Default Biketronics updated flash procedure review

I have to start out by apologizing. My previous review of the Cerwin Vega B2 matched with Arc Audio Moto 602's was a lie. It did sound good, but today i went had the new biketronics flash procedure done to the bike and i adjusted the amp settings accordingly. Now this system really screams! !!!!!! Lol.

Holy cow, whole new animal. I will have to look what bin file I'm running later, gotta go ride. The previous flash worked ok, made it better than stock, but i can't believe how much different it is now.

I will have to mention the dealer i went to, C&S Harley in Mt. Pleasant, MI. I initially called the dealer i had problems with and ended up talking to the same jerk again and he remembered me of course. Acted like i didn't know what i was talking about once again, (i might not know everything there is to this stuff, but i have received a pretty decent education on here about the 2 wheel audio). With out knowing any of the problems i had with the other dealer, C&S took me back in the shop, introduced me to the service techs, had me do a before and after to make sure i was happy, and didn't charge me a dime. All they asked is that i keep them in mind in the future and tell my friends about them. Best Harley dealer experience i have had.


I would do a video, but i am positive that it wouldn't do it justice. I would recommend this setup to anyone and C&S Harley.

This; http://www.biketronics.com/content/2...mp%20Flash.pdf

If you install aftermarket amp/speakers there are some settings that need to be changed and can only be done with the dealers Digital Tech (HD laptop). There is supposed to be another way of doing it with software but I was told it runs around $1300. I don't personally know anyone who has it though http://www.diag4bike.eu/

Lol. . . I better wait until 2017 - 2018 to get my new bike. I run 10 speakers. I'm screwed! Hopefully they will have it figured out by then. If they don't I'll be rippin that system out and starting from scratch. lol

I only have the two fairing speakers. 1 19.1 software, 128_off bin file, no fader control, but i have bass and treble control.

Thank you again to Gannicus , haze, and Bill of biketronics for all of the advice i received through this process.

It's only a matter of time before someone is able to (successfully) hack this radio and the software.
