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:

Great video, thank you! I really like all of your Speed Twin content. I followed this video and unrestricted my 23 Speed Twin. I was really suprised by how much more power it gave me - put some real teeth into my otherwise stock Speed Twin. Thanks!

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). It has a K&N filter too but it's bone stock beyond that so I'm hoping for the best. 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 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.

[@SquireSCA]

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!

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

[@SquireSCA]

@@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...

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!

[@SquireSCA]

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.

That's just how they tuned that motor. Maybe one cylinder gets hotter than the other, not sure, but the tables being slightly different is normal.

thanks for a very useful video, i have a question you might have an idea. I have a street twin 2019 and currently using the map 30240. I see in the map for F1 and F2, is it normal that they have different number on map for F1/F2?

[@SquireSCA]

Yes, it's normal. The 2022 Speed Twin is the same way.

[@mcplutt]

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.

[@SquireSCA]

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]

@@SquireSCA 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.

[@SquireSCA]

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.

Excellent video!!! I’m trying to decide if I want to try tuning my 2018 Street Triple R 765 myself or habe the ecu flashed by DNK. 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. My problem Is not only do I want to adjust throttle position but because I’ve got a slip on and an aftermarket air cleaner (sprint P08) I need to mess with the fuel tables to fatten it up some because I’m sure it’s very lean now.

[@SquireSCA]

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.

[@cfltitan]

@@SquireSCA I’d greatly appreciate the help! I just ordered a used lenovo android tablet and the OBD2 blutooth device that you recommended. I’m an Apple guy so my phone or iPad won’t work. Lol My bike is a U.S. market (I live in Pennsylvania so unfortunately my riding season is over until spring 😔) 2018 Street Triple R 765. The last six of my vin is: 855129. Once I get the tablet I’m going to buy TuneEcu for it. It kinda sucks because I already spent the $100+ for DealerTool last year for pulling codes, resetting maintenance reminders and balancing my throttle bodies. The one big benefit I like about DealerTool though is that I can cycle my ABS pump to flush the fluid out. Thank you again very much for your help.

@@SquireSCA That’s weird. I know when I got my DealerTool there was something that it did that TuneEcu couldn’t. Maybe it was Syncing the throttle bodies?? Or maybe they added the ABS function since then? Either way I went that route because I don’t have any android devices and at the time I was just looking for something more maintenance related so DealerTool fit the bill and worked with my laptop. I really appreciate the help though. I know even being euro 4 it’s probably still on the lean side with a pipe and the high flow air filter. Plus I know they still put restrictions in them (especially in the R model to keep it under the RS).

[@alienonabike]

Hello! Came across your channel and videos while researching DNK. I have a 2013 bonnie with airbox removal and predator exhausts. I'm not sure if the previous owner did a tune for that. I also recently removed the SAI. Is there any way I can tell if it is still running on stock tune or if it was tuned?

[@SquireSCA]

If your 2013 bike uses the older Windows based version of TuneECU, and I think it does, then you should be able to read the map out of the ECU and compare it to a stock map.

@@SquireSCA since DNK is kinda pricey, I was looking at TTP tune 11. Do you have any insight on this? Really appreciate the reply

[@SquireSCA]

@@alienonabike Never heard of them, I will see what I can find. The thing to keep in mind, is do they share information on what their map does? Do they provide a dyno chart? Are they forthcoming with information, or is it vague and sounds like it was written by a marketing person? DNK isn't very transparent with how they make their maps. When people call her on it in forums, and they usually do, she posts a lengthy diatribe and leaves the forum... Real tuners that do quality work, don't act like that. They understand that people want to know what they are buying, and they will explain it to you, and give you something like a dyno chart to quantify their product and its results. If they aren't willing to do that, there is a reason.

SquireSCA you mentioned you have tuned your speed triple RS? I have the 2022 Speed Triple 1200RS and would love to tune and derestrict. Will this work for my bike? I really appreciate your videos. Big help.

[@SquireSCA]

The new Speed Triple RS isn't restricted the way this bike is. I already looked at your base map and the throttle restrictions are not there, so you are good to go. Now, depending on your mods, you might still benefit from a tune, but you will want to toss it on the dyno to see what it is doing, to determine what, if anything it might need from a tune.

[@williamonthewestside]

@@SquireSCA Thank you for checking. The bikes hit s a hard stop at max rpms (on Dyno), and there is a speed limiter (149mph?). Also feels like the over-rev past 7K rpms is slowed like a lack of fully open throttle bodies. If you find anything else, I appreciate it.

[@SquireSCA]

@@williamonthewestside Just pulled up the 2022 Speed RS 1200 map, and at least for the US and Canada, it gives you 100% throttle in Road and Sport, until 11,000rpm and then it backs down to 90.4%, but you are near redline anyway, so it's not really restricted. There is a top speed limiter, but you need TuneECU and have to pay extra to get rid of that... Honestly, naked bikes aren't much fun over 140mph anyway...

[@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?

[@SquireSCA]

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]

@@SquireSCA 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.

[@SquireSCA]

@@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]

​@@SquireSCA 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?

[@SquireSCA]

@@Automagine It really depends on what the tuner is comfortable using. TuneECU is the cheaper way for sure, but some tuners want to use The Dynojet Tuning-Link software in conjunction with a Power Commander... I would call around to different shops and see what options they are willing to work with..

If you've done the xpipe (decat) on a 2020 speed twin do you need to remove the o2 sensors? Stock end pipes currently

[@SquireSCA]

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.

[@SquireSCA]

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.

[@SquireSCA]

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.

There is nothing plug and play that will do anything meaningful. Anything you will likely want to do is flash the ECU. it's not hard, but you need to know a bit about what you are doing so that you don't mess anything up.

Use a Dremel type tool to cut that weld, and then use the proper size Torx bit to remove the screw, one on each muffler. Then spray some WD40 in between the muffler outlet and that baffle, grab some pliers and wiggle the baffles out. If you can't grip it well enough, then pop off the mufflers, insert a broom handle from the other end, and tap them out the exit ends. I got mine out with pliers, took 6 minutes.

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.

It can. I don't have access to one of those bikes to mess around with it, but if you do, then you could play around with the throttle maps, fuel trims, etc...

Yes, you can just use that map if you are outside of North America. I didn't unplug my headlight because I have an LED headlight that draws less power, but I did put a battery tender on it while doing the procedure. Download the map to your device and open it in TuneECU. Connect to the bike. Swipe 2 screens to the right from the fuel tables, and click on ECU and then Reprogram and it will walk you through it.

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. We will see if we can improve it, but there will always be some snatch in the throttle on these bikes...

If you fitted a full exhaust, then you NEED a tune.

Just looked at it, no restrictions to get rid of. If your tuner can work with ECU, toss it on the dyno and tune it. If he can't, then use TuneECU to disable O2 and SAI, flash the ECU, then install a Power Commander and have him tune it with that.

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...

Hi... so I've purchased TuneECU £25 in the uk, now I'm unsure which map to use for a Thruxton 1200 R with VIN 917360. Do i use the lower VIN for all countries 30041 or the higher that states Japanese Market 30263 ? Also I'm struggling to find an App that reads a Hex file?

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??

I mean, you can out Wideband sensors in the bungs and put it on the dyno and get readings if the sensors are plugged into the dyno, and then make your fuel edits in TuneECU... but there is no way for the ECU to use a Wideband sensor and auto tune the bike. There is an aftermarket system that does that, called RapidBike Evo. It tunes to an AFR though, not necessarily for best power. There is no magical AFR for any motor. Tuning to an AFR, will get you "good enough"...

Yeah, when the writer of TuneECU moved it from Windows to Android, he started charging for it a few years back. But you pay once, and you use it forever with all the updates included.

Hi, I’m not looking to change any other parts, I just want the bike to work with the increased performance promised by Akrapovic, the spec clearly stated that there is no re-map required, I have spent allot on the exhaust as it is for a 2006 bike due to the secondhand market being poor. If I could just get a map to unlock the performance promised then that would be good. The 20400 map states arrow or high aftermarket silencer, is this tailored too much towards the arrow?

[@SquireSCA]

@@jamesbye6251 The increased performance, needs a tune. Every maker of mufflers claims that it makes 5hp more with no fueling required. It's largely BS. You might get 1hp with no tuning. If the muffler changes the flow enough to give a significant increase in power, then it changes the flow enough that it will need some fueling changes. That's what the 20400 map, and the one I sent you is for. Arrow, Akra, M4, etc... Makes no difference. A 3" hole is a 3" hole, one slipon doesn't make more power than another if they are roughly the same size and length. Where they differ is sound, weight and looks, that's it. You can use 20400 as it is from TuneECU, or use the one that I sent, that just tweaks a couple things. I would use mine, if it were my bike. I didn't change the fueling, but my tweaks will help, as they pulled ignition timing on that motor up top. I put it back it.

The ride by wire tables are independent of the fuel tables. You don't have to refuel if you unrestrict it. There is only one set of fuel tables, for all ride modes.
