TuneECU Tutorial for unlocking your Triumph ECU for more power

This is a follow up to an earlier video, where I go into a little more detail to try and cut down on some of the common questions.
If you have a fuel injected Triumph motorcycle, watch this.
You need an Android phone, the TuneECU app and a correct Bluetooth Adapter:

[@NebulaLuna]

I have a 2023 Tiger 850 Sport. If you want to laugh, I highly recommend loading up the Tiger 850 Sport map and looking at ETV 2 (highest of the only 2 modes). Now load up A Tiger 900 and look at ETV 3. The 850 Sport at 100% throttle is mapped to 100 from 0-3500 RPM then it drops off a cliff to 71.3 and even down to 59.1, hovering between those till redline. They marketed this bike as having good low end torque, easier to ride, etc etc...I'm just laughing at this table. They tuned it to look like a half wet noodle. Comparing even down to 12.3% throttle the 900 has higher numbers throughout. Anyways, I am going to be adjusting my 850 sports table to be like the 900 and then give it the beans at the end. Much cheaper then going to a tuner! Thanks for the video.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

It doesn't surprise me. It makes sense from a manufacturing perspective. You invest R&D, tooling and manufacturing costs into one motor, and then in software you create different power profiles for different applications/bikes...

[@shijopunnooseabraham]

U have addressed all the questions I had from ur first video. Fair play to you. I have a 2019 speed twin uk model with an x-pipe. Was just looking at the stock maps 30257. Funny it's not restricted all the way up until the throttle reached 90 and 100 percent, but yet the newer speed twins are restricted a lot. Will be mapping my twin soon. Thanks mate for your advice👍

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Glad I could help!

[@davidforbes8230]

Wil do! Thanks!

[@cfltitan]

I FINALLY loaded the tune you made for me! I only got it for a couple mile ride because it’s in between raining here. It definitely feels better up top thanks to richening it up some and adding a bit of timing (I only run 93 octane anyway so it can handle it). Unfortunately the throttle/power doesn’t seem much different because the Street Triple was already at is max throttle values all the way to redline so I didn’t get that big difference like a lot of bikes get. It is quicker to come up from the midrange though because it was dialed back on throttle opening down under around 7,000 rpm’s. It’s got the idle hanging really high for about 5 seconds and the throttle sensitivity feels very twitchy but that’s due to the parameters being reset. It’s gotta relearn itself. Thank you again very much for putting that base tune together for me!! Oh, and mine only took about 2 minutes to reprogram?? I was expecting much longer like yours. Do you think anything was wrong with that? It said it was complete and it starts and runs fine. Just seemed very fast for a reprogram. Even my truck takes like 5 minutes to load a new tune.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Apparently through either one of the latest updates to TuneECU, or having the latest firmware in the OBD connector, you are the second person that has told me that the ECU flash process went from 18 minutes, down to 2-3 minutes. If this is on every bike, that is a MASSIVE improvement!

[@cfltitan]

@@Daves_Man_Cave yeah I was shocked and happy. Kinda worried though. 😂

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@cfltitan I wouldn't worry. In the Windows days of TuneECU, the first flash took 15 minutes and then every flash after that was 2-3 min because it was just sending the changes, and not the whole map each time. Maybe that's what they finally figured out how to do on the Android version...

[@cfltitan]

@@Daves_Man_Cave yeah I was worried at first but after starting it and taking it for a ride it was clear everything was ok.

I'm so glad you put this information out there. I'm excited to try a new map for my 2016 Scrambler after swapping the stock pipes for EMPI flared VW pipes (3693).

Might try removing the snorkel too after getting the tune right and seeing if there are any maps for those types of incremental mods.

I will keep you posted. I think it may be an issue with the Blue SCAN II' I purchased from LoneTec. It is on the approved list, but I don't think it allows Maping changes.

Possibly, but you should still be able to edit the map itself.

Hey Dave, thanks for all your content. Very informative and always fun to watch you working on your bikes :) Question: is your tune for 2022 speed twin 1200 (stock exhaust, US/CAN) from Dec. 15, 2022 still the latest one? I'm referring to "2022 Speed Twin US and CAN stock exhaust unrestricted Final.hex" Cheers!

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

I believe that is the correct one. That's just a tweaked and "unrestricted" map for a stock bike. If you do the Xpipe and mufflers and other mods that I did, then I have a custom dyno tuned map for that setup.

Hey Dave, love your content! I flashed your '2019 Speed Twin 1200 India xpipe and mufflers' map onto my '19 Speed Twin, and it's a huge improvement over the map (30257) my dealer put on when they installed my EU-spec Vance & Hines exhaust. Since then, I've also added an x-pipe and a K&N air filter. Now I'm getting some burbles on decel and pops when I upshift, plus it feels like I've lost a bit of power at higher RPMs. Any advice? Or do you have any other maps you'd recommend that might fix this?

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

The bike always had pops and burbles on decal, but with the CAT installed, it muffled it. Now with the X-Pipe, you are hearing it. I don''t have a custom map for that year. If you had those mods not the newer Euro5 model, I could hook you up.

[@Omar411269]

So I'm putting a slipon on a Daytona 765 Moto2. I took a look at a 2013 Daytona 675r Race AFR map and turned everything that was 14.50, 13.75 to 13.50 to match. Am I understanding correctly that the ECU is taking my true throttle input, adjusting it per the ETV(#) table, then using the F# table to determine fueling? And overtime the O2 sensor is comparing it's readings to the AFR table and "self tuning" by building an F # Trim table? And supposedly that F # + F # Trim table is the new "custom" fuel table for my bike?

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

First, never played with the F/L switches, so I would leave them alone... There is no self tuning on these bikes. There are very small areas where it can do a limited "short term fuel trim" but it is very limited. If the tuning is off, it stays off till you tune it properly... I just adjust the AFR tables to 13.25 for that "just in case it helps a little bit" scenario... But I haven't seen any real evidence that it does much, if anything... These are narrowband, not wideband lambda sensors... How the rest works, is if you have ride by wire, you have your throttle input from the throttle tube itself... The ECU reads that, and depending on what mode you are in, it takes how much you twist, and says "this is how much throttle plate opening I will give you"... Twist the throttle 75% in Sport, and you get more plate opening than it gives you in Rain mode, etc... From there, the F tables are based on throttle plate opening and RPM... NOT how much you twist the throttle. Otherwise you would need different F tables for each ride mode. Make sense? Finally, F tells the bike how much fuel to give at a given RPM and throttle opening... WHen you tune you can use the trim tables... once it is dialed in, you can leave it on the trim tables or "commit" them to the F tables, which is what I usually do.

[@Omar411269]

@@Daves_Man_Cave Yeah Ive been watching your videos all day and I think it's making more sense. The F trims are there as a temporary mod before committing them to the F tables. BTW you had asked in one of your videos if changing the ETV tables only changes it for certain gears. That's true. To change the ETV values for all gears you have to swipe up or down to the specific "mode" you want to edit (example: ETV 3) then tap on the ETV 3 itself. Another radio menu will pop up with the ETV tables per gear for that specific mode (example: ETV 3(1), ETV 3(N), ETV 3(2), etc...). My bike has 3 ETV modes but 7 tables in each mode corresponding to 6 gears and neutral. I think I've also figured out F-L Switch; its the throttle plate motor position at which the ECU switches from using the F tables for fueling vs the L tables. The F tables are based purely off throttle plate position. The L tables are based on Mass Air Flow. For the most part the L tables are only used below 20% throttle input. Basically the F tables are used for acceleration and the L tables are used for maintenance speed. Or I could be completely wrong lol

[@PimKouwenhoven]

Hi Dave, Thanks for the insightful vids! great help. I'm trying to remap my street triple R 2012.

Not that I know of. TuneECU usually keeps the most up to date revision on file in their database. So if your map was modified and the dealer updated it, then you will likely need to take the new map, re-modify that and then push it to the bike.

Great video, thanks! I have 2 truimph's so Im ordering my ocb link right now. I just have one question. The most irritating issue on my rally pro is the slightly jerky pickup at very low speeds from a closed throttle. I assume this has a setting to prevent the ecu from shutting the fuel supply completely on a closed throttle? It also runs a little lean with my slip-on and it definately has a strict nanny at waiting for me at aroung 200kph!

It could be the "fuel cut", or it could be the ETV tables being too aggressive. What year and model and country is the bike? I can look up the map and see if there is anything in there that might stick out.

Thanks for the video 👍I got a 22 striple r all stock. Will it hurt the bike if i changed ecv3 to 100% the last 2 columns all the way up? Just like what you did in the video?

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Will not hurt it at all. Its the same motor as the RS, same internals, same tune. The only difference is the ride by wire table. Your "sport" mode is more like the "Road" mode on the RS. All you would be doing is making your sport mode match the RS. If you want, you can open up the ETV table for the RS, copy it, and then open up the R map and paste it in. If you tell me what your base map is, I can do it for you and send you the link. I just need to know what country you are in, and what mods you have done. Will take me 5 min.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Here, try this. Made Sport mode unrestricted but also more aggressive and linear than the RS model. Should feel nice and spicy in Sport mode now. Also added a little fuel to the lean areas, lowered AFR targets to 13.2 and then told it to turn the cooling fan on a little sooner... drive.google.com/file/d/1YeoHdJU63pkqVMonKbg22jWhpMTjPuK3/view?usp=drive_link When you ride it in Sport mode, it might feel too aggressive at first, but that's because your muscle memory has learned that "this much twist gives me this much power"... It's going to give you more power per bit twisted... It's not changing the tune or what the motor us capable of making, it is taking what was already there, and changing how it is delivered... Before, you might twist to 45% and it would only give you 29%... Now, if will give you whatever you twist it to. Start with that and if we need to tweak it from there we can. Install that, reset adaptives, let it warm up for a few min and then go rip on it and see how it feels and report back?

Ride the bike, and find the flat spot RPM and throttle position... Go into the fuel trim tables, and add 5% fuel in that area, and see if the flat spot gets better or worse. If better, add a little more and retest until it gets a flat spot again and then back it up to where it felt best.

[@Automagine]

Hey Dave, thanks a ton for these videos! I have a '16 T120 with TEC cam, x-pipe, air filter, mufflers, and a DNK tune I bought years ago, which in all honesty works pretty good (and definitely better than the stock map), but I ended up stacking a booster plug on top of it to get the crisper 'sport mode' throttle response I was after. Now I feel I have an understanding to poke around and see what I paid for lol. A question comes to mind-- if I ever wanted to take my bike to a Dyno tuner, does this mean a (competent) tuner shouldn't need to install a power commander to make changes? Or is that device still necessary?

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

The Booster Plug is snake oil. I don't know why anyone buys those things. All it does it trick the MAP sensor into thinking the bike is at lower elevation, so it adds more fuel everywhere. it does nothing for the throttle. I would remove the Booster Plug, and go into TuneECU and adjust your Sport mode throttle settings and then tune the bike...

[@Automagine]

@@Daves_Man_Cave I bought a booster plug in the early days of my T120 hoping it would alleviate its notoriously snatchy throttle off idle (it didn't). Back then I might have agreed with you. Fast forward a couple years, a TEC cam, and a DNK tune later-- I was debating going to a dyno tuner, but one day I decided to first try out that old booster plug I had laying around for shits and giggles. I rigged it up and spent an hour testing it out on the same stretch of road getting on and off throttle in all gears across the rev range, pulling over and bypassing it, doing the same run, replugging it, repeat. Respectfully, the throttle response now changes significantly when it is plugged in, and is much more FUN! Almost like a Sport mode, which doesn't come on the T120. No exhaust popping, no gasoline smell, and always between 45-55 mpg. My theory: the DNK tune was maybe not intended for the cam, and as such was too lean. Adding "more fuel everywhere" fixed that. I'll pop into TuneECU one of these days. I do love to tinker.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@Automagine Its just dumping more fuel in there, so if the bike is lean, the bike will feel better. The problem with the Booster Plug is that it has no way to just target lean areas. It dumps fuel everywhere, which will help lean spots, but areas that are fueled fine or even rich, will get richer.

[@Automagine]

​@@Daves_Man_Cave Yes, exactly lol, and this is why you may recall I came here with a question about taking the bike to a dyno tuner. Power commander still necessary yea/nah?

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@Automagine It really depends on what the tuner is comfortable using.

British Customs says that with a cat-delete / X-pipe that you Must re-tune the bike. I've seen others say that you can just let it re-map itself with a 15 minute idle from cold-start and this will give you 70-80% of gains/keep protective factors for reliability. Do you think I can get away with a simple 15 minute idle to re-map the bike? Thanks.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

There is no remap itself. Never has been, never will be. People who don't know how the bike works, keep repeating that myth and telling other people about it and it spreads like wildfire and it has NEVER been true. lol The bike has narrowband sensors with really limited range, and how would a bike at idle, remap itself at 85% throttle and 6,750rpm? haha It is crazy to me that people still quote that nonsense, no offense. Anyone that tells you that the bike will just remap itself for a full exhaust, doesn't know anything about these bikes. Don't listen to them, don't let them work on your bike, etc... If its a dealer telling you that, find another dealer. Seriously. Anyway, if you did all those mods, yes, you will need a new map. What year, model, country and VIN range is your bike?

For a bike from that era, there is a map called the TOR or Arrow map. TOR is Triumph Off Road. They put out a map for that pipe, as they used to sell it as a Triumph accessory. Look on this page and see if you can locate your bike, and find a map that says TORS or Arrow Full in the title or description: tuneecu.net/ObsoleteTune_List.html Now what I don't know, is if you can push that tune with the Android version, or if you have to get your hands on the old Windows version and a wired OBD instead of Bluetooth.

Urgent help needed!1/10/2025 First of all, Happy New Year to you. I have a question regarding my 2023 Speed Triple 1200. It has original setup, exhaust, O2 sensor...I used your videos for turning it with TuneECU and OBDLink MX+. I adjusted the throttle response map, a bit the AFR map and also F1,2,3 maps. It is now a " smooth like butter" beast. The thing I do not like and do not know how to correct is: After being at a certain higher speed and rpm, if a have to engine brake and close completely the throttle, when I reopen the throttle, is has a "kick" unless I am very gentle with throttle to avoid that initial jerking. I could really appreciate your advice here. Thank you in advance. Cheers

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Well, I am gonna guess you made the throttle application maps, the ETV table, a bit too abrupt down low. I increase mine slightly below 10%, but not a whole lot.. and then I get a bit more aggressive above 10%, but I don't get it to a 1:1 ration until at least 20% throttle. What's yours look like?

What year is it? If its an older 675, then the reduced power is likely the result of a different cam profile, and not something that you can "tune out" to get full power.

I saw you other video on them and that’s why I’m questioning if I just want to do it myself and save the money. I’ve tuned trucks before so I’m kinda familiar with it all.

The 2018 is Euro4, so it won't be as lean as the Euro5 models. You can tune it. Start with the ETV tables. Or if you want, I can build a map to get you started. Let me know the country and last 6 digits of the VIN so I can pull the right base map and see what's going on in that map.

All my files start as OEM base maps from Triumph. If you tell me the year, model, country and last 6 digits of the VIN, I can put together a map in the morning... And the bikes will always be a bit snatchy for two reasons... They are torquey 1200cc twins, and there is a fuel cut off hard coded into the ECU. You can smooth some of it out with fuel or ride by wire table changes, but a lot of it is you learning to adapt and ride around it. I say this from experience. One of my bikes is making just shy of 200hp at the wheel, and around 110ft/lbs of tq. I learn to ride with a smooth throttle hand.

I would leave them on, unless you decide to tune it, and then get rid of them. What I found on mine, is that it idled kinda funny when I disabled them... So I plugged TuneECU in while the bike was running, and watched the short term fuel trims that the O2 sensors were providing... It would bounce around from +7 to +13 on each cylinder, meaning that the bike was ADDING fuel to the idle area, not taking away... While the bike's ability to "adjust" is narrow and limited in scope, it does work both ways... So if the bike is a little lean there, it can richen it slightly, and that will help you.

Going from rain to sport does not make it lean, and neither will this. Now, if you are installing exhaust and an air filter, than absolutely, you will want to alter the fueling and make sure its getting enough.

[@hybridjordan2511]

​@@Daves_Man_CaveThanks for the reply, I'm happy now. then I prepare the map as you did in the video including the AFR values. the motorbike has oem filter and oem exhaust. in the future at the maintenance service I would like to fit a bmc or k&n panel filter and if necessary two more open exhaust terminals such as ixil ironhead. Will this necessarily lead to an adjustment of the fuel table? or just in case a decat is fitted? thank you so much for your answer

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@hybridjordan2511 Air filter won't change much, its more about the convenience of being able to wash it and re-use it. The mufflers might change the flow a little bit, and you can add a little fuel to compensate for that. Hit me up when you do the filter and mods, and I can help you with a map.

​@@Daves_Man_CaveHi, I installed the modification to the etv3 sport map by changing the etc3 and afr table parameters. As you described. I reset the adjustments via tune ecu and everything seems to work fine.. I really hope that the complete opening of the throttle in sport mode does not unbalance the carburetion, creating fainting or a leaner air-petrol mixture.. because the petrol table is mapped for a throttle open to 70 let's say..

Hi, I have an older 2007 Tiger 1050 and my Wife has a 2017 Street Cup. Neither bike shows an ETV table. In the case of the Tiger I guess its because it still has throttle cables. But the Street Cup which is essentially a Street Twin doesn't either. I've scrolled through all the tables and nothing shows the values for % of throttle open. Any idea why? Thanks, Cloudy

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

The Street Cup doesn't have ride modes, right? I had one but it was like 7 bikes ago, so I forget... I am pretty sure it's not ride by wire.

[@cloudymcleod]

@@Daves_Man_Cave Definitely ride by wire. And yes no ride mode's but I'd have thought there would still be an ETV table unless you do get 100% throttle opening at full throttle by default. Further searching bought up a Street twin tune without ETV tables as well.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

@@cloudymcleod I will have to look into this, because I thought the Street Cup was the last model without ride by wire... If it doesn't have an ETV table, I feel like it doesn't have ride by wire... How would it translate input voltage from the throttle sensor to convert to a given opening of the throttle body? Let me see what I can dig up...

You download the map for your bike through the TuneECU app. Goto Map, Open, then download, select Triumph and then continue to navigate to the model and year bike you have... From there, you can edit the map, and then push it to the bike. You can't pull the map directly out of the bike, it only lets you push a map TO a bike.

[@jbean530]

Does the 2018 rs street triple not need this retune? Very interesting.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

No, for the 2019-19 models the motors have a different cam, which means they also have a different fuel and ignition tune. No way to turn the R into the RS without swapping out engine internals and doing a full tune, which at that point its cheaper to just sell the R and get the RS. In 2020, they started using the exact same motor, same internals, same fuel and ignition tunes, and then they just manipulate the power output with the ride by wire tables... Just like they give a different power profile for Rain, Road and Sport... those 3 modes can be one output on the RS, and then they just dial them back for the R model...

This is great, but for what map changes do you need to disable and remove the O2 sensors? I have a new PLX wideband AFR gauge kit laying around. Could that be installed in one of the O2 sensor holes to monitor the fuel ratio? Especially after installing the TEC camshaft on my 2016 Street Twin one day.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

I think your 2016 Street Twin is the same motor and tune as my 2017 Street Cup. If so, when you install the CAM, do the X-pipe, air filter and mufflers and I will send you a full custom dyno tune map for that setup. Just push it to the ECU and go.

[@mcplutt]

@@Daves_Man_Cave Thanks :-) Yes it's the same motor. I have done the X-pipe and a DNA air filter. Not sure about the mufflers, they sound great now. First I have to replace the A2 licence restricted power tune that the previous owner had the dealer install. But that should go smooth.

You need to find the map in the database that matches your model of bike, country and VIN range. 30041 is your map. Now, why do you need a hex editor? You download and open the map IN the TuneECU app, and you can modify any of the tables to suit your needs, and then save it, and push it to the ECU.

Another question!.....where as your ETV3 is similar from 0 upto 60% the Thruxtons is wildly different pretty from much from 0%, any idea why? and would it make for a smoother delivery power if I changed the whole range to match its highest output in each column?? I've currently changed them all down to the 23.1% column. In 23.1% is now 25 but the next drop to 15.4% is at 8.5...seems like a big jump from 8.5 to 25??
