Tune ECU

[Fowlersrs]

Is anyone here using the piece of intelligent software to change they're ECU mapping on there bikes when fitting after market cans?

Reason I ask is I've just bolted on a blue flame tri oval to my triumph speed four and whilst it sounds great it makes it a bit snatchy at low revs, anyone done anything about this on there bikes? Experience a similar problem? I think it's all back pressure related and air/fuel ratios but I'm no pro so any advice would be great!!

Two posts and already this thread is full of fail!

First off, the software is NOT intelligent. If it were, then there would be no capacity to make mistakes. This software can completely screw up your bike and must be used with care.

Secondly, Tuneboy is not the same as TuneECU. Tuneboy is australian, and very very expensive. TuneECU is french, and free.

You cannot easily use TuneECU to tweak map settings unless you know what you are doing. The only real way for the layman (especially one who does not have access to a dyno) to use it is to download pre-made maps from the web. Most are available on the TuneECU site. If there is not a blueflame can map for the Speed four, I'd be wary of choosing a random map and trying it as you have no clue whether it will be right or not. In actual fact, even if there IS a blueflame map listed on the tune ECU site for the same year Speed Four you have, you've got no way of proving that it will work...

By all means try it, but you need to be aware that you can potentially screw the bike up, especially if you don't check that the VIN number range is correct for the map you're using etc...

Good luck!

There are links to sites that have custom maps in that thread somewhere, but as marjay has said, you could royally fuck things up if you do it wrong.

I've got both tuneboy and tune ECU, both are very similar.
Except tuneboy will cost you £300 for the licence key and with the exception of having to buy a 16 pin VAG OBD cable off ebay for £6-£9, tune ECU is free. Also you can only use a tuneboy licence for 1 bike, Ad the licence is tied to the serial number of the bikes ECU, to use it on multiple bikes you have to purchase multiple licences but with tune ECU you can use it on any number of compatible bikes

Tune ECU is probably the best thing that ever happened, as far as Triumphs are concerned anyway!!!!
It is exceptionally easy to use. It is reliable. It is free!!!
Triumph never seem to get their mapping 'right'. Once you get the hang of TuneECU you can see where the noise / emissions restrictions have been mapped in, Triumph have no option but to do this to pass the many tests in place around the world. The mapping in T-ECU frees you from these restrictions.
The ONLY advice I will give is that you download your original map before starting to play.
You would have to do something incredibly silly to 'screw up' your bike, short of dropping a nut into the intake trumpets its pretty much foolproof, (most of the good maps come from the Ausies... Make of that comment what you will).
BTW, put the latest Daytona map into an RS Sprint and feel the difference..........

True enough about trying to mix and match between the ECU types... As I say, you would have to do something 'stupid' to screw up your bike.. (Make of THAT what you will). The web site makes that point quite clear, open and closed loop ECU's are two completely different beasts.

And... If the worst does happen, a replacement ECU off the 'Bay is hardly the end of the financial world.

Triumph dealers charge £25-30 to load a new map for you

Triumph dealer maps come with all the factory restrictions... Go ahead and waste £30, with that you can buy an OBD2 lead off the Bay and have a night out with the change. (Well, you can have a night out in Manchester, not so sure about London).

I used it to disable the exhaust valve on a daytona 675 and update a map for the new can on my latest D675.
Dead easy to use, I'd stick with published maps rather than tweaking your current map. We upped the rev limit on a race bike by 500rpm once, and a couple of laps later the rod came out the front of the block! (Thats bad by the way )
