Sorry guys, I did a search on flashing ECU on stock bikes and found many links on flashing ECU's but none that seemed to address my question, so I wanted to ask here.
I just purchased a brand new display model 2015 Super Tenere ES, haven't actually ridden it yet, but am coming from an R1, so I know the power is not going to be anything like the R1, but that's why I bought the bike, Im getting old and wanted more comfort. however I am not dead yet, so I still want some get up and go, I was wondering about getting the ECU flashed, the bike is 100% stock (in the engine, exhaust & admission) so is a flash worth doing? I want to put a full system on the bike next year and then a flash makes complete sense, but until then should I keep the ECU stock or is it still worth flashing? Flashing is expensive and if there is little to no gain then it's obviously not worth doing, I read that several places flash the ECU (AVC8130m, ECUnleashed or even my favorite company AF1 in new Braunsfel) and remove glitches and limitations, so is it worth doing it to a stock engine? or should I wait until I have fitted a new exhaust and perhaps changed the air filter, etc?
I want to get it done as I like farkling my bike, but at $400 a pop, I really want to make sure it's worth it..
Thanks for all comments, recommendations, etc.
