Hi, has anyone tried to convert a 2018 Yamaha MT-07A from 35kw to 55kw at a Yamaha dealership after ECU flashing with FTECU?
I got this problem that the Yamaha official software does not want to make the change and shows an error that some kind of file is missing.
I tried flashing the Stock file from the FTECU but it also did not work (shows the same error).
I tried contacting the FTECU but with no luck, i wonder if there is a way to restore my ECU to an OEM state.
I also contacted Yamaha and they told that the only way i to flash the OEM ECU file with the OEM software but i don't know where can i get the OEM file since my dumb ass did not save it before flashing.

As far as I know you cannot read the MT07 ECU with the FTECU kit, just write to it. At least that was my experience with the bike side harness.

The first thing I did when I got it hooked up was to backup the ECU, and it turned out I couldn't...so don't beat yourself up for not backing it up.

Worst case you could pickup another one - looks like they are about $100 on eBay.

I think FTECU has their version of “stock” files available under “stock restricted”. Ask which file over on the FTECU forum they are usually pretty quick to respond. Good luck!

I believe they are mechanically restricted to 35kw not software restricted as it has a mechanical throttle cable.

I think you are talking about the Australian LAMS version, i went to the Yamaha dealership and asked about it and they told me that on a 2018 EU model it is a software restriction and possibly the air-box but no throttle restrictions

I tried the stock file and it did not work, i read in the FTECU forums that once you flash your ECU for the first time it makes permanent changes and you cannot restore them on your own.
I'm waiting for a response from my dealership they said they will try to restore my ECU OEM files but they cannot guaranty that it will work.
I feel like i paid a bunch of money for the FTECU cable just to f@#k up my ECU 😅

Yup that is correct you can only read the ECU after you flash it for the first time.
I'm afraid that buying a new ECU will be my only option 😅 but i'm still hoping that my Yamaha dealership will be able to restore it
