I'm in the UK and a year into owning my Trident 660 and to be honest I find it a brilliant bike as it is. I did take the quick shifter option on purchase which does change the dynamics of the bike. I must add that I do not have any throttle lag at all. Also, my bike has so much torque that I never have to use 1st gear which is saved for moving off uphill only. I am however huge fan of remapping. My current Audi A5 3.0 tdi sportback was completely transformed by a REVO remap and I would recommend it to anyone. I just don't think that an off the shelf remap like this one from DNK makes a big enough improvement to make it worthwhile, not for me anyway. I'm lucky enough to live near specialist shops that can do bespoke remaps for the Trident so maybe I should look there. Nice video btw, well shot and produced.
wow, thats a lot of revs for 70mph, thanks for the heads up, that really changes my mind on buying. think i'll stick to 850's or 900's. i really think an interstate cruise would be best at 4k, 3.5k better yet.
@@timallison8560 My CBR1000 cruises around 5k at 70 as well. It’s nothing. 5k on my KLR650 feels harsh. 5k on a multi cylinder bike isn’t much (unless it’s a V-Twin Cruiser).
Did you put the bike on a dyno tune to see exactly what the DNK flash accomplished? Is the motor running cooler? Is the fuel/air ratio good throughout all RPM’s. Will you add a power commander to fine tune? I just sent my ECU to be flashed by DNK. Does the map truly derestrict the bike?
Since i m new to this kind of stuff let me ask you this. Do you void your warranty with this? Can they spot it? Can we remove it when we go for a service or is it neccesary at all to remove it? Great vid btw.
So one thing you’re not mentioning and correct me if I’m wrong is that this is not as simple as you make it look. The tune is NOT free. It costs around $400. Is that accurate?
The few moments later part..... what did you touch to get the tune to upload? Im trying to unlock my bike but i cant get the tune to load please advise. Thank you in advance
@@enzo6sixty unfortunately Its a no go over here. I everything you did everything dnk told me to and it just will not load. There is no reprogram option. Only disconnect and informations. Both the app and obd link LX is up to date. I really do to want to send in my ecu for an upcharge for them to do it. 🤦♂️
@@marbonbella693 so I just checked, under ECU on the map tab there should be a reprogram option (even when I haven’t loaded a map). My question to you is, did you pay TuneECU yet and get the license?
@@enzo6sixty yes i paid abiut $30 through PayPal, when i go under license it shows me my email and that i have 4 bikes left that i can register. Like you said in your video my tune ecu doesn't say unregistered in the left top corner next to tune ecu. It did but when i paid through PayPal that when away
Last question, I’m trying to load the tune today, and I’m having problems. How long is it supposed to say this map is protected before trying to download it?
I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why it was not programming. Didn’t know to go hit reprogram. Man I wish you had shown that step! Thought the file was corrupt. Lol!
Two questions, are you still taking your bike to the dealership for service? I’m not sure if they would reset the ecu or not. Also I haven’t done it yet, but planning on installing dk tune on my bike this week, but there’s one problem, told dk about mg zard exhaust but also a quick shifter that I don’t have installed yet. Do you think there would be a problem loading up the tune before then? Thanks.
Hey there, 1. I only brought my bike to dealer once for the first service. I don't believe they will touch your ECU without specifically asking them to do so. 2. I would wait till you ordered your parts and install them before you load the tune to your bike's ECU. The tune (If I'm not mistaken) is to take advantage of the bikes aftermarket parts and optimize it's performance. I don't have a quick shifter myself, but I am on the way to my dealership to pick it up today. I ordered it 3 days ago.
@@enzo6sixty thank you, appreciate the response back! I want to do the tune so bad, lol, but I’ll wait until the quickshifter is installed. I heard that it also makes a quick ride more enjoyable.
@@kiarawilson2738 you’re welcome, I’m glad I was able to help. I told DNK that I’m installing a Quick-Shifter soon when I ordered the tune from them last month. I just finished installing it an hour ago. Just have to wait till Monday so the dealership can activate it.
@@enzo6sixty part of a normal service is to check that your bike is running the latest revision of the Triumph tune file. If there is a new revision they will most certainly overwrite it. It's part of the standard service checksheet. You have to tell them not to.
My tune ecu app says unregistered. It brings all my bike info up but say bike isnt registered so theres no reprogram option and it only seems to work when my bike is actually running otherwise it says ecu not located. Any ideas?
So you actually need to purchase the license for the TuneECU by sending a payment of (I believe) $15usd to the developer of the app through PayPal. All that info should be on the app..
It’s recommended to have the battery connected to a tender and headlight fuse removed? Is the free map good enough that it will remove the throttle lag? Not sure dnktune is worth it if on stock exhaust.
I haven’t heard of that issue YET. Good thing our Trident’s have a 2 year warranty. So, I would definitely run that to the dealership as soon as you can.
You can de-restrict it yourself by editing the standard map, without paying a fortune to someone with a 'custom' map not even developed on a bike from your market.
@@enzo6sixty I've personally done it myself for over 6 bikes and wrote the guide and original method for the 660 derestriction that DNK and others now use. You don't know what you are talking about.

17-tooth front sprocket is the best mod I’ve done yet. Drops the rpm’s about a grand in every gear. $12.
70 mph is now 5K rpm’s.

I love the dnktune on my trident, its like a whole different bike now!
What's the main difference you see on your bike now?
@@nerychristian
Throttle response is so much better.
Are you using the handlebar mount quad lock? The setup looks very nice and clean, with good visibility to the TFT.
Did you put the bike on a dyno tune to see exactly what the DNK flash accomplished? Is the motor running cooler? Is the fuel/air ratio good throughout all RPM’s. Will you add a power commander to fine tune?
I just sent my ECU to be flashed by DNK.
Does the map truly derestrict the bike?
Bottom line it for me. Do you still own the bike? Would you do it again?
Amazing vid! Got a gpr full exhaust. Question: does it void the triumph warranty? Thanks
Probably the ECU tune would void it

What ecu should I select in the app? Keihin or sagem. Also did U reset the adaptation?
Did you let the bike to run idle for 12 minutes after tuning the ECU?
Thanks for the video! How did you connect that obd device to the ECU? Is it straight forward?

It is recommended but I didn’t do any of those. The free map is just a stock map. Literally no difference.
no headlight fuse on the Trident. It is on if the key is on. Right on about the stock vs aftermarket exhaust.
Hi, what map did you use for this ecu?
I bought the map from DNK tunes
Does this remove the throttle delay?
Lol. Birthday gifts for a woman. I understand man, I've been there. 🤣
Update po sa dnk tune? Worth it ba after 1 year? No problem?
Planning to buy for my Tiger660
I don’t get a reprogramming option in the ECU drop-down only disconnect and informations. Any ideas anyone?
Sounds like you didn’t load the right tune file..
I get dnktune in e-mail how do I access it on my tablet?
Thanks
Anyone know how get my map file for send it to dnk tune? Thanks!
Did you plug your battery on a battery charger/tender while doing the procedure?
No I didn’t. Don’t know if this helps but before I did it I rode home from work which about 15 minutes of riding.
What exhaust are you running and how’s you do it with the triumph system being so integrated?
GPR full exhaust. Not as complicated as you think

Do you have to ship your ECU to DNK?
I didn’t but you can if you want to.
Just get it tuned correct on dyno and with a pro tuner.
Not an option for a lot of people.
Is an aftermarket exhaust and a high performance air filter necessary for the DNK remap? Would there be issues mapping a stock set up?
I don’t see the point of getting a tune without the modifications.
Does the obdlink lx need a cable wire to be mounted on the socket?
Nope, everything is done through bluetooth.
consumption?

Yup, the app supports a variety of bikes that have an OBD2 port
Does cruse control work with this tune ?
The Trident 660 doesn't come with a cruise control so I'm assuming no.
Is this the restricted version of the bike like in Australia?
No, fortunately. Even in stock the bike suffered from throttle lag.
