A true motorcycle performance enthusiast’s dream come true! In this episode of ‘Stock to Brock’, Brock’s Performance owner, Brock Davidson, dives deep into the theory behind tuning our 2017 GSX-R1000 project bike for maximum performance using a BrockFLASH™ ECU and Dynojet PCV. Brock addresses many questions you have… and many you didn’t know to ask, yet.
As usual, Brock does his best to try and tackle this very complicated subject, while making it as fun and enjoyable as possible for all experience levels.
