Hey mate - where did you get your remap done? And how much did it cost?

It's a DIY remap - non restricted maps assembled with restricted ones and some additional tweaks to OEM flash. You need some programming background to create a new flash file and pay for a license for flashing tools. In this sense it's not a remap, you need to modify A LOT of stuff in a flash file - it took me some weeks to create a correct file.

Maybe it's possible to use a bin file from Thai bikes AS IS but I didn't tried it - repair bricked ECU would be quite difficult if something goes wrong. If you haven´t plan B I wouldn't choose this option.

Hola. ¿Cómo ha afectado la modificación del firmware de la ECU al consumo de combustible?

El consumo se ha reducido porque la mezcla al 100% de acelerador esta cerca de 13 en vez de 12 como estaba originalmente.

Hey timur,
I have a 2019 Honda CB500X. Are you offering ECU reflash?
If so, could we discuss it?
(Couldn't send you PM since I'm new here.)

Hiya, which model Fast Throttle did you use? There's no mention of Cb500x on their website

Thanks
