TuneECU, ECU on Roadster is not responding anymore

[Leif Almberg]

Regarding copying I4 into I3 and I2 (I1 is for neutral - don't change that). I don't understand why so many people think the bike will work better by advancing the timing in limited parts of the operating range in gears 1-3. Tables I2-I4 are all the same in tune 20226, which is for TORs/cat bypass. I4 is difference from I2 and I3 in 20222, which is for the stock exhaust. Advancing the timing in the lower gears may work better in some cases but this isn't axiomatic. Wayne MacDonald (Tuneboy) put out a tune for TORs/cat bypass/triple Unifilters which is called "20050DynoFinalMap_WithPods_And_IgnRetard.dat". See the point?

But Dougl, correct me if I'm wrong but the GIPro mimics this by simulating 4th gear all the time, right?
copying I4 to I3 and I2 (sorry for mentioning I1) would give the same result as installating a GIPro.

several of my friends have a GIPro and they just love the difference in the lower gears!

open secs 100% and using I4 all the time, if that is the same things as a GIpro then why not, if wanting to have the sime appearance as my friends, or does GIpro do something else?

If it does little, I certainly won't worry about it. I'm running the stock tune, though, with the only modification being for the secondaries. Assuming I can get the upload running.
TuneECU is claiming my save of the factory settings is invalid. It also claims the 20352 map (from Tom's Windows live site) is invalid and refuses to open either one.

do you really have the latest version of TuneECU running? Roadster tunes could not be read by earlier versions.

 

[jaredmt]

Yes ... 1.6.5 is what I'm running

the attached file in this post is a 20352 that my Tuneecu can open.
working?

Right - it would fool the ECU into using I4 (for 4th and 5th gears) in 1st-3rd gear as well.

More power to them

I just don't see the rationale. If you want it advanced in 4th gear at particular TP's and RPM's, why would you want it advanced in the same spots in lower gears where the load is different in those spots?

I'll try it on my bike and see if it REALLY makes a difference.

Leif: TuneECU did load that file w/o complaining.
Recovery still isn't working. I wonder if it is worth waiting for my charger to indicate the bike's battery is topped off before trying again (yes I have fuses pulled).
Not sure what else to look at. The drivers windows put in are from FTDI as well, from the end of '09.

I have replaced the 20 352 on my server against those of this posting.

Although with me have been unremarkable.

Have they used this FTDI driver?

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM 2.06.00 WHQL Certified.zip

If not, then uninstall the existing driver and install the driver from this link.

Please use the AC adapter on your computer and your bike battery connected to a charger.

Turn off the lights on the vehicle or remove the fuse for the light.

aaaaaaaa What used for Win7 you? 32bit or 64bit? With Win7 32bit it works very well.

With Win7 64bit, there are many driver issues, even when Win7 does not report this.

The most reliable win_xp work with TuneECU.

Tunes they invite the best from this page:

Turns out that the tune I'm using from Wayne MacDonald for TOR/cat bypass uses the 20050 I4 table for I2 and I3 as well. This custom tune was based on 20050, which is the same as 20222 (stock exhaust, full cat box).
