    Is anyone offering an ECU flash for these bikes anymore? I see Guhl used too but states they no longer provide flashes for road going vehicles.

    Is the only alternative a RapidBike? If so, I'm wondering if the racing module alone, without the youtune/my tuning modules would be sufficient to correct the undesirable fueling characteristics the bike has.

    I highly recommend Duane Hoffer here in MIchigan! https://www.facebook.com/HofferPerformance/

    He has been doing this for many years, servicing anyone from the milemunching tourer to track-day enthusists, and even race teams! From short convesations that I've had with Duane, race teams is how he began to be recognized. He was working with one or two unknown racers and his tunes were better than the fully sponsored teams.

    He is a "one man" shop, and is busy enough not to need to spend time or money on marketing as you may notice on his facebook page- not a lot of recent updates. His focus is on the work at hand.

    I finally got in touch with Duane at Hoffer Performance and he is not aware of a software platform that allows tuning of these ECUs. After going back and reading more about the flash Guhl offered, they had reverse engineered the ECU in house. Shame they have stopped offering tuning services.
