Racing Electronic Kits Available for 2017 Yamaha YZF-R6 from FT ECU Inc.

For the passed two years, motorcycles equipped with FT ECU's software won a multitude of MotoAmerica races like the Superstock 1000, Supersport, and Superstock 600 championships. And those riding the 2017 Yamaha YZF-R6 can now strive for that same success by equipping the powerhouse with the Racing Electronics Kits from FT ECU.

Owner of FT ECU Inc., Chris Gardell, stated that "Yamaha Motor Engineering Co., Ltd. (YEC) doesn't offer a Racing Kit ECU for the 2017 Yamaha R6, but the good news is that we designed, developed, and are offering our own proprietary Racing Electronics Kits specifically for this year's brand-new R6, and they are approved for use in the MotoAmerica series, as well as motorcycle road racing championships in countries throughout the world. Developed in partnership with Graves Racing Services, the FT ECU Racing Electronics Kits for the 2017 Yamaha R6 feature the most advanced rider and crew aids available anywhere in the world for 600cc sportbikes."

Availability of the Racing Electronic Kits is limited and will be available for delivery late March. The prepaid, non-refundable, pre-ordered 2017 R6 Racing Electronics Kits will be available from FT ECU, Graves Racing Services, or any participating FT ECU reseller.
