in R1

Real simple here.I cannot find a file for a 2018 with a Graves setup like mine and had to use the unrestricted file to get myself home.You cannot see what files are available until you purchase the tuner and was disappointed to not see one for my bike.Does anyone have a suggestion.Also I have an active tune on the way    Thanks

    When you go to any flash kit for any bike on our site, each page has the ECU files that are available for that bike, plus instructions in case your file is not on the list:

    Thank you.

    The people over at Graves will send me the file I need.They required proof of purchase of their pipe so the tune doesn't get shared.I fully understand about intellectual property and why it's not supplied to everyone.Anyone with a 2018 or newer R1 looking for a Graves pipe file will need to contact them.They are extremely helpful

    Just to clear things up in case you were not aware of me not wanting to create my own tune and I wanted to use a Graves tune written for a particular pipe but there is no 2018 R1 Graves file on the system.I tried a file for a 2017 and the bike wouldn't start so I switched back with no problem.The actual ECU part numbers for different years are apparently written into the file or something but a different part number ECU stopped my bike from running..

    This is why we have this sticky post on the forum:

    EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO FLASH THE CORRECT FILE!

    Before you flash a file onto your ECU, please double-check and ensure that you are using the CORRECT file for your ECU. Check the part number on your ECU and make sure that it matches the part numbers listed for the flash file. Most of our folders contain numerous files for a particular model. If you try to flash a file that has a different part number (signifying that it is for a different year or market model) than the ECU, you could end up causing a major write error into the ECU that will trigger numerous codes and usually result in a non-running motorcycle. Some motorcycle ECUs cannot be rewritten and corrected once this occurs, meaning that it has become an expensive paperweight, MEANING YOU WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ECU. Don't just grab any old file from the folder for your particular motorcycle.
