Product Description
Schnitz Racing offers ECU Reflashing for the Kawasaki ZX-14 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 ZX14 (06-11) Reflash Features:
- Increased Rev Limiter to 11,500RPM (+500rpm from stock)
- Top Speed Limiter Removed
- Gear Based Fuel Trims Removed from Gears 1-3
- Secondary Throttle Blades Open More Aggressively And Stay Open
- Radiator Fans Set to come on at 90*C (194*F)
- 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.

What a bargain!
Best bang under $500. More power than a pipe.
-
That's the best $75.I spent on my 08 zx14
I can't see spending upwards $400 to get basically same output at $75.

Best mod ever
4 years and 35k miles later, this is by far the best thing ive done! like a new bike. power everywhere. no more flat spot.

Great value for the tuner
After a lot of questioning and researching I went with this flash instead of the other big dollar flashes. I went this route cause I already have a PCV and Ignition controller and all I really wanted was the extended rev limit and the de-restriction of the top speed. I didn't need the adjusted fuel map and ignition timing and life time changes like the other guys cause I can make those adjustments faster and easier and when I want with my PCV. Personally, I think this is the better bang for the buck for the racer who is going to have there bike tuned anyway. For the street rider, the high dollar tune might be the way to go for them for the drive ability.

Highly satisfied. Makes a big difference on my Kaw!!!

Amazing
Had my 06 ecu flashed and the off idle to 5000RPM range is now much stronger and more linier. Sadly I did notice increased tire wear:)

07 zx14 ecu flash
The best $75 I've spent on this bike. It unrestricted everything and now with the pc5 my rev limiter goes to 12000 rpm on the stock dash.

Worth every penny
Best inexpensive and easy to install power upgrade, worth every penny. Great product!
-
Best performance investment!
This is the best investment you make if you're serious about getting real performance from a ZX14. Should have done a long time ago.

Sweet baby Jesus. One of the quickest in town now.
This definitely woke up my 09 zx14.. no more slouchy acceleration. This thing pulls so hard now I am absolutely in love with this flash.. best $ spent so far.. I would recommend this to anyone with a 14 looking to unlock it's potential. Great job Ryan keep up the good work. I can't believe what these other guys are charging for their flashes.. Thomas
