Dino-tuning '06 Ulysses

[RevrdMark]

So I bought a used '06 Ulysses at had a Jardine exhaust on it. I don't think any new "mapping" or modifications were done to adjust for the new exhaust. As it is now it pops and bangs on deceleration especially going downhill. There is a semi local motorcycle Dino-tune expert that comes in town once or twice a year that can do a tune but I can not for the life of me find a plug to tap into the ECU to make any changes. I do know that the Harley V-twins do run a different program to tune them but I'm wondering if the 06 is able to be tuned if I can't find a plug.

Anyone know where or if it has one? ( pictures would help!). On my speed triple it was very easy to find right next to the ECU under the seat but I've looked everywhere on the Uly and no luck.

remove your seat exposing battery and ecm area. look to the right and slightly aft of the battery and you'll find a gray colored plug with black rubber protective cap over its end. that is the diagnostics/ecm access plug. see attached photo.
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT: when having your ulysses "Dino-Tuned" as you mentioned and titled your post...be absolutely certain that the tuner is using the Velociraptor Software for the tuning session......or results will be catastrophic.

i do ricky and damn proud of it. no vino 125 pilot ensemble complete without "Chuck's action shorts."

Dave, what are you trying to get...lol. if you owned a pair of action shorts you would know that he spelled Dyno wrong. Just get yourself a pair of action shorts before you come down here for your track day. Don't get caught in the pits or at tech without action shorts.

roger that dave on wallys' suggestion of "action shorts". when wally frequents his local NJMSP he and his entire entourage decked out in "action shorts". i was unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of him.....well..........you'll see.....

Thanks John, I only have one eye and that was an image I could of lived without, lol.

 

[wickedchop]

Sorry John........I was in the corner of my shower crying, trying to wash the pain away from that picture.

This thread has gone terribly wrong

Soooo... Back on topic. I've had this Uly. For about 5 months. The guy I purchased it from (2nd owner) did not know a lot about the original owners Mods. He did say it has a EBR race ECU Since I was new to the buell world I assumed that meant re-mapping the stock ECU. But I guess that really meant purchasing a pre programmed ECU and plugging it in. I am assuming that the ECU was installed before the Jardine exhaust since it pops so much on deceleration. There is no diagnostic plug on the ECU so I think I may have to shell out the $300 for a new programmed ECU from EBR with Jardine mapping. Since there is no diagnostic plug can I reset the TPS or do I have to have Harley dealer do that?

Find a service manual for your bike at www.buellmods.com
That should help you find the diagnostic plug.
I did a quick Google search and found this:

If your bike truly doesn't have a diagnostic plug I'd really question the road worthiness of the electronics/wiring.

Found it! The plug was tucked up under the air box cover and behind the head of the rear shock!

Well the popping on decel for on my 09 Uly has been consistent while it was totally stock, then with a K&N AF, then a special ops exhaust, then in 2014 a new ECM and tune from Harley. Maybe a custom tune can alleviate it? I am ok with it, when riding in a group the bike behind knows when i am slowing down so for me it is a good thing.
