Disappointing news from 2wheeldynoworks

Plenty of other places. Don't lose sleep over $5.

After reading a whole bunch of positive messages regarding 2wdw flashes on MT-10s, I went with them about a year ago with a mail-in flash. Ended up with razor sharp dangerous throttle response for some reason, and long story short was hung out to dry after never receiving a call back after trying to work out the situation over the phone a couple times. I included a paper in the box which had 3 or 4 specific questions, and they tossed it I guess and never answered any of them. Annoyed, I abandoned ship on 2wdw, assuming I'd just be in for more frustration.

Sent the ECU to Vcyclenut, and had more (different) problems. Bogging, down on power, strange stuff. We sent it back and forth between WA and CA probably 4 times, and ended up back with a factory flash and a refund. He tried his best to figure out what was going on and for that I am grateful.

Talked with Nick at Stoltec Moto who sells a Flash Tune kit which includes a tune that he developed with 2WDW a few years back, and I was finally able to get it flashed with a good feeling tune. The Flash Tune software itself is buggy when trying to make fine adjustments on the low-end of the throttle table, and seems to suffer from some kind of strange value rounding bug where numbers change unpredictably when clicking in fields. Seems to be isolated to Yamaha data tables, so I'm thinking there's some data translation happening internally (base10 <> base16 type of thing) which malfunctions somehow... So, it's not perfect either but all things considered it was the only route that worked for my bike. Not sure why it was/is such a problem child.

Skmt, we tried both. My ECU wasn't having either from him, apparently.

David's awesome. He really went above and beyond to try and get it going for me, and to get a full refund after all his efforts and him absorbing a bunch of shipping costs says a lot about his character. My 2014 fz09 got a flash from him and it is 100% good.
Skmt, let me know how your situation turns out. I'm curious... Stoltec moto, also good people if you need to go that route. Got myself a Penske shock, tune & flash interface, fork valve for the 09 from him. Would not hesitate to recommend either David or Nick to anybody.
If you do end up with issues w/David's tune you might mention Travis' MT-10 ordeal, which he will likely remember.

I had 2wdw flash my 23’ MT07 and it is terrific. No problems and it runs Sooo much better.

Good to know. Decisions, decisions.

Can you elaborate on what you noticed and what mods you did on your 7. I have the LV full exhaust upgrade on my bike. Get a few light pops on decel at the lower RPM.

Yep.

My blipper never worked properly from day 1.

First issue was they sent the euro harness instead of the USA harness. They barely helped, told me to check the wiring, etc etc. Took me sending them a screenshot of a FB convo with Nate at 2WDW saying I had the wrong harness and me begging them to let me try the other harness for them to begrudgingly send me the correct harness. Shipped the old one back on my dime as well.

Second issue was the blipper would double-blip on occasion - probably 25-30% of the time. Very annoying and borderline dangerous. Sent the original sensor back (again at my cost) for them to say "That's the old style, we'll send the new one".

New one did the same thing. Spent way too much time troubleshooting with them. Sent this sensor back (on my dime, of course) and they sent me another.

SAME PROBLEM. Spent MONTHS over emails with them. They had me check the voltages of each gear from the gear position sensor. Then they wanted the voltages with tension on the lever both up and down in each gear. Sent them all that info."Everything is good" they said. "No idea what's going on" they said. All while REFUSING to refund me for it.

Now mind you this took so long because they would constantly go 4-6 WEEKS without responding to me. Then I'd get responses for a day or two then nothing for several more weeks despite me emailing them weekly for an update. I didn't want to call at this point as I wanted everything in writing. Excuses like "our guy quit, we just moved offices, etc etc". At this point Stoltec wouldn't take it back either (it had been nearly at year so I don't fault them for that).

I even filed a BBB complaint. I included all the details including a PDF of the entire months-long email chain(s). They didn't even bother to respond.

FTECU also has forums, even an FZ/MT specific sub forum. That you can't post in. Plenty of other people are posting there though. I can login but can't find where to post anywhere. Makes no sense. I emailed about seeing if I needed some kind of verification or something and never got a response about that (surprise surprise).

Even Nate at 2WDW was in utter disbelief at their level of incompetence. I bought a never-installed Translogic kit from someone on here and installed that. Boom. Works perfectly. No double-blipping. I had an issue where the upshift sensor stopped working on me. They replaced the sensor free of charge even though I didn't buy it new. THAT is customer service.

I pulled the FTECU when I installed the Translogic. Put it back in when I sent my TL sensor back. Used it until the end of the season (didn't feel like swapping it back) which was probably November-ish. Pulled it over the winter and put it on the top shelf of my toolbox. There it sat until I sold it on one of the FB groups. Only got a measly $100 for it. Nate offered $20 off the $200 code card to enable the blipper in the ECU. Buy installs it and the blip works but not the QS. What. The. Fuck. he checked it and got no connection on the QS side. I refunded him plus spent another $10 on a return shipping label for him.

Now I have a broken FTECU blipper sensor and I'm out well over the $400 purchase price including all the return shipping on my dime, forget about time I have spent checking voltages, etc.

Fuck FTECU. Fuck them with a serrated rusty silo. The most useless customer service I've ever encountered. Spend your money with a company that doesn't suck.
