Triumph Speed Twin ECU Flash with TuneECU

[@aaronwright848]

Thanks for making this video. Have a speed twin as well. Brian over at A&J actually recommended this to me last week. I'm sold. Thanks!

[@VortexRulezz]

Easy to remap the ECU for sure, bummer is USA is way behind on fuel. My vehicles can't even drive there, as they require RON98. Keep up the vids !!

Just a quick note: I can't recall if you mentioned the 10/12 min tune/adaptation in this video or another, but I was looking at a deal TSB about adaptations and it looks like what you're referring to is the "Off Idle Adaptation". Dealers can run a Fast or Standard Adaptation using their triumph diags software suite, but there is an Off Idle they can't run because it takes 12 min while riding at constant speed, so the TST told them to tell customers to do this on their own time, and I think that's where the lore of the 10 min tune came from, only it seems you gotta be moving. I'll quote form the service manual here: "NOTICE: 1. Both the Fast Adaptation and Standard Adaptation methods only adapt the idle area. 2. The off idle area can only be adapted when the motorcycle is ridden under load, i.e. on the road. 3. The off idle adaptation area covers cruise sites from 40 to 60 mph (60 to 100 kmh), therefore the motorcycle must be at operating temperature and ridden at a constant speed for a minimum of 12 minutes in order to adapt. As it is not always possible for dealers to adapt motorcycles in this way, dealers are therefor recommended to inform customers that the motorcycle will continue adapting during normal use. If during an adaptation cycle the conditions are no longer met, for example if the motorcycle is ridden aggressively, the motorcycle will take longer to adapt." This info followed the dealer adaptation where it was indicated that the motorcycle should be connected to the diag tool, run the bike, don't touch the throttle, wait till the temp rises to 90c and the queue the adaptation from the diag tool. Which again reinforces that the 10min tune is a conflation of the on and off idle adaptation methods.

Have a dyno or anything to show what the mods did with the tune? Did DNK show you a power band or anything so you knew what you would be getting in regards to performance? Can't seem to get an answer out of DNK as to what exactly their tunes do for any model of bike over rand above just removing the throttle restriction at higher RPMs and raising the rev limiter which you can do yourself with the basic TuneECU App.

[@magyarlou]

Hey Adam , have you noticed at all if the popping went away on deceleration? ......also could please elaborate in detail what in particular did this tune enhance ......wheelies obviously are a sure fire sign that throttle is improved but more importantly I’d like to know more about any improvements in the rev range from low down to midrange and to the top end ? Your input I believe would benefit fit us all in the new liquid cooled modern retro triumph community .....please get back to me .....much thanks , Louie

[@ponderguy7724]

Hi Adam, I think you are missing a trick here, how about a program on how the tune has changed the behavior of the bike and describing any negatives? It would be also good to know how easy it is to reset to standard tune.

[@HarryHartman71]

Hey Adam, thanks for the video. For certain reasons I dare not cheat on the software. The question is whether this will invalidate the warranty in the event of problems. Can I give you another tip, always wear your gear .. ;-)

[@Christian-gm4yl]

hey Adam - have you ever tried the "log" feature in tuneecu? basically, doing a 3rd gear pull on the road while recording the data to tuneecu so you can review the engine parameters? just ordered the dnk tune and had to buy a new tablet to get tuneecu to work properly, so havent demo'd it yet, but spotted the "log" function. benefit would be asking DNK for a tune revision based on how "your" bike is performing on an off-the-shelf tune.

[@The_Dutchman76]

Hey Adam, were there some yellow dashboard error lights on after the tune? Cheers

[@jaredmotopnw]

Just heard it voids the warranty though. And wonder how much different it is with just putting it int Sport mode?

[@mark_Hershey]

Update? Still got the bike and running the dnk? Curious of longevity with aftermarket tunes.

FYI OBDLink MX+ will work with iOS devices, it is a bit more pricey tho. On another note, Adam, get a polarizer for your lens, you'll find it easier to record screens, especially outdoors.

[@SolarisDeath]

[@tybeeshines]

Adam first of all thanks for all the videos, it's been a huge help to me in my speed twin journey. I have a 2021 all black (not the new 2021), I love it and your videos have been a huge help to me. I'm curious which riding mode you were in for these performance upgrades? do you just leave it in sport mode? thanks

[@bif90210]

Can you elaborate? What improvements were noticed after? Less twitchy throttle? quicker? Less engine braking? or very little change? Thanks Adam. Remember me? It's this or the Z900RS.

[@sergemauro9897]

Thanks for all your video. I watched every of them. I also have a speed twin with X pipe and Cone mufflers. Did the tune avoid the poppings? Did you kept the O2 sensors.

[@AdamCroll]

Still have the O2 sensors, popping is still there but not as bad as it was.

[@ghostrider4544]

Hi Adam I got a 2017 street scrambler with vance and hines decat exhaust, forums says the offroad vance and hines tune are no longer available, do you know of any tunes for my bike, many thanks. I am in Melbourne Aus......

i installed a new map on my triumph sprint st 1050 and the petrol gage is not working only the red light comes on when it is empty.it works when i first turn the bike on when it does the test thing with the clocks have you got any ideas why it my be like this. will i need to reload the map and TPS sensers .thanks

[@FredMaranhao]

Nice video! Couple of questions: 1) did you reinstall the BoosterPlug after the tune? 2) how long did it take to remap?

[@AdamCroll]

Booster plug is completely removed, remap took 10 minutes to load onto the ECU.

What did the tune adjust? Did it make your bike run richer?

[@AdamCroll]

Adjustments to the fuel mapping to help take advantage of the mods I’ve done.

[@DavidParker-jr5bd]

Great video as usual! Just a couple of questions: Does Triumph void the warranty for using a 3rd party ecu remap? and Does this remap all 3 modes?

[@AdamCroll]

I’d be willing to guess yes, but I’m sure it depends on what on the bike is being warrantied. They may overlook it if something not related was broken.

[@dnktuneworks916]

All three modes are improved drastically, and any manufacturer can void a warranty for basically anything they feel, it's been like that since the start of time. That said, in many markets, the end-user is protected and the manufacturer would have to find a direct link to a failure to have a warranty concern. If your radiator leaks, that's on Triumph.

[@miker6516]

Can you please do us emergency services workers and hospital staff a favour and wear more than shorts and a tshirt when riding?

[@acbike]

Great video. I think I will do something like it down here in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. I have already saw a lot of your videos and a lot more from other folks about the ST. Let me ask you this: Did you experience any front brake squeal on low speeds til stop, like a traffic light? There are a lot of people out there with this problem and apparently no solution. I already tried several things including exchanging the brake´s pad for EBC and still the same random problem. Well, if you have or had, did you do anything to solve? Thanks. And by the way, try to rotate 180 degrees each mirror and le me know if you fell any difference. Regards.

[@AdamCroll]

The only time I get any squealing is after long spirited canyon riding, It’s not all of the time though. Compared to others complaints I’ve have minimum issues but it’s occasionally present. I assume it happens for me when. The rotors get very hot. I keep my mirrors this way to make it narrower so I don’t clip cars when I split lanes (legal in Los Angeles!)

[@JonathanBijos]

Fala Arnaldo. Conseguiu fazer remap aqui no RJ? Não encontrei lugar nenhum que faça. Tenho decat e ponteiras esportivas e tem muito backfire com a ST. Queria melhorar a experiência da motinha

[@brynn2001]

I’m looking at doing a DNK tune or a power commander I have a 2018 Truxton 1200R same engine as you what is the difference and do you recommend one more over the other?

[@AdamCroll]

Power commanders have always been a good choice for most bikes but I think it’s a bit overkill for mild tuning of the ST. Triumphs ECM is quite good at adapting to mild tunes

Certainly better than stock. Not perfect but very close.

I think that’s a tough question, when I was in my early 20’s I’d say sure! Now days I’d much rather ride two up on a touring bike or cruiser. It’s certainly possible but I avoid it for the most part.

Hi Adam , you could have used a mirror in lieu of the tablet and we wouldn’t have been any wiser .....🤪 Nice video anyway 👍🏻👍🏻🍺🍺 P.s. Did you have your traction control off while riding .

[@AdamCroll]

That red light is the tire pressure monitor, only real issue I’ve had with the ST. The pressures are at factory specs and the sensor says otherwise. May need to have that looked at eventually.

[@sunnyverghese8232]

Adam Croll : I had the same issue with my speed twin , turned out that the sensor battery was malfunctioning.

[@rickn8289]

Why you leaning bro!!

[@michaelgregg4660]

Adam what do you think of the bike now after having the retune in it now for a few months. I know we are not suppose to be concerned about fuel mileage, but with the small tank I got to ask what the mpg is now on the average if you figure it. Hey the mpg may have went up even I know it did when I did the decat. Live in the desert west of Phx. and sometimes the distance on rides can be very close to running out. Do carry a little container on long trips. Was thinking of trying to get the TecBike.com camshaft for it but after watching your video(twice now) I am really thinking of doing the tune. Great videos! Thanks.

[@AdamCroll]

The tune in my opinion is worth doing! It’s not a huge difference but it’s noticeable and it really seems to bring an already awesome engine to the next level of smoothness and power delivery. As far as fuel mileage, I’m not much of a help really. I’ve never had a situation where I was on the verge to running out of gas. Between the before and after mods I’d say it’s not much different but for me with the mods I find I burn more gas in general because it’s so easy to push this bike to its limits in the twisties! Thus I fill the tank often lol!

[@michaelgregg4660]

@@AdamCrollThanks for the quick response. Bike before this was a Victory Cross Roads. Good bike , but started having issues and parts were getting hard to get. This is my 3rd Triumph over the years. Really enjoy the over 300-lbs less in weight. Wife no longer rides with me, so I got the bike that seemed to get my attention when it came out and went back to Triumph (again!). Seen them change dramatically from my first 1978 750 Bonneville to the new Triumph Bonneville. Would love to dyno our bikes. Just use the old butt dyno...... Would like a bigger fuel tank for it, may make one one day.

[@magyarlou]

what mode were you in when you test rode the bike after tune and was the traction control on or off ?

[@AdamCroll]

Sport mode, I’ve never actually turned TC off, I like having a tiny bit of assurance. If I’m not in the canyons I often keep it in Road mode though, it’s a bit more pleasant for stop and go imo.

[@andrewbecker3700]

@@AdamCroll I've noticed just the opposite. My '22 feels less snatchy in Sport mode at low speeds. I've got the USBlink MX+ arriving in a couple days. I'm anxious to unleash the bikes full potential with a custom ECU tune. The second gen. Speed Twins have 12 to1 compression ratio with forged pistons, a bigger camshaft and better flowing ports. I'm hoping for around 110hp with the mods I've made already and the new tune. The factory mufflers sound soo good with the baffles removed and a British Customs competition x-pipe in place of the cat. I always run premium non-ethanol fuel, with Stabil, and Klotz Nitro octane booster with Koolinall, added to each tank in appropriate amounts. Never once has it popped or sputtered at any throttle position since I've had it.

I think it's awesome that you are tweaking your bike into what you need - but I disagree that this is how the Speed Twin should have been stock. Not all of us want to tune our bikes, thus changing them into ..... some hybrid entity. This bike is PLENTY for me at year 3 of my riding career. But if you have an insatiable need to customize .... can you add a Motodemic headlight ;) I think they are very cool ....
