I have all the parts for my Stage 1 including a TTS Mastertune. I'm wondering how many forum members have done the Mastertune calibration install themselves and what was your experience.

I may be niave but I am hoping to install the pipes, AC, and file myself and avoid a dyno tune. Steve at TTS sent me his reccomendations for which calibration file to install so I am good there.

I watched the Youtube video and it's looks like a simple job.

I'm just hoping to get some DIY advice going into the job rather than during or after. Thanks for any help.

 

Have you asked over on HTT? Lots of TTS users over there. I've read the manual, but haven't actually played around with one yet.

 

It's pretty simple.

Load the software onto your laptop, run the updater. Plug the laptop into the bike via the dongle and save the stock map. Program in the desired map. If you want to V-Tune, you'll need to create a tuning map, then load that into the bike. Record your runs and make your tune.

The important things to remember are to do everything in the order it's supposed to be done (common sense, but still), don't forget to finalize your map before you load it back into the bike, and devise a tuning plan for your V-Tune runs.

The best way to get all your cells filled in is to head to the mountains, that way you can really load the bike at all rpms. Since tuning is via kPa now rather than throttle position, you have to really plan your runs and know what you need to do to get all your cells. Do a run and look at your results, you'll understand once you see all the yellow.

At any rate, it's a really neat tool that can do a lot for your bike. It's relatively easy to use, and will give you great results.

 

I've been curious as well. Is TTS all software? Is there any hardware to install?

How can the TTS autotune with the stock narrowband sensors?

 

Software only. No hardware except for the interface used during ECM changes.


TTS does not autotune. TTS uses their own "V-Tune" software.

 

Thanks

 

Steve, we will chat about this tomorrow when I stop by. I have a TTS myself, and haven't used it since I upgraded my SERT to the TTS. My bike has ran well with the original SERT tune/map and tweaking I've done, and since I'm getting new exhaust I figured I'd wait until then to run the V-tune. I've read it's a piece of cake to use, for us non tuners. I did pretty damn well with my SERT and tuning it myself. So, I'm sure we'll be fine with the TTS. See you in the a.m.

 

Does anyone know if there is a feature for comparing calibration tables? Can't find anything in the manual.

 

For comparing the pre-loaded maps and such? Not that I'm aware of.

 

I read the instructions and was still confused or nervous so I had my kid help me and he installed the canned map for me.

I have an 05, no 02 sensors that I know of. Can I use the V-Tune?
