I don't have a KTM let alone the need to flash one but I watched all the way through and enjoyed that. Glad it turned out good for you pal. Spanking tutorial!
If I had a KTM I’d be doing that ECU flash, makes you wonder why the manufacturers don’t give you the option of a remapping when you buy one, and that’s any bike really. Great stuff pal and I’m glad it’s made the ride better 🤘🏻 see thee soon pal.
Thanks buddy, its a bit rough around the edges but got the points across, I was very dubious about the whole process before slapping 500 sheets on the idea but very pleased with the results. I just wish I had my SC racing slip on to hear the full power blowing out of its arse. Fasty-Rides
I was really looking forward to watching and learning from this but the background music drove me nuts so I couldn’t finish watching! Your a interesting guy so didn’t need that white noise😂
Yer i get what your saying but the music is supposed to make it easier to listen to. No one wants to hear my daft Yorkshire voice for longer than they have to. haha. Fasty-Rides
Just a quick question, why does the BHP flash tool lock itself to your bike only, what happens to the tool after you’ve flashed it, does bhp do a remap tool that’s reusable for remapping many bikes, am looking for something to add to my Bussines, cheers
A very informative vid Fasty. When you took the positive cover off please tell me that’s fallen into the bike to never be found again 😂. Loving the slippers as well. Oh and Kay said that you want the vibrations. I don’t no what she means by that. Great vid dude
it did mate, went right down into the bastard engine bay. Then slippers are the best ever pal. Kay can have my vibrations, you clearly aren't doing your job right mister. hahaha cheers pal. Fasty
you can also use the flasher tool for reading/erasing error codes you may get aswell, dont ask me why but every time i adjusted my chain i got an error code come up when 1st started, only takes a few mins to delete the codes.
Ah I didn't know you could also use it for that. Don't you find that the chain when set to how the manual says, still feels and looks very slack? Fasty
it does yes so i adjust it same as all my other bikes up and down 20mm ish and that seems to work for me and the quickshifter/blipper seem fine at that setting.
Very interesting, looking to do the same with my BMW K1600. Did I miss the bit where you sent the file off to BHP, it doesn't appear to be in your video?
Thanks for the clear explanation. Do you still have access to the factory flash in case the bhp flash goes sour? Also, is there some sort of warranty and back-up service provided in case of difficulties either during the install or during use?
yes, that is still on the hand held flasher. So going back to stock is just as easy as putting the modified version on the bike. Yes they are pretty good apparently, I didnt need help or anything it was really simple to do. They also have a video on their TH-cam channel showing you how its done. Fasty
@@FastyRides It seems from your assessment the engine vibrations that several owners including me are troubled with are largely cured with this flash. Although I am in Canada my '22 S is also Euro 5 compliant and I guess I would expect similar results from this product. Thank you again.
@@PeterDavid-g2o yes there is a lot of vibrations on the bike. There is a few things I did to help. 1 I always use puppy grips, they help a lot. 2 you can but bar raisers with rubber inserts, which I am buying next. 3, the reflash which helped a lot. reduced the vibes down quite a bit. Fasty-Rides
they can remap it for no cat, you would just have to let them know when ordering. Not sure about KTM remapping the bike. it wouldnt matter anyway as I can just remap it myself with the BHPuk electronic box thingy. Fasty
yer and this things just got a bit madder. insane on the pick up now. Havnt tried turning wheelie control off yet, hahaha ive got to find my balls for that. Fasty
Bloody hell Fasty, the last time I head music like that was last year in the chapel where we were saying our last goodbye to a friend, talk about sombre, I had visions of being dead! Get rid mate and just do the review and walk through. Ps.. £500 for a remap... Jeeeez, BHPs owner will be a happy chappy that's for sure
£500 for a remap! what a rip-off! And you can only use it on one bike? I have 3. xsr 700 sent off ECU 2 days returned. £250. Dyno tune on a 1050 Triumph sport, decatt and sc project end can. £350. funny vid :)
Admittedly it is expensive, but you have to factor in the ref lasher and cables etc you receive in the post, and the ability to either revert back to stock, or reinstall if dealer has updated software.
@@FastyRides That's much better. I'm still sceptical about the whole thing. I'd imagine the KTM engineers know what they're doing. And while I agree, that certain specs on the engine can be altered. The gain in one aspect means loses on other. If your goal is for example racing, your priority is power and not longevity of the engine. Your perceived smoothness of the engine may cause higher running temperatures or other issues. I wouldn't mess with it. I believe in the saying: If it works, don't fix it. On the other hand. If it floats your boat, go for it. Life is short. Happy riding!
@@pajownikThe engineers do know what they are doing. It’s the government mandated BS that foul it up from running by properly. I’d argue it actually runs cooler with greater longevity with it properly sorted out.
@@kj385 I get what you are saying, however. All the reviewers claimed, that the engine in 2021+ model runs smoother than previous gen. Which was euro 4. So is it better or worse? I gues we will never really know. Unless someone does proper, extensive tests.
I don't have a KTM let alone the need to flash one but I watched all the way through and enjoyed that. Glad it turned out good for you pal. Spanking tutorial!
Thanks buddy for watching. Its made the bike more of an animal for sure. Fasty
Great demonstration. I have just ordered a decat link pipe and ECU Flasher from BHP for my Multistrada V4 so I kinda know what to expect now - thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Let me know how you get on. Fasty-Rides
Well explained bud , glad your happy with it , looking forward to hearing your long term thoughts
Cheers pal. I'm already over the moon with it. It really does sort the bike out. Fasty

I think they are not allowed mate due to euro 5 regulations. That's what the remap does, is remove all the euro 5 shite. Cheers pal. Fasty
@@FastyRides ahhhh, I see, just call me mong 😂😂😂
Love it!! Always been interested how they did it all remote! Nice work mate! BHP UK are a bunch of legends!

Would this work on a rc125?

I will have to try this. Thanks for the tip. Fasty
Very interesting, looking to do the same with my BMW K1600. Did I miss the bit where you sent the file off to BHP, it doesn't appear to be in your video?
I don't know why I didn't show that bit. But I think they just send you a file. Probably because I wanted the same map as Sam Vincent. Fasty
It is smoother because of the fatter fuel mapping. A digital "choke" basically.
What ever it is, it works. Haha cheers pal fasty
Can this be done on the 2023 890r?
You will have to email BHP mate. Im not sure about that bike. Fasty
Top review and a great informative video. Now can you buy a BMW GSA and flash that so I know what to expect 😁. Many thanks, Phil.
you sure can, click the link. shop.bhp-uk.net/products/bmw-ecu-flasher
£500 for a flash ? ouch . hope you can feel the difference but i would expect a couple of hours on a dyno for that kinda money
Expensive I guess but the bike does feel a lot better. Smoother power delivery. Fasty
They had my 21 1290 SAS practically all day and it was £440, well worth it in my opinion

Great work. Is it a problem when the bike needs to be services by KTM. Also do they map the bike for no cat?
they can remap it for no cat, you would just have to let them know when ordering. Not sure about KTM remapping the bike. it wouldnt matter anyway as I can just remap it myself with the BHPuk electronic box thingy. Fasty
@@FastyRides I think you'd need to pay BHP again for a new file to be sent
Glorified OBD II scanner($25) and a file for $475!
Pretty much
Any improvement on fuel consumption?
I don't know, I never check that, I fill it and ride it. Fasty
Oh no something else I’ll have to look at.. You sound a happy bunny mate.
hahaha, yer i am completely happy with it. The bike is much smoother in every sense. also i like the new bit of power too. Fasty
@@FastyRides Who doesn’t like more power.. 😏 I’ll be looking to get mine mapped just need to figure out what system I want.
@@motor_ma77 Well I can highly recommend BHP uK. They did a sterling job with my bike.
Very informative video, but can you turn that bloody depressive background music off?
hahaha your the second person to say that. sadly i cant do anything about that now. Fasty
Very informative,I’ve just got one for my bike, what email address did you send your read file to
Cheers
I think I used the email address from their website pal. I don't think it matters which you use as it all goes to the same place. Fasty
@@FastyRides cheers mate, got it sorted and installed 👍
Brave guy , does it effect your warranty ? I’m on a gsa 2021
Not sure carl, If I need to send it in for any work, I can put the original map back on. Its stored in the hand held thingy. Fasty
No disrespect but wouldn't it of been cheaper to just get it on the dyno and get it flashed 🤔
Probably.
Frickin hell, those things are mad without the flash!!
Enjoy it bud, sounds superb on the throttle. Stay safe mate👍👍
yer and this things just got a bit madder. insane on the pick up now. Havnt tried turning wheelie control off yet, hahaha ive got to find my balls for that. Fasty

thanks mate, yer your not the first person to suggest getting shut of it. I might have a think on how i can do it. Fasty
Great content. Shame its lockedto one bike though..one for each bike gets a bit pricey.
Yes I get where your coming from, but I think that's the price of a power commander or possibly more for a Dyno tune. Fasty
More Spankage unlocked. Let the fun begin.
oh yes. lol. Fasty
Is this safe to do on a bike?
It sure is buddy. Fasty
Use the same on my 22 Hyper.. them BHP lads are awesome
yer they did a mint job with mine. happy with the results. Fasty
How much hp gain?
I think it has 170 after the remap. Fasty-Rides
@@FastyRides very nice. Better/worse fuel consumption? Thx
@@jonasbaine3538 I wouldnt really know mate, I just fill it up when it needs it. Oh and ride it like I stole it. hahaha
What's with the funeral music?
What's with the 6 subscribers?
@@FastyRides I didn't know I had 6 subscribers.. bonus😂😂
