Well when you're dealing with a bike that's so old and hasn't been produced in over 30 years and no one in the US works on it, you're kind of winging it.
Without a doubt, lol; just a rib at ol' Dan. I had a 89 XT600 I was working on and while they weren't as scarce as the Harley, parts here in the US weren't exactly common.
If I were to do this, I'd be shitting myself knowing that I may mess up at any point and cause irreparable damage to a 7k bike . You're working on it as if it's a worthless bicycle. But, obviously you have the expertise and seem to be doing a lot of research beforehand. Kudos to you sir! Ps- I don't even own a bike. I just went down through the CZcams rabbit hole researching MT07s.
Love how the FTECU team has made a note in their manual to not place the ground where Jake The Garden Snake did in his video. Shout out to the garden snake!
I've had my fz07 for almost two years it's my first bike, I have wanted to do the mods in your series the whole time but I put it off because I didn't have the confidence to do it myself. Now I have your videos and I"M DOING ALL OF THEM you are my fz07 God.
@@Mech.E I'd say it depends on your expectations, if you think these mods will make you Valentino Rossi or double your horsepower you will be greatly disappointed I for one got great satisfaction out of getting to know my bike working on it and making it my own the difference in some mods is more obvious than others, for some if you do one and you want any benefit you have to do another like for this video if you do the flashtune I would also go for their autotune tri-lamda sensor which doubles the price of the flashtune kit but is totally worth it, but the sensor they use is larger than the stock so you might as well get an exhaust that takes the larger sensor. With a new exhaust and the basic flashtune kit my bike ran like crap, with the autotune upgrade it runs great
@@Second_Opinion_2 appreciate it! Interesting because no one else mentions the autotune o2 sensor. I'm currently looking around for a used mt07 wish me luck !
@@Mech.E They don't mention the sensor but some do mention putting the bike on a dyno to tune it which accomplishes the same goal Dyno will give you a great fuel map for whatever the current environmental conditions are, that day, for the price of one dyno session the autotune sensor tunes the bike on the fly as you ride so you don't have to worry about seasonal changes, elevation or anything else, unless you you have cheap unlimited access to access to a dyno I think it's the way to go Good luck
This is super cool! I didn't know anyone made a kit like this! Screw power commanders, they don't even come close to control level you get when you can tune the factory ECU. I especially like the permanent wiring harness addition that lets you tune the bike without ripping everything apart and pulling the ECU off.
Fucking beauty job Jake! These average joe vids are exactly what I'm looking for. You're tapping you into your views want to say "Yes I can do that!" Instead of "I wish I could do that." Well done brother! Keep it up
Thanks for the video Jake, you're the man!!! I finally used this to flash my ECU today and the thing runs so much harder with the unrestricted / power commander stock fuel map. The mpg appears to be slightly worse, but I'm totally OK with that. I will say that for anyone else attempting this that you can use a needle to push the connector plugs out from the other side if they get pushed in too far. Also, if you get stuck in connection error hell, keep in mind that the dash will read error when it's ready to flash and don't try to clear the error before clicking next.
After spending several days online doing research .. I same to the same Conclusion that Jake did.. I also found Velox Racing in my searches he seems to be the only business out there that has made a video on FT ECU .. he does reply his e-mails .. Supposedly the FZ-07 has pulled timing in 1st and speed and is speed limited in 5th and 6th .. I too like the strong engine braking with full fuel shut off when you are off the throttle .. It could be too abrupt for racing on the track but saves using your brakes on the street .. Plus my stock bike runs even leaner because of E-10 gasoline ..
I love these series, you have so much knowledge on bikes, plus I lurn something every time I watch. Thanks JakeTheGardenSnake, keep riding and stay safe.
Smart move Jake !!! My '08 ZX-10R's ECU was re-flashed...then a Power Commander 5 & MGP exhaust were installed.....then it was dyno-tune time. Trust me...it's plenty fast enough for the type of riding I do and there's no questioning its reliability. Thanks for enlightening your subscribers Bruh.
Thank you for this Jake. I started off wanting the EJK, then talked myself into the PCV, but I love the install and usability of this system. You've sold me on something else yet again!
I'm really glad you put this up I've been meaning to get an FZ 07 for a while and want to mod it and stuff to my liking and I really love the mods you've put on their
Holy shit! It's nice to see such coherent and confidence inspiring content coming out now. It's cool how I feel like the material is substantial and I'm not just watching lame filler shit. Keep up the good work
had a flash tuner for my old mustang, loved it. even had a couple Ford techs comment on how much better it was than stock. not bad for a 2002 v6 with an automatic.
Hey Jake, used to watch the channel a ton for tips before I got my first bike AND just discovered we have the exact same bike now(love that night flo color scheme)! This video (and the whole series) has been really helpful for the various upgrades I've done, so thanks for that! I had never even heard of the flashtune kit before this, everyone only mentioned the power commander. Just wanted to say that I followed this vid exactly and ran into some trouble when my laptop wouldn't connect to the ECU, and I realized that bolt you recommended wasn't working as a ground. Ran the wire to a different bolt that attaches the gas tank to the frame and it worked no problem, I think because the part I picked was unpainted. I saw this video in tons of forums when I was troubleshooting, so if you could put an annotation or something on where exactly you ran it to make it work, I think it'd be really helpful. Thanks again for the great vids!
My 07 has a full Yoshi. Coming from a DRZ I'm very happy with the power. But I may invest in this ECU mod. Looking forward to the intake video! thanks Jake
No plans on upgrading to an fz07 but lots of great knowledge in here. Really hope to see you share more tidbits of tool knowledge and whatnot over time :-)
What temp does the radiator fan typically turn on? I adjusted mine in FT to 185-195 and even set it at 140 to see if it would kick on, but it has not kicked on once. Not sure why. Any help would be appreciated.
Dude I am dying. I just got my ftecu kit and when I downloaded the document instruction it actually says on the ground wire instruction; DO NOT FOLLOW THE GROUND FROM THE JAKE THE GARDEN SNAKE VIDEO and then shows you the correct bolt. I still love you tho bro. I snapped the shot
I kinda want an R7 for my next bike. ECU Flash, Airbox, Filter, and Toce exhaust of course. Coming from a fully tuned R3 with all the same upgrades making 43RWHP over the stock 37RWHP. Burnt my clutch up though, lol wheelie practice. 😅 A turbo R7 would be epic, but it’s almost just worth getting an R6 and making it a bit more comfortable.
Where can you find fuel maps and how do you know it the right one, example if you wanted a 2 brothers exhaust where would you find a map for that exact fuel to air ratio? Could you also do it yourself?
Wow I'm gonna love that kind of videos ! I'm on the brink of shipping my ECU to 2WDW in Washington (and I'm in Quebec, Canada lol). I'll have to check the available maps & flashing features of that kit !
really awesome stuff and i like these types of stuff (even tho i gonna be a aircraft mechanic not a motorcycle mechanic) but im alway interested to watch
Well you convinced me to go with this ecu, but I'm glad i watched this because im going to budget money for a pro to do it! Your vids have helped me do plenty of wrenching on my bike, but I'm definitely not going to mess with all that wiring and pins. I'll start rushing 1/2 way thru and then break a part of my harness and I'll be screwed. Another great vid though!
I think I'll still have to get the PCV since the flash one only has it for Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha but I have an Aprilia. Also another Q is how does this system have more tune-ability than a PCV cuz you just used the PCV maps?
+The Muscle Biker PCv can't remove the factory restrictions. It can only tune the fuel and ignition and can't always control it as well as flashing onto the base map.
Ahhh I see. On the RSV4 forums they say to get a specific Race tune from Akraprovic and you send your ECU to them and your bike's VIN for verification. I know it's more than a regular tune though i guess I'll get that done thanks man
hey, I want to thank you for al your video`s, you and many other motovloggers are a reason i`m starting to motovlog in 2017!!! I have to take care of things and prepare, but hope to meet you 1day... Friendly regards from The Netherlands!
Great video! I'm currently trying to become a fz-07 owner. I found a 2017 model marked down to $6399 out the door. Just waiting to hear back from the bank on Monday.
Hey Jake, been following since 2011 or so. I like this series and the fact that you are actually doing it in a way that can walk people through modding their bikes. However, I did notice something in this video. What you are referring to as "decel ignition cut" is actually a fuel cut when under decel. It's actually pretty common among both OEM and aftermarket ECUs. Also, just an FYI, the reason it took so long to flash the first time is because you are having to flash an entirely new OS (similar to windows, but serves a different purpose) onto the bike, whereas your later flashes are just updating values stored in the ECU. Also, I don't have the software package you are using, but I'm going to make an educated guess, based on the values in the map you were using that it is just a way of altering the factory map. Oh, and I hope you saved a separate copy of your original tune, 'cause it's always nice to be able to go back to square one if need be. Anyways, keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos, so thanks for putting in the time and effort to produce them.
Dammit!! I wish I knew they had those re-flash kits before I paid to have mine done. I should have researched it more. Anyways I'm pretty happy with the tune-up now. This BSOS is great! Thanks
Hey jake, did you have to change the fuel map from the one you imported in the video to run the exhaust with the baffle out? I have a M4 exhaust and I’m hooking up my FT ECU harness today, just wondering since there isn’t a power commander map that specifically says baffle out for the Two bros or the M4 Just wondering what you did, thanks man!
Ok I gotta show my dad all ur BSOS vids cuz he's a car mechanic and I got him into bikes and I want to customize my bike so I've gotta make him a CUSTOMIIIIIZEeeeEEeeEeErrrrrrrrr
How do I backup my ECU before making changes. I want to read all of my stock ECU settings and save them to a file first. Is that possible? (I don't want to trust a file that comes with the FTecu unit that they say is stock. I want to read my stock settings directly from my ECU.)
Enjoy seeing new products,have you heard Booster Plug it's made in Denmark. Kind of similar to your system that your installing. What i does keeps the bike in proper A/F area. Little easier assembly.
Just to blast some extra info out there... If you are having trouble getting a response from your ECU when you try to flash It could be the ground. The one Jake uses in the video isn't the best.
hey, so i hope you can help me. i just got this kit for my 07 fz1 and im having trouble with remapping my bike, basically i cut out snorkel and put an aftermarket exhaust on my bike, and i dont know where to go with mapping fuel, or anything. pc sites have good info but no one has really done what i have to their bike and i want to make sure im doing it right. can you help me?
I have a question about your kid's mini jeep in the background; Did you put that image of a motorcycle rider in the mirrors to teach her to look out for riders while she's driving? That's smart.
I just wanted to say thank you for the video I think that was extremely helpful and I did not know a lot of that I really appreciate it I was looking into buying a power commander but if there are better Alternatives which I did not know about I'm going to look into those

Jake, Thanks for this video I have a quick question. In order to flash the ECU does the bike need to be completely stock? I purchased my FZ07 with a Akra exhaust and hasn't been tuned to my knowledge. I do not have the stock exhaust to reinstall, what do you suggest? Thanks -BD
Every flash tune kit even on sale is about $70 more expensive than a PCV. I don't personally think PCV is the way to go. I chose to go with tuning through 2 Wheel Dyno Works and it cost me $289 compared to $405 for the full tuning kit you bought.
So I understand you can remove engine breaking and adjust thermostat with this but then youre just downloading a powercommander map so the fuel/air mixture with this ecu reflash is the same as it would be with a power commander, right? Maybe, I'm missing something. What happens when you add the exhaust? How will you get the reflash map to consider both your air filter and exhaust? Another power commander map perhaps?
Yes, you’ll use a different power commander map for different exhaust mods /air mods. The benefit with this setup over a power commander is that you have much more versatility and reliability.
I got the power commander V and the auto tune on my fz07 took 1 hour to install it was very easy.. and it gave my bike much more horsepower. I don't see any limitations with it though. but I'm also not a mechanic lol
+CruzinMoto New bike ECUs are weird. At certain rpms and throttle positions it can flip from closed loop to open loop. This throws piggy back tuners for a loop (no pun intended). Also I can remove top speed limiters and make changes to all kinds of other elements.
finally someone to follow who is like-minded with fz07 mods. Right now as far as performance mods i have a full akra carbon exhaust and im going to grab a hord intake as well (also considering the DNA stage 2 based off of your recommendation) . I will def be getting this tuner....my question is where and or how did you download the maps, Im by no means a mechanic but if theres a youtube video on something i can be a brain surgeon lol thanks in advance!
Hey Jake, I just bought a used FZ 07 with an M4 slip-on already pre-installed. The bike acts a little weird sometimes and I think it might be due to needing an ECU flash. Where did you download your fuel map from?
Apparently, I bought the wrong kit... I got the bench mount instead of the permanently wired one. Oops. Anyway, I'm trying to download off the power commander's website for the stock exhaust and DNA air filter, but their downloads seem to be broken. Any ideas? I'm eventually going to get my exhaust installed, but it's not there yet.
It's nice to watch a """build series"""" by someone who actually knows what they are doing.

Enjoy seeing new products,have you heard Booster Plug it's made in Denmark. Kind of similar to your system that your installing. What i does keeps the bike in proper A/F area. Little easier assembly.
I don't have a motorcycle, but I still enjoy the not build series.
Just to blast some extra info out there... If you are having trouble getting a response from your ECU when you try to flash It could be the ground. The one Jake uses in the video isn't the best.
hey, so i hope you can help me. i just got this kit for my 07 fz1 and im having trouble with remapping my bike, basically i cut out snorkel and put an aftermarket exhaust on my bike, and i dont know where to go with mapping fuel, or anything. pc sites have good info but no one has really done what i have to their bike and i want to make sure im doing it right. can you help me?
Great video Jake! Also, good music selection on this one.
I have a question about your kid's mini jeep in the background;
Did you put that image of a motorcycle rider in the mirrors to teach her to look out for riders while she's driving?
That's smart.
Stôan holy shit that's a good spot!
lol it came with it
keep it up !!!!! love the videos jake
Awesome video !!!
The whole process explained very well; and clearly.
Many Thanks :)
I just wanted to say thank you for the video I think that was extremely helpful and I did not know a lot of that I really appreciate it I was looking into buying a power commander but if there are better Alternatives which I did not know about I'm going to look into those
Is the mapping needed ? Can someone help me get the link for the download that Jake used PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Jake,
Thanks for this video I have a quick question. In order to flash the ECU does the bike need to be completely stock? I purchased my FZ07 with a Akra exhaust and hasn't been tuned to my knowledge. I do not have the stock exhaust to reinstall, what do you suggest?
Thanks

That bike was just floating across the screen so it must be really simple and easy to tune😀😀😀
Every flash tune kit even on sale is about $70 more expensive than a PCV. I don't personally think PCV is the way to go. I chose to go with tuning through 2 Wheel Dyno Works and it cost me $289 compared to $405 for the full tuning kit you bought.
+OspreyBravo18 The flash tune kit is $340, the PCV is $355. Not only is it cheaper but it far superior.
Once I get off my restricted license, this will be the first mod I do, alongside the DNA intake
hey mate in all those places you used Wd-40, petroleum jelly would actually better especially when you put grease on the exhaust gasket .
So I understand you can remove engine breaking and adjust thermostat with this but then youre just downloading a powercommander map so the fuel/air mixture with this ecu reflash is the same as it would be with a power commander, right? Maybe, I'm missing something. What happens when you add the exhaust? How will you get the reflash map to consider both your air filter and exhaust? Another power commander map perhaps?
Yes, you’ll use a different power commander map for different exhaust mods /air mods. The benefit with this setup over a power commander is that you have much more versatility and reliability.
That's pretty sweet. I need to get one for my ZX6R.
I got the power commander V and the auto tune on my fz07 took 1 hour to install it was very easy.. and it gave my bike much more horsepower. I don't see any limitations with it though. but I'm also not a mechanic lol
+CruzinMoto New bike ECUs are weird. At certain rpms and throttle positions it can flip from closed loop to open loop. This throws piggy back tuners for a loop (no pun intended). Also I can remove top speed limiters and make changes to all kinds of other elements.
Jake TheGardenSnake yeah I don't have that limiter option on my PCV.. why didn't you get a fz07 before me? lol I could have gotten this same ECU haha.
It's the pin exactly behind #6. The pins are 6 13 and 22. You're welcome.
finally someone to follow who is like-minded with fz07 mods. Right now as far as performance mods i have a full akra carbon exhaust and im going to grab a hord intake as well (also considering the DNA stage 2 based off of your recommendation) . I will def be getting this tuner....my question is where and or how did you download the maps, Im by no means a mechanic but if theres a youtube video on something i can be a brain surgeon lol thanks in advance!
scosta2315 you figure out your question yet?
I too would like to know please :)
scosta2315 did you figure it out than?
Need to know
The most comprehensive list I've found is from the power commander website.
Sweet mod vids! Watched them all so far, Subbed!
Hey Jake, I just bought a used FZ 07 with an M4 slip-on already pre-installed. The bike acts a little weird sometimes and I think it might be due to needing an ECU flash. Where did you download your fuel map from?
Mike Bienvenu does the flash tune kit come with the wiring harnes or do you have to buy them separately?
@@masonkilgour1 yes, it should come in the kit
Apparently, I bought the wrong kit... I got the bench mount instead of the permanently wired one. Oops.
Anyway, I'm trying to download off the power commander's website for the stock exhaust and DNA air filter, but their downloads seem to be broken. Any ideas? I'm eventually going to get my exhaust installed, but it's not there yet.
Your intro cracks up up every time... +1
jake your the best man im like you i hate stock shit got to uncork it i think it is really better for the bike 2
