Product Description
Schnitz Racing offers ECU Reflashing for the Kawasaki ZZR-1400 that is restricted in the following ways:
- Limited Hard Acceleration by Restricting Secondary Throttle Blade Opening
- Reduced Peak Power Output by Limited Ignition Timing and/or RPM
- Top Speed Limit or High Gear RPM Limits
These restrictions are used to control power output to allow easier control of the motorcycle for street conditions. However, these will limit the full potential of engine for racing use. Allow us to eliminate these restrictions and allow your engine to run the way it should.
Kawasaki ZZR-1400 Concours 14 (08-24) Reflash Features:
- Increased Rev Limiter to 11,000RPM (+500rpm from stock)
- Top Speed Limiter Removed
- Radiator Fan Set to come on at 90*C (194*F)
- High RPM Ignition Timing Retard Removed
- Gear Based Fuel Trims Removed from Gears 1-3
- Secondary Throttle Blades Open More Aggressively And Stay Open
- Optional: Adjust the Fuel Tables in the ECU to match your Exhaust System (Additional $125)
What is ECU Reflashing? ECU stands for "Engine Control Unit." It is the computer that takes information from the various sensors on the engine like crankshaft RPM, manifold pressure and throttle position to determine how much fuel to deliver through the fuel injectors and when to fire the ignition coils. The computer "chip" that is the heart of the ECU is usually an EEPROM -- an Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chip. The Read Only part of that means the chip retains its programming without periodic electronic refreshing; loss of electrical power doesn't lead to the chip losing its programming (It's like the CMOS BIOS of a computer). "Flashing" the chip involves electronically erasing the read only program and replacing it with new, updated information (the engine control 'map').
How can you offer this at such a low price? We have been tuning sport bikes for 15 years. Our business is offering performance products for motorcycles. If an ECU is programmed to limit power output of that engine, then our products performance will not meet your expectations. We want to ensure you get all you can out of your purchase from us. Pulling the ECU data is no longer a “black science” limited to just a handful of computer wizards that have an exclusive on this technology and expect you to pay 3 or 4 times our price. We’ve been doing this since 2006 on Suzuki sportbikes that were limited. Now we have expanded to various other models.
How does your service differ from others – Our reflashing services remove restrictions that the OEM's have programmed to meet government regulations and that reduce throttle response and power output for novice riders. You are not purchasing a “lifetime” flashing subscription for services you won’t use. Our a la carte style checkout system allows you to purchase only the options you need. While we do offer fuel adjustments to match aftermarkets exhaust systems, we believe that you should have control over fuel adjustments with units such as Power Commanders that can be adjusted to match your specific needs.

THE BEST MODIFICATION YOU CAN GET.
Let's get right to the point: The 1400 is fast and now it's like I'm running on rocket fuel. 1=took it to some twisties and she rips out of the corners and doesn't nose dive when you throttle off I to the turns. 2=took it the local drag strip where all us locals race and did the 1/4 mile test. Went easy dropped the clutch at 4000rpms and having the extra room with the Rev limiter raised is great because with the stock flash the limiter hits to quick . Now I can just hold her WOT and tap the clutch and shift. The fuel delivery is so perfect. 3=riding two up should be better because of a 100% perfect deceleration off the throttle. (No more helmet's hitting) 4=in actuality my bike feels like it shed 150lbs. 5=I'll leave this open for future comments THANK YOU RYAN SCHNITZ for your fast service...time to share my experience with Schnitz Racing on the Concours owners group...

Just Do It!
Hey I was skeptical about just how much a difference a reflash would make. I had Schnitz send the ecu back to the dealer where they installed a power commander and put it on the dyno. It's pushing a solid 150 hp. The Concours is 700 lbs and I easily walk away from most other bikes on the highway. I have come across some pure sport bikes that have gotten the better of me but I have yet to find anyone to make me feel silly as the bike gets to 170.( Although I thought I'd get a greater top end but this is good enough) There is always a bit of surprise and a thumbs up when they turn around to see me right behind them. The true difference is felt from first thru third. It actually took a little getting use to as the secondaries open all the way up now in those gears. It has been on for over a year now and I've not had a single problem. I wanted to wait before I wrote a review. So just do it. It is truly the best bang for your buck.

Excellent Service
Can't say enough about the service and turn around time. Got my ZX14R done last season and was astounded by the results and just did my Concours and I am just as pleased with the results. I asked a question while placing my order and a tech took time from the dyno to speak with me. That kind of service just doesn't exist these days reminds me of 30 years ago dealing with shops run by guys that truly love bikes and making them faster!!
