I just booked my baby in to have the ECU flashed/unleashed. I have the 5vy (2006) and have managed to find a place in the UK that can actually do it. What are your thoughts/experiences, and what are the pros/cons of having this done?

Please let me know any differences please. I know the increases are limited due to what is run by the 5vy ecu. If its just fueling then that can be done other ways obviously. Anything g else is a bonus. Like I say please report shat is changed ta

I am not sure how to get it Daz, I have asked Hammy if he still has it but he works offshore and he is a hard man to track down.
To be fair its not for the faint of heart or limp of wrist

Well that suits me as I'm getting seriously disheartened with the way the bike is now, if I don't get it to do what I want it will be sold next year. I'm not saying for one minute I'm a isle of man tt winner but I can ride a bike to a degree, but I want the bike to do what I want not what the ecu thinks I should have buddy

Nothing to flash on a 4xv [emoji4]. Could rejet the carbs I suppose but it feels just fine to me.

I do tend to agree with you Daz, "its my bike, give me all the power and I will either ride it or die"
Ask Scrappy what its like and if you still fancy it, I will lend you it to try out.
I mean no dis-respect mate but this is not for everyone

Don't worry buddy I knew what you meant. I've taken the plunge and sending my ecu to Mike. I just hope he can do something with it so it like yours, like I said I've ridden a flashed 4c8 and it was better but not what I want. Any help you can give me and Mike I'd really appreciate buddy.
