Hi braintrust, hoping for some advice on a replacing/re-mapping the stock ECU. The one bike I rode in the past that felt so much better than stock was a 2017 FC250 that only had a Vortex ECU installed but it really made the bike so much more fun and lively to ride.

I want a bit of performance gain from my 2020 CRF250 but don't want to spend big money on an exhaust so have been thinking of doing the ECU. Has anybody either replaced the stock ECU or re-mapped it without any other mods and if so, how effective was either option?

I've yet to confirm if anywhere local to me does ECU re-mapping to get a cost but the Vortex is looking to cost me about £750 and just want to see if anyone tried this on the model to see how it responds before I go any further.

Thanks folks!

Twisted Development, the ecu made a huge difference on my 18.5 fc450... its tame but when you hit it its such a controllable faster bike. From my slow ass guesstimation its helped me be able to ride in 3rd gear around the whole track without shifting lol (Perris & statefair and elsinore)

I know you're asking about the CRF250 specifically, but I put a vortex mapped by Twisted Development on my otherwise bone stock 2021 KX250. Dollar for dollar it is by far the best power mod you can do. You will not regret it.

Twisted did my vortex for my 2020 crf250r. Awesome package.

A friend of ours had Tokyo reflash their stock ECU on an 18 CRF250R. Made a pretty noticeable difference. heard good things about XPR & Twisted also........

I had a 19 Honda 250 with Vortex by XPR motorsports, removed backfire screen and Yoshimura full exhaust. Great feel and power gain.
