If Ted says he got 158 mpg, who are we to doubt him? (Maybe he added in the trailering miles to and from Helen...)
You go, Ted!

Do most of you with the flash still use your ECO mode?
I thought I read that the ECO was untouched by the flash
and that most got better mileage in standard mode than ECO with the flash. Wayne
Somebody help me. When you pulled the ECU, did you disconnect the battery? Would this have reset your average without you doing it manually with the pushbutton?
Did you do anything else that would have reset the average without your intervention. (I mean you disconnected the battery besides pulling the ECU)
Maybe there's something else we don't know about.
Or else... I want the flash you got!
I did and had some interesting side effects when I re-attached it. I'd have to search some to figure out what they were as it was awhile ago. I believe that the vast majority did not disconnect the battery and I also believe that Steve told me it wasn't necessary, yet I did it anyway. I don't think that anyone has had any issues with not disconnecting the battery.
Came across this interesting information in the Kawasaki workshop manual on GTR 1400 ABS and CONCOURS 14 ABS relating to power and torque outputs of the engines in each model.
The Australian GTR 1400 cranks out more power and torque than the US Concours 14 ABS ,which in turn cranks out more power and torque than some European GTR 1400"s.
I don't believe the engines are any different.I think that smokin was referring to the factory ECU flash being different for different parts of the world, not engine differences.
I have all the base tunes, they are all so similar as to be no different in the real world. Steve
Have you already reflashed ECUs from each of those global market areas? If so, way to go Steve!
That makes sense,I known european emission standards are very high,not so much in Australia.
Don't know about the USA emission standards,but I am sure you guys do.
I think that smokin was referring to the factory ECU flash being different for different parts of the world, not engine differences.
If it's not proprietary information, how did you acquire all of those? Have you already reflashed ECUs from each of those global market areas? If so, way to go Steve!
Interesting information Steve regarding dyno"s.My GTR 1400 is a 2014 model,it has cat convertors but no 02 sensors.
Reading some of the information Steve that you have shared on this forum regarding ECU remapping and after market exhaust affecting performance in terms of loss of power due to leaning of the fuel mixture has been very informative.
You obviously have spent a large amount of time and research into achieving your ECU programing,which I applaud you for.
there's no loss of power due to leaning, there's loss of power due to scavenging cylinder pressure, and it'l limited to lower rpm. I did get the power back +, but I had to get creative. Actually the full area p system with my flash gets +5HP at 4000, but you really need WOT to get the advantage. Steve
