ECMspy, megalog tunning

[Blaylock1988]

Haha, yeah an SSD would do the trick.

In Megalog, what is the difference between the different cell change difficulties?

Have to say it IS time consuming but very rewarding! Bike runs after 4 times logging allready much smoother, ore should i say crispier.

Great write-up and credits to the writer

I have a question for the experts...

I followed each step but I get some errors

Let's start with the fact that I have uploaded the race fuel map into my eeprom, went for a test ride and checked that everything was ok.

Than connected the laptop to the bike and went again for a ride but this time with Ecmspy logged in in order to get real data, after let's say 20-30 minutes of riding taking care to use all the gears and at different rmp I decided to ride back home.

Than next step I run the file I got from Ecmspy into Megalog, following the instruction for the setting and run the analyzer, got the new map with some new value, made same changes and save the new map.

Now here comes the problem when I upload the new map into EcmSpy and I check the map I have strange values with zero and low values all over the map in different position.

I did 2 different test and got different results using the same starting file ....

Anybody had same problem? ever got such result?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a copy of megalog viewer? When i go to their website the only one available is the 2.99 and doesn't seem to be the same as what everyone else is using? It won't let you open MSQ files?

I am new to this...just received my cord today, reset my TPS, and want to tune my bike but I can't seem to get megalog viewer working.

 

[ksavage]

Okay, nevermind.... I figured it out. I need to open the log file first....

I have been doing some tuning over the last week. This is my first time doing this. I bought my 2006 Xb12Ss a couple months ago, and it came with a Jardine Exhaust. (No air mods) and i thought I would tune it to eliminate the back firing. Anyways I did a couple logs and changes them in Megatuner with VE Analyser, and burned them to the ECM. Everything worked great, the bike started running better. I then moved on to step 2, and unchecked the open loop, changed the open loop inrich delay to zero, and changed the AFV range to 100 on both sides. I did this a couple times as the instructions, and again everything seemed to be working better. The last time I was out when I was logging my bike started acting funny. It will start jerking and the RPM guage will be jumping all over the place, then the bike will die. I will have to load my original map and put back all the settings to the original, then the bike will work fine again. I have tried this twice now and it always ends in the same result....me on the side of the road trying to get the bike started. It doesn't matter what map I put back on the bike, it doesn't seem to work until I put back the open loop learn, open loop enrichment delay, and AFV range.

Has anyone else had this problem? I really want to tune my bike but this is really becoming an issue....


Please help

I can't speak to tuning with ECMSpy, as it's distribution is no longer allowed.

With that said, I have not experienced this same result with TunerPro. This is not to say that it wouldn't occur, only that I have yet to see it in the 20-30 bikes I have tuned. Perhaps you should flash back to stock, move to TunerPro, and try again?

 

[bttrfngrz]

alright, so i have been following this tune guide closer then the amish to the old word. i cannot get a good tune out of it, i've taken countless test rides and data aquisition rides and it goes totally bonkers with the ve adjusting.. and the maps it's giving me are weird. i wouldn't say anything and keep tuning, but today megalog wouldn't allow me to load my most recent msq. this is kicking my ass. i'm trying to get this knocked out before the first snow flies. which is pretty much at the end of this month. anyone have any good tunes for a gutted pipe? xb9r? i would love to just see the front and rear maps and i can take the time to change my numbers over. the buell race maps run rich as heck on my bike.

a quick question to be sure that i dont mess up my maps , "When you return from your ride, run the VE analyzer and make the change to your map. You will probably get a lot of red numbers but thats ok megalog is just trying to get stoich "

does this mean that i should return the red values back to the original ones or should i just leave them red and save the map?

thanks for the help

Red means that they have been changed. Scroll over them to see how much they have changed from the original map. I think one of the guides I read said anything within 15 is probably safe. Just look for anything out of the ordinary - large changes with no other changes around that entry.

Thanks for this guide!! I just did maps for my S3 based off a 15 minute log. I had been getting a head temp sensor alarm (not anymore -get to that shortly)but figured I'd give it a shot just to get the process down. I'm running a race air cleaner setup & a supertrapp w/21 discs & race ecm mapping. My AFV was routinely in the 116 range & the bike felt anemic below 4500rpm.

Recently, as the temps warmed up in my neck of the woods, I'd get what seemed to be a rev limit spark cutout occasionally. Especially after stopping or real slow riding. It would fart & pop, too like a lean condition (which it was). Then, this week it got worse & started throwing a eng. temp sensor short to supply voltage alarm. I ordered a new sensor & socket & went for a short datalogging ride. After I was done, I came back & looked at this guide then played around in megalogviewer & made new maps. I figured what the hell, bikes messed up anyway, I'll load them in & give it a shot.

Well, I can't believe the difference it made. The bike pulls really well from 3000 straight to redline! No slingshot effect at 4500 anymore, either. It feels like a completely different bike & I love it! It's the bike I wanted. The AFV is around 105 now & I think the map needs fattening up in the lower rpms. I'm going to ride & log a bit, make new maps, see what that does & proceed to step 2.

Again, thanks for posting this guide, it helped immensely!!

So I think I loaded a race map. I did the cut and paste method. How do I tell if I actually did it right. The bike feels more responsive but I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me. Also, I have windows 7 and I tried the logging but I didn't see the maps files in the Program files/kennfeld. There was a dummy file. I am sorry for all the questions. I have read this whole thread and I didn't understand it all.

 

[knwyman]

Crescent -Can you give a bit more info as to how you loaded the race maps? Did you first pull a copy of your eeprom & save it in a safe place?

As for the logging problem, you need to look in the megalog folder. If you don't see that folder, re-install ecmspy to your desktop. On my windows 7 machine, it was installed into the x86 directory & I could not access the megalog folder.

I fetched maps from my bike first time now and they looked like this.

How is it possible that there is so much difference between the cylinders? And the front cylinder is leaner. If I make the fuel maps match each other, should I make timing maps match too? There is kinda big difference too in some rpms. Bike is xb9s -06 with race ecm, jardin, k&n and breather re-route.

I know this is a bad place to ask this question because you guys really like to take full control of you the running, but I was wondering... why couldn't I just flash one of your maps to my bike's computer? Or a generic race map. Is every bike just too different? I apologize if my post is out of place. I'm new to this site as this is my first post. But I've have my 2009 xb12scg for 2 years now and I've admired the moding you guys have been doing for a while. I'm trying to learn... it's just alot to wrap my head around. Is there a post that properly explains what kind of basic mods would be good to get a good performance increase out of a stock bike?

 

[Mark XB12r]

Hey FNG! hahaha! thats you new guy... Its done all the time... If you have a race map then have at it. What this thread is meant to teach is how to get that perfect tune for the particular, intake, exhaust, spark plugs, and whatnots and soooooforth...

 

[Sidwyz]

Ok - as a highly mechanically inclined individual I thank you and curse you ! Kinda like thanking the "crack man " I guess.
I have nt started with the logging and tuning yet, for fear of becoming addicted. Great info definitely plan to start once I decifer all this Greek. I am hoping once I download ecmspy I will understand the terms better and grasp what this is all about. Thanks for a starting point .

Need some help. Running MacBook Pro with Parrelles and windows XP. ECMSPY is the only program i'm using windows for. I can get it up and running and talking with the bike just fine. I did the TPS reset I think and moved on to the AFV reset I noticed something. When I hit TPS reset or AFV set the closed loop window closes and the keys button doesn't stay depressed. What is going on? If its not doing the TPS reset that would explain why my bike has been running like crap since I started this!!

How do you keep the keys depressed? Please help!

 

[18DPA]

Update. Installed windows 7 on a new vitrual machine. Does the exact same thing. I can get it to read the bike, throttle blips show up, can dial the TPS up and down with the throttle screw, download EEPROMS and fuel maps etc. But when I hit the TPS reset or the AFV set it turns off the little window and the keys button pops up. No change to the AFV or the cold start enrichment numbers.
