ECU Flashing | Cane Industries

There is a very big difference between just flashing generic maps onto a bike and custom mapping.

A very good flash written in America will be terrible in another climate like Europe, Australia or South Africa - they are often worse than the stock mapping!

We always start with your bikes original maps as a base and fine tune - this takes alot longer, but is the only way to do it properly.

There is so much that can be fine tuned with ECU tuning, if done properly it takes a lot of time and time costs money.

BUT there are big improvements in throttle response, fuel economy, smoothness, reliability and power to be had.

Instead of only offering one, very expensive option, we have divided the process up in stages to make it more affordable.

Stage 1 (Base map) - Removing Restrictions

Modern bikes are restricted by manufacturers to meet performance, exhaust emission and volume limits.

Understanding what these restrictions are and were to find them in the maps is where the art comes in.

We don't need to run the bike on a dyno for this, actually don't even need the bike.

We just need the ECU, 'its all in the numbers', you can courier or bring it in to us personally.

Our base maps are not generic, no two bikes ever have the same flash. They are tailored to your bike, where and when you most often ride and your riding style.

This stage normally brings the biggest gains.

Stage 2 - Fueling and ignition timming

When manufacturers tune mass produced bikes, they tune them to work in a wide range of countries or climate regions while also taking emissions and volume testing into account.

This means that they cannot give every bike perfect fueling.

Added to this... the first thing that most of us do is to change the exhaust system and air filter,

this often makes everything even worse.

With our Dyno, we are able to tune the air fuel ratio to perfection across all throttle and rev ranges.

Once the motor running is with optimal fueling, we can retune its ignition timing, removing the last of the restrictions

Stage 3 - Tuning for power

This gets into the finer workings of tuning, often done in conjunction with modifications and different fuels.
