'07 TuneECU Map reviews and musings

Am I correct in thinking that SAS removal wouldn't effect the map at this point given the O2 sensors are off?

The SAS is turned off also, so you can remove them if you want. But, it won't change anything. Maybe make the bike lighter.

BTW, the brown wire (I think it's brown) is under the seat, near the left side of the sub-frame, a few inches behind the tank. It is just a loop of wire hanging out of the main harness with a connector.

Thank you Zuber! After 11 years of biking on a 990 (ok, not too much in the last 3years) I enjoy biking again. My top favorite was the 950 and I've really missed it's smooth, predictive but power throttle response. You just gave it back in like 80% - and that's enough to make me smile again.
I've uploaded your latest map but after 1 full tank I've changed to the O2 on version. The consumption with the original Zuber 3 was like 30% higher than the otherwise awful original 2007 map. After turning the O2 sensors on the most of the smoothness has remained - but the consumption seems to be around the same as with the 2007 factory map - around 37-40 MPG.
The bike is a 2006 EU 990 with everything in stock condition. I've used 3 tanks and so far so good.
I'm still having some rare glitches with my idle but it's a long story not depending on maps I'm using. Sometimes it remains high around 2000rpm when the engine is hot.
Anyway your map rocks!

Hey guys, got a little problem :-/ bought used akrapovič exhaust 2in1, loaded map for EU version 990Adventure year 07-08 with akrapovič exhaust (yes it fits, the bike is originaly from Austria and it is 07) but when i start up the bike after loading new map the revs go up to 4-5k rpm, after few seconds they drop to normal idle, BUT when i try to ride, right after i turn the gas grip the revs go back to 4-5k rpm and wont drop until stoped.... any ideal? im hoping for some gone wrong adaptation or something .... btw i changed ONE thing in the map i downloaded from tuneecu, the o2 sensors were OFF, i did not removed them, so i turned them back on, could be the problem?

Check the TPS voltage. That's typically what causes bad idle.
When you change a map, it resets the adaptation variables. I'm guessing it cleared out the variable that adjusted the TPS voltage.

okay, thanx for tip, must be some "adaptation gone wrong" kind of thing, everything is connected, the bike runs, but it holds high rpm ...
btw the TPS sensors are new from last year, the rear one was almost dead..

According to my experiences the 15min adaptation is usually not enough, just helps you to start with the bike. For me there were idle issues even after 300kms but they are getting better and better. I literally had no idle in the first 30-40kms. So I advise to spend some time on the bike after a map change on relatively calm roads and only start troubleshooting if this is not helping - after 1-2 full tanks.

It may be a stupid question, but removing the SAS system could NOT have relations with the high idle, Am i right?

Ye that could be a problem, you know ... the bike holds the 4-5k rpm when you try to ride it, first gotta figure this out, you cant realy ride calmly when the bike is constantly pushing you with its high rpm

I've also experienced high idle RPMs too -2000-3000 even- and the bike is fully original with SAS and all the stuff. And yes I've also turned O2 sensors on as my mileage (kmage?) were quite bad without them.

I also needed to use the clutch a lot. That's why I suggested calm back roads.

Like Zuber said first:
1.- Check TPS (Set 0.6 Volts warm engine)
2.- Whith TUNEECU adjust throttle cable free play.
3.- Tune ecu reset adaptation.
4.- 15 min.
Done

Pulpo has it. I've been there, done that, it works. I did at one point replaced my TPS as issue kept popping up. 10,000 miles later still good.

Dunno if helepd that i replaced akrapovic map with original, but after that throtle adjustment in tuneecu the engine started normaly with the right rpm... If there is anyone with 2in1 setup with sas removed (including canisterctomy) with adventure 07 from europe, would love to see what map you are using. Now im back to stock map + 15min adaptation

can the bike run with default map and adaptation with no long term problems? few people do run "sport" exhaust on stock fuel map and say that bike is good :) sorry for soooooo many stupid questions, but this is my first FI bike that im kinda "tuning" :) had all carbs before 990 :)

already read some thread on this forum, but the pictures showing A/F ratio are already gone... so i cannot see what they achieved... some ppl say that its OK to run open exhaust with stock map, and some say it is dangerous ... dunno what to think

This is really important. Even when the engine's warm, often after switch on the idle stepper would reach a position sligthly higher then the idle position (1450rpm).

@Micin I have an '07 EU model with 2in1 and Akra can.
I've used the Akra map for years with the only downside of the fuel consumption.
Now I'm using Zuber's map no.1 and it's much better. Mind you that Zuber1 has stock fueling.

where can i get Zuber's map? :) might be worth a try :)

Scroll this thread a few pages back.
Zuber has shared his maps as gpx files. Download them and change the file extension from .GPX to .HEX

page 11 - post 216 - zuber1, a little leaner than stock
page 12 - post ? - zuber3, more leaner

I'm not sure if you should check the TPS at a running engine
