Mail in Bench Flash vs ECU Custom Dyno Tuning
When it comes to optimizing your motorcycle's performance, you might be considering a Bench Flash tune or ECU Custom Dyno Tuning. Both are popular options, but they achieve results through different methods.
Bench Flash tuning involves removing your motorcycle's Engine Control Unit (ECU) and connecting it directly to a computer. This allows us to reprogram the ECU's software to enhance performance, primarily by removing emission control restrictions that may be limiting your motorcycle's capabilities, along with some other features for that specific model. Please note that while Bench Flash can improve performance by removing these restrictions and making changes based on experience for that particular model, your motorcycle does not go on our dyno and does not address potential lean or rich running conditions specific to your motorcycle's modifications. It's a quicker way to unlock some of your bike's potential. In cases of derestricting where a mass amount of fueling has been taken out of the program, we do address this on a bench flash. We can also address errors that may have come up due to an exhaust system fitment.
ECU Custom Dyno Tuning on the other hand, is a more in-depth process. It involves making adjustments to your motorcycle's ECU while it's running on our dynamometer. This allows our experienced tuners to optimize your engine's performance under various loads and speeds. By fine-tuning the ECU across the entire RPM range in real-time, we can achieve a more precise and tailored tune, resulting in maximum power and efficiency for your specific motorcycle. Our tuners utilize a variety of tools to ensure your motorcycle performs at its absolute best. We supply a report and graphs so you can understand the changes we have made. And on request, we can take videos and images for you.
So, which option is right for you?
If you're looking for a relatively quick and cost-effective way to address emission control restrictions and potentially see a performance improvement, Bench Flash might be suitable. However, if your goal is to achieve the ultimate level of performance optimization and a tune specifically tailored to your motorcycle, ECU Custom Dyno Tuning is the more comprehensive and superior choice.
