Steve has been working diligently on this flash version for a while and he just unveiled it on his site.
I had the pleasure of being one of the beta testers for him and I can tell you guys this is the most refined flash so far.
By refined I mean this was not a flash and forget type of test . I started with the EVO and to me I thought that was it. I couldn't imagine anything better.
Then I tested the MR (not sure what version)
I live up here in the North Ga mountains and we have no shortage of elevation changes and twistys so you get to shift quiet a bit.
That said I put this thing through some rigorous riding with the goal of giving usable feedback that Steve could rely on and tweak .
I even gave myself a car sick feeling one time when hammering wolfpen gap in different gears and different speeds. I didnt know that was possible lol.
Steve told me to stop that and ride it normal :-[
I was totally satisfied with it but after speaking to him he reflashed my ecu again with some extra tweaks .
Again I was satisfied but he wasn't and he was right because it came back better still.
Ok whats better you ask?
We have all been aware of the drive line snatch or whatever you wanna call it on the C14 from day one.
Each flash it got smoother and for me up here in the mountains the shifting is now snatch free in every gear.
Entering curves the decell properties allow me to roll off the throttle using much less brake and get back on with confidence having
a smooth roll on that powers out with authority.
I notice power down low in any gear is much stronger. This gives the ability to pull corners up hill in higher gears than previously needed.
If your the type to tractor the hills and curves then this will put a smile on your face.
As far as riding two up and just looking to ride smooth and clean. You have to work for it now . Its there.
No helmet clanking.
Fuel economy is much improved from stock too.
I could go on and on but Ill let some of the other guys chime in.
I do want to say thank you Steve for allowing me to test and continuing to make the C14 better than it ever was.
