I've had the bike out several times and so far I'm impressed. I notice more chatter around 2k rpms. Is this normal?

I hear it while shifting up or down. Injectors / fuel management?

I just got the Ivan’s flash. I waited 2 years and 12k miles too long. The bike feels great. 25mph used to suck so bad with heavy engine breaking and decal pops. All fixed and all gone. It feels like a bike should now.

hey guys I own a (2016 Kawasaki Vaquero) and I'm really excited for Ivan's ECU flash but at the same time I'm really afraid it might effect the bike after several years.
can someone help me decide cuz I'm so scared. knowing that I'm in the Middle East so if something goes wrong It will cost me a lot to ship the ECU to the states and back to the Middle East
plus I'm considering the (power commander V) cuz I consider being an outsource so I can remove anytime if something goes wrong, but is it worth it

Just get Ivans ECU flash and forget about getting a Power Commander.

The ECU flash will not harm the bike and the bike will be the same in several years as the day when the flash was first done.

Get the flash. Disconnect the O2 plug, ride and enjoy!

Fuzz are you use 91 or greater high test gas as the flash requires it some can get away with it, but Ivan tuned the ECU for high test gas.

When you say chatter do you mean more intake noise ?
If so it is perfectly normal, especially in the 2500 to 2800 rpm range.

Finally went ahead and got the flash. Waited too long to do it. Took it for a short ride yesterday. Thank god no more decel popping. And the extra power is a plus too. Started it up in the driveway after the install. The wife and I both noticed that it sounded different. Smoother and slightly quieter. Can't wait to do some long term testing. :)

I have Ivans flash on my 1300 V Star. Open the throttle wide at 100 kmph and it takes off like a scalded cat.
