Well when you're dealing with a bike that's so old and hasn't been produced in over 30 years and no one in the US works on it, you're kind of winging it.
Without a doubt, lol; just a rib at ol' Dan. I had a 89 XT600 I was working on and while they weren't as scarce as the Harley, parts here in the US weren't exactly common.
Love how the FTECU team has made a note in their manual to not place the ground where Jake The Garden Snake did in his video. Shout out to the garden snake!
After spending several days online doing research .. I same to the same Conclusion that Jake did.. I also found Velox Racing in my searches he seems to be the only business out there that has made a video on FT ECU .. he does reply his e-mails .. Supposedly the FZ-07 has pulled timing in 1st and speed and is speed limited in 5th and 6th .. I too like the strong engine braking with full fuel shut off when you are off the throttle .. It could be too abrupt for racing on the track but saves using your brakes on the street .. Plus my stock bike runs even leaner because of E-10 gasoline ..
I kinda want an R7 for my next bike. ECU Flash, Airbox, Filter, and Toce exhaust of course. Coming from a fully tuned R3 with all the same upgrades making 43RWHP over the stock 37RWHP. Burnt my clutch up though, lol wheelie practice. 😅 A turbo R7 would be epic, but it’s almost just worth getting an R6 and making it a bit more comfortable.
My 07 has a full Yoshi. Coming from a DRZ I'm very happy with the power. But I may invest in this ECU mod. Looking forward to the intake video! thanks Jake
really awesome stuff and i like these types of stuff (even tho i gonna be a aircraft mechanic not a motorcycle mechanic) but im alway interested to watch
I have a question about your kid's mini jeep in the background; Did you put that image of a motorcycle rider in the mirrors to teach her to look out for riders while she's driving? That's smart.
You're better of checking the continuity of a suspected ground point and a known ground. It's easier this way too if you have a meter with an audible continuity mode.
I got the power commander V and the auto tune on my fz07 took 1 hour to install it was very easy.. and it gave my bike much more horsepower. I don't see any limitations with it though. but I'm also not a mechanic lol
+CruzinMoto New bike ECUs are weird. At certain rpms and throttle positions it can flip from closed loop to open loop. This throws piggy back tuners for a loop (no pun intended). Also I can remove top speed limiters and make changes to all kinds of other elements.
I'm really surprised. The ECM tuning port came stock on my Buell..and its a 2003. All I needed was the 4 pin to USB dongle. I would have thought that this would be stock on newer, more advanced bikes
I bought my bike (2015 GSXR 600) with a full yoshi exhaust. The bike had 511 miles on it and the dealership said it was tuned. They also said it had a power commander but it didn't. So I have no idea what was done. My bike does two things. 1.) it pops and crackles loudly when I decelerate from a higher RPM. The baffle does help with this though... so I assume it just needs more back pressure for the current tune? 2.) when cruising around 4500-5500 rpm the bikes tone gets much louder. It will get quieter (normal sounding) when I slow down or when get into the power band. I can definitely feel a lack of power when it gets louder also.
+Viper Motovlogs That's such a dealership thing to do. "Yeah its tuned i swear." The kit for my bike was $340. Might be a good investment for you. Definitely sounds like its lean and has some hiccup spots.
Jake, IV looked on that website and there's two flash kits... they seem similar but I can't tell what the difference is. which one did you actually get!
i seen a video where a guy was laying on his motorcycle texting while riding. idk bout anybody else but as dangerous as that is i give him respect for at least staying in his lane
very helpful jake you seem to know your shit , I just purchased a power commander 5 and already returned it before opening the box due to them have no maps for my bike . how would you rate the difficulty of the programming software for a novice . I don't want to turn my bike into a giant paper weight . thanks
which model exactly did you use of flash tuner and did you need anything else? just bought a FZ-07 and even though i've been working on bikes a long time i havent gotten into ECU tuning before. also out of curiosity what kind of power gains did you get from the pipe/tune combo? did you ever change the injectors?
The core moto brake lines, the link brings me to 3 different options. I have the exact same bike as you. Which ones will fit? I want the stainless steel ones.
Hey, thanks for putting the time and effort in. You've helped me make a lot of choices (FZ07 and zipper hoodies). I noticed FT tuner offers an auto tune product. Do you think this is necessary or are you satisfied with the ECU flash? Thanks
+RushDark Yes sir. Everyone knew about this 10 years ago. Not sure when it stopped being common knowledge in the motorcycle community. But sorry to break the news.
hey jake ... question for ya ... witch ecu kit did you get ? the one I see you have there has 3 wires .. and the ones I see on the website has more then 3. im a new rider and I know nothing about bike but I wanna learn to do my our work . thanks brotha man .
Hali Moto because people think tuning is like a god thing to do, they think if they mess something up their bike is going to blow up (which it could lol) but it's simple if you follow the right rules
Where can you find fuel maps and how do you know it the right one, example if you wanted a 2 brothers exhaust where would you find a map for that exact fuel to air ratio? Could you also do it yourself?
I think I'll still have to get the PCV since the flash one only has it for Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha but I have an Aprilia. Also another Q is how does this system have more tune-ability than a PCV cuz you just used the PCV maps?
+The Muscle Biker PCv can't remove the factory restrictions. It can only tune the fuel and ignition and can't always control it as well as flashing onto the base map.
Ahhh I see. On the RSV4 forums they say to get a specific Race tune from Akraprovic and you send your ECU to them and your bike's VIN for verification. I know it's more than a regular tune though i guess I'll get that done thanks man
If I were to do this, I'd be shitting myself knowing that I may mess up at any point and cause irreparable damage to a 7k bike . You're working on it as if it's a worthless bicycle. But, obviously you have the expertise and seem to be doing a lot of research beforehand. Kudos to you sir! Ps- I don't even own a bike. I just went down through the TH-cam rabbit hole researching MT07s.
Hey jake, did you have to change the fuel map from the one you imported in the video to run the exhaust with the baffle out? I have a M4 exhaust and I’m hooking up my FT ECU harness today, just wondering since there isn’t a power commander map that specifically says baffle out for the Two bros or the M4 Just wondering what you did, thanks man!
What temp does the radiator fan typically turn on? I adjusted mine in FT to 185-195 and even set it at 140 to see if it would kick on, but it has not kicked on once. Not sure why. Any help would be appreciated.
So I understand you can remove engine breaking and adjust thermostat with this but then youre just downloading a powercommander map so the fuel/air mixture with this ecu reflash is the same as it would be with a power commander, right? Maybe, I'm missing something. What happens when you add the exhaust? How will you get the reflash map to consider both your air filter and exhaust? Another power commander map perhaps?
Yes, you’ll use a different power commander map for different exhaust mods /air mods. The benefit with this setup over a power commander is that you have much more versatility and reliability.
Apparently, I bought the wrong kit... I got the bench mount instead of the permanently wired one. Oops. Anyway, I'm trying to download off the power commander's website for the stock exhaust and DNA air filter, but their downloads seem to be broken. Any ideas? I'm eventually going to get my exhaust installed, but it's not there yet.
I would like to inform all upcoming customers to look into Woolich Racing Tools or something else, instead of FTECU, it is a shit company. For example, this thread is going on for months now: forum.ftecu.com/discussion/383/problem-quickshifter-mt07/p4 It is not the only example, actually, the FTECU tuning suite is useless, without their products, and only theirs, you're unable to do dyno runs, without spending hours and hours making an custom map. The unrestricted mapping is fake too, it is computer generated and does not work well at all. Also for people thinking, cheap tuning, it is not, I spent nearly 1k now and it is running fine, however an tuner could have done it for me by now.
How do I backup my ECU before making changes. I want to read all of my stock ECU settings and save them to a file first. Is that possible? (I don't want to trust a file that comes with the FTecu unit that they say is stock. I want to read my stock settings directly from my ECU.)
hey, so i hope you can help me. i just got this kit for my 07 fz1 and im having trouble with remapping my bike, basically i cut out snorkel and put an aftermarket exhaust on my bike, and i dont know where to go with mapping fuel, or anything. pc sites have good info but no one has really done what i have to their bike and i want to make sure im doing it right. can you help me?
Just to blast some extra info out there... If you are having trouble getting a response from your ECU when you try to flash It could be the ground. The one Jake uses in the video isn't the best.
Hey Jake, I just bought a used FZ 07 with an M4 slip-on already pre-installed. The bike acts a little weird sometimes and I think it might be due to needing an ECU flash. Where did you download your fuel map from?
Jake, Thanks for this video I have a quick question. In order to flash the ECU does the bike need to be completely stock? I purchased my FZ07 with a Akra exhaust and hasn't been tuned to my knowledge. I do not have the stock exhaust to reinstall, what do you suggest? Thanks -BD
Fucking beauty job Jake! These average joe vids are exactly what I'm looking for. You're tapping you into your views want to say "Yes I can do that!" Instead of "I wish I could do that." Well done brother! Keep it up
I love these series, you have so much knowledge on bikes, plus I lurn something every time I watch. Thanks JakeTheGardenSnake, keep riding and stay safe.
Great tutorial Jake. I have an M4 slip on and had my ECU flashed by 2WDW. If I put on a K&N filter, do you think it would have any effect on my flashed ECU? (really don't want to send it in again). Thanks.
Awesome video! It made me want to order the FTecu kit you got and now I feel confident installing it :-) Have you looked into the FTecu ActiveTuning kit as well? I heard good things about it, apparently it "live tunes" the bike when its in closed loop in conjunction with the data link you installed. It also has the awesome Bosch 4.9 wideband O2 sensor - I have this sensor installed in my car for tuning and for my wide band gauge. I ordered both, can't wait to get em!
its the data link. The cable he shows us how to install is what makes it the bikeside kit. The bench top kit is designed for you to flash the ECU OUTSIDE of the bike.
Ok I gotta show my dad all ur BSOS vids cuz he's a car mechanic and I got him into bikes and I want to customize my bike so I've gotta make him a CUSTOMIIIIIZEeeeEEeeEeErrrrrrrrr
Holy shit! It's nice to see such coherent and confidence inspiring content coming out now. It's cool how I feel like the material is substantial and I'm not just watching lame filler shit. Keep up the good work
I've had my fz07 for almost two years it's my first bike, I have wanted to do the mods in your series the whole time but I put it off because I didn't have the confidence to do it myself. Now I have your videos and I"M DOING ALL OF THEM you are my fz07 God.
@@Mech.E I'd say it depends on your expectations, if you think these mods will make you Valentino Rossi or double your horsepower you will be greatly disappointed I for one got great satisfaction out of getting to know my bike working on it and making it my own the difference in some mods is more obvious than others, for some if you do one and you want any benefit you have to do another like for this video if you do the flashtune I would also go for their autotune tri-lamda sensor which doubles the price of the flashtune kit but is totally worth it, but the sensor they use is larger than the stock so you might as well get an exhaust that takes the larger sensor. With a new exhaust and the basic flashtune kit my bike ran like crap, with the autotune upgrade it runs great
@@Second_Opinion_2 appreciate it! Interesting because no one else mentions the autotune o2 sensor. I'm currently looking around for a used mt07 wish me luck !
@@Mech.E They don't mention the sensor but some do mention putting the bike on a dyno to tune it which accomplishes the same goal Dyno will give you a great fuel map for whatever the current environmental conditions are, that day, for the price of one dyno session the autotune sensor tunes the bike on the fly as you ride so you don't have to worry about seasonal changes, elevation or anything else, unless you you have cheap unlimited access to access to a dyno I think it's the way to go Good luck
You are a fucking legend the times i watched this video and u saved me. Thats it im throwing some money in your patreon idk how that works but u deserve it.
This is super cool! I didn't know anyone made a kit like this! Screw power commanders, they don't even come close to control level you get when you can tune the factory ECU. I especially like the permanent wiring harness addition that lets you tune the bike without ripping everything apart and pulling the ECU off.
finally someone to follow who is like-minded with fz07 mods. Right now as far as performance mods i have a full akra carbon exhaust and im going to grab a hord intake as well (also considering the DNA stage 2 based off of your recommendation) . I will def be getting this tuner....my question is where and or how did you download the maps, Im by no means a mechanic but if theres a youtube video on something i can be a brain surgeon lol thanks in advance!
Hey Jake, been following since 2011 or so. I like this series and the fact that you are actually doing it in a way that can walk people through modding their bikes. However, I did notice something in this video. What you are referring to as "decel ignition cut" is actually a fuel cut when under decel. It's actually pretty common among both OEM and aftermarket ECUs. Also, just an FYI, the reason it took so long to flash the first time is because you are having to flash an entirely new OS (similar to windows, but serves a different purpose) onto the bike, whereas your later flashes are just updating values stored in the ECU. Also, I don't have the software package you are using, but I'm going to make an educated guess, based on the values in the map you were using that it is just a way of altering the factory map. Oh, and I hope you saved a separate copy of your original tune, 'cause it's always nice to be able to go back to square one if need be. Anyways, keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos, so thanks for putting in the time and effort to produce them.

Can you send the exact link to the flash kit for the fz07? There’s 2 different ones
I love these series, you have so much knowledge on bikes, plus I lurn something every time I watch. Thanks JakeTheGardenSnake, keep riding and stay safe.
My question is, when are you gonna sup up that convertible in the back to 💯
this really seemed a lot more simpler than i thought it would be.
It's the pin exactly behind #6. The pins are 6 13 and 22. You're welcome.
Hey Jake
Just wondering if this system would work with my 2014 model?!
how you have your bike so clean? Also inside the frames!
Which one is it exactly there are a ton of different options on the website?
Huah
Great tutorial Jake. I have an M4 slip on and had my ECU flashed by 2WDW. If I put on a K&N filter, do you think it would have any effect on my flashed ECU? (really don't want to send it in again). Thanks.
That K&N shouldn't make enough of a difference. You'll probably be ok but watch my next video ;D
For sure Jake, thanks.
Awesome video! It made me want to order the FTecu kit you got and now I feel confident installing it :-) Have you looked into the FTecu ActiveTuning kit as well? I heard good things about it, apparently it "live tunes" the bike when its in closed loop in conjunction with the data link you installed. It also has the awesome Bosch 4.9 wideband O2 sensor - I have this sensor installed in my car for tuning and for my wide band gauge. I ordered both, can't wait to get em!
Did you buy the data link or the bench kit? I have no idea which one to get lol.
im trying to figure this out too
its the data link. The cable he shows us how to install is what makes it the bikeside kit. The bench top kit is designed for you to flash the ECU OUTSIDE of the bike.
I'm going to drop kick you if the next upload isn't an exhaust
toshiro hitsugaya do it i dare u
Ok I gotta show my dad all ur BSOS vids cuz he's a car mechanic and I got him into bikes and I want to customize my bike so I've gotta make him a CUSTOMIIIIIZEeeeEEeeEeErrrrrrrrr
This video made me subscribe. I hope things are going well btw
I shit you not this is so much more understandable and helpful vs all those "professional tutorials"
Holy shit! It's nice to see such coherent and confidence inspiring content coming out now. It's cool how I feel like the material is substantial and I'm not just watching lame filler shit. Keep up the good work
I've had my fz07 for almost two years it's my first bike, I have wanted to do the mods in your series the whole time but I put it off because I didn't have the confidence to do it myself.
Now I have your videos and I"M DOING ALL OF THEM you are my fz07 God.
How much of a difference does it make?
@@Mech.E I'd say it depends on your expectations, if you think these mods will make you Valentino Rossi or double your horsepower you will be greatly disappointed
I for one got great satisfaction out of getting to know my bike working on it and making it my own
the difference in some mods is more obvious than others, for some if you do one and you want any benefit you have to do another like for this video if you do the flashtune I would also go for their autotune tri-lamda sensor which doubles the price of the flashtune kit but is totally worth it, but the sensor they use is larger than the stock so you might as well get an exhaust that takes the larger sensor. With a new exhaust and the basic flashtune kit my bike ran like crap, with the autotune upgrade it runs great
@@Second_Opinion_2 appreciate it! Interesting because no one else mentions the autotune o2 sensor. I'm currently looking around for a used mt07 wish me luck !
@@Mech.E They don't mention the sensor but some do mention putting the bike on a dyno to tune it which accomplishes the same goal
Dyno will give you a great fuel map for whatever the current environmental conditions are, that day, for the price of one dyno session the autotune sensor tunes the bike on the fly as you ride so you don't have to worry about seasonal changes, elevation or anything else, unless you you have cheap unlimited access to access to a dyno I think it's the way to go
Good luck
Will this flasher work with the restricted mt07 ?
Great video Jake, the best yet in your bolt shit on series.
What's your opinion on the EJK (electronic jet kit) they advertise you can adjust your tuning on the fly, seems like a good idea for my grom
You are a fucking legend the times i watched this video and u saved me. Thats it im throwing some money in your patreon idk how that works but u deserve it.
This is super cool! I didn't know anyone made a kit like this! Screw power commanders, they don't even come close to control level you get when you can tune the factory ECU. I especially like the permanent wiring harness addition that lets you tune the bike without ripping everything apart and pulling the ECU off.
finally someone to follow who is like-minded with fz07 mods. Right now as far as performance mods i have a full akra carbon exhaust and im going to grab a hord intake as well (also considering the DNA stage 2 based off of your recommendation) . I will def be getting this tuner....my question is where and or how did you download the maps, Im by no means a mechanic but if theres a youtube video on something i can be a brain surgeon lol thanks in advance!
scosta2315 you figure out your question yet?
I too would like to know please :)
scosta2315 did you figure it out than?
Need to know
The most comprehensive list I've found is from the power commander website.
Hey Jake, been following since 2011 or so. I like this series and the fact that you are actually doing it in a way that can walk people through modding their bikes. However, I did notice something in this video. What you are referring to as "decel ignition cut" is actually a fuel cut when under decel. It's actually pretty common among both OEM and aftermarket ECUs. Also, just an FYI, the reason it took so long to flash the first time is because you are having to flash an entirely new OS (similar to windows, but serves a different purpose) onto the bike, whereas your later flashes are just updating values stored in the ECU. Also, I don't have the software package you are using, but I'm going to make an educated guess, based on the values in the map you were using that it is just a way of altering the factory map. Oh, and I hope you saved a separate copy of your original tune, 'cause it's always nice to be able to go back to square one if need be.
Anyways, keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos, so thanks for putting in the time and effort to produce them.
