Ouch! Many years ago I bought a '14 'A' model ECU to put in a '13 FJR to get the better cruise control limit. I bought it off ebay for $100 iirc. But then 15 years ago I bought a Gen I fuel pump off ebay for like $40. Things have changed!!!

 

So 13-15 A models can interchange ECUs? I believe they have a different part number between 13 and 14/15.

I am definitely open to offers and suggestions on this, currently I don't have much use for it and not sure how trying to sell it on ebay as a flashed ECU might be taken by Ivan...

 

Yes, 13-15 A-model ECU are plug-n-play interchangeable. It's been done many times. I have been hunting for a NON-Ivan flashed 14-15 A-model ECU for a long time, as has at least one other member I know of. If you are serious about selling one for a reasonable price PLEASE PM me!!

 

Out of curiosity why are you looking for a non flashed 14/15 A ECU? What is the advantage over an Ivan's flash for you?

 

82 mph indicated. 80 mph actual.

 

I would love to hear what you didnt like about Ivans flash, just the requirement for midgrade gas? Or something else?

I will keep you in mind if I do get into a position of flashing my 2014 A ECU, if it looks like that is going to happen I will gladly swap you for your 2013 ECU first and have that flashed instead.

Cool, I appreciate it!

Fair enough. However if all you don't like is the engine braking adjustments and lack of over idle fuel cut on Ivans tune, have you tried talking to him to see if he can leave those as stock? I don't know what software he is using exactly, but you are likely talking about him doing the equivalent of leaving a few check boxes unclicked.

 

Nope, haven't spoken to him about it. I swapped the flashed ECU with another member for his unflashed one.

 

I am curious how much everyone else's fuel mileage improved with Ivans flash, I know he adds some fuel, but also he adds a lot of timing, so I think the MPG increase likely comes from the timing and needing less throttle at the same cruising speed.

Looking back through my pictures looks like I picked up about 4-5mpg with Ivans flash on my 2014 ES, but should PROBABLY switch from 87 to 89. This was a pic I took today when we filled up.

I went from ~31-32mpg average to ~35-36mpg average with Ivans flash on my previous 2014 ES bike, but my current 2014 A bike gets about 36-38mpg so far, admittedly at generally lower speeds.

$3.209/$2.759 = 1.16 so in my area 89 is about 16% more expensive than 87.

36/32 = 1.125 so 12/13% better mpg, but 16% higher fuel cost... If my current bike went from 38mpg to 43mpg that would be ~13% increase...

So Ivans isnt saving me any money looking at my numbers, but again I would love to hear others experiences.

 

Lowered price.
