I had my new to me ‘14 (bought at 9K miles, now over 15K) Voyager Ivanized a few months ago, night and day difference. No intake or exhaust mods, stock less the ECU mod.
It had its faulty, now this big beast is a pleasure to ride. So much smoother on the highway, throttle response is what you would expect while twisting the throttle. No more popping at deceleration, no more flat spots in the throttle response, fan comes on at lower temps than factory. Helps in AZ temps. Besides a vented shorter wind screen, and Ivanized this bike is stock. It’s a keeper.
I’ve been riding a 2010 Nomad for the past 4 years… ECU Ivanized… I’ve ridden Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner 28 in TN 4 times… Talimena Skyway in AR and OK… Natchez Trace in MS… and a lot of places in between… Great bike!
My ECU is on it's way to Ivan as I write this. I put some Vance and Hines slip-ons on and they sound incredible. I was surprised that there was no backfiring or popping even though I hadn't done the flash yet. Maybe that's because I still have the O2 sensor connected. Anyways, thanks for sharing and I am looking so forward to getting my ECU back and riding.
I think u will notice such a difference with the heat.
I'm not to concerned about the heat because I know it's not truly overheating but it will be nice to have the bike running cooler, especially in the summer.
Get the tune on the concourse as well. Thermostat Temperature drops 20 deg and throttle response becomes smoother and linear x10
Good info!
I had mine done last month...In order to get the bike to idle correctly, you must start it up and let it idle until the cooling fan comes on about 3-4 times..then shut it off for hours until the engine gets completely cold....then repeat the idle sequence again until the fan comes on 3-4 times...I found this is the only way to avoid the bike fast idling at about 1400 RPM.
My Voyager now runs much smoother, much cooler, shifts gears smoother, NO decel exhaust popping and throttle response is crisper...I waited until my bike had 49,000 miles on it to have the flash.....I wish I had done it a long time ago...The idle procedure I describe is not in the instructions but when I called about the idle , I was told to do this and it worked perfectly ! If you own a Voyager or Vaquero I highly recommend the Ivans Performance flash.
I didn’t know this before. I am planning to get the Ivan flash, and I really appreciate this 😊
Best money I spent fixed all the issues with backfiring and heat totally different bike 2011 vaquero
Thanks for sharing. I have a 2020 model and I've been thinking of pulling the trigger on this tune. I upgraded the exhaust and it pop's really loud on deceleration due to the air injection system. It does run hot in stop and go and on long trips using the foot pegs, especially on the right side. Overall, I love the bike and what it has to offer, especially for the price point. Glad you are happy. Enjoy the open road!
thnx!
let me know what u think when u get it.
Did you do it? I have a 2011...upgraded pipes, pops on deceleration.
Not yet, It's gonna be a Christmas gift for myself in December
I installed the Ivan's flash on my 2022 Kawasaki vaquero, happy with it, no more backfire. I disconnected the 02 sensor, per the instructions. Now my ABS light will not turn off?? Have you heard of this happening? Thank You
Thank you !, very helpful mate.
Good video, my 2022 has the popping with the new aftermarket exhaust slip on's. I am hoping the Ivan's will alleviate this issue. Thank You
Did it?
Hey, nice video. Did you check fuel consumption after the upgrade?
I did not notice a difference
And how to find this guy ivan?
in the comments below my video. I listed them
So after 5 months, honest brutal impressions now?
The heat management is sp worth it.
@@johnnyg1933ow’s performance? Does it feel stronger with more hp or torque?
Is everything else stock or did you change out the exhaust or intake?
All stock.
How does it feel Under 2000rpm? I had my 2010 done (Ivan’s) and if I don’t use the clutch when I’m slowing down (coming under 2000 rpm the engine braking is so bad the bike is crazy jerky)
I have not noticed that..I will see
It fixes the jerky feel with low rpm/slow speed... more fuel... not running lean after the flash.
Flashed and re-flashed and STILL jerky! I’m thinking of possibly using the flash from Moore Mafia.
Does that effect your warranty?
Yes, cancels it.
Not necessarily, depends on the dealer.
Buy goldwing 🤷♂️
The kawasaki is literally half the price, and for many of us it's a much better riding experience. Goldwimgs are 2 wheel honda accords, good for old people and cross country touring. They are also extremely cramped for bigger riders.
Thumbs DOWN! Really poorly done.
I'm so sorry ackack, how can I make this up to you?
