Yoshimura Alpha Slip-on Questions

[Champ87]

However I just got bike, spent enough and its is soon winter here , in time I will eventually get flashed. I have the Alpha pipe at home , looking forward to installing it

I'm not qualified to say 100%, but if it were my bike I wouldn't feel any immediate need to get it flashed. I would enjoy what's left of the riding season then pull the ECU over winter.

I am done for season now:) That would be plan on ecu, I just have some concern on warranty as I have 4 yrs. Thanks for response , but as mentioned did you decat or leave cat and just flash w slip on and sprint, thats what I was asking or did you go ZX10R header in order to decat

[Champ87]

I swapped out for the ZX10R header. My ECU was already flashed for stock exhaust but I haven't had the flash updated yet following the exhaust change. I'll pull the ECU and send it to vcyclenut for reflash over winter but lack of reflash hasn't bothered me or caused any catastrophic problems.

Now is the best time to ship it out. As for the warranty, if its really important to you, leave it stock. That being said, my bike has been tuned for 2 seasons and added the intercooler last winter and no issues. Runs better/cooler then it did stock.

I hear you and do know I will flash, just perhaps not this season. Had a 15 WRX new, flashed it within 7000km and then went deep, never an issue , and I would expect same w the bike , just alot of other goodies I would like to do and then flash following. I will get there, for sure. What are you at for miles? I may be your way next summer, I am planning to get some good km's this summer

I am at 14,000kms with 4 track days (2 with and 2 without the intercooler) and a few drag racing events, so i would say 30-40 1/4 mile runs. Not to mention fucking around on the hwy. still running like a champ. That intercooler helped alot, especially for the track days where the rpm is always high, building heat. Looking forward to getting back to the Area 27 track in Oliver BC next summer. Not that I sorted out my front forks, I can push it abit harder.

Since I am in Canada it is a real pain to ship off my ECU, I am trying to find out whether we have a reliable source for flashing in Canada.

None better than Vcyclenut! And now he lives near Blaine, WA, which is not far from you! You could make arrangements to ride down and wait while he flashes your bike...!

Both Vcyclenut and 2 Wheel Dynoworks are in WA.
