![]() After much reading and procrastination, I finally decided to pull the trigger and shipped my ECU to Ivan. It was a whole lot cheaper than moving up to the Kawasaki. My eyes began to stray, and I had visions of a Kawasaki Ninja1K in my garage.īefore parting with a lot of cash, I decided to give Ivan's ECU flash a try. For all the good things about the bike, the lazy throttle response and pathetic low-end engine performance were too much for my fidelity. Those fueling deficiencies dominated the personality of the machine. Such lousy fueling attached to such a splendid engine was depressing. Eventually I had to accept that in its current state, the prospect of a happy future with my new honey was doubtful. However, I could always depend on it returning to its inglorious lazy ways. ![]() Maybe it was the weather, my perceptions or whatever, but there seemed to be short spurts of "acceptable" performance. I'm happy for the folks with later year models. Supposedly the fueling got better with each succeeding model year. It's not until you get well into the higher RPMs that any appreciable power is forthcoming. The low-end power delivery is anemic at best. For those reading who own a first year (2006) GenII FZ1, you know exactly what I mean. Yamaha totally dropped the ball on this one. Maybe not quite to the level of say, Microsoft Vista, but it truly is pathetic. The original ECU programming for the 2006 FZ1 is a total fail. Not only was she bi-polar and potentially dangerous at times, but the most dreary low-end performance one could imagine from a modern Japanese liter bike confirmed she was also lazy. After trying to throw me a couple of times with a nasty throttle snatch at the most inopportune times, I realized perhaps we should have dated a bit before tying the knot. Initially I was happy, but it didn't take long to discover there was a dark side to my new beauty. Probably not the best deal ever but not bad. All of that two years ago for less than $5K. It had just north of 6K miles on the odometer, perfect paint, newer tires, fresh synthetic oil-change, PCIII, LeoVince slip-on exhaust, frame sliders, fender-eliminator kit, a stock and Yamaha gel seat (which is horrible), and multiple wind screens. I thought I got a pretty good deal given the low-mileage and after-market goodies already installed. įor the record, I bought my 2006 silver beauty in 2012 from a local gentleman here in the north Atlanta area. ![]() It is not legal for restricted license holders to ride this bike on Australian roads or highways.Just in case you don't know, Ivan is a performance tuner. Tuners notes: This tune does not comply with Australian regulations and is not suitable for road use. Frankly, the power curves don’t do it justice.Optimize ignition mapping 4 maps in total.Optimize fuel maps low and high speed 8 maps in total.Switch off 02 sensors to optimize low down response and smoothness when cruising.Increased rev limit for a broader spread of power.Increased drive-ability, smooth power delivery, impressive throttle response, improve fuel economy, more power and torque.We will test analyse and adjust every point (over 1000 of them) on all the maps to ensure you get the best tune on the planet “guaranteed”.(our tuner has over 35 yrs of experience, you get that best) Using our state-of-the-art dyno cell that even the top race teams don’t have we can develop a tune for every combo. If you’re looking for the best possible performance gain from your Yamaha FZ1 then you need a Custom Dyno Tune tailored to your bike and whatever modifications you have made. ![]()
