Aprilia Caponord connection to Tune ECU for a quick check of tps and fuel trims 

Yes I have already done the ECU tune thing on my bike well worth it . You will need tune ECU.exe ,a cable to connect and a pc I found running an older operating system was better windows 10 for example . The program is free it's all online and so are the maps catfish , swordfish etc .

What's max ECU?. I've never had a problem with tune ECU

@@captbarb6642 MaxxECU is aftermarket ECU, which I already have put into another bike. Installing it to Caponord is pretty simple since it is already EFI bike so all the necessary components are there, and also fuel and ignition maps are available on internet so it would be piece of cake to install, especially when compared to EFI conversion from carburetor. Of course it isn't very cheap but which hobby is? :D

@@sippilandia sounds great but I've not had a problem with the old efi system . The only problem I had was getting the pc you had tune ECU to run slow enough to talk.

@@captbarb6642 Yeah, it's not like I would really need it either, but it would just be fun to do.

@@sippilandia nice to keep our brains active .

I don't believe it programs keys just ECU it programs. You could try contacting aprilia with your chassis number that might help you.

@@captbarb6642 aprilla serwis said its not pościele only bought new tacho and ECU Computerworld. Its for me abstracions and waist money

Thanks for that after doing the valve clearances this winter I took the opportunity to run another earth for the starter motor fixing bolts to the engine and then to the battery , I haven't run a power lead but checked the connection and cleaned . As far as the map I'm happy with the swordfish map which seems fine ,maybe after clearances being adjusted things might be different. Unfortunately the dash has not powered up and found one of the capicators is faulty.

Are just played it , that slight slow turn over on starter motor is that what your referring to. Could be the battery , did you know the bike won't start until the ECU sees the front cylinder at tdc so sometimes they turn over before firing , well that's how the RSV ECU work which is different but I wonder if they are the same .

@@captbarb6642 upgraging the startercable is beneficial too. Same I recommended to Mario, as well as the additional grounding to the starter motor. He made it also.

@@ETV-xt1kq yes he did starts like a Japanese bike now he did change his starter motor also.

@@captbarb6642 exactly. As he sent me the video about starting, I was pointing out the squeaking fpr. Now as he changed, that is perfect too.

Hi I purchased mine from lonetec and it's been fantastic. Your bike I think will have an O2 sensor I tried the catfish maps they are good . I installed a swordfish map on mine and it will dribble along in top gear at 2000rpm which is a big improvement from the OEM map good luck . Remember to upload /save your old map before downloading new just in case you need it . My mpg now two up and loaded at 75 mph is 54mpg . Good luck .

@@captbarb6642 Thank you very much for your response :) All I need is a better response at low rpm.

@@edvinas941 I found the maps all of them didn't give more power just much better running especially low end .

@@captbarb6642 i am ordering vag kkl cable, i hope its gonna work, lonetec is kind of too expensive for me. By this time are you running catfish or swordfish map ( or any other)?

​@@edvinas941 better to choose the Swordfish map if you want to have low rpm smoothness.

That's right it's a UK bike 2003 no sensor or cats fitted on this age of capo

@@captbarb6642 Thanks for the explanation 👍my 2003 European version has an oxygen sensor.

Are that's interesting where in Europe are you .

@@captbarb6642 Czech Republic and a motorcycle imported directly from Italy.

@@motomike83 Nice are they very popular In the Czech Republic. There not very popular in the UK quite a cheap bike to buy very underated .
