I've always had curiosity for the software side of motorcycles. Naturally, offering this service exposed me to how ECUs are configured and how modifying their information works. It's fascinating and has many levels of complexity that genuinely excites me so as for trust, know that I'm really passionate about it.
2020-2026 Indian Challenger/Pursuit/Chieftain Powerplus, 2022-26 Indian Chief/Sport Chief, 2019-24 Indian FTR, Indian Scout 2014-2026, Indian Thunderstroke heavyweight models 2014-2026
Chieftain, Springfield, Chief Classic, etc. ECUs are really tedious to remove so these are typically done with the motorcycle in person. No issue flashing these motorcycles otherwise.
No. Every calibration is configured for your year, model, and parts setup. Slip‑on? Full exhaust? Intake? Cams? Big bore? Your tune is configured around your build.
Exhaust systems (slip-ons and full), High-flow intake, High-flow throttle body, High-flow fuel injectors, Cams, Big bore kits, Stage upgrades
If you think your parts build is unusual, reach out.
Any modification can affect warranty claims, but ECU flashes rarely cause issues. Dealers can still read and service the ECU normally. If a dealer overwrites your flash with an update, it can be reflashed.
Any major change (exhaust, intake, cams, etc.) requires a new flash and is treated as a separate cost. Minor changes (grips, bars, accessories) do not alter the ECU flash.
Servicing your battery is no issue for the ECU flash.
It is highly recommended to remove the external tuner to not conflict with the ECU flash. Stacking tunes can cause unpredictable behavior as the ECU flash replaces the need for piggyback tuners. If you decide to use the tuner again, the ECU can be flashed to its original calibration and the tuner can be reused.
First, don’t panic. The flash itself does not trigger CELs. Check for bent contact pins on the ECU, an ECU connector not fully seated, pinched wires, a loose battery ground wire, a sensor left unplugged during reinstallation.
If everything is connected and the light remains, contact me.
No. If you already have a check engine light, that is indication of a pre-existing issue. It is recommended to resolve that issue first before flashing the ECU.
I appreciate the thought! While I would love to help make your bike better, it likely makes more sense for you to work with someone closer. I’d be glad to point you in the direction of a remote tuner closer to you. Reach out.
Any updates to the ECU will overwrite the flash. If this happens, the ECU will need to be reflashed. The recommendation is to have your ECU and other modules updated before sending your ECU in.
During the flash process, the speed limiter is removed in case the motorcycle is used in a closed course event. Public road laws should always be respected.
It depends on the parts installed and model but expect at least 5-7% along with the other benefits of the flash.
