GET Takes Mapping To A New Level

GET is the electronic arm of Italian company, Athena, and for several years now, GET’s ECUs (and associated technology) have been used by more professional race teams around the world than any other aftermarket brand. In Europe, America and now Australia, race teams using both Japanese and European machinery are using these performance-enhancing products to title-winning effect. And if you own a new-generation Honda (2015 model onwards), there are now even more reasons to get your hands on GET’s new technology. How so?

Well, in addition to the fact that Honda has now chosen to use GET’s new WiFi-COM2 technology to manage the electronic systems in its motocross bikes (which essentially, makes it quick and easy for owners to modify their Honda’s stock ECU mapping using a smartphone or tablet), GET has released its Honda-specific, super-advanced LC GPA (Launch Control GET Power Assist) device. As explained by SPMX’s Steve Powell in the video below, this groundbreaking new technology offers Honda owners a whole new world of traction control tunability, plus the ability to convert your GPA unit into a LED tacho display to help you get out of the gates consistently fast.

Thanks to the guys from the Australian distributors for GET, Bikes & Bits Importers, we got the opportunity to fit GET’s new RX1 Evo ECU (with bar-mounted map switch) and the LC GPA unit to Transmoto’s 2016 CRF250R project bike. So stay tuned in the coming months for our feedback on the performance gains it generates, and the tunability and diagnostic options it opens up.

MORE ABOUT GET…

• Two years ago, when GET stepped up its presence in Australia, we decided to investigate the Italian company’s cutting-edge ECUs and associated technology – on paper, on the dyno and on the track – and produced a series of three videos that captures our experience with the GET products. To help launch the product in Oz, we collaborated with GET to also produce a dedicated Transmoto “Dirt Journal” – a digital flipbook to explain the products, our feedback about them, and a list of GET’s Advanced Tuning Centres in Australia.

• A few months back, we first showcased GET’s new WiFi-COM2 technology that Honda has now chosen to manage the electronic systems in its motocross bikes (from model-year 2015 onwards). In short, the GET WiFi-COM2 (when combined with the free WiGET App) makes it quick and easy for owners to modify their Honda’s stock ECU mapping using a smartphone or tablet. Prior to this new device, it was only possible to use GET’s technology to modify a GET aftermarket ECU.

• More recently, we took our 2016 Honda CRF250R project bike to Steve Powell – owner of Melbourne-based performance specialist, SPMX – to take us through the process of using GET’s WiFi-COM2 to modify the bike’s mapping. As Powell explains in the video below, the high-tech WiFi-COM2 device plugs straight into the bike’s fuel pump connector, which then allows you to modify the stock ECU’s fuel and ignition parameters within safe ranges via your smartphone.
