As with everything i've been reading the internet options and i'm more contemplating this one than deffo going for it which is an ECU remap.
https://www.wizperformance.co.uk/
This is the guy i used for the XSR900 and i was most happy with the results after a recommendation from
@Demannu so there's no logical reason i wouldn't use him again. I pinged him a message and he replied with "some of the ECUs we cannot do, i'll need a picture from the ECU sticker". I thought "yeah how hard can that be ... answer.... not as easy as you'd like. LOL.
Here's the blurb for anyone interested
ECU flashing is not only more cost effective than its alternatives but it is superior because but it also allows for more precise tuning fuel maps which automatically compensate for changing atmospheric conditions and it allows for modification of parameters that are not otherwise tunable such a throttle valve actuation.Our Standard Flashes are preset flashes that can not be altered, if you would like something specific done to your ecu you will need to choose our Custom Flashing Service.
One of the key areas we re work is the jerky throttle action these bikes are known for - once flashed this bike is much smoother
Yamaha MT07's will typically see a good 4-5hp gain across the entire rev range, not just at peak power. This means its much more noticeable even at low rpm's
Simply remove your ecu, send it to us in the post. We then re flash to your needs and return. Quick, effortless and a modification that actually provides results.
Standard Flashing Service:(Full Exhaust)
- Remove Throttle-by-Wire restrictions - Standard engine braking reduction - Disable Injector Decel Cut - Professional fuel map modification to suit exhaust - Removal of all gear based or speed dependent restrictions, TRE - Optimized timing maps - Disable AIS valve (always closed) - Reduce Fan Temps to keep the bike cooler
Standard Flashing Service:(Slip-On)
- Remove Throttle-by-Wire restrictions - Standard engine braking reduction - Disable Injector Decel Cut - Professional fuel map modification to suit exhaust - Removal of all gear based or speed dependent restrictions, TRE - Optimized timing maps - Disable AIS valve (always closed) - Reduce Fan Temps to keep the bike cooler
Custom Flashing Service Options:
- Remove Throttle-by-Wire restrictions - Standard engine braking reduction - Disable Injector Decel Cut - Professional fuel map modification to suit exhaust - Removal of all gear based or speed dependent restrictions, TRE - Optimized timing maps - Disable AIS valve (always closed) - Reduce Fan Temps to keep the bike cooler - Default to A-mode
With ECU flashing technology you no longer need to buy and fit a Dynojet Power Commander, Bazzaz ZFI, secondary fuel module, ignition module, just to name a few:
Power Commander or other piggy back fuel controllers Power Commander Secondary Fuel Module Power Commander Ignition Module Bazzaz ZFTi Two Brothers JuiceBox Leo Vince Fast II fuel and ignition box Simply after purchase disconnect your ECU using the simple instructions we will send to you and post to us, the same day we recieve your ECU we will flash it removing all throttle restrictions and setting your desired engine braking and fuel map dependant on the exhaust/filter you have fitted and ship it back to you the same business day. Power Commander and other Secondary Fuel modules cannot remove the restrictions that we do, this will make your bike as close to a YEC Race ECU as you can get, at a much cheaper price and without the need for a YEC race wiring loom. If you have a PCV, PCIII etc fitted already, send us the map along with your ECU and we will flash the map onto the ECU for you at the same time as the de-restriction, allowing you to remove the Power Commander unit and sell it on.
If you need further modification making after your ECU has been flashed and returned, all thats required is you return your ECU and cover the postage and we make the changes FREE of Charge.
Please note: some MT07s (newer 2017+ models) will get an engine management light after the flash, this needs to be cleared off and you are good to go. Failure to clear the code will just result in a light on the dash, but the bike will still perform as expected.
Just like the XSR900, the MT07 is a fake tank, well, tank covers i guess you'd call them.
The XSR was quite intuitive on removal though, take out the 8 holding bolts, 4 push clips and it comes off.... the MT07 is a little more complex lol. Especially the center panel which should in theory be the easiest one of all, but it's a bit of a pull push, tug, where they have little inlays that slot into the adjoining panel and you're pulling it thinking "oooooh i'm not sure that's not going to rip them all off"... but in the end it was OK.
ECU is in the bottom right of the bike under a rubber strap.

So we'll see what he says.
I'm mostly interested in the engine braking aspect as it can be reduced, which i think would help it into some corners and on track. However the more i ride the bike, the more i think "meh, not sure it actually matters".
