TuneECU for 990 - got tunes?

My company car is an 09' 990R
stock headers and Leo Vincents cans
all smog stuff removed
PowerCommander4
just bought a Rottweiler filter system to install


No tuners/dynos in range. Decent mechanical skills.

When I remove the OEM filter system and install the Rottweiler,

What map do you suggest for me, considering my venue and lack of experience tweaking maps and values?


My priorities are 1. Reliability. 2. Fuel economy. 3. Decent in-flight movies :^)

Friends recently asked me what I would ride if I could buy ANY motorcycle made. I smiled, waited a minute to show them I was listening and replied, "I am already riding him."

Interesting. Is there a power commander thread out there. this thread discusses tune ecu maps for the most part. With the right settings the Rott system will put you on the rev limiter quick.
You will need ear plugs.

Talk to cpr about Autotune for the power commander. In theory you wont need a tune or a tuner...it will do it for you.

KTMbageera,

Rottweiler has the map. Check out their web site.

Help please!!! I had a computer die on me. I was running Vista and all was good.. New computer, and Windows 8.. Needless to say "8" has been a bit of a pain...

Downloaded Tunes onto my new computer, but I think I am having driver issues. I can not get it to connect. I thought I loaded every driver listed hoping I could get it to work, but nothing. I can see the small bar on the right corner, but it will not turn green.

I am far from being a computer guy.... and if anyone can help me with this... beer is on me.



Thanks Smitty

Mine was reluctant too. Things I did to get it to work

Try different usb port
Use the connect button and don't rely on auto connect
Switch ignition on and off--giving Tune ECU time to connect and give you the green.

Good luck

Kill switch got me last time. Got all hot and bothered about the new computer but as usual the problem was the loose nut behind the keyboard....

I forget what page it is on but some speed setting on my win8 made mine work. I posted it as a tip to remember some where back in April or May.

This might be the post Mike is referring to.

Well, so far no luck getting connected.. Is there a easy way to remove all the drivers I have tried to use... And maybe start over... What a pain in the a$$ Windows 8 is.... Plus,I would be better at brain surgery, than computer stuff. If brain surgery went bad, I could just put the body's in the crawl space with the others....


Anyone in the St. Louis area a IT guru.....

I'm in the St Louis area but it is mostly by accident that I get soft ware to work. After re thinking, I am not on win 8 but rather 7. The additional easy to use version is probably your issue. Just keep asset it, it will go.

If you have a copy of windows xp or windows 7. There is nothing stoping you from installing the free virtualbox software and run windows xp or 7 virtually under windows 8.

Completely free, gets the job done.

Smitty, I run Win7 under virtualbox on a Mac and it worked fine for me without any driver installation. You just have to identify the OBDII USB under virtualbox and then use that usb under TuneECU. Should work the same way running virtualbox under Win systems.

The operating system, win 8, resides on one partition and all your changes or goofs on the other. Restoring does not remove your operating system like it did on earlier windows.

On my machine you press a button on the side of the computer and it starts the procedure to erase and reinstall, Bestbuy Lenova. The computer is returned to new. Good thing is it's just like you bought it...bad thing is all you have installed or saved is lost.

If your only problem is with TuneECU uninstall that program and then study a bit and reinstall being very careful. I know easy to say. I have spent many many hours studying and working on my win 8 lap top.

The only way I have figured things out is to have my Mac going and watch utube on how to do things in win 8. I then work on the win 8 stuff while pausing the Mac video and back. Pain but it works.

I am only having trouble connecting to TuneEcu. I don't want to return all my setting to new.. I am going to un-install everything and start over. I do think it is all in the drivers.

On my old computer when I downloaded the drivers then unhooked from my internet connection. Plugged my cable to keep window from auto loading the drivers it thinks I need.

Well, I forgot that part this time and just plugged my cable in. There is a un-install link on the TuneEcu site and will try that..

Thanks guys for your help...

I'm done fuggin up my primary OS.

Well boys...I may apply for a IT job in my next life. After deleting the drivers and other crap i tried... I went step by step off the Tune site. After doing every step.. guess what.. It still did not work... On the edge of snapping my new laptop in half...I stepped back and took a breath.

I was just clicking on the top tabs of the Tune Ecu screen and came to the option tab.... Two choices.... Serial or USB...

Serial was checked. After highlighting USB and a quick click the USB was locked in.

A quick click to the connect tab, and I am Tuning...

Was this the problem from the start??? Maybe, or maybe not. I did not see this option anywhere in the instruction or setup, but I may have just missed it. As of now, I really do not need it the program. But I just like to have stuff ready just in case. Now for that new HIGH paying IT job..

Thanks for all the help,
Smitty

Good job man... yep i think you may found it on your own, i haven't come across that one yet...
I have a $200 XP laptop dedicated for tunning, that just plain works so i don't mess with it.

One thing i would suggest for 1st hookups is get the map of your bike put it in a folder of its own and never put or save any other maps in it!

Get very familiar with the software learn how to compare maps and all the functions there before loading maps.

no IT guy here, just gotta know how shit works, personality disorder i guess....

Hi

HELP

Pull up katoom map, which will switch graphics.
