An ECU tune on the Can-Am Maverick x rs or x ds 1000R Turbo is a great way to improve the performance of the 131 horsepower Rotax engine. Improving the vehicles throttle response, pull, and most importantly, horsepower is all part of what an ECU flash can do. ECU Tuning is done by altering the parameters to maximize output while keeping a safe and reliable vehicle. VR Tuned offers the best and most efficient ECU flash over all the competition. Our flashing is done via the diagnostic port as our video below explains. This allows you to flash between your stock and a tuned file. The flashing software gives you the convenience to easily flash your Can-Am and update files if necessary. Our flashing takes roughly 3 minutes compared to the competition device which takes almost 20 mins!
As tested on our Mustang AWD Dyno here in Gilbert, Arizona, the vehicle had a baseline dyno of 102 rear wheel horsepower. We typically see a 25% drivetrain loss with the CVT transmissions which puts us in range of the stock 131 horsepower to the crank. Running 91 octane fuel with an ambient temperature of around 70F, our tuned run had a peak of 113 rear wheel horsepower giving us a 11 rwhp gain. In the low range, we see a gain of 12 rwhp which stays pretty consistent throughout the rpm range. With a 25% drivetrain loss, this puts your Can-Am Maverick 1000R at 150 horsepower! Add an exhaust system and intake and expect to push near 160 horsepower.

What are the benefits of VR Tuned?
#1 priority is our customer service to you!
Our tuning is used worldwide.
FREE reflashes for up to 1 Year if required.
Basic bolt-on performance parts will not require a retune of your ECU. Other efficiency parts such as colder spark plugs, boost tubes, or diverter valves are not required but can help performance. The ECU will adapt to these changes.
We can tune cars worldwide including JDM, EU, Australian, and USA cars for different types of octane or environments.
We do not lock, "pot", or keep control of your ECU. If you decide to take it to another tuner for an upgrade, all flashing ability is retained.
Files are good for most elevations. For anything over 7000 ft above sea level, we recommend a high altitude tune.
How to Flash Your ECU?
Order our OBDII Flash cable to be able to flash between a stock and your tuned file. It also features a Diagnostic tool. See Instructions Here
We can bench flash your ECU. To bench flash the ECU, you must remove it from your vehicle and send it to us. Once we receive the ECU, we will prepare the tune file and then ship it back to you for reinstallation. We do not solder or modify the ECU board at all. All ECU tuning is done via bungy probes that have a needle tip to provide an electrical connection.
Bring your vehicle or ECU to our facility where we can do the ECU Upgrade here.
