2017 yamaha r1 ecu flash4/12/2024 For some reason, that's a huge money-maker. If it weren't for the service department, there's no way a dealership would survive. That's just about the only thing that isn't available over the internet - and even that's starting to change. How exactly is he supposed to stay in business? Service. So you have a guy who owns a 10,000 square foot building, an inventory of bikes for which he has to pay flooring if they don't sell quickly enough, employees, insurance, advertising expenses, etc., and so far he's barely made a dime off you. So then, after you bought your bike - be honest here - how much money have you actually spent at your dealer for parts and accessories? Somewhere between a little and none? We all shop online for just about everything these days, right? (Here's the part where someone chimes in and says, "Hey, I spend thousands of dollars every year buying parts from my local dealer!" Good for you, but you are absolutely the exception to the rule.) So even if you paid retail, the dealer isn't exactly getting rich from that sale. And believe it or not, there isn't a whole lot of markup on motorcycles - especially cheap-ass loss leaders like the FZ/MT09. The dealers know they have to haggle to get your business, and most of them eat the profit on the bike to get you in the door. There's a whole thread here where people brag about paying thousands under retail for their bikes. When you bought your bike, most likely you paid less than MSRP. I'll probably get slammed for this, but maybe we need to just suck it up sometimes when it comes to paying for service. I'm sure i'm not the first to encounter this but i'm just really frustrated. The only thing i'm wondering is if there is a way to access the diagnostic data by using a custom PID within Torque Pro through the OBD2 adapter, but I don't have the ability to figure that out. I have the adapter cable and an OBD2 reader and can access most live data, error codes, etc, but there's no way to access these diagnostic codes from what I can tell. I have a service manual, I have the knowledge and skill to fix my problem, and Yamaha made it so there's no way for me to get the data from my bike without paying a dealership to do it for me. He said that the Yamaha diagnostic tool is really expensive and he told me that to adjust the TPS and APS would be 1-3 hours and their shop rate is $95/h. I just got off the phone with a service tech at my Yamaha dealership who told me that Yamaha removed diagnostic mode from the FZ09 specifically because they wanted more people to come into dealerships to get service done. So in order to read the TPS and APS angle numbers to set the sensors properly, Yamaha tells you you need to use the Yamaha Diagnostic Tool. Easy peasy.Īs many of your know, 2017+ models no longer have the diagnostic mode built into the dash (activated by holding the two buttons and turning on the ignition). Service manual explains how to adjust them by loosening the screws and rotating the sensors. My assumption is that my APS/TPS needs to be adjusted, and that most likely when I installed them, they weren't positioned properly. Now however, when my bike is cold, it has a rough idle, the throttle isn't responsive and it'll stall out if I give it too much throttle before it warms up. I replaced my battery, returned ECU to stock, and ran in circles until I finally replaced my APS and TPS which solved my issue. Long story short, all season I've been chasing down an issue with my bike.
