FLASH,.... Ahhhhh, saviour of the GTR!

[Boomer]

Ok, w.t.f. am I on about?
Well during my recent visit to Florida I went and visited Steve, purveyor of the SisF Flash for our ECU.
I am now the happy owner of a super smooth, torquey, GTR that has no throttle snatch and goes like stink. 
I had his "Decel Flash" and the difference is remarkable.
Pulls cleanly from below 2000rpm in any gear and in 1st to 3rd pulls like a steamtrain.
This flash is not aimed at top end power, rather smoothness and tractability.
So far this is the best $300 spent on my 1400.

Well technically it didn't cost 300 bucks as you had to get to Florida, spend money on food and drink and a lot more.

But I know what you mean.

I had mine remapped here in the UK and also are well happy, no snatch throttle and smooooth as my new grandson's rear.

[O.C.]

I've been considering a quick flash myself,  but just for even more smoothness, spoke to Dynobike,  however they arent familiar with the GTR and seemed a bit disinterested,  so no decision made

If one flashes. Does it effect your warranty?

[BigAlan]

Well in my opinion your only putting right what was wrong in the first place as Kawasaki use a standard map throughout Europe.

It actually improves the bike to the extent it's a total pleasure to ride leaving you to concentrate on the riding.

Besides, how would they know?

No but you get a hefty fine and a police record    Sorry!

Had mine done in the UK, I concur totally

Sounds like someone with experience

Only if you tell them. There are no outward signs on the bike.
Mine was actually $321 as had to pay Florida sales tax.
Decided to get it done as was headed to FL anyway.
Otherwise you'll have to add shipping both ways to your costs plus possibly getting nobbled for import duty.
Steve did hint that he may have someone in the UK who was doing his Flash for him.
Will ask and let ya know.

Of course as a modification one would have to notify ones insurance.

[O.C.]

would it be wise to discuss with individual insurers a proposed ECU flash before it's done to ascertain if they are prepared to continue providing cover when such a modification is completed, or if a hike in premium should be expected. ?

i reckon so and I'm sure they would charge more!

Doubt if they would understand what you were talking about judging by some of the stupid question's they ask when getting a quote
