[HansO]

Excuse me if I am going crazy but I thought I read some where about a 12 minute self tune, what is it a d how do U do it

Start the bike WITHOUT TOUCHING THE THROTTLE.
Let it warm up, till the fan comes on.
Leave it for 12 minutes.
Turn it off.

You're kidding, right?

What is this supposed to accomplish? And how is it accomplished?

Or.. delete the O2 sensor & not waste your time..IMO all it does is gradually screw up your tune at low revs.( Its trying to lean it up)

Now, I've wondered about that but haven't really looked into it too deep but why not just adjust the O2 variables to how you want them so it doesn't screw up your tune. After all, that's what the sensor is there for and if TuneBoy allows you to modify the target O2, why not use it?

The main purpose of the 12 minute tune is to reset the adaptives. The ECU has the limited ability to adapt the tune to the riding style and condtions, over a period of time. When you load anew tune or if you want to go back to the default settings, the 12 minute tune will do it for you. Or if you have Tuneboy,you can use it to "Reset The Adaptives." Same result.

Well.. there's your answer:smile:

You mean the 12 minute tune is not just another way for Triumph mechanics to pad their labor bill??
