From what Ive learned in terms of research; coupling an ECU flash with a full exhaust kit is the best way to get the most performance. 2WDW has videos up with graphs of coupling the two and the most difference is seen in the 7-9k rev range (mid range) and if you wanted a few extra ponies in the top range, 9k+, you want to add the velocity stacks.
I agree though, in terms of just having a commuter bike with no plans of tracks or twisties, aside from highway pulls.. you don' t really need the ECU flash. Even coupling the exhaust kit, with the stacks, with the flash.. its not needed for regular commuters.
If youre looking for a good full exhaust that couples well with 2WDW flash look into the Leo Vince Factory S Full Exhaust Kit.
My plan is to hit the trifecta because I plan to keep my 500 for a long while. Allegedly getting all 3 mods done can boost HP up to 10+.. more than enough for a casual rider like myself.
Yes this is all very true. Even with all those mods at once your not gonna feel much in the seat anyways. Just experimenting with this stuff just to see what it will do. Will be getting a full exhaust here soon to try it out.
@@SethmotoXthats completely wrong you’ll definitely notice a difference with those mods ive done it on 2 bikes so far and every time it completely wakes up the bike and removes alot of the factory limitations they put on either for emissions or to chill the bike out responsiveness is off the charts compared to stock and at least on 600s it adds a ton of low end torque i haven’t done it to my aprila rsv4 yet so idk how itll react with that exactly
Lol we are talking about 2 completely different bikes. Had you watched the video what I said was "I can't speak for bigger bikes." Sure it makes sense it changes a bigger bike with all the Mods at once. This is just a 500 technically a 451 and theres not much to improve as far as performance. Yes the bike is a little more responsive now and as a little more juice on the top end. But it's not going to be all that noticable. The bike is still going to be a 451cc at the end of the day. I'm glad they helped your bikes out though.
@@SethmotoX I don’t think you realize it doesn’t matter if it’s a bigger bike or not your gonna notice a 10% gain in power according to dyno sheets a stock 500 with just a tune and no mods will gain 7% in power and with a full system, sprint filter and velocity stacks it shoots up to 13% it doesn’t matter what bike it is you WILL notice that difference you ain’t gonna break lap record but you’ll definitely notice and improve your PB plus like I said the responsiveness of the throttle will completely change with how manufacturers limit throttle inputs
LMAO I see you don't read comments either. Fair enough. You literally repeated what I said other than I said I don't know about bigger bikes but if it did it would make sense as they are bigger engines and such. Again as far as this bike and what I can speak on your not going to feel MUCH. Sure your going to get more out of it and the bike is going to wake up. Hell you better if you pay some money for it. But it's not gonna be a crazy amount like you can get out of tuning a car. That's all I was saying.
Thank you for doing this bc I wanna do this to mine when I get my 500
I’ve been wanting to do this to my new ninga 500
Send it. Just make sure you do all the mods and not just the flash.
What slip on are you using? I just bought one off Amazon . It hasn't come in yet. Hopefully it'll be fine
Never mind I remember the video you made using the Istunt
From what i seen from there video. You really need a full header and velocity stacks to make power
Yes this is correct. I did not have a full exhaust system just yet. Not sure if I will get velocity stacks though. From what I've seen you get pretty my ch nothing as far as performance goes.
Looking forward to see how the Ninja 500 handles with a tune from 2WDW. Are you getting a full system exaust too or just a slip on?
I am going to be getting a full exhaust system for sure. Not sure what kind. Looking into some now.
What about engine breaking and on-throttle response? Stock engine breaking is very strong and on-throttle can be a bit jerky.
Engine breaking is the same. I didn't see much change in that category. As far as throttle it's a bit quicker to the touch but jerkyness is gonna go away with more time on the bike. At first I noticed that but then made adjustments and learned the throttle a little better and I don't get the jerkyness anymore.
@@SethmotoX I think you'll only feel the tune above 110mph on 6th gear, where the bike tends to lose power in the 9k+ RPM range out of the factory. Should make for an exciting 2nd and 3rd gear experience when giving full throttle on a long, straight road.
Where did you get the tinted wind shield? I’ve looked all over but can’t find anything
It is actually for the 400s. I could not find a tinted one for the 500 myself. But found this one and folks in comments were saying it will fit 500s as well and it did.
How is your GoPro and microphone set up and what’s the settings? I can’t get my mic to work with my GoPro at all😭 I have the hero 10 and the panda microphone
I use a media mod to plug the 3.5mm Mic jack. I use both a panda as well as a standard PC microphone with a condenser on it. Just depends on which helmet I have on. Different setups in different helmets. Everything I use is down below. 👇

@@SethmotoX thanks bro
No problem. Let me know how it works. I just used a little Velcro inside to helmet to hold mic in place as well. Wrapped a little piece up around the mic then some inside my helmet where I wanted mic if that makes sense.
@@SethmotoXim curious how you get the pc mic to work??? Like how do you run it through the helmet. I have a modular helmet and it’s been a pain
Not sure on a modular. I run an LS2 Assault and I just go from GoPro mounted on chin if helmet and the plug 3.5 straight to media mod and run it under chin and into helmet and Velcro it in front of my mouth.
I'm sure 2WDW made it richer which would make the popping worse. A flapper valve delete kit (block off plates) should fix that. They tuned my zx4rr but that bike is restricted and def benefits from a flash. But I agree tho for the ninja 500 you'd be better off putting that money into stiffer fork springs or something.
Yeah waiting on full exhaust system then I'll do block off plates and probably have them tweak flash once again that should get the bike where it needs to be.
You did the flash with none of the mods they used in their videos 🫠 also sounds like the slip on isn’t baffled which hurts power on these
Incorrect. Resonator is installed in the slip-on. Couple reason I don't have all mods like velocity stacks don't do enough. Not even on paper. I also did not have a full system exhaust at the time. Will be getting full exhaust and retune and will give update soon.
Do you know if the 400 fairings are the same as the 500? I want to order some custom fairings but only seeing 400
Yes the fairs for 400 are same as 500. The bike is basically identical to 400 just changes to engine.
@SethmotoX that's great news thanks bro! I asked the website and they never got back with me
@@SethmotoXThey are not the same fairings. They are different.
@@CrunchDramaNetworkThey are different fairings.
@@Zankiz thank you. The site got back with me and told me they are different. Guess that sucks 😆 🤣
Do you know shipping method they used?
Overnight threw FedEx I believe it was.
I heard bad stories from people who done flashes and said bike performed poorly afterwards. This make me Leary of ever doing it on my bike.
I'm haven't had any issues at all other than a slight imbalance in my fuel to air ratio. Other than that I just simply didn't really get anything worth the $200-$300 you pay for getting your ECU flashed.
@@SethmotoX I read so many of these places screw up fuel ratios that times people have to pay again somewhere else to fix it.
Yea I’ve heard the same
Go to a good company like 2WDW, and it’s not a worry. They stand behind their work and test every flash.
Is the AIS blocked off?
It is not. Once I buy a full exhaust system I will block AIS and have it tuned once again.
@@SethmotoX I'm not an expert by any means but I installed AIS delete plates on my Ninja 1000 (with a slip on) and my R6 (full exhaust). I stuffed a couple of marbles in my CB1000 AIS and all of them stopped the decel pop.
All bikes are different in some way but it may be worth the cost of a couple of marbles to give it a shot.
if you block it off and you still have your catalytic converter you will burn it up, so leave it alone until you get a full exhaust.
Yes this is why it is still on at the moment and will block them off at a later date once I install full exhaust system.
Why not just trade the bike in for an inline 4 600cc instead of ecu flashing a 500?🤔
And pay over double for the 6r then what your gonna pay for the 500. If I had that money I would've went ahead and bought the 6r.
@@SethmotoX Correct analysis. Plus the insurance on inline 4 supersport is insane.
Because you can track the 500 and if dropped not feel bad compared to a 600cc inline 4
Dude, you’re not gonna get any real results without putting a full exhaust system on too the flip one is purely for sound
Your unfortunately not going to get anything with a full exhaust either. From w slip on to a full exhaust your only get anywhere from 3-6 more HP which your not going to be able to tell while in the seat. Will be getting a full exhaust system just simply didn't get one prior to flash.
@@SethmotoX well you’re gonna have to get it flashed again then because your air fuel ratio definitely gonna be different with the full exhaust system
@@SethmotoX and you’re right it’s only about a 5 hp increase but you’re also losing about 11 pounds worth of exhaust parts. You don’t need. It’s all the little things that add up bro but you’re right it’s only a 500. It’s not a liter bike.
Yeah if I get a liter bike I would do it 100% but I was simply just trying to wake this little guy up is all.
@@SethmotoX same bro that’s why I watch the video. I’m ordering the full exhaust tomorrow and sending my flash to two wheel. Dino works on Monday.
Funny how you got down behind the wind screen and didn’t go anywhere, 500’s suck
Well considering it's an entry level bike what did you expect? You don't really need anything more than that for the street.
I just lowered my head a little so my center of gravity was forward under acceleration. Also wasn't even full throttle. Bike is super quick just not fast.
@sicxdgixxd6326 Sale numbers say differently bud.
?? Sale numbers say differently?
To sic….
Makes no sense should have just bought a 600 cc
Sure you got double the money to lend me. I didn't think so either. If I had that kind of money I would've just bought the 6r. Lol
go ahead and get that 600cc. I’m sure you will have fun paying for insurance or dads gonna have fun paying insurance
The 500 is so light it is quite fun
