CLEARLY THE MOST POPULAR CONCOURS FLASHES AVAILABLE.       Features you'll get from all Shoodaben Performance flashes -1)  All flashes will improve power and smoothness everywhere in the rev range, from just off idle to redline. This makes low rpm riding and short shifting very comfortable. No need to wind the engine up to get up to speed.2) will work on all c-14's from 08 to 2022 models. For the 2015 up, flashes are available that will use the 02 sensors if you wish to retain them.3)  Deceleration fuel cut is disabled. The injectors will not shut off when you close the throttle . The result is no abruptness on and off throttle. You won't have to work to be "smooth coming on the throttle" anymore.4) Secondary Throttle maps completely rebuilt, and unique to each tune. If you ride 2 up, your passenger won't be banging their helmet into yours anymore. Shifting will be seamless, not clunky like the stock tune. Slow speed control of your bike like you've never imagined.5)  You will generally be riding in 1 to 2 gears higher for any given condition because of the increased torque.6)  If you're just "riding" and not working the throttle hard, the fuel economy increases will be clearly evident.7) Top speed limiters are removed. All fuel / timing / secondary control tables completely and exhaustively reworked. Full access to disable deceleration fuel cut, pair valve shut off, fan temp on/ off set points, and vvt control.  Nothing in common with the stock tuning!8) RPM limit is not raised on the Mountain Runner flashes. it remains 10,000 rpm which exceeds the engine's ability to gain power at that rpm; It is raised for the Area P flash and Hammer flash to 10500 for racing use. However, due to the weight of the VVT module on the end of the intake cam, I strongly advise caution as to how often you bounce the tach off the limiter. I have grave concerns about vvt related failure from high rpm shifts that can cause the top end of the engine to be destroyed. I have a vvt module that tore it's locating dowel out - See the pics at the bottom of this page.  Your c-14 IS NOT a zx14... those who tell you it is the same are either misinformed or trying to mislead you. Here's a video :        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXAQQnbF7OM&t=40s   9) timing retard is eliminated to the rpm limit on all flashes10) I tune with 10% ethanol pump gas. Mountain Runner is built with, and can safely run 89 octane. Mountain Runner PREMIUM and THE HAMMER must use 91+ octane, unless throttle is limited to less than 50%. 11) Grab a handful of throttle and look out! Take a look at the dyno charts below. These charts were developed with my stock 2012 Concours. The only modification is an Area P slip on muffler. My bike is well serviced; the valves are properly adjusted, air filter fresh, etc. Please remember that your actual dyno numbers will be different based on the mechanical condition of your bike. I have seen concours  make more power and some make less power on my dyno. 12) - I can alter the rev limiter or fan on/off temps to your specs, though I feel what I have in my flashes is the best choice from a mechanical and efficiency viewpoint.                What sets Shoodaben Performance flashes apart for the competition?       YOU DO.     Why? it's simple...

The engine braking is more subtle than stock, and applies on closing throttle like a bungie cord was hooked to the back of your bike. The deeper into the deceleration you go, the more the engine braking applies. This makes throttle modulation aid in control of the bike while riding curves and twisties. On acceleration from closed throttle, power applies less linearly over the first 10% of throttle input. No sudden "bang" of power to throw you off your line while leaned over. This really aids in coming back on throttle with great control when in tight twisties. This flash has been the overwhelming favorite of Concours owners.MOUNTAIN RUNNER PREMIUM For stock or slipon mufflers Built with premium octane fuel , this flash really exploits all the power available in the Concours 14 engine. It retains all the rideability of the MOUNTAIN RUNNER below 50% throttle but by using the tuning from THE HAMMER from  50% to 100% throttle this flash has stunning power. Peak power is the same as THE HAMMER.  A typical wide open throttle gain over MOUNTAIN RUNNER is 4-5# TQ in the lower rpms and 4-5 hp in the upper rpms. Please remember that this flash is running high cylinder pressures at relatively low rpms in order to get such high torque values. This REQUIRES you to run premium octane (91+ octane). This flash has the best of both worlds... throttle control and unmatched power. Very refined in general riding, crazy power with larger throttle application. If you're on a trip and in a pinch on finding premium fuel, you can use 89 octane if you stay below 50% throttle.THE HAMMER For stock or slipon mufflers. This would be considered my most aggressive flash, and requires premium (91+) octane. Very smooth from off to on throttle, but doesn't have the engine braking available in the MOUNTAIN RUNNER flashes. Throttle application from closed throttle to open is linear, with all the power available for each degree of throttle. This flash is designed to give as much power as the engine can give for every degree of throttle setting. It is very impressive in acceleration sharpness at all rpm or throttle settings. Please remember though this is a big engine making impressive power, and sometimes that's not ideal in tight twisties and curves unless you are a very skilled rider. The rev limiter is extended to 10,500 rpm. Caution should be applied here... see the vvt module info below. Coolant fan temp reduced 10* to help keep the engine cooler if staging at the dragstrip. If you are racing your concours, or "ride it like you stole it"  THE HAMMER  is the obvious choice.  Most folks want some way to measure the differences between MOUNTAIN RUNNER and the HAMMER flashes. It's really hard to do, but one of my customers was able to put it in a graph that gets the point across. Now remember, this is power only up to 10% throttle. This isn't perfect, but it does a good job, better than all my ramblings. As you view the graph, think about just coming back on power exiting a tight curve... sometimes all the power available isn't the best thing, unless you're a racer. Finite power control is what Mountain Runner is about.                                                                                                                                                       DYNO RUNS                                    While I'm not a big "dyno guy" because dynos tell us nothing about rideability, folks still like to see measured gains.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  First, let's look at my bike with a stock muffler and with an Area P slip on. Red trace is with the slip on muffler. Not much of a difference._______________________________________________________________________  Next, let's look at stock / stock with a slip on and mountain runner with a slip on  - Stock is the green  trace, done on a fully stock bike. The blue trace is stock with an Area P slip on, and no additional silencer / decibel killer . The red trace is Mountain Runner with the same Area P slip on.  Look at the torque, linearity and power gains achieved. Actual peak road power will be apx +5 hp, as I tune considering the effects of ram air, which cannot be replicated on a dyno.   MOUNTAIN RUNNER - significant gains in torque, and a 19 hp gain at 10,000 rpm redline over stock.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now let's compare Mountain runner Vs Mountain Runner Premium or The Hammer. Mountain Runner Premium and The Hammer are the same at wide open throttle, except that The Hammer has a 10,500 rpm rev limit. BIG gains over the big gains already achieved with Mountain Runner! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                 Mountain Runner Premium and the Hammer                                       Is this power level repeatable?    Here's 6 runs that say so. You decide. And notice the torque at only 3300 rpm. 97-98# TQ. A stock c-14 with nothing but a slip on.  Crazy!  AREA P FULL SYSTEM FLASH as the name implies, this flash is for bikes with a full system (header back) AreaP exhaust. This flash will also be a good choice for comparable aftermarket exhausts. For comparison, the AreaP system is a Tri-y, uses 44 mm head pipes and a 2.25" mid pipe. This pipe and flash made a huge power gain to 160.6 HP @ 9800 rpm, 105.6# TQ @ 6200 rpm, and 95# TQ @ 3500 rpm on my dyno.  I pulled out all the stops with this flash... The area P full system flash has very finite throttle control with Mountain Runner technology for controlled application of all that power. This map also has individually assigned gear / fuel trims to account for Ram Air, which cannot be duplicated on a dyno. In building this flash, Data was recorded from multiple high speed runs in excess of 160mph.See the dyno chart below named "Full Area P" -  actual high speed racing HP will probably be appx + 5 hp over that depicted, based on the difference provided by the ram air tuning I incorporate. This flash is designed to not lean out at speed like a typical dyno only flash will.                     -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All tuning was done with 89 octane / 10% ethanol pump gas. No need for higher octane. All tuning was done with a stock air filter and airbox, and an otherwise stock bike with stock gearing. Both extensive dyno work and datalogging while real world riding were done to build this flash.        This is a comprehensive flash, and includes the following changes to the ECU:     - Intake air pressure fuel maps optimized and different for each header setup;     -Throttle position fuel maps optimized and different for each header setup;     - Extensive reworking of the ignition timing table     - All gear based secondary throttle maps, both accel and decel optimized;     - Deceleration fuel cut is defeated, off/on throttle is smooth as butter!     - Rev limiter is raised 500 rpm to 10,000 with the stock header, 10,300 rpm for the Delkevic and Black Widow header flashes.     - Engine cooling fan on temp lowered 10*;     - off throttle fuel cut deleted, fueling corrected so there is no exhaust popping on hard decelerations;     - pair light shut off should you want delete the system with block off plates;     - Optional 1st gear wheelie suppression - Wheelies are cool, but they're not fast. I have an optional map for 1st gear wheelie suppression. I run this map, but others may not choose to - you decide what's best for you!     - Excessive deceleration braking has been eliminated. No more feeling like you're going over the bars on a hard throttle close. Deceleration is appropriate and gear specific;     - upshifts are smooth, no more jerkiness.       - Strong Idle even at 900 rpm, no more stalling while trying to get moving!

DYNO CHARTS The purpose of the following charts is to help you decide how you may want to modify your Versys1000, and which exhaust choice is best for you. 1) STOCK vs all STOCK with a Shoodaben Performance ECU FLASH.       2) stock VS Full black widow system      3) Stock vs full delkevic system, or a decatted stock header and delk slip on.          4) Aftermarket headers with open slip on's get LOUD and can result in a loss of light throttle response. We need some back pressure to bring the light throttle response back. Here I have drilled 48  .187" (3/16") holes through the sides of the Delkevic DBKiller, and reinstalled it. The result is imparting back pressure at light throttle settings and bringing light throttle response back, and no meaningful restriction of WOT power. (blue is the drilled DBKiller)

Currently available for 2015-23 models ! Shoodaben Performance is proud to announce the first ECU flash for the Kawasaki Versys 650. Just because you've chosen to ride a bike with a smaller engine doesn't mean you need to accept less than stellar performance. The Versys 650 is a blast to ride -  light, nimble, economical and it sure likes to lean! If you really want to enjoy your Versys 650 to the fullest, don't overlook what a good tune will do for your enjoyment of your bike. I've invested months of dyno and road time into my own 2015 Versys 650 to address any and all rideability issues that the Versys 650 has, and also add smoothness and power without sacrificing fuel economy. I worked diligently to improve the low rpm power on the 2015 - up gen 3 models. You will be shocked at how easy the bike is to ride at lower rpms now! I have also added the very popular "Mountain Runner" technology to help retain smooth and effective engine braking. Very useful when riding grades, curves, or even in traffic.      All tuning was done with 87 octane pump gas. No need for higher octane. This is a comprehensive flash, and includes the following changes to the ECU:    Intake air pressure fuel map optimized;    Throttle position fuel map optimized;    Ignition timing optimized;    All gear based secondary throttle maps optimized;    Deceleration fuel cut is deleted, off/on throttle is smooth as butter!    Rev limiter is lowered 500 rpm to 9500... safer for the engine and doesn't sacrifice any performance;    Engine cooling fan on temp lowered 10*.     Everyone likes dyno charts, but a 100% throttle chart shows little for our average riding because we're not on wide open throttle very often. On the other hand, a 50% throttle acceleration would probably be a normal, brisk acceleration for most Versys 650 riders. Here's a dyno chart of before and after 50% / 5th gear acceleration starting at 35 mph. The green line is the 2010-14 stock, the red line is the 2015 up stock, and the blue line is the Shoodaben tuned 2015-up.    Looking at the chart, think about a common acceleration you'll do. You'ld probably be mostly in the 4 to 8000 rpm range. If you notice, the Shoodaben Mountain Runner flash clearly gives more power in this area. Now think about doing an acceleration to catch up with traffic while merging. You are going to run though this rpm range for several gears. You will be quicker getting up to your next upshift with each gear. The net result is gaining speed much more quickly and not having to beat your engine to do it.          Here's a wide open throttle comparison of before (blue) and after (red) on my all stock 2015 Versys 650. If you notice, the tuned engine is making the same power by appx 7200 rpm as the stock engine is making at it's peak of about 8700 rpm. The increase in torque is evident from as low as 3000 rpm. This is power you can feel.     Please contact me at dan@shoodabenperformance.com  for removal / shipping / payment  information.

Picking your first bike is tough, because it's easy to outgrow a first bike. The Vulcan S is an ideal first bike because it's low and stable, and newer riders feel more secure when they can get both feet down. If there's a problem with first bikes though, it's that you'll outgrow them pretty quickly. In the case of the Vulcan S the size of the bike is well suited into your intermediate rider category, but the power starts being the limiting issue. Maybe it's time to consider adding some power to extend your enjoyment with your Vulcan S. While you're at it, how about increased smoothness, throttle control and better control going from off to on throttle. The Shoodaben Performance Flash is the first modification to offer all these improvements in a single package.    For those new to flashing, let me explain. The Shoodaben Performance ECU flash is changing the tuning parameters of the ECU (engine control unit) . It's easily done by removing the ECU from under the gas tank and sending it in to have the parameters re-written. This is called "flashing the ECU". When done properly with professional tuning, there will be no downside to flashing. It will not harm your engine, reduce your fuel economy or impact your warranty. It will, however, improve the performance and make your bike easier to ride. It's also not necessary to do other modifications to enjoy these benefits. you won't need to change the exhaust, air filter, etc.        The following changes are made within the Shoodaben Performance Vulcan S flash.     Intake Air Pressure fuel tables corrected. - Maintains fuel economy   Throttle Position Sensor fuel tables corrected. - Maintains economy and increases power   Timing tables corrected. - No need to run more than 87 octane   Secondary throttle tables rebuilt and gear dependent - Very smooth throttle control   02 sensor shut off,  - no more surging   Cooling fan comes on 10* lower - cooler when in traffic   Deceleration fuel cut is disabled, - no more "jerk" when re-opening from a closed throttle.    Here's a dyno chart comparing before and after power of Irene's otherwise stock Vulcan S. This added power is available in every gear, every speed!     The Red line is stock, the Blue line in the same bike with the Shoodaben Performance flash.                                                              CONTACT me at dan@shoodabenperformce.com and please include your phone # if you would like to speak with me. I will also respond by email with all the information you will need, from removal to payment.       COST  Since this is probably your first flash and I'd like to welcome you to the world of motorcycling improvements, I'm going to offer this flash for 250.00 which includes shipping and insurance in the US . That's a great price for a proven modification that will let you enjoy your bike more every time you ride it!
