ECU Reflash, issue???

[Lumberjack]

I wonder how many others are experiencing pining that don't have BAK's? 3 instances could be attributed to other variables such as bad fuel or temp as you mentioned. I am wondering how many more have constant pinging?

I'm still very happy I did the flash, as the bike runs better in many ways. However, it is not perfect. I'm keeping my eye on this. Could be I need a bit more fuel when accelerating really hard when hot.

I will say that the flash generated a LARGE increase in power, even with stock air and pipes. LARGE.

The bike is a little herky jerky after the flash with the throttle mod. I find I need to be very smooth on the throttle (both accelalerating and decelerating) to avoid jerks. If I had to do it again, I might skip the throttle mod given the reflash.
