I just got my cable and small disk in the mail

Now what do I do next. I have installed Jardine pipes and going to install the 5 K&N filters I got from Flip. I waited to install the filters until I got the tune cable because I was told it would run to lean. I have put apx. 175 miles on the pipes. It runs OK...
I will install the filters tomorrow.

Please bare with me..I am an Ol'man and struggle with computers


Thanks in advance

Were here for you ! (although were old too) Lupe is going to say he isn't. HA !
 
Joey,
first thing,
throw the disc away, unless of course you intend to tune audi's and vw's.
I'm in the same boat you are.
Trying to understand all this computer crap.
Fred said that like he's old or something, he ain't.
I've met him, he probably don't even remember "pong",
we played it when it first came out in the commasery at college.
I can't tell you much, go to the TuneECU site and download the program
for Triumphs.
warp 9.9 and Hanso seem to be the experts here.
I apparently downloaded a bunch of tunes I don't need.
When you get the program downloaded you'll see a box,
or chart with a bunch of colors on it.
That means you've actually downloaded the program the way I understand it.
If you already downloaded the Triumph tunes too, that won't hurt anything,
you just have to scroll down to get to the number of the one you want to "load".
First you'll need to save your stock tune in a folder on your desktop,
so make a folder for the TuneECU files, and a folder that says "Stock tune",
put them on your desktop so you'll be ready when somebody comes along that can teach us more.
good luck.
That's where I'm at right now waiting on a good cable to get here.
Scott (warp9.9) was trying to lead me through it when we found out my cable wasn't any good,
so now I'm waiting on another,
hopefully he'll have the time to lead one of us through this mess.
A numerical post that leads us old codgers through it, step by step would sure help huh?
ex:
1) go to TuneECU site, download Triumph tunes into desktop folder
marked TRIUMPH TUNES
2) download program.
3) hook up cable to computer and bike.
4) turn key on.
etc........
Hans has a TOR's tune he says is a good one,
can't wait to figure all this out so we can get our bikes running just right...

on second thought, don't throw the mini disc away
till somebody tells ya to that knows something about all this crap.
We'll get it figured out with our friends help.
We may be old, but we aren't senile.....;)
 
me too

I'm so old I remember when crack was something you STROKED, not smoke
I remember when the only moose I knew about was a cartoon charactor that had a side kick called Rocky the flying squerrel.

I couldn't have said it better myself, you have listened well my Buddy, yes do throw the disk away it is no use for your triumph and TuneECU
Old who's old.... as long as you are young in heart!
 
Thanks

LOL....I got good socks older than most of you here:p My mind think I am still young, my body tells me otherwise. I was married with children when they nagged me to buy a thing called a Commador 64:eek: I have hated puters ever since

Hanso

Not sure I would throw the disc out just yet. That is all I'm using. I never downloaded the FTDI driver and mine is working good.

Hey Skip, did you ever look at the number on the chip in your cable ? Kind of a moot point now. Would be interested to know what the number is on the one that doesn't work.
 
OMG......:confused:

I just open something at the ECU tune site. That is some scary stuff.. My old white rasianetts just got alot smaller

I might as well try to fly a 747.... This is going to take awhile
