Guhl's ECU Flash For The Kawasaki Concours 1400 / GTR 1400...Group Buy?

[Conrad]

Yes, I did.

Oh well, that's good. Care to share that info with the class? If it's not too much trouble that is.

    You have to be careful what you say to me.  You know I'm a screwball by nature...

I know he supports the Area P and K&N combo which is what I have.  There are other combinations as well.  He told me he has done bikes from 09 on up.  08/09 are similar.  I think whomever sets this up needs to get that piece of information for each rider and verify with Don that he can do it for them.  I did ask about any ABS issues with the reflash and he said that he had none as far as he knew.  I don't want to lose that feature.

My ECU arrived at Guhl this morning. I can test that as mine is an ABS bike.

What exactly did you ask Don to program into your ECU?

I have a 2010 with ABS and Traction Control work per normal, same with ABS.

The Guhl Flash has been rock solid.

Better low end power which I assume is accomplished by opening the fly's sooner and remove the speed limiter. Also confirmed that if and when I add aftermarket exhaust he would flash again for the cost of shipping only.

[Conrad]

Thanks guys.

He also told me that if you have an aftermarket can (not full exhaust), that'll get a different tune that a bike with a potato launcher.

Excellent! Have you had a chance to actually get ABS to kick in?

[ZG]

I'm sure ZG,  he's a swinger.... and well known... , would go to the OTHER forum  and post the same deal

Nope, I'm not in on this one Cuda, I pulled the flies and did a custom map on a dyno for my PCV, I'm good. 

[stewart]

Yes several times due to sand on the road. The bike functions normally in every aspect other than the tweaks to the fly's and maps, which is why I went the flash route. Obviously if you ask to have the rev and speed limit raised, that will also change. But I didn't.

Thanks Stewart! Good news indeed!

Guhl just called, they received my ECU this morning, flashed it and it's already on it's way back by FedEx. Weather permitting I'll be checking it out this weekend. That's customer service!

In case it hasn't been covered, just make sure you disconnect the battery before you plug it back in. I didn't (lazy) although I had no issues, I did experience on startup the dash reporting a F1 error. I turned the bike off then on and everything was ok, never to be seen again. I recall others reporting the same thing so it may just be the bike getting over a hang-over of loosing its brain for a while.

Enjoy.

Thanks again! It never occurred to me but good safety tip.

[gPink]

  Did you not disconnect the battery to remove the ecu?

[VirginiaJim]

  good way to fry anything electronic    Lord knows, I've fried my share....cut a 120v power cord with dykes (got a small mushroom cloud with that one), fried a very expensive tape backup drive,  and on and on and on.  You would think I would learn.  Just yesterday I left the oil cap off the Prius after checking it....  Nothing to do with this of course, but I think my mind may be going, if it hasn't already.
