The bike will EASILY lift in second now and pulls hard to redline - which Ivan raises to 11,600 rpm (+300 from stock). The bike rips now, the lack of snatch combined with the smooth power delivery (and the light front end) makes powering out of corners pure joy. Lots of vibration and a hell of a lot of engine braking from these triples with the Yamaha flash for sure. I do remember it coming up easily in first and taking a bit more effort in second but still possible to power it up. To be perfectly fair I didn't ride the bike all that long with the stock flash before I sent the ECU off. I love this motor and with the Yamaha flash there is no shortage of power. Low speed control and corner exit throttle is MUCH improved. Not the case, the bike responds as smoothly and consistently as my perfectly fuelled throttle cable driven carb'd FZ1. While speaking with Ivan he mentioned the bike will behave as close to a cable driven bike as a wire throttle bike can - which I took as the possibility that there still may of been some slight niggles in the on/off throttle transition. I rode the bike around few more times and while getting used to the snatch and adjusting my riding so it was much less pronounced it was still irritating to say the least.įor me and my own perception the snatch is eliminated. Coming off my perfectly fuelled throttle cable driven carb'd FZ1 this was a pretty big difference. On my first ride home from the sellers house I didn't think it was ALL that bad until I stopped to put it in A mode, rounded a corner and got on the gas exiting the corner. I read a lot about this bike before I bought it, including all the horror stories about they jerky drive by wire throttle. Throttle response/snatch - We all know this is the biggest issue with this bike Since getting the ECU back I have never tried the other modes. All comments below relate to the bike in A mode in both cases. One of the options of the flash is to have the bike start up in A mode - which I did. I agree, these bikes don't make a ton of power but with their ample low end torque it's nice to have them as smooth as possible. He also mentioned that for his particular bike that the ECU makes a much larger contribution to enjoyment than the exhaust does. Ivan noted his flash can handle 95% of what you throw at it, and fine tuning (if needed) can be done with a fuel controller (PC). I am still (for a few more days) running the stock exhaust. I never rode the bike with original Yamaha flash as I bought it used. My bike is a 2014 with the 2015 updated Yamaha flash. The ECU was turned around very quickly and I eagerly slapped it in. I chatted with Ivan and mailed out my ECU. Not much to say here that wasn't mentioned above. I began talking with Ivan about his fix for the FZ-09 and was impressed with what he had to say and knowing that his products work - the decision was made. Ivan has always answered quickly and honestly and I have come to know him a straight shooter who will tell it like it is. Over the years I have constantly bombarded Ivan with technical questions which were quite often not even related to his products. With both versions the bike ran flawlessly and exactly how he describes on his website. I purchased his MB Jet kit, and later switched to his POD kit. I first became aware of Ivan when I purchased my first gen FZ1 about 5 years ago. Reason for choosing Ivan's Flash vs the competitors Previously my bike had the 2015 updated Yamaha flash, which will be used as the baseline. Here is my review of Ivan's ECU flash for the FZ-09 which I have been running for about 3000 miles.
