimate power (buy a ZZR1400), nor ultimate economy (buy a C50 ;D).
I want a smooth pleasant but still fun GTR1400.
