In short (TL;DR)
- What it is: adapting the quad or motorcycle engine control unit (ECU) software for more power.
- What we do: the software work only. We do not do mechanical work (engine, exhaust, clutch).
- Price: from €100 to €200, depending on the model and ECU.
- For what: quads and motorcycles with a programmable ECU. Not every model is supported – we check before the work.
- Limits: the transmission, clutch, brakes and engine cooling must withstand the higher load.
- Legal position: a power increase may not match the type approval or the registration conditions of certain vehicle categories. Discuss this with us before ordering.
Quad and motorcycle power increase means adapting the engine control software at ECU level. Fuel delivery, ignition and other parameters are changed so that the engine makes better use of its potential.
Who it suits
- Quads and motorcycles with a programmable engine control unit.
- The engine and transmission must be in good condition – software does not remove mechanical defects.
- If you have changed the exhaust or air intake, tell us in advance – the software has to be adapted to the real hardware.
What to know before ordering
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is the ECU supported? | Not every model has a reprogrammable ECU. We check this before the work and, if it is not supported, we do not start. |
| Has the hardware been changed? | An exhaust, air filter or other hardware changes the engine’s needs, so the software is created for the real configuration. |
| Transmission and brakes | More power loads the clutch, chain or belt and the brakes more. |
| Registration and category | Some vehicle categories have power or speed limits set by law. A power increase may exceed them. |
| Warranty | If the vehicle is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, a software change may affect the warranty obligations. |
What we do not promise
We do not promise a specific power or torque gain in advance: it depends on the model, the hardware and the ambient conditions. We do not promise lower fuel consumption either. Before the work we tell you what result can reasonably be expected from your engine. If you want to remove the factory speed limiter, that is a separate service: quad and motorcycle speed limiter deprogramming.
Price
Quad and motorcycle power increase costs from €100 to €200, depending on the model and ECU. We give the exact price after checking the model and ECU.
Frequently asked questions
Does it suit my quad or motorcycle?
It depends on the model and the ECU type. Before the work we check whether the software can be read and changed. If the model is not supported, we do not start.
How much power will you add?
We do not promise a specific number – it depends on the engine and the hardware. Before the work we tell you what gain can reasonably be expected.
Can the factory software be restored?
Yes. Before the work we save the original ECU software.
Will the engine overheat?
We create the software within safe fuel and ignition limits, but if the cooling or the engine is not in good order, the higher load can increase the risk. We check this before the work.
Is it legal?
The legal position depends on the vehicle category and registration. A power increase may not match the type approval. Discuss it with us before ordering and, if needed, with your insurer.
Will this affect my warranty?
If the vehicle is still under the manufacturer’s warranty, a software change may affect the warranty obligations. We discuss this before the work.
