VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Resetting Adaptations is not necessary anymore or recommended. The creators of TuneEcu have directly stated not to do the "reset adaptations" anymore, and to simply use the 12 minute tune method. Also, if the audio bothers you, i created a duplicate of this video without the music. Look through my videos and you'll find it
There is no 12 minute tune, never was. It's a mild reset on some low level adaptives, nothing more... This is one of the Triumph Myths that just won't die because people keep repeating it... lol
I definitely mentioned the fact that its not a tune in the video. You are taking the word TUNE in the term "12 minute tune" way too literally. The "12 minute tune" is not a map or tune at all. It is simply the NICKNAME given to the reset by the general masses. People have been calling the idle loop reset the "12 minute tune" for more than a decade my friend lol Only reason that nickname became so popular is because it used to have a huge effect on the older triumphs, and make them feel better while riding temporarily. Don't get your boxers in a twist. Some people call them jimmies, but i dont get mad at them because i prefer sprinkles 🤷♂️
@@NicePantsLance long time triumph tuner here, so I want to make sure the info is correct. I see too many people tossing on a full race exhaust and claiming that the bike will tune itself... I see it almost daily. Lol
Yeah i see the same thing in the facebook groups lol people are becoming more and more ignorant. They take the first thing they see on the internet and run wild with it. People love to tell others that the "ecu will adjust itself" when asked whether a tune is necessary after a header install lol 😆 its a people problem for sure
Power Commander 5 is a piggyback unit that you install directly on your motorcycle. The unit itself can be connected to and installed with different tunes. You must use a specific software to interact with the PC5 unit. Most mainstream motorcycles are compatible TuneEcu is a software program lets you flash the motorcycle’s ecu directly, run data logs, test sensors, and essentially give you executive control over your motorcycle. You have to purchase a seperate bluetooth adapter (OBDLink LX) to connect the motorcycle to the TuneEcu software. TuneEcu isnt compatible with as many motorcycle brands as PC5, but it's compatible with bikes that PC5 doesn't. CCM, Moto Guzzi, and Moto Morini are TuneEcu compatible but not PC5.
My old Lenovo tablet with 2 GB RAM and Android 6.0 really struggled with the paypal buy and license registration step. Error message "tuneECU has stopped". But tuneECU connected to the ECU and displayed the VIN at least. Now buying a new tablet 😀
@@NicePantsLance I went for a Lenovo Yoga tablet with 4/128 GB memory, 11" 2000x1200 pixel screen and Android 11. tuneECU recommends Samsung tablets, but the brand shouldn't really matter.
I don't have any test mode on my app! And I would love to monitor my TPS my bike Burns and falls plugs within 30 minutes, the air fuel ratio is way way off and I have the first fuel injected triumph bike there is
As i said before, you wont see any testing selections until you connect to the bike. You wont even be able to connect to the bike until you register and pay for the app. You should go to the website and do some reading. As for your bike, it sounds like you have alot more going on than just with tuning. What make and model of bike do you own?
@@NicePantsLance it's not expensive at all depending where you live since it comes from the Uk. 80 dollars and some change shipped here to the states and they update it from time to time you can do alot more with it too then what I mentioned it's the same thing basically your dealer uses to check things and clear codes etc etc. It's worth it imo. 👌 oh forgot to mention clear that annoying spanner wrench too for oil changes.
Well its good to hear its about the same price as TuneEcu! I think the main reason i bought it was so i could remap the bike, but all the other features really captured my attention! I feel like a device like this should be in every motorcyclists garage lol
Hey! thanks for the tutorial! I have a question, does the LX is enough for the Triumph tiger 1050 sport (2013)? i might need a reset of the map/adaptation of my bike. From this documentation, i understand that I might need a cable connection and not bluetooth... am I right ?
Hi, I have TuneEcu and a custom DNK tune for my 2022 scrambler 1200. The dealer just installed the bluetooth and updated my ecu. Does anyone know if I reinstall my DNK tune if it will remove the bluetooth software? I reached out to DNK but they did not know about my situation.
Danielle doesnt really know much tbh, she just sells her tunes and hopes people don't reach back out. What you should do is try to read the map file thats on the bike. Compare it to a stock tune file that you can get on the Tune Ecu website! If the maps look the same, you'll need to reinstall your DNK tune. If the tune on the bike looks different from the stock tune off the website, then the bike probably still has the DNK tune on it. Hope you figure it out!
Got a question concerning resetting adaptations on the Street triple 765 rs 2020+. I selected reset adaptations but ran out of time to start the bike and let it idle for 15 mins so just switched the bike off (bike was not started). The fuel level indicator reset as well. Will it be ok to start it in the morning and run it on idle for 15 mins or do I have to reconnect tuneecu again and re select reset adaptions again?
You're alright! Actually, the reset adaptations should only be used IN PLACE of the 15 minute reset, only when the bike is already up to temp. I know i didn't provide some of those details in the video, but to answer your question, yes you are totally fine to run the 15 minute reset and dont bother resetting adaptations again! The 15 minute reset willl take care of everything! After that, have a nice ride 🤘 hope this helps!
Hey I have a speed triple 1200 RR do you recommend tune ECU or power commander? I wanted to install a racefit exhaust and don’t want the bike running too lean
It depends on what your local dyno tuner prefers. Id always prefer TuneEcu, but i understand not many tuners are willing to use it. Most tuners use PC5
Will any old cheap OBD adapter work to check for error codes? I'm going to check a used triumph to purchase and taking along my trusty android just for this.
I cant guarantee that every unit will work. I guess there's a particular chip needed in the adapter to work with Triumph Ecu's. Not every adapter has the chip
@@NicePantsLance Thanks. I downloaded it and during the installation process my phone said that the app wanted read/write access to ALL the files on my phone. I stopped the installation because that did not seem right. Do you know why that is?
I just put on Emgo exhaust tips so my 2013 Speedmaster can be louder so I can stay alive lol. Now it keeps backfiring. Any clue if I need to flash EVU or purchase a Power Commander or rejet it as I was told?
Kinda hard to call them exhaust "tips" when its basically half of the entire exhaust lol you're gonna get popping when you switch to a high-flow exhaust. Rejetting is for carbureted bikes, and i assume yours is fuel injected. Its not detrimental to the bike, but if you generally hate the sound, then youll need a Power Commander 5 with autotune or if youre lucky you could score TuneEcu and find a map that clears the popping. If you want all popping to disappear, you may need a pro dyno tune. Might want to check the online speedmaster forums or speedmaster facebook groups first. Might get a more direct answer
@@NicePantsLance ok thanks man. I was only trying to do it because I didn’t want it messing up my bike. So, just so I’m tracking correctly. The backfiring isn’t messing up my bike correct? It’s just from more air getting in?
When you register your program, itll ask you to assign a folder for tunes. You have to make sure the files you downloaded are in that specific folder or else it wont recognize
Yo! im trying to get it to read my map on my 2006 triumph daytona 675! does it have to be running to do that , because in my menu it doesnt even bring up that "read map" option...
@@NicePantsLance I have all of that!!..does it need to be a constant green.. mine is blinking green.. I even uploaded a map.. and it wouldn't let me rewrite
@@bmorisquati hmm I'd say make sure you update the application. Open the Map file first, then connect to the bike. If a new map is loaded and it's connected to the bike, you should have the option to reprogram the ECU. You gotta be under the correct menu though. Only 1 of those tabs actually gives you the reprogram option
If you do lose connection, it usually is ok. However, you may need to perform the ECU recovery process. Its sorta like a system restore but for your ecu. Kinda nerve-wracking, but it doesn't take long. Happy New Year!!!

What is the difference between PC 5 and the thing you are doing. Iam really new in this topic. I would be really happy when you give me your feedback

I've heard good things about dealer tool! Although, i dont believe you can remap your bike with dealertool, can you?
@@NicePantsLance no remapping. But you can bleed your own brakes with it. ABS of course! And set throttle bodies.
Thats a great function to have! I check my throttle body balance twice a season atleast! How expensive is dealertool?

Can I ask....what the long USB cable for thats under your seat.
I use it to charge my phone while its on the handlebar mount! Great for long trips and group rides where Google maps drains your battery

Got it. Thanks. I could get error codes basically.
I never registered it and paid so maybe that's it. I can't even find out how to do that now. Super difficult program

To recover? Im pretty sure when you try to connect it will ask you if you want to begin ecu recovery. Thats if something goes wrong during remap.
