Still haven't heard from AreaP as to if and when I can get a full exhaust delivered.

not at all. Steve

It does a little bit in that you get better fuel mileage with eco turned off running Steve's flash.

That's confusing.  I think you get better mileage in ECO mode (or whatever it's called) regardless of whether you are bone stock or have Steve's flash.   I believe Steve just stated that his flash doesn't touch those maps.

I think he just means that the bike gets better mileage now (on the flash) than it does in ECO mode. I know it made a big difference on mine. Best I used to see even at cruising speeds for long periods was 39-40mpg. Now I get 42-43 in town. Then again mine is the far superior first Gen with only a GO mode.  ;)

Above a link to  Dyno chart of GTR1400 in Australia with a different Kawasaki exhaust and the flies out. In eco mode it is making more power and torque than in normal mode. Standard unflashed ECU.

I'll be removing my ECU this weekend and packing it up. (I'll send you a note, Steve, per your instructions.) It'll likely go out next Monday.

My 2012 C14 is relatively new; only 1,400 miles on it. I've got a Muzzy slipon on it, and aside from a few ergo/protective farkles, not otherwise decked out. All the same, in low RPMs, there is a bit of catchiness - not enough to be disturbing, but it's there - that I have to imagine would become more pronounced with more miles.

I'm not blessed with a lot of twisties where I live, but there are a few straights that I figure will be interesting to negotiate. All the same, I'm not an aggressive rider but do appreciate a motor with muscle. Looking forward to this experience.

just in... finally got the full areaP system flash dyno'd. done on the same dyno as all my other runs, and also the same dyno that Daytona mike used for his flies out / pcv runs. Mine squeaks by Mikes, a couple HP here, a couple there. I think this proves that flies out and a PCV isn't the only way to get power from a c-14.

  Here's the chart, I'm having trouble getting it sized to post. important #'s, 160.83 Hp, 102.69 Tq CF-Std, a/f ratio at top 12.9:1 Steve

Nice!  About the only thing else to test would be the larger ZX throttle bodies :)

Oh, that is true.  I forget that although the full area P is larger header, pipe, and muffler, it isn't is dual system.  However, I don't know if that will ultimately matter.  I suppose it depends :)

What did they say the issue was? I found them awesome to deal with, they even got me one with the turndown tip because I didn't care for the new styled one as much. I think they might want to concentrate on making a bunch of full systems, because I have a hunch they are about to get busy. ;D
