How To: Smartphone-Tune Your Honda

SPMX’s Steve Powell explains how Honda owners can dial their bike’s stock ECU with GET’s all-new, user-friendly WiFi-COM2 technology.

A month ago, 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.

In our books, user-friendly tuning tools are always a welcome addition for any dirt bike, so we took our 2016 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 Steve explains in the video above, the high-tech WiFi-COM2 device simply 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. In other words, it lets you quickly and easily fine-tune the power characteristics of the bike’s engine. Too easy!
