I've been happy with the performance of my stock 2015 R3T and I was aware of the post that started this thread long ago but I put off considering this until today as I get ready to get my bike out after the long winter months. I do have the proper TuneECU cable but I haven't used TuneECU yet. (I have used DealerTool to balance my throttle bodies and bleed the ABS.) After I bought the bike, I glanced at the TuneECU website and it all looked pretty confusing so I put off messing with the map for the time being. (I seem to remember seeing a "TuneECU for Dummies" somwhere and I'll try to find that if I use the map mentioned in this thread.
Before I do anything, I want to make sure I understand what this map involves. I apologize if these are dumb questions but I'm completely new to this mapping stuff. If I'm understanding this correctly, with the map described in the original post (I haven't read the entire long thread), can I expect an increase in HP and torque as well as an increase in mileage at highway speeds. Is that correct?
My second question is if there are any trade-offs. Do I lose any low-end torque that the R3T is known for? Or is this one of those rare things that is all positive with no negatives involved. If so, I see no reason why not to use this map - unless a better one has surfaced since this thread was started. I just don't like the idea of the engine being restricted for no good reason.
Advice would be greatly appreciated to help me decide whether to change my map and how to get started doing it.
