A fact to start: No stock Guzzi ECU/F.I. system is fully adaptive, nor can 99% of the dealers do anything to help as they are mostly factory map/warranty restricted. If you modified your bike, it will NOT adapt. Even completely stock, fuel mapping is set up for emissions, not the health and longevity of your motor. They will run poorly and hot. This is just a simple fact of an air-cooled engine running in modern times. Remember "air-cooled" is really reliant on fueling to properly cool it; Your motor is fuel-cooled in large. In our decades of fueling experience, proper air/fuel revisions can significantly reduce operating temps, smooth engine vibration, allow the throttle response to be stellar, and more often then not, increase low and mid-range power.
For 2013-2020 V7 & V9s (E4 and older models): Our flash tool/map ECU update device is the ONLY option available for this service: They CANNOT run a Power Commander due to their internal Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). For E5 models, for now, see our UpMap device HERE.
SERVICE RESETS for E4/5 models: The Service wrench icon is a function of the speedo. Reset does get communicated via the same Diag plug, it has nothing to do with the ECU. Yes, the wrench can be reset and not disturb the ECU data. Just be SURE THE ECU MAP NEVER GETS UPDATED.
To start, your bike is expected to be in top/recent Service/Tune. Our maps are built based on spec engine settings, including Euro valve lash check/set. This is PARAMOUNT to good running. Our maps are also built around (if you haven't yet already done) the evap can & tip valve delete (and SAS Kit HERE if you have a V7 III, V7-850, V9, V85TT).
The stock system is developed to handle elevation and temp changes using the stock sensors once a good base map is established.
Warranty: ANY modifications to your bike will technically void the warranty. It is up to your dealer... Call them and ask using logic and the facts above.
We will not discuss any other means of ECU flashing here, do not ask or post on it. We have been Guzzi-focused with this since 2001. You get what you pay for... Click on the STORE tab above or see links below.
That said; For ALL V7 (Mk I, II & III) & V9 owners; Our new touch-screen Flash Tool (FT) programmer for ECU "map" updating. NOTE: Windows ONLY program supplied, and it will flash ONLY *one* Bike/ECU. The Flash Tool does NOT come pre-loaded with maps, you MUST read your ECU and send us the file first. It will capture and store your bike's stock map once you plug in for the first time, then you email your file to us for revision, typically in 24 hours or less. It will also allow you to return/flash it back to the stock map (it will read and keep your stock map once you connect, and must be set back to stock before a dealer visit) or any future map revisions for whatever reason. This is the only option for fueling corrections, as the MIU ECU used on the V7/V9 cannot accept a PC-V/AutoTune. For those asking, it is not public roadway legal. See post below for ECU/Diag plugs. Purchase info HERE.
It's also a Diagnostic Tool: It handles mandatory TPS reset post re-flash AND the subsequent TPS resets we suggest you do at least seasonally: It does NOT yet allow Service resets on 2017+ V7/9s.

Sure does. Stock fueling is set up for the stock mufflers, replacing the mufflers with most anything aftermarket (with increased flow and no cat-cons) will cause mostly lean fueling (though rich in some areas). Even stock, corrective fuel mapping can make the bike far more enjoyable and run much cooler.
