TuneBoy

[Triple Trouble]

as posted on another R3 forum by Wayne Mcdonald:

"I have been working on the TuneBoy software for the Rocket III and other bikes with the Keihin ECU and thought I would ask for some input from owners.

1. I can remove the power limiting in the first three gears, Should I include this in the software.

2. How bad is the speedo error on this bike?

3. Should I remove the speed limiter

Software should be ready in a couple of weeks. "

and another reply to a question.

"The Rocket also has a different ignition map for 1st and 2nd gears, the secondary butterfly is only part of it (A big part though)."

Have had a good read about how they have gone about tuneboy and it looks real good. The idea of actually talking to the ECU and not sitting on top of it like a virus changing its decisions and then then running the risk of the ECU changing it back appeals to me. They appear to be writing directly to the chip in its own code. Now thats the way to do business with a processor. Any of our more IT savvy captains got an opinion? even a wise old dragon will do. By the way its got an aussie .au site <www.tuneboy.com.au> is that legit or just domain convienience. mikeg

Those are some pretty stupid questions, you've got to wonder

why they would need to ask them.

 

[tmiller]

I think it's called marketing.

I Smell more power in first and second, I want it....

I think it's called marketing.

Of course It's marketing, but it is a major insult to our intelligence

to ask questions that they should already know the answer to.If these

guys know what they are doing, they would look at their competition

and do what needs to be done, not go on a forum to ask silly questions.

That is what makes me wonder.Like everyone else I hope they come

out with a superior product, but from what I've been reading I doubt it.
