System requirements:
-
Computer:
PC or Netbook , running Windows (XP, Vista, Windows
7, Windows 8 (32 or 64 bit),
except Windows8 RT, USB 2.0 or better.) 1024x576 display and NET Framework (XP only)
Vers. 2.0 and upwards. -
Cable for
connecting to the dedicated 16-pin diagnostic plug of the Engine
Control Module (ECM
Sagem and Keihin models):
USB/OBDII cable with FTDI chip set and associated CDM (D2XX) ver. 2.06.00 drivers or higher.
Note: for Windows 8 from driver vers. 2.08.28, select here the driver package for manual installation.
Drivers limitation for the USB-Tuneboy-cable:
The TuneBoy cable works only with the ancient FTDI driver from TuneBoy's own site.
The hardware id of TuneBoy cable is different vs. a generic/TuneECU FTDI cable.
So even though both cables have same chip, TuneBoy cable needs the matching driver. - For Aprilia ECU's, additional components are required, follow this link.
- For KTM ECU's, additional components are required, follow this link.
- For
Benelli ECU's, additional
components are
required,
follow this link.
- For Walbro ECU:
only a serial cable RS232, a serial port on the computer, and AMP-Super-Seal-connector-6pin
is required.
Maybe You need nor a USB/RS232-converter. This converter is required if your computer has no
serial interface (RS232) has.
| Recommendation: You get a working cable, for example from here: Lonelec UK
Enter under search the term TuneECU.

on a MAC computer ?
You will need a way to run Windows (preferably XP) on your Mac. This can only be done on those
running an Intel Processor (so if you've got a (very) old one, you're out of luck).
There are different ways to do this:
- Dual boot (Bootcamp)
- Virtualbox
- VMware Fusion
- Parallels
cable driver is installed correctly in Windows.
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:

6.
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.
