TuneEcu for Dummies // Become a Triumph MASTER // 12 Minute Tune 

You're not wrong. I dialed in the audio without headphones this time. Sounded almost too quiet in editing, but way too loud on RU-vid. I could release another one without music, but im afraid its too late

@@NicePantsLance Quiet is best 🙂When I want to listen to music I try to not hear someone speak.

I actually did make a new video with no audio!

@@NicePantsLance I know, I just discovered it. Thanks 🙂

Thanks for watching my vids Devon! I'm stoked that I've been able to help someone 🤘 ride safe bro! If you are interested in tuning your bike (if you aren't remapped already) i can help out with a tune that i made. Email me @ flxtriumphenthusiasts@gmail.com if you're interested

@@NicePantsLance I appreciate that! I think the exhaust option i'm going to be going for is a little different (Blacked out Remus) but the tune that you did might come pretty close! I'll give you a shout come the time. Gonna be changing a lot on this bike over the winter. Thank you!

Thanks Rich ride safe out there 👍 hope you're enjoying the speed twin!

I'm jealous! I wanna test ride that new 900 so bad lol heard great things about that motor. Ive got my Speed Twin remapped, but I haven't had the opportunity to run it on the dyno. Thanks for watching!

@@NicePantsLance we are couppe of guys doing same thing to a gt pro and rally pro. Triumph engineers told to a sales guy in spain that its in one of my rider groups that the 900cc engine could handle 125hp so ... We expect to reach 115ho with the remap and we are looking for a dyno test. We will make a video maybe. Stay safe mate!✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾

Can't wait to see the video! That's a ton of power for a bike like that. Nice channel by the way. You've got a sub from me 👍 youre close to 1000!

@@NicePantsLance HAhahah can't wait to download the map bud!! Its ready on my phone but the weather and lockdown is messing with the riding the bike thing.... Yeah I'm really close to 1000!! Im pretty impressed. I open the channel 6 months ago. Looks like the people like the roads I ride, and of course, they all want to hear from the Tiger 900! I hope to make a great video about the tune ecu! Thanks for your subscribing! Im subscribing to yours too!!! Cheers

Thanks for watching!

Good luck!! Let me know if you run into trouble

Glad it was helpful!

I had a 2018 Rocket 3 Roadster! Check the r3owners.net forums. Make a profile, and you'll get access to their page of free tunes. I think I used one made by Hans0. Pulled wheelies in 2nd gear lol I miss that bike! Hit a deer @55mph late one night. Thanks for watching! Ride safe 🤘

Does any year Roadster work with the Link LX? I have a 2010.

It should!

Glad I can help! Thanks for watching 🤘

@@NicePantsLance thanks to your video, just flashed my rocket 3 tfc. Your video made it real easy

I used to own a Rocket 3 Roadster myself! Good luck with tuning and thanks for watching 🤘

Thanks for watching 👍

The reprogram option only appears when youre connected to the bike and have a map loaded

That would be awesome! Love Aprilias but never ridden one. Thanks for watching 🤘

​@@NicePantsLancehey so I have a question ❓ I finally figured this out but having uploaded a map from them yet cause I was hesitant. Is the Aprilia map they have to upload actually the race map? Or is it just the same map?

If you're talking about on the TuneEcu website, its most likely the stock tune that one could use to return bike to factory. It will say if its a race tune, and more than likely you'll have to get a race tune from somewhere else

@@NicePantsLance Your right it was the stock tune buuuut they also had the Ackrapovic race tune. I figured it out! Thank you for the videos dude they honestly gave me the confidence to actually attempt it! No my dash displays the aRacing logo but I'm still slow 😂

Thank you!! 👍 I actually learned how to use TuneEcu when i had my 2018 Rocket 3 Roadster. I had a map made by Hans0 that turned my bike into a monster. Reach out to me in the FLX Triumph Enthusiasts page on Facebook or email me if you have any questions. Also, there's a link in the description for this video with the music turned down so you can hear better 👍 Don't forget to like and subscribe 😁🤘

Yes, some newer models prevent you from downloading the stock map, but many of them allow you to "read" it from the bike and save the file. However, if it's a stock map file you're looking for, you can find all of them on the TuneEcu website for free! Hope this helps

@@NicePantsLance firstly, thanks for the video. Extremely helpful. I don't know if you know, but I have a 2022 Euro 5 t120, and I'm wondering if the two ECU app has the ability to back up my factory map. I am planning on picking up a tune from DNK, but I would like to back up my factory map first, so I can revert it if I need to later. You also mentioned that tune ECU has ability to download factory maps. Their site is pretty cryptic, can you tell me where on their site they have factory tunes listed?

Sorry i no longer have the Speed Twin. I hope you're enjoying your bike!

Unfortunately getting rid of decel pop would require specific fine-tuning to your bike. You could do it at home, but it would require fuel adding or subtracting at specific rpms and alot of street testing. The "12 minute tune" might help, but it'll only be temporary. If you've altered a fuel-map before, it wouldn't be too hard, but it'll be a process. If I were you, I'd look into a PC5 autotuner, to keep the bike at a perfect AFR and stop the exhaust popping. I wish I could help more!

I use it to charge my phone and/or gopro camera! I wanted a cord long enough to reach my phone mount. Thank you for watching 🤘

Yes you can absolutely bleed the ABS with TuneEcu! 🤘 One word of caution is don't use the "reset adaptations" function. Do the 12 minute tune instead. TuneEcu changed a lot since i made this video!

Yes i do!

Did you ever get to remap your trident?

@@NicePantsLance I sure did bro. Thank you for the video it helped alot, im in Australia so de restricted to full power modle, world of difference. 😁👊

Hell yeah 🤘 bet it feels like a new bike! Wish I had my own trident. Ride safe out there

Programming the Ecu is the same as remapping your bike. You have to load a tune (hex file) and then remap your bike using the 'reprogram ecu' selection

Thanks, I saw your comment as the video started. Saved me the bother of watching it 😂

Interesting issue. Might want to join the TuneEcu group on facebook and ask!

I recommend LX because thats the one i personally use and have had success with. You may be able to use cheaper adapters, but enter at your own risk! Ive always believe good products arent cheap, and cheap products arent good!

its perfectly fine. Your bike adapts as it rides anyways so you're good! The "12 minute tune" would likely accomplish the same thing as going for a long ride. Cheers!

Here's the procedure for resetting the cruise control Key in ignition and bike on (engine Not running) Activate front brake switch Rear brake switch Clutch switch Twist grip switch (push the throttle in the closed position all the way forward) Activate cruise on/off switch As far as remapping goes, you'll have to look through some online triumph forums or Facebook to see what people use for a tune. DNK Tuning sells tunes but they are expensive. Hopefully you can find one for free

You're safe to wait before cranking it up! Thanks for watching 🤘

I'm not sure about the A2 triple 660, but im sure someone in the Facebook groups or on the forums would know. Thats all you need! TuneEcu app and obdLink LX 👍 happy tuning!

@@NicePantsLance 👍😎🙏

What engine rpm does it stutter at? Also, how many miles on the bike? Might wanna check for a kinked fuel line or a blocked breather tube. If that looks alright, it may just need the 12 Minute Tune (resetting adaptations). If it still stutters, you may need spark plugs or coilpacks. If all else fails, I'd say you definitely need a Remap. One of these should fix the issue 👍 good luck

Are you connected to the bike? The drop down will not give you the option to reprogram ECU unless you are currently connected to the bike and have a map opened. What do you mean "nothing happens". Does it tell you that theres no file found? I had to move my tune file to a very specific folder so the program could find it. Specifically: "internal storage--->TuneEcu" I believe the latest version of TuneEcu asks you which folder you prefer to use for tunes. It HAS to be that specific folder or the program wont recognize it. Also the tune file cant be a copy, it has to be the original file. If it has a "(1)" in the file name, its a copy and not the real thing.

You can either find tunes on the TuneEcu website, or find one in the forums for your specific bike

@@NicePantsLance Ok i have a Thruxton r. Don't know if the previous owner had done any changes to the map. Its a full flow exhaust and shorty cones on it. Don know about the air filter. And i ride without baffels/dbk.

There's definitely a tune out there for you. Lots of people have the same mods on their thruxtons 👍 ride safe!

It should appear once you connect to the bike and have a tune file opened

Thats absolutely correct! The one thing to keep in mind is many of the brand new triumphs dont actually allow you to save the current map. For my Speed Twin I had to get my stock tune file off the TuneEcu list. My Rocket 3 did allow me to save though! Thank you for watching 😁

Yes! That is because your bike must be on during the remapping process, and it takes alot of juice to do so! If you leave your fuse in, the light will stay on during remap, and will drain the battery. If your bike dies during the remapping process, your ecu will need to be recovered and there is a slight chance you could mess up the ecu in the process. To be safe, remove headlight fuse and keep bike hooked up to a charger the entire time 👍 there's a few articles you can find online that will further assist you.

@@NicePantsLance If you've got an LED headlight a decent charger will deal with the load.

@@LondonSteveLee Why not just take out that fuse. It takes 3 seconds 🙂

You're not wrong. I have personally remapped my bike with the headlight fuse still in...however, the voltage readout from my battery tender dropped right to the lower limit the entire time. It didnt die on me, but it was on the edge the entire time and i was shittin bricks. Better to be safe than sorry and just take out the fuse. It take 20 seconds

Yes I did! Hopefully this summer ill run it on the dyno. Thank you for watching ✌

@@NicePantsLance , That stuff didn't make any sense until now. My T100 has carbs . I'm getting a Speed Twin hopefully this summer after a little back surgery. I can't ride right now , but I'll be back.

You'll love the Speed Twin! Good luck with everything 👍

Some bikes allow you to save the tune that's on your bike, others don't. If not, you can find the stock map for your bike on the tuneecu website!

At this moment, I don't think you are allowed to download a map off of the ecu. However, on the TuneEcu site there should be a stock Tune for your bike ready to download. Hope this helps 👍

I'm not sure exactly. It would be best to send her an email, since I've never pulled out the ECU before. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

What bike? Usually under the seat. On my Street Twin it is described in the owners manual since you have to remove the ECU to get the battery out.

Sometimes they have maps on the TuneEcu website, but its always best to get a map from somewhere else

Not sure if it does. Most modern Triumph's measure speed from the abs sensor ring on the front wheel. Ive never needed to make an adjustment, because a sprocket change wouldn't have any effect on speedometer readout

Understood! Adjusting the speedometer isn't a big issue. Changing the sprocket sizes (on newer EURO 5 models) display "Code P0915 - gear shift circuit range/performance". Additional information indicates "vehicle speed doesn't match gear." This is due to gear position, rpm and wheel speed being constantly monitored by the ECU. It seems the new Euro 5 ECU maps engine RPM against road speed for a given gear.@@NicePantsLance

You may need to update your registration. If you search around the site, you should find a guide on how to do that

It depends on your make and model. Older bikes require the cable. The TuneEcu website has a compatibility list so you know if you need bluetooth or cable!

yes im pretty sure

Yes it should

I think theres instructions on the tuneecu website. Im not quite sure myself. I made this video before registration was required

You have to get a map file for your bike and load it manually

Yes possibly!! Depends on how heavy your throttle hand is

I don't think so unfortunately

TuneEcu made alot of changes after this video came out. I'm pretty sure it'll ask if you'd like to register the bike once you try to connect to the ecu

The headlight fuse 👍

Take this information as you will, but i knew the owner of DNK Tuning (Danielle) before she started that company. She used to be a frequent member on the facebook Speed Twin 1200 groups, and other triumph groups. She had made a new tune, and shared it with everyone for free! It wasnt a real dyno tune, it was just some altered fuel-tables... but it was better than stock. She got in 1 argument with a random group member, and decided to punish everyone by removing her free tunes and charging people hundreds of dollars for them even though they werent real tunes made on a dyno. Multiple friends of mine ended up paying her money for a tune, and ended up having issues with the tune. There were "flat spots" in the tuning and when Danielle was contacted about it, she was very paranoid and blamed it on the customer. This customer actually took her tune to another tuner, and they had to make many corrections to fix the DNK Tune. It was way off, and not worth the money. This person left a review about her tune on some of the facebook groups, and she threatened legal action on him. She gets in arguments with customers, and will block your email or your social media if she feels insulted by you. If you make bad remarks about her tunes, she threatens to sue. Ive seen her facebook comments blaming her declining sales on the negative reviews of customers. I've heard other stories of people needing her to make revisions on the tunes they buy, and if the customer doesnt like the 2nd or 3rd revision of the tune, she stops responding to emails. I've even seen her rant on facebook, saying that people are just bullying her because she had cancer 🤷‍♂️ This was years ago. As of now, she has removed her personal life from all social media because she finally realized it was impacting her business Ultimately, she charges way too much money for a tune that isn't properly optimized for your bike. Her customer service is extremely poor. If you want my advice on tuning, find a local dyno tuner and pay to have your bike run on a dyno with a custom tune 👍

@@NicePantsLance Thank you for the reply, I appreciate that context, it's a big help in deciding how to proceed 🙏

I think mostly Android phones. Check the TuneEcu website for compatibility

I use an Android tablet. The bigger screen is helpful, but it needs to have 3 GB RAM or more.

The motorcycle must have the key on during the ECU reflashing process, which would keep the headlight on and drain the battery. ECU reflashing takes alot of battery power, so its advised to remove the headlight fuse and plug in a battery tender to keep enough power in the battery. If the battery dies during the reflashing process, it can damage the ECU and a ECU recovery will need to be performed. Not all ECU recoveries are successful

Yes it should!

Hmm im not sure why. Might want to look through some TuneEcu forums or ask the TuneEcu group on Facebook

Mo, I’m having the same problem too. Did you find a fix?

@@bcolter1 yes I believe it’s because it wasn’t registered. Also make sure you are on latest version

@@moabushahba4687 Ok. Dang. I’ve registered and have the latest updated app and still not working. Who were you able to reach out to for your answer?

@@bcolter1 check the Tuneecu forums that’s where I opened the thread about this

I think so, but im not 100% certain

I guess it depends on which bike you own. My Speed Twin does have a USB charger under the seat 👍 also has a port for a battery tender

@@NicePantsLance Thanks for that Lance

TuneECU does have a bleed brake option for Triumphs - don't know about other bike/ECU combinations.

i think it depends on the make and model. I would check the forums just to make sure

The owner has taken it off of Google Play for a number of reasons. Go to the official TuneEcu website and there should be a download link to get the app! Hope this helps 👍

TuneEcu will allow you to flash the ECU with a map, but getting the map for your bike is up to you. It really depends on what bike you have. Some maps can be downloaded for free, but sometimes you might have to pay someone for a good map. Id start by asking around in the facebook groups and online forums

TuneEcu has changed quite a bit since I released this video. If you go to the TuneEcu website, you'll find a guide on how to pay and register. As for how to connect, you just need to search up what kind of ECU your motorcycle has. Things may have changed, im not sure

@@NicePantsLance thanks for the video

Thanks for watching 🤘

Yes I believe so.

@@NicePantsLance perfect thanks for the information 💪💪👍👍🔥🔥

Unfortunately it must be downloaded right from the TuneEcu website!

Unfortunately im not quite sure. I downloaded my app when it was still in the playstore. Sorry i cant provide any help!

@@NicePantsLance It's okay I've sorted it out, you can pay via the PayPal app using the TuneEcu email address.

Good to know!!

When using an Android device you should have a Google account and a Gmail adress for the TuneECU licence account.

Yes you need to buy TuneEcu Pro version to gain that feature 👍

@@NicePantsLance basic wont do it?

I don't believe so. I know back in the day you could eliminate the speed limiter through the map itself. I keep hearing the Pro version gives you that option. TuneEcu has changed quite a bit in the last year or so

@@NicePantsLance thanx, bcz i remaped it already and the limiter still is on...

I'm not 100% certain of this, but I'm almost positive if you have Pro unlocked, you can open up your map and select "Parameters". In that menu you should be able to adjust speed limit

Test and adjustments will only be available if you're connected to the ECU

What bike are you connecting to? You should be able to register the one you have as long as the ECU isn't locked

Hi I have the same problem with my 2007 sprint 1050 st It shows unregistered next to the tuneECU logo. And also the test and adjustment isn’t highlighted So I can’t access that feature. it’s a bit of a headache Because there ain’t much support from tuneECU.net

@@Scouseblagger mine is a 2006 sprint. I emailed support and they said if the app is unregistered then you can’t register the bike. Never told me why it’s not registered. I downloaded it off the google store. Never saw a registration. I’m puzzled. Still seeing if I can figure it out. I’ll post again if I find a solution.

Hi Derek That’s where I downloaded It from and I never saw a Registration either. What OBD2 Bluetooth adapter are you using? The one I have is from Lonelec it is the blue scan 2 witch is meant to be compatible. Also I have four error code that have come up your meant to be able to erase them but you can’t even do that. I will keep looking for solutions as well If I find anything I will let you know Cheers Jimmy

@@Scouseblagger contact the developer, there is a fault with the current release.

No it doesn't unfortunately. However, if you use OBDLINK LX with the app and software that it came with, I believe it allows you to check and clear codes on your car

Can you share the link you found? I've never seen anything about bricking the ECU. Should be just fine as long as you follow the steps exactly

It depends on year and model. I could save the tune from my triumphs, but i hear the 2022+ models are locked. Not sure if you can save the original map on the latest bikes, but luckily there's an OEM tune list on the TuneEcu website. If you lose the original tune, you should be able to find it there

@@NicePantsLance the difference is that my bike is A2 restricted . Needed the A2 restricted map saved somewhere

Did you check the list? There are many a2 compliant oem tunes on the website

@@NicePantsLance didn’t yet, will check it . Thanks

@@NicePantsLance The A2 map is locked, cant download it

Yes it does! There are some good maps for your bike 🤘

@@NicePantsLance Sounds good, will be getting one soon and thanks

Congratulations! Ride safe

Rochester NY!

@@NicePantsLance nice! 😄

Purchase is a last resort. There's dozens of free tunes on the TuneEcu website, and there's tons of members who actively share their hex files on the Facebook groups and forums specific to your bike. I've been using tuneecu for years with multiple bikes and have never paid a dime for a tune

You're 100% right. I've been doing some reading on tuneecu lately and things aren't the way I'm used to. The bike adjusts so quickly that you're better off taking for a spin anyways. I wish I could edit this video, but I'd have to re-upload a new one. Thanks for watching

@@NicePantsLance Yeah, I have 4 Triumphs in the garage and have owned many others... Been using TuneECU for a long time. The 2020 Street RS is the first one to give me problems getting dialed in... Took 3 sessions on the dyno and eventually had to install a Power Commander to get everything sorted. TuneECU was only able to get me 90%, and the area around idle, wouldn't update no matter how much fuel we dumped in there... Had to use the Power Commander to fix that area... Installing an Akra slipon and removing the cat, had that idle area running so lean that the bike would stall when I pulled up to a stop sign... It was really bad. Never had a bike behave like that, but this Euro5 crap really threw a monkey wrench into the works...

Yeah its a pain. Now that TuneEcu has updated so much, alot of things in this video arent as relevant anymore 🤦‍♂️

I work for a living and also play guitar 😂 my hands aren't glamor accessories but thank you anyways lol I needed a good laugh today ❤

TuneEcu is no longer supported on desktop, so the Android app and Bluetooth connector is one of the best options now! Thanks for watching 🤘 cheers

There is a version of this video with fixed audio 👍

There's a link in the description, and also in the comments for a version of the video with no audio. Not sure how you didnt see it

@@NicePantsLance so sorry, i didn't see it, and i didn't know it could be done, i have trouble hearing properly if there is background noise .

No worries mate, sorry for the poor video. I felt bad about it so thats why i re-uploaded a better video. Hope it helps! Cheers

😂

There's a link to the same video without music linked in the description and pinned in the comments

Yeah, that one is 100% my mistake. If it helps, I posted a link to this same exact video except with the audio fixed

There's a link in the description for a fixed version with no music. Check the pinned comment i left as well. Hope that version is better
