!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ FIRST !!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Read the "Map Edit section" of the
User Manual carefully and familiarise yourself thoroughly
with the program before you begin!
2.
Resist the temptation to
fiddle
before you know what you are doing!
3.
Ensure you
have the correct tune
for the VIN range of
your bike and its specification!
4. If you are not an expert in
tuning EFI systems, keep to the Triumph OEM tunes or recommended
alternatives and resist the temptation to
modify them!
5. If you are in doubt ask
an expert. E.g. on the following partner forums:

Do not download tune maps
to/from
the ECM without
first ensuring your
motorcycle battery is
adequately charged,
your lights are disabled by
removing the appropriate fuse, the 16-pin
cable is
connected to both your PC/Laptop and
the 16-pin diagnostic plug of the Engine Control
Module
(ECM) and the ignition is on!
Occasionally it happens that the download is interrupted, although we have kept strictly to the
instructions.
It turns out that it comes to these interruptions, when the battery voltage falls below 12,5 volts,
even when connected a battery charger. Apparently the power of modern chargers is not sufficient
to avoid a voltage drop.
It works perfectly when a second 12-volt
car battery is connected.
7. Basically:
make sure the TuneECU or the Tunes are not stored in too deep directory
(this may lead
to the firing of the ECU!) or the map is
not even loaded.
Negative
Example: c: / tune / ecu / my / triumph / ecu / maps / to
/ I / myself have created /Tuneecu.exe or
xyzabc.hex.
Please store the map for
example in: C: \ Tune or D: \ Tune
Please store the program
and the "TuneLibrary.dll" in: C: \ Program Files \ TuneECU
This ensures that
everything works.
