Product Description
Schnitz Racing offers ECU reflashing for popular sport bike models to increase performance and removed OEM/government restrictions.
Most new motorcycles are restricted in one or more of the following ways:
- Decreased Ignition Timing at High RPM and/or Lower Gears (1-2-3-4)
- 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 ZX10R (04-05) Reflash Features:
- Increased Rev Limiter to 13,200RPM (+500rpm over stock)
- Top Speed Restriction Removed
- 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.

'05 ZX10R
ECU Flash was quick and easy. Tune was for a full system Sato exhaust. - Very noticeable power increase, particularly top end (stoopid fast). - I don't know how, but somehow better fuel mileage, despite ripping through the gears and riding around on 1 wheel. - Very happy, thanks for the Schnitzy service!

Ecu reflash
Definitely woke the bike up in the mid range and top end. No problems or issues at all, simple plug and play. Very easy process. Very happy with the results.

Wow well worth the money
Wow what a difference. The flat spot at low RPM's almost gone! 3rd gear the back wheel is still trying to catch the front! And that was only the simple flash......I now wonder if the pipe tune will be noticed at this point. Thanks Schnitz!
