If you get the ECU re-flashed will you lose all the ability to switch engine modes, traction control, etc?
Do you just end up with the one setup after the re-flash and how does that affect what mode is displayed then?
I like the ability to tune it down if caught in the rain but really want to have it flashed to release the beast ..... LOL

Don't expect a beast after the ECU flash as it will only add maybe 5-7 hp. The real benefit of the ECU flash is a better, cooler running engine, and better/smoother throttle response.

I am also changing the exhaust and air filter so hope to get a little more but mainly the top end.

Let us know how it feels once you get all the mods installed. I ride country roads only where the speed limit is max 55 so I don't get to hit the top end too often.

Here is a great video of Chris Moore ECU tuning a 2019 ZX6R. Chris does an excellent job showing the process and results so you know what to expect from the 2019+ ZX6R with similar mods. I drove my ECU down to Chris and he is a super nice guy who will take the time to answer any questions and give you advice. I highly recommend using Moore Mafia for ECU tuning. When using Moore Mafia make sure to request the decel fuel cut be disabled or Chris will leave it enabled by default.

Anyone use Superbike Unlimited? They claim to be number 1 and honestly the only one that has answered my emails?

Yes, I had the SBU ECU flash on my 400. I drove out to SBU and met with Freddy. Nice guy and very knowledgeable. I would have no problem using SBU again for the ZX6R.

Before I send out the ECU I was thinking while I have the bike all apart do I go ahead and remove the stock header and knock out the CAT and have them tune for that or is there really any advantage other than more sound? I have the Akrapovic slip on ,Mid pipe, K&N filter and Block off plates coming next week? Is it gonna be worth it to knock out the Cat for the Flash or just leave it? ... Thanks!

I do not remove the cat from anything I own, but that is a personal preference. I use high flow cats when replacing headers or downpipes.

The flash can be tailored for a cat or no cat so it's just a matter of making a decision and telling the tuner if the cat has been removed or not.

If you are using SBU ask Freddy what he recommends.

Chris recommends unplugging the 02 senor as a precaution. Since the 02 is disabled in the ECU there is really no need to unplug it. I had mine plugged in after the ECU flash and then removed the 02 sensor a week later and there was no difference.

Make sure you tell Chris to disable the "decel fuel cut" or he will leave it enabled by default.

Is that the excessive popping? I said NO (As in I do not want it to pop)

The popping on deceleration is very mild with my Hindle slip-on, and I have no block off plates. Disabling the decel fuel cut will smooth out the throttle response by keeping the injectors on all the time. If you don't mind the jerky on/off throttle then leave it enabled.
