If you’re from Australia one must install backwards and reversed. I am just kidding. TuneECU was a bit of a headache when they took it off Google Play store. I hear it’s easier now (no more registration hurdles). 1) get a compatible android device. I used a cheap tablet my daughter got for Covid school. 2) download Tune ECU from the Google Play store to the Android device. 3) Go to TuneECU Facebook page or TuneECU.net to get the 10,000’ view of what you’re about to do—this will help to read about all the steps and hardware you need BEFORE you start 4) follow their instructions for downloading the region specific map for your bike (use the free Penner tune but make sure you get the region that corresponds to your bike or use the DNK tune by purchasing from them but make sure you specify not only on order but also via email correspondence with them the REGION of your map). Use TuneECU.net for getting the correct OBD Link tool I used the LX from Amazon for $50 US it worked perfectly first time with the Samsung Galaxy tablet mentioned above via Bluetooth connection 5) load the downloaded map from step 4 into TuneECU and connect OBD Link to bike. Now precisely follow steps as given on TuneECU.net under the “connect” heading. Your tablet will load the tune you downloaded earlier onto the bike. It takes about 12-15m. If you read up about all the steps and write them down so they make sense to you I don’t feel the process is complicated. If you get an error during transfer do not panic. TuneECU will allow you to restore if the transfer is not successful. Make sure that you have followed all the steps. Pull the fuse for your headlights to greatly reduce battery drain. The transfer can fail if voltage to ECU on the bike drops a lot. You should connect a battery CHARGER to your bike battery and make sure it’s all juiced up prior to starting any transfer. I used the Battery Tender and didn’t start until the green light was steady indicating battery was at full float voltage and kept it connected the whole time. Make sure your tablet is fully charged as if it dies in the middle that will cause issues and make you stressed out. Once I had all the steps written out, and was sure I had the correct tools (Android tablet, registered and working TuneECU app, OBDLX, battery CHARGER for bike battery) I was pretty confident in getting the map loaded. After the first time doing it you will see that although intimidating at the outset it’s well worth your time. I went from 140ish to 171 rwhp with the DNK tune and the slip on pipe. I spent about $1,500 and three hours of my time. That’s a real good ROI in the motorcycle world if you ask me. Let me know if you have any more questions happy to help.
