    Power commander map for my 2006 FZ1

    Until you get to the tuner, you can try some of the map packs that Duken has compiled into one big zip file. There's a long thread on the other FZ1 forum. FZ 1 Map Pack

    ECU Flash question

    I believe Ivan recommends a PCFC or PCV to go with his flash. Vcyclenut can do a basic flash to remove restrictions or provide a new fuel map. I run David's basic flash which is a great value in itself, but I later added a PCFC so I can play with the fuelling... Edit - realized you are...

    Swingarm Spools/Bobbins

    Gen II fan switch

    As an alternate solution, you could get the basic flash from Vcyclenut so the fan comes on at 205F, correct your speedometer, remove any restrictions and smooth out the throttle 'snatch'...
