Does a software exist for custom mapping that supports all brands? (Or maybe one for the jap bikes and another for ktm/husky). I know each manufacturer sells their own mapping software and/or devices. But I can't find anything that supports multiple manufacturers. I also know you can buy programmable ECUs to replace the stock one. But that is also not what I am looking for.
In the car world for example you have software like HP Tuners and EFI Live that support multiple different car brands and allow custom tuning via using a laptop with the software, and a device that connects the laptop to the cars OBD2 port. Why does it seem that nothing like this exists for dirt bikes or even for motorcycles in general? I've tried a bunch of different google searches, searched youtube, forums, ect. I can find people talking about tuning and I can find pictures of dyno graphs but nothing about the actual programs and interfaces being used to do it. How do performance bike shops dyno tune after engine builds or modifications? Been involved in the car scene for many years and a great tuner is worth his weight in gold. Just wondering why that appears to not be a thing for motorcycles and why it appears no quality aftermarket software exists to tune bikes with? Just wondering if anyone here has some insight on this or knows of any software that supports multiple bike manufacturers.

Maybe an admin can move this to the moto-related section to get more traffic? Would be appreciated.
This gets a bit off topic but as for not enough MX guys wanting their bike mapped, why not? People will spend $1000 on a pretty exhaust for a couple HP but not a couple hundred bucks for similar gain from a dyno tune? This is assuming you can map the stock computer (which is where having a do-it-all software that can plug into the ECU would be great). Once you get into aftermarket ECUs the cost goes up significantly, but again, people will drop $1000 on exhaust and an ECU+custom mapping would still cost less than that.
Not really looking to make a business out of this it's just something I wanted to have and learn for myself. So the market isn't much of a concern at the present moment I just wanted to know if what I'm asking for does exist or not.
I'm looking at the vortex, GET, yoshimura pim 2, remap the standard, or an yoshimura mx tuner.(to many options) as I'm in sweden, summer temp is between 20-30°c, in winter I will put the stock pipe back on, (as the spiked tires normal scratch the muffler), and winter temps can be -10°c. I'm a bit hesitant to remap the stock ecu, as I may need to make changes with such a large temp difference, and the pipe change in winter. Any advice is appreciated, cheers mate.

Everyone says it's easier than changing jets and needles, but I call bull crap. Jetting is simple, and I still have a box of jets that didn't cost me $500
They might require you to buy a Vortex ECU. Not sure if you can reprogram all OEM ECUs.
And to request again that if an admin moved this to the moto-related section which gets more traffic, someone may see it who knows what I'm looking for.
The gen4 autotune system works well for messing about.
You cannot create a map without the tuner software and docking device from techlusion but talk to a tech for that info.
Making a custom map is a bit tricky without a load dyno but you could use a recorder like one from innovate.
Good luck
