TuneECU .... free tuning software

[albertaduke]

Download the software, unzip it.
Download key, unzip it into the same folder.
Order cable.

Find appropriate tune (pickings are slim at this time, but several are working on converting TuneEdit files).

Load tune to bike.

Ride on.
not so fast ....
I first downloaded winzip software then I unzipped the tuneECU software made the folder put in the tunes, the key ,and I ordered the cable so I am a good boy .
but when I try to open a tune in the computer I get nada nothing same when I try to open the key ,are we not supposed to see a bunch of columns with numbers .
WTF do I have to do to get these columns.
the tuneECU software seems ok though I can see a dashboard for R3 on my computer screen so I presume this one is ready to operate but the rest is for the compugeeks .. can somebody show me the light, I am ready for a beer now

When my cable comes in I'll put together a how-to with screen shots and pictures (providing I can figure it out myself), now if I can find a hex file for an 06 standard with Jardines....

when you do find that .ex file share it with me I have the same set up as you .

RIII Roadster ...

Oh baby ... just need a tune for the roadster. Nice 'n basic (no after market pipes, etc), just something to remove the power limitations in lower gears.
I will personally shake hands with whomever pulls this off. Seriously, shake hands.

Dude if thats all you want to do .... (might have heard me say this already) consider the GiPro and removing the secondary throttle plates. This way you won't have to "lobotomize" the ECM on a new bike until you are ready to take the performance plunge.
A GiPro is inexpensive, just plugs in and eliminates the speed limiter too.
Removing the plates is FREE!
Nice thing about plug in stuff when the bike is new, is that when she goes back to the shop for whatever, you don't have the tech asking "what the hell did you do to this bike? Warranty isn't going to cover this after you f-ed with the software."
Know what I mean Vern? Save the software manipulation for exhaust, intake and dyno-tuning.
Just something to consider while it's so new and all, 'cause once you start down the dark path ... there's no turning back ! BWWAAAAHHHAAAAHAHAAAAAAA
(I thought that was really funny when whats-his-name did that ... I wanted to try it too)

hey Hellfire do you need the GiPro as well when you remove the secondarys on the 08 std and that's a good point about warranty, will removing the secondarys void your warranty. my 08 is only 2mths old and I am about to put K&N's and cat delete on and was told I can do this with only doing a 12min tune can I also remove the secondarys at same time or do I have to do more (tunning)

No you don't "need" the GiPro to take out the plates, or "need" to take out the plates with a GiPro ... it just makes for a very responsive combination.
Each thing you do to upgrade the intake and exhaust reduces restrictions and increases air flow. Each increase in airflow causes a leaner air/fuel mix, and Triumphs only correction for this is to close the secondaries more. And of course closing the secondaries negates all you did to make the engine breath better in the first place. Until you solve all the issues at once and take over control of the whole air/fuel, exhaust backpressure, intake restrictions etc. ..... small "upgrades" will just be cosmetic/sound and can actually decrease performance. So it's difficult to give you feedback on things like throttle plates when your'e doing filters and cat-boxes.
For someone who just wants to leave everything stock and eliminate the timing retard in 1st-3rd, taking out the throttle plates is for quicker throttle response and won't effect A/F mix enough to matter.
Are you doing the K&N RU-2780 triple air filters, or a K&N drop-in? Either way since you aren't changing the pipes and the o2 sensor is still plugged in, there probably shouldn't be a serious lean condition and the 12min tune will probably be enough correction for whatever you do to the intake. Even though you've opened up the intake and reduced the air flow restriction, there should still be enough back pressure from the stock exhaust so it doesn't go lean really bad, that's why you were advised that a 12min tune will suffice. If you eventually change the pipes out, a "Triumph aftermarket exhaust" tune will not do the job (especially with the plates removed). At that time you will NEED a PCIII to richen the Air/Fuel mix. I would suggest that you plan on getting a PCIII sometime soon anyway just to be sure that things aren't too lean with the Triple Filter Mod.
I probably didn't answer your question at all did I? I started out doing small things like this until the guys here showed me what was going on inside. Thats when I decided it was "all-or-nothing" if I wanted it right. You will have to decide for yourself what you want ... just cosmetics and sound, or best possible performance along with the bling.
All my "stuff" is plug and play ... PCIII/GiPro/etc.. The pipes are TOR's, intake triple K&N's .... There hasn't yet been an issue with the warranty on my '08 Standard.

I guess I just have two concerns ... with the secondary throttle plates ... how hard is that? I'm no wiz at taking my bike apart. I should look to see if someone's written up a guide.
With the GiPro, my bike is a 2010 Roadster, which has a gear indicator in the instrument cluster. Since this GiPro in theory fools the ECU that it's in a higher gear, I would think it would render that gear indicator instrument worthless. Or cause other issues even?
