Emailed Holeshot, they said flashing is a waste of time with the stock pipe. I'd like to remove the secondaries and have no problem buying a PC and dyno tune. What say you?

It may be all psychological, I could not notice an extra 5% gain in power as some can... And who is riding these machines to their power limit?
Dyno dont lie.
IThere's no earthy reason to put 80K on a bike running it so lean that it cause throttle surging and inconsistencies, however minor they might be..
Dyno dont lie.
No but they don't tell the real story either. Chasing horsepower is often far nore expensive than just buying the bike you really want, something with more power.
Holeshot has some nice stuff but add it up, the slope is slippery and by the time you're done, no matter how cheap the bike was, you have an expensive bike that cost more than another that came with the power out of the crate.
Remapping the ecu does reap rewards, with the stock exhaust. It's cheap and reliable.
Can you really use or even feel the extra power of the stage 2 stuff day to day? If you can, then that other rider who bought the 140 HP bike from the get go has it all over you because once they do what you did, they are still way ahead. They start out with more and you play catch up.
My Bandit came with stuff, would I buy it if had to out it on myself? No way. For that money far better and easier just to buy higher HP bike.
A real good tune is where it's at.
Not true.Holeshot wants to sell you a pipe.
Stock exhausts rock because they are quiet.
I had my Stock FZ-09 reflashed and had the fueling remapped.
Big difference: 7-8 HP.
I'm not questioning the gains, just saying I would not notice while riding.
Unless you've ridden a stage 2 bandit that's assuming a lot.
