terryd.....yes, you will be okay running around with the flash until you get your open air kit installed, and then, you will really be smiling when you notice more power right out of the gate. Things are changing now on bikes since the old re-jetting carbs days, and even the fuel processors for the injected bikes don't hit it on the mark....the flash takes all the epa demanding quirks away and lets the bike run wide open like timing changes, and other stuff the little "brain" now handles with out the restrictions. It is a real good thing.

Captj3 I agree.....I love the tornado and it makes good power and takes away some of the hissing and other weird intake noises a little better. Easy to service the filter too. And lastly besides it looking great, it's out of the way of the right knee which I like.

Was paying attention to the speedometer this morning on my way in. Now you have to understand what the speed limit is in Dallas to appreciate todays observation.
The sign says 70mph. What this means is, if you're not doing 70, your a road hazard. I don't like being passed by a lot of cars, so I go with the flow. Most of the time. Anyway, going from one highway to another and getting ready to merge into traffic. Guy in front of me is doing 60. Traffic I'm going to merge in to is doing about 75. Guy speeds up to 65, I dropped to 5th gear. See it's clear to get over and roll the throttle. Looked down once I was over, speedometer is at 92mph. I'm really liking this bike since the reflash.

No kidding the roll on power with the flash increased very noticeably. Even 6th gear pulls so much harder than before and reassures great passing power. I love it.

Just received mine today. All he said it would be. No long ride yet, but several miles and ran like it should have from factory. Much smoother throttle and acceleration through full RPM range. No backfire on decell.

Just be careful in the wet conditions and remember it will be a different bike.

It's suppose to SNOW on Monday in Lead, SD where we're staying the night. WTF... It's pretty much summer, lets get this crap weather done with already!

This forum and Ivan....
Anyone notice, in this forum subject that there has been 20,552 reads, and 445 responses? That alone should tell Kawasaki that people are interested in better performance in all aspects for these bikes. And, that does not include responses from other forums for other bikes!
Ivan, you're gonna have to hire some more people......... hank43 Oh yeah, I haven't heard one bad thing about the reflash.

I'd have to say at this point I wouldn't buy another metric bike unless Ivan has a flash available. I was about to give up tuning my Vaquero when this came along and fixed everything I had complaints on.
