Wow, I just had a flashback to when I started asking about this some years ago when I was new to MT01.
And, just like then, the old hands said had all been done and just do this.
Of course I had my own view.
And indeed, then, just as now, some of the old sage advice was indeed wrong.
And I was wrong too of course, on many things.
The idea that a black box will make it a fire breather is just as tempting then as now. And still wrong.
Anyway, sorry, lets fast forward and here it goes again.
Lets say something that was very clear on the old forum towards the end.
There is no magic box.
You can get little changes that give a bit more but unless you do expensive and major engine upgrades there is little to be had.
A stage 2 equivalent ecu flash is as much as a standard engine can use. A stage 3 in a standard engine bike is so rich running it feels like a slug.
Even when you do do all the engine mods, or some of them, the result is great, no doubt, but if you think its the fastest most powerful thing around you are wrong and for the amount of money you spend the return is minimal.
Use that air temp cheat if you want but its a false way to do it. The 02 optimiser can be bought from Power commander or comes included in a PCv for MT01. That is all the black magic there is. Go the T4micha stage 2 ecu upgrade or whatever he recommends will give about the good result but you dont have to do the 02 eliminator thing because any of the "stage" ecu's do not use the 02 sensor and are open loop.
Confused, good, nothing has changed then.
The bikes still great though!
