Tuning My 08???

[Flatout]

So I finally decided to try and play with ECMSPY on my bike and maybe play with the tune to get it slightly better especially in the cruise range. Mine studders when cruising in the 2K-2.5K. Only mod is a D&D pipe with the factory ECM and programming. Ok so I hook up to the diagnostic/tuning plug with my cable, open ECMSPY no connection, installed driver now connecting. Fetch EEPROM and save just fine, then try to do same for maps and realize I can't the fetch maps is grayed out. Quickly find out through searching that I will actually have to buy/donate to get ECMSPY mono in order to tune...

Worth it? Maybe but I don't have funds for that so searching leads me to TunerPro RT. Download it and begin reading on how to set everything up. Find all proper ADF XDF files etc. Fast forward to today when I connect to bike everything is working and communicating I start my first log. I've got blue connected box and then goes green when I start log... AWESOME! Go for a 20+ minute ride, balancing my Surface Pro in drawstring bag because one of the straps broke... Dang my luck, anyway the log was a success because I'm still alive, computer too, and the log is still on when I stop. Stop the log and save...

Now is where I am stuck, I cannot get the history tables to show the data. I know it worked because if I export and open in Excel it has all of the data from the log. My TPS is showing 10-bit, but everything I've read for ECMSPY and TunerPro RT shows 8-bit TPS data... I'm not sure where to go from here, tried Megalog Viewer (lite) again do not have money for the full version. I tried to use TunerPro RT MSQ Fuel Map Maker for MegaLog Viewer with no success as well. I will probably at some point register MLV so I can use VE Analyzer method described in the sticky on this board.

Does anyone know how to use TunerPro RT and willing to assist me with this tuning endeavor. I understand the principles enough to get me into trouble, but seems I am having a hard time with the software. Or if someone has an 08+ that they have successfully tuned using the free version of ECMSPY. Also open to opinions for other options as long as they are inexpensive. I like the idea of being able to create my own new maps, plan on an open airbox and eventually a K&N and want to get the best bang out of those parts and more importantly driveability and smooth response.

Is it only the history tables that don't work? What about the Dashboard, Data List, and Monitors?

Did the history tables work when viewing live data (as opposed to a log playback)?

No I did not have any of those. Well I had some live data info, not history table info or monitors

If you are using the free version of ECMSPY it doesn't work on 08+ models. You'll need the donate version of ECMSPY, TunerPro or ECMDroid (if you have a Bluetooth module and an Android device).

Go here for Bluetooth if you decide to go that route. As well as Xoptiinside.com for the maps

Thanks, yes I understand the need to donate for a useable version of ECMSPY FOR MY 08. This is why I stumbled to Tunerpro RT, but am kind of stuck now because I cannot view data recorded for some reason (read operator error/lack of knowledge)

I've used Xoptiinside.com for Xdf and Adf files needed for Tunerpro as well as his how-to setup. Unfortunately I cannot find anyone who has developed a how-to/ DIY write-up for tuning via RT to help me reprogram my maps. Only have a D&D but would like to find a Race can, and convert to K&N open box. This is why I'm wanting to learn how to DIY tune!

There are quite a few how to's out there, just have to do some digging.

Hey Flatout, are you still trying to figure this out? I may be in the same boat soon as I have an 08 with the BUEZD firmware. Been playing around in TP RT, just got my bike connected and saved the bin file. My bike however is currently in pieces and engine laying in pieces on bench. Once its back together with the 1250 kit and some head massage work, it will need lots of tuning. I have found how to show the data history (mines blank because battery disconnect) but I have also found how to edit the hex to show proper TPS values and RPM values.

Yes I have played with it and found a few maps to use as base for my mods. I need to register MegalogViewer so that I can use the VE Analyzer, but I have had moderate improvement with the base map definitely more power up top. My low/mid range seems to have suffered my guess is from the open airbox (stock filter).
