brand new R3 stalls out in traffic - YIKES!

12minute tune question...

what happens when you go over the 12minutes?

ie. when i let mine run for 1/2hr, so it went way over 12minutes. grant it, i did NOT start her WITHOUT touching the throttle, so did my 1/2hr run not count as a 12minute tune?

Going over won't hurt...12 minutes is about the minimum time it takes to relearn it's idle conditions. You could skip this step and it would learn while you ride, but it might stumble and stall and so forth for a while.


AND

tomorrow i am taking it to the dealer, should i do a 12min tune before leaving the house and riding 135miles?

No, let them do everything.

OR

just ride it like it is, so they can see the "full spectrum" of the problem?

OR

it won't matter to the dealer's mech either way, whatever he is going to do won't read the bikes current set up anyways. what he will do will wipe out anything that the computer has "learned" from a 12min tune?

thanks for your thoughts on this!

oh, and, after a "correctly executed" 12min tune, am i supposed to shut it down then restart it and ride?

OR

just hop on her and go?

thanks again

Once the dealer does the ISCV reset, he will, or should reset adaptations (wipe it) and do the 12 minute tune. When you do your own 12 minute tunes...just hop on and go afterward. You could shut it down while you gather up your riding gear if it makes you feel better. In any case, if you are doing a 12 minute tune, you've had the seat off so you can access the OBD2 port, so you'll be taking a minute to button that up.
 
ahhhh,

i guess i missed out on all the things to do for a 12min tune?

i thought it was just start her up, wait for the fan to come on then wait 12min

what's this about OBD2 port?

OR

maybe the better question is, where can i find the "official" steps to do in a 12min tune
 
The OBD2 port is used to connect a laptop to the bike to run TuneECU software to check stuff, like the Primary TPS voltage.

If you are just doing the 12 minutes tune, you don't do anything but this:
Start the bike from cold without touching the throttle and let it idle.
Wait for the fan to come on and count 12 minutes.
Turn the bike off.

It doesn't matter how many time the fan cycles on and off during the 12 minutes, just wait 12 minutes after the fan first comes on and don't touch the throttle during the procedure.
 
rode the 135miles to the dealer today, beautiful ride!

they were expecting me and had everything set up and ready to go. unfortunately they wanted the bike to be at room temp before they did their magic, even with two fans blowing on it that took over an hour for her to cool, they do get hot!

anyways, another hour or two of going over the ENTIRE bike from tip to stern checking out EVERYTHING and they taking her on a test ride, no charge of course, and she was ready to ride home. of course while i'm there it was easy to drop a couple hundred more $ on a new leather winter riding jacket and a battery tender, plus make plans for some other parts i want to get for my Bobber, then

another 135 mile ride back but it too was a beautiful ride

all in all, not a bad day, then again, anyday riding can't be too bad :)
 
It may not be officially OBD2 but I've a generic OBD2 reader that can read it and reveal codes. Of course it can't change anything. So TuneECU is standing by always for that.
 
It is NOT OBD2 - Looks like it but it's just the connector.


in the us after 1996 it was mandatory to have a universal connector so they made the obd2 (onboard dianostic connector 2) before that it was whatever they wanted it to look like. i have a box with about 50 different connectors.
just curious was or is it different in spain?

Think you will find that still does NOT apply to bikes. iirc Harleys have a different plug. New Guzzis I know do.

J1962 Plug Standardised on Cars yes - but not this does not mean OBD2 protocol. OBD1 continued well into this century.
There was (maybe still is) a move to make bikes follow the same practice - but quite a few started a lobby. Dealers were not happy - guess why!.

OBD2 is a standard to replace several that were in place - The RIII has iirc a VAG protocol which most readers can tap in to.
I have some generic stuff too but really not a lot of info is available. Just look at the "app" called Torque and see what real OBD2 would give you.
 
how did we this thread get from stalling out at RPMs under 1000 to OBDs VAG, ISCV ?

some guy down the road is going to want to read about why his R3 is stalling out and likely won't give a ____ about the sideways topic some led this road to

how about you all start another thread where guys who are interested in that stuff can find your insightful information
