Right now I don't have a method to flash back to the bike, so I will probably purchase the full version of HondaECU to do it unless some ace coder comes along and wants to help try and get the python stuff working. I will have a look at the timing map too but my thoughts at the moment are to leave that alone. You can hopefully see in the picture where the fuelling drops off on the stock map. I think I will up the rev limit a little, and add more fuel above 5500rpm. Not a massive surprise with only 48kb storage to work with. There's basically only 2 tables, ignition and fuel. I was able to load it into TunerPro using the xdf from github, and the tables all look good. For anyone reading this in the future, I used offset 0x4000 and got a 48kb file. I did find an older copy of HondaECU which lets you read but not write when it's unregistered, and was able to read my ECU. I'd be happy to share whatever I find, I think it would be cool to have an open source tool for flashing and some community documentation on how to remap your Grom.Ī friend from another forum did manage to compile the github software I linked, but it didn't work. I guess what I'm really asking is if anyone can help compile the open source HondaECU, or has an old windows.exe version of it? I have a cable to read the ECU with, just need the software. The problem with that is its source code and I can't seem to compile the program for windows, I tried following the instructions but get errors that are beyond my ability. What I did also find is that HondaECU was previously open source, and some of the old versions/branches are still there on GitHub eg There is MCU innovations HondaECU, but it's $150. I’ll keep y’all updated with any further observations if needed.There are a few tools out there, Hondaflasher ( ) although the page doesn't seem to have a download. I guess I wasn’t expecting much of a difference but I was very much wrong.Īll of these observations were made in standard mode by the way. I don’t want to over sell any of your expectations on this. I highly recommend getting this done if you’re still running the stock tune. Theirs FFtec which supports most Yamahas, Suzuki and Kawasaki. They also support KTM, some Ducatis, aprillia and some BMWs. Once connected, the software will display the current ECU settings and allow you to modify them. Follow the on-screen instructions to establish a connection with the ECU. Launch the ECU programming software on your laptop or computer. I currently use tune ECU for my triumph Daytona. Step 3: Launch the ECU Programming Software. The bike is even more fun to rip around on. For reading and writing there are quite a few solutions out there based on brand and even within brands has different software. In closing- I’m stoked I got this done today. It would have been interesting to just keep riding to see what the gauge would have done but didn’t want to take that chance. I’m assuming that’s a normal side effect of the reflash. I stopped for gas directly after and it only took 3 ish gallons to fill up. My remaining fuel went from 120 miles before the flash to 40 miles after the flash and the gauge effect was gone at first (first few minutes). Not sure if I’m trippin or what, but she just seems hella louder. Other interesting observations: my exhaust seems to be considerably louder (tab zombies without cat delete). Instead of a 90 degree cancellation cliff dive, it’s more of a smooth 45 degree ease off. Once I did that, I was blown away by the before/after difference.Ĭruise control: y’all know how it is when you’re on the freeway and have the cruise control set for highway speeds and you roll the throttle forward to cancel the cruise control speed? In a word- ‘Jarring’. I’m so accustomed to feathering the throttle while making locked to lock turns that I had to re learn how to use the throttle. This makes slow speed maneuvers CONSIDERABLY easier. Slow speed maneuvers: dramatically improved low end throttle response. The slipper clutch stands out as superb suddenly. I was splitting lanes on the way back and had to downshift big time (holy sh*t moment) to stop for two vehicles that decided they didn’t want to be passed. straight up pleasurable experience.ĭownshifting is also considerably smoothed out. Shifting up and shifting down for stop lights and signs etc. VERY smooth shifts and throttle transition. Taking off down the street: the difference in shifting is night and day comparison. While starting from a dead stop: I was immediately impressed by how smooth the transition is now. This has been a constant so far after the flash. The bike seemed to crank less and sprung to life instantly. I noticed the difference the moment I fired her up. While doing so- I made some observations. The dealer is about an hour away so I got to ride freeway (80 plus mph freeway speeds and stop and go traffic) and busy downtown Sacramento city streets (just to get a cup of joe from my favorite coffee shop).
