Is there a new TuneECU app (with the 9 squares) since I can't find the one in this video. Thank you!

@Snow_Shoe Месяц назад

New Subscriber. Picking up my new 2023 XE Scrambler on June 19. Watching all of your videos and looking forward to getting my bike. You have the best and most informative videos so far! Quick question: If I remove cat and replace with straight pipes that provide proper back pressure will bike have to be retuned? Sorry but also, where is Episode 3 of your three part series? Thank you.

@q-bigwerkstatt2 Год назад

nice video, very well explained. When you get a chance, can you make a video on how to bleed the ABS system, you also need the ECU for that, right? Greetings from Germany 👋

@buddhabob4168 Год назад

Great video yet again lol 🤙 Can this be done if you're bike is euro 5. ? I'd heard that euro 5 ECU doesn't like to be played around with 🤷 Cheers for the videos dude 🤙

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

Really good question and I have no idea because I’ve not messed with the Euro5 ECU. I assume that when they say “Euro 5” it might just be a change of the tune that comes stock, so that it has lower emissions, because Euro 5 is just an emissions standard, BUT I can’t say for sure, might be a good Q for the Scrambler 1200 DNK group on Facebook!?

@Road_Rash1 Год назад

Very nice video, thank you. Wish this video was out before I tried setup and using ECUTune! Finally got it figured out and purchased license. On the mapping, do you have to capture your current map and send that off to be evaluated? Or, do you send your setup with any changes you've made from stock and they send a recommended map. How much better is doing this when compared to letting the bike self adjust after each change?

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

Hey Jeffery! No worries I hope it was helpful. Short answer, no you don’t need to send your current map off (unless they’ve changed it) but I think the baseline map is mostly the same anyway, you just need to email them a list of mods you’ve done and they email a tune back

@FlorianWerner Год назад

Thanks for explaining more about tuning your ECU! Why did you decide to change your mapping? Also, does this change all riding modes?

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

I changed my mapping because I had an issue with the bike stalling and also I have modified my bike, so I wanted the tune to match. I believe it’s changed mostly the sports mode, off-road pro modes but a baseline change across them all because the throttle is much more responsive.

@MrEye4get 4 месяца назад

Great video! How can I adjust parameters if I change my sprockets from 17T/37T to 126T/39T. Euro 5 Triumphs will throw an ERROR if speed, gear, and RPM change slightly more than stock.

@retrodubs90 Год назад

Great video man. I've decided to service my bike myself as its a keeper so this video was useful thanks. I had a signal fault with my IMU and they changed the unit!!. How come you went for a tune? Are you running a decat and filter? If so what kind of gains have you seen?

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

No worries! Hope its helpful! My Triumph dealer said it was fine, and they've been pretty good to me, plus it all seems to be working no worries, so I'll wait and see I guess! I am running slash cut exhaust, with the Cat in, and a DNA filter. I mostly got it because I had stalling issues with the stock tune and also wanted a bit more snappy throttle which the tune solved both issues straight away. Hard to say empiracally what gains I've seen, because I haven't Dynoe'd it but I did notice a lot more power in the sports mode, and also the low down torque was a bit less, but I think that's mostly related to removing the stock mufflers due to a drop in 'backpressure'

@retrodubs90 Год назад

@@lifeofascrambler cheers for the reply, I've been using a Tec exhaust with no issues baffle in. Baffle out and it gets lumpy on idle. Keep up the good content

@angerman666 Год назад

Have the same bike and pipes. Is it a noticeble differce with a new tune? Did the 12 minute tune, and that helped.

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

Yes the throttle is much more responsive and I felt the power actually winds on much harder and faster at certain RPM. Also, its definitely running richer than before, which counteracts the lean stock tune it comes with to pass compliance tests.

@dapiddiboy 3 месяца назад

Does anyone know of an iPhone/iPad app that can delete the error codes? Cheers. Thanks for the video!

@mrguru7738 10 месяцев назад

do i need to change my throttle body ? i have a tiger 660 35kw , if i was the ecu do i need to change the throttle to the full power one?

@timothydowling1453 Год назад

How’s the bike doing since the tune? Still good? I’ve heard some unpleasant things about the customer service at DNK and what they actually do, what’s been your experience? Thanks!

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

Mines been great, I haven’t had any issues at all?!

@adrianwijaya8701 5 месяцев назад

Did you save the stock ecu tune?

@patrickverlinden5929 Год назад

Can you also download your original tune this way? I mean, if you would like to (for whatever reason) switch back to the original tune?

@patrickverlinden5929 Год назад

Been thinking of a DNK tune myself, due to stalling in the low revs while doing some off-road. But worried about new regulations in the future...

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

Great question! You can see your current tune, but I haven’t tried downloading it. I think if you were to ask DNK they would likely have a copy of the original factory tune for you to use if you wanted to restore it at some stage.

@user-nw2hz2wb4g 6 месяцев назад

How do you adjust gear ratios for new sprockets on a Euro 5 Triumph Bobber. The ECU will detect changes and flash a light and error code

@lifeofascrambler 6 месяцев назад

Sorry I have no idea how to do that 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe as a triumph mechanic!?

@angeloa573 Год назад

Hi, do you know about Triumph bluetooth software? Does a tune affect the bluetooth? When the dealer installed my bluetooth they had to redo the software on my Scrambler and I've been nervous to reinstall my DNK tune since.

I’ve got the Bluetooth module and I have the DNK tune, have not had a problem!

Hi, i got a question. Is it possible, to deactivate the limit of maximum speed from 180 kph? I hope this software make it possible. Thanks in advance.

@lifeofascrambler 5 месяцев назад

Great question I don’t know!? I haven’t seen that as an option in Tune ECU, and I don’t know if that’s a restriction on the tuning or something else like injectors etc, I know some countries have restrictions so there are specific things done to bikes in California for example with an additional kill switch (I’ve heard) so this could be similar in terms of some countries restrict, others don’t

@CyberNerd10 Год назад

Seems like you were riding this bike for a while Did you experienced any mechanical or electrical issues since youv had it?

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

Thanks! Yeah the only issue I’ve had was the broken frame (I’ve done a video about it) but the rest has been 👌🏻 I’m actually in the process of putting together another video about all the good and bad things about the bike that I’ve learned over the past 3 years, should be ready soon! 😎

@Watch_Papa 10 месяцев назад

Do you still use 87 octane after the tune or do you now I have to use 91 or 93 octane?

@lifeofascrambler 10 месяцев назад

I’m not sure to be honest because I’ve always used a minimum of 91 octane, but that’s because there’s nothing below that in Australia! I prefer to use 95 though.

@ginoasci2876 10 месяцев назад

you’re showing what you DID, and not what you’re DOING. it would be helpful to show us step by step on what TO DO, including keeping it on charge. if there’s a chance of ruining the ECU, those instructions would be valuable to us.

@lifeofascrambler 10 месяцев назад

I apologise for that, but the battery connection really is as simple as removing those bolts, as described and lifting off the plastic cover and then connecting red to red and black to black. I’ll make sure I simplify it more next time, but please keep in mind I do spend many hours researching, learning, shooting and editing videos giving away this knowledge for free.

@SpaceSnaxxx Год назад

Wow the first 1:45 is just plugging the channel. So glad I’m able to skip ahead to the actual point. But then you mention other videos that explain the mapping better, but you don’t even provide a list of recommended videos. So why do you expect folks to support you making content full time if you can’t provide a basic coverage of what your video title says? To be explicit - you should list the videos that you suggest are out there, or better yet actually do the coverage of the mapping! Otherwise what makes your video channel special? Furthermore, the camera doesn’t focus on the tablet screen so the audience can’t really see anything. And then you just emailed yourself some file you prepped beforehand, which teaches the audience nothing. Just saying that if you want to be getting monetary rewards as a content creator, then you gotta up your content creation. The most useful thing you said was to have one’s battery plugged in during the flash.

@lifeofascrambler Год назад

Thanks for the advice, I do wonder if you could take the time to point me in the direction of some videos or content you’ve personally made that are helpful to people in any way? Maybe one that could help me to learn to be a better content creator? I do take a lot of time to try to watch and learn so I will 💯 watch anything you recommend!
