Tune ECU questions

[hoopla]

I just spoke with Rob's Dyno in Gardner mass and while he has tuned R3's he has some concerns about changes Triumph made after 2013.5.

He's more than willing to tune R3's and would be a great resource for us guys in the northeast if we can get over this hump.

His concerns are:

There are limited times you can flash the ECU, like 5 maybe

When inputting data into a cell, the data would go to the wrong cell

So my question is, is any of this true? Has Tune ECU been modified so this isn't a concern?

thanks

I may be wrong here, but I don't think so. The R3 ECU is unlocked and you can do whatever you want with it. Some of the other bikes in the Triumph line had locked ECUs but I don't remember what year it was started. I haven't heard of any issues with data going into the wrong cells. There have been quite a few dyno tuners (as well as owner loaded tunes) do tunes on these bikes and I don't recall that ever being mentioned

I have done a few built after 2013 and there was no such problem.
