Potentially risky potential. A TuneECU tutorial.

This is a TuneECU tutorial. It'll be boring and unless you have a 2019+ Rocket 3, you probably won't enjoy it. 😁
Thanks to @Dave's Man Cave, I was able to make this video specifically for my Rocket 3 GT. Do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything you do with your bike.

FYI, if your doing the 12 minute tune, you let her run until the fan comes on and then count 12 minutes from that point forward without any throttle. Good video - thanks 🙏

[@SeadogSeven]

Excellent point

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Glad it helped! Makes a huge difference. You can also adjust fuel, ignition, lower the cooling fan temp and other things all in the same map...

[@SeadogSeven]

👍

[@royz6872]

Hi Dave, any suggestions on altering anything else if your running with a free flow filter and no cat on the exhaust? would you possibly make it slightly richer at the higher rev range and maybe retard the ignition timing very slighty?

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@royz6872 Air filters don't do a whole lost, despite what they claim. Unless the filter significantly increases the surface area, the only way to flow more air, is to let more dirt into the motor. If you do a filter and decat and have free flowing mufflers, I would tune it. You can simply fatten up the fuel curve a tad, but no need to pull ignition timing. If anything, I usually add some timing advance because most of these things come with overly conservative settings... What bike, year, country and last 6 digits of the VIN? I can pull up the base map and see what is in there as far as restrictions and make some suggestions...

[@SeadogSeven]

I just wrapped up the video for the spark plugs and air filter. You're gonna hate changing your air filter lol. Processing the new video this week and will be uploaded when completed.

I've run two Rocket 3s at the Bonneville Salt Flats and two Kawasaki zx1400s. The highly modified 2014 Rocket 3 with 260 rwhp went 164 mph. The mosly stock 2021 Rocket 3 with 160 rwhp went 152 mph. The 2012 Kawasaki Zx1400 with 170 rwhp went 180 mph. The 2013 Kawasaki Zx1400R went 196 mph. The naked Rocket 3s are hard to ride and get higher speeds because of aerodynamics. Finally the torque of the Rocket 3s make it hard to hook-up on the salt. I believe all those bikes would run 8 to 10 mph on pavement at lower altitudes. Vids of those bikes running are in my channel for the curious.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

And you don't really need to do the 12 minute run when you reset adaptations in TuneECU. The 12 minute run is to reset things when you don't have TuneECU or the dealer tool. 🙂

[@SeadogSeven]

Thank you for that. Your channel has helped me out a ton!

[@saltire546]

Can you do away with the speed restriction with tune ecu?.Thanks for sharing this video .A follow up would have been nice ie did you notice much difference.

[@SeadogSeven]

Great question but I don't see the option to do that in Tune ECU. I've looked through all the menus to find it. I just got some Chin Mount hardware and will do a follow-up video.

[@saltire546]

​@@SeadogSeven watched video today all be it the tuner didn't say what software he was using, he needed multiple runs on a Dyno to get air /fuel correct and did say that he removed the top speed limiter, O2 sensor ect .He was Florida based .Proven power is his KZbin site name.

[@thefreakinpope5148]

I've seen on forms people say you can but you have to buy the pro license to be able to do it.

[@saltire546]

Woolwich software has the ability to get rid of the top speed restrictions, increase the rev limiter and many other things 👍I just need find my nearest tuner who uses it.

[@BassinProf]

So what settings need to be changed if you are taking off the catalytic converter and adding an aftermarket slipon? Is this just taken care of with the 12 minute rest?

[@SeadogSeven]

I didn't have to make any changes for the Competition Werkes Exhaust.

[@terrible2u]

You've got the wunderkind turn indicators too. Good choice man! ;)

[@SeadogSeven]

Thanks bro. I think they look the best and blend in with the bike.

[@terrible2u]

@@SeadogSeven I think so too. Got their reflector-covers as well, the evotech tail-tidy and some different handle-control-thingies. A dealer here does a mod that moves the display down and forward, that might be next on my list of to-do's!

[@SeadogSeven]

@terrible2u I'll have to look at those. I had found the aluminum covers and they were about $60. I couldn't justify it.

[@terrible2u]

@@SeadogSeven Yea, in Switzerland you dont need reflectors at all, but since I do a bit of riding in the black forest here and there, ze germanz really like to make a fuss about it. Cant remove them, but nobody said anything about covering them. And it's just one screw each to get rid of them. For me, easy choice, for you, may be totally different!

[@SeadogSeven]

Understood. I'm in North Carolina and I think they are required but not enforced. I took them off my previous bike and it passed inspection every time.

[@bennievercueil5774]

Thanks for a very useful video. One question. What about the airflow and timing when you adjust your tps or etv to 100%. Will the ecu automatically compensate?

[@SeadogSeven]

You're welcome. You have to do the 12min recalibration. Then it will re-learn everything

[@bennievercueil5774]

@@SeadogSeven ok thanks a lot.

[@SeadogSeven]

No problem

[@antoniokatojunior8309]

Hi, Great video... Is a big diference between original and reflash? I have one 1200 tiger gt pro in Brazil. Thank you

[@SeadogSeven]

Thank you and yes, it is a big difference with launching. For me, it sounds like it runs more smooth as well.

[@superdacoolman]

@@SeadogSevenmore then just launching. You are reducing the quarter mile time to sub 10.5 with a proper tune. The accelerates harder all around.

[@SeadogSeven]

Gotcha 👍

[@haroldreynoldsii9857]

Nice video, gonna hook up my TFC

[@SeadogSeven]

Fantastic!

[@thomasgessner]

Why would you program the ETV to open 100% when you apply 92% throttle? Does not make much sense to me…

[@SeadogSeven]

Quicker throttle response....? 😁

[@RichDunn]

I noticed the OEM values run low to high from bottom left to top right, but you altered them to run low left to high right - why is that? Triumph's ECUs are self-learning if you run the 12-minute tune, but I believe the 12 minutes begin after the fan has cut in, not just from a cold start. If you applied a new map, why has the 12-minute tune got to be run as well? - to be sure it allowed for the other values like TPS to adjust too, perhaps?

[@SeadogSeven]

This was my 1st time using TuneECU and I was following the instructions from Dave's Man Cave channel. His walkthrough worked for me but I don't have the details of the "why".

[@dejanmeki]

I have 210kit from Carpenter and ecu is unlocked with tuneboy revs to 9176rpm, if i do tune with tune ecu is it gona erase rev limit. I hate my bike still have PC5 and not running perfect at low rpm...

[@SeadogSeven]

Maybe keep the rev limit you have then......?

[@dejanmeki]

@SeadogSeven i would like to remove PC5 and do a direct tune on ecu , have been few times on different dyno getting 196 to 212hp graphic doesn't look good at lower rpms and I can feel it

[@SeadogSeven]

@@dejanmeki Let us know how it goes for you.

[@dejanmeki]

@SeadogSeven do y think there is finished proven map for 210Kit from Carpenter just to load it with tune ecu, probably that's the easiest way to go with if someone already did

[@SeadogSeven]

Idk... You'll have to search the Internet and probably go into forums/community chats for that specifically

[@superdacoolman]

You are better off getting the Btmoto tune. They did more like fuel optimization to take advantage of 93 octane. Also increased the rev range. Adjusted fan cooling parameters. Probably some more stuff too

[@SeadogSeven]

👍 Good to know. Thanks for the info!

[@extraordinarywolf320]

I had a 2012 Hayabusa so my question is, is this Hayabusa fast??? Serious question.

[@SeadogSeven]

I'm not sure. I never rode on a Busa

[@extraordinarywolf320]

@@SeadogSeven You should ride one is stupid fast. Peace

[@SeadogSeven]

@extraordinarywolf320 It used to be my dream bike, back in the day. Peace bro

[@michaellilley6725]

@@extraordinarywolf320 I don't own a Busa either but I do own both an identical Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black and a Kawasaki ZZR1400/ZX14 Performance Sport. So to sort of answer your question...No!! The Rocket has higher torque at lower revs and does have amazing acceleration, however the ZZR/ZX1400 carries on after the R3 stops. With each one thousand rev increase the Kwaka finds even more pull, this is especially true above 7000rpm where the R3 reaches its limit. To give you a pillion's opinion, I took my eighteen year old son on the Rocket, throttling up from in town speed limit his reaction was "Fcukn Wow!!" A week later doing the same thing on the Kwaka his reaction was " Holy Fcukn shit". As for comparing the bikes you really can't it's all down to what your riding style and preference is and whether you want a more stooped/cramped or more relaxed riding position. Both are Masterpieces of engineering, top of their class. You can see both bikes as well as my others on my other channel @greywolf9292

[@SeadogSeven]

So you're saying I need a Busa also? I hear ya! I'll start looking for one 😁🤣
