This is a double post as this was a reply in the vehicle diagnostic scan tool/direct-link ECM ...
thread. I hope this isn't a problem but I thought it would be better to start a new thread just for ECMspy because this software is just so darn cool, and FREE!

All I can say is WOW!

I have it working and it works just amazing. Setting up the cable, loading the drivers, and getting the software to work with it was a little work but nothing too tough. The software itself is just plain awesome! Simple, easy to use and understand.

A TPS Reset is so simple. For less money than one trip to the dealer for a TPS reset you can make your own cable and do it any time you want. In addition you can reconfigure your fuel mapping and lots of other stuff. Also you can save your current mapping very easily so if you make any changes you can go right back to where you started if there are any problems.


It was mentioned that a Dyno is a must but that's not exactly true. Another option is to instal a wide band O2 sensor and a logger. Then you can log the info from your TPS, RPM, Speed and O2 and make adjustments to the fuel map as needed. It is true that just making adjustments by just guessing where and how much to change can get you into trouble and fast, but there is another option besides the dyno. The thing I like about the wide band O2 setup is then you can monitor and adjust any time you need to.

This is exactly the solution I was looking for. I would have bought one of the other set ups but nothing ticked me off more than the high price just for the ability to use it with only one ECM. ECM spy works with any number of ECM's and the software is free. Can't beat that with a stick!

I thought I would mention that I have no connection to the people who came up with ECM Spy. I found out about this program from this web site and think it is just awesome. I started thinking that I may sound like I have a vested interest in getting people to use ECM spy and wanted to make sure everyone knows I do not. It's great, easy to use, and best of all the software is free! There is a little monkeying around getting a cable and connector but even then you'll only be into it for $50 or so.

I've pretty much done the same as Stevensue. Uploaded the fuel maps and TPS reset. I've played around with the fuel mapping but have not saved any changes. I have not made any mods yet and I do not have the wide band O2 installed so there is no reason for me to make any changes to the fuel map yet. If you've played with ECM Spy yet though you know how simple all of it is.

I have heard that ECM spy can be used on a palmpilot, is this true? Is it fairly easy to use? What do I all need to make this work and where do I get it?

Bloose
10-11-2007, 01:38 AM
This is correct, they do have a version for the Palm. I have not tried it though. I will at some point but I haven't yet. In order to use it you need to make a cable which again I have not done yet. Using a Palm device with ECM Spy would be especially helpful because you could have it on the bike while your riding.

I too have ordered the cable and connectors for PC hook-up, but would prefer to use my Palm T/X instead, but first must find the proper cable. I have an extra ECM plug ordered in anticipation of finding a Palm cable.

I have an '08 and have been told by people smarter than me that the program as written may not be compatible unless changes are made.

I think that it will be a great tool for the "home" tuner, especially if used with a O2 wide band sensor and a data logger.

Anyone have any luck getting it to work on the 12X?

Thx

I don't think it should really matter as to what buell it is as long as it has the 4pin deutsch connector. That and if you made the plug right.

teh Nub
07-22-2008, 04:08 PM
Buellysses,

It sounds like you are having more of a problem of getting the computer to connect. There are some drivers that need to be installed for everything to function correctly. I just built my cable and plan to try and hook it up when I get home from work. Hopefull I can get it figured out...

Buellysses
07-22-2008, 04:24 PM
I didn't build the Deutsch connector. I spliced a female serial cable into the wiring harness.

I am an electronics guy, so I have faith in myself getting it connected properly. It did take a little digging as to what the ECM referred to as RX or TX (if it was supposed to be rx-tx or tx-tx, rx-rx) As best I can tell the RX from the cable is connected to the TX of the ECM and vice-versa. (give me a break for such a stupid question, it's been a while since I was in school)

I got the FTDI cable, so once I get my bike back I'll give it another shot. When I was trying it before my boo-boo I was using a cable from best-buy. I didn't know if ECMspy was specifically written for the FTDI cable.

I was originally going to try a bestbuy cable as well since I have a brand new serial to usb cable sitting at home, but remembered how picky my Autronic was on getting the right voltages and figured the FTDI would be best. Substitutions may work, just not work correctly.....

You can't use generic Best Buy USB cables for the ECMSPY laptop software. The FTDI cable is required to convert the ECM RS232 voltages to TTL that the USB port requires. Palm devices like the TX already have TTL interfaces, so all you need to do is get a Palm TX serial cable from eBay, hack off the USB connector and wire up the Deutsch connector. The Palm is useful for on-the-road datalogging, keeping you from having to lug a laptop around.

I've used ECM Spy many times before without a hitch. However, I have recently loaded a 03 race map into the program and the TPS and RPM numbers are all mixed up on the fuel map.

Does anyone know what is going on?

New to the forum but I did manage to try ECM spy on the Buell xb12r. I have everything connected and understand everything up until the tuning part. For example, I have an open air box now. Does that mean I no longer have a closed loop region. Also, I just can't seem to adjust the fuel map properly. When I let off the throttle, loud pops come out of the exhaust. Or I think its the exhaust. Any tips?

I THINK the maps have to come off matching Version numbers on the ECMs. i.e. GB231 to GB231, IB310 to IB310, etc.

Hey Dave. I have the cable and the program. I have read the downloaded manual twice, but I am still a little apprehensive about jumping into the ecm spy. I read your post about using your stock pipe tuning with only the airbox delete and breather mod, and I am wanting to do the same. I guess my question is....Did you have Mike do a map for you, or did you do it yourself the first time? I don't want to spend $100 if I can do it myself, but I also like the idea of having a base map designed by someone that knows what they are doing. Your thoughts sir. Thanks 2004 Lightning xb12s Amber and black

dave_xb12r
06-18-2009, 06:37 PM
I did have Mike do it for me. I think just having the peace of mind that I had a professional do it is worth it alone.

But GatorBuell did a very nice write up on tuning yourself. It does look pretty easy. Here's the link (http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Do-It-Yourself-Buell-Mods/ECMspy-megalog-tunning)

ROJO
06-18-2009, 06:43 PM
Thanks. I saw Gator's post also. I kinda feel the same way. I think I will go that route. I'm am sure in my ability of doing it, but I would always question myself that maybe it would be better if had just paid the money and let someone show me first. Thanks for the input.

What is it with this message on the xopti site;

The 2008 and newer bikes will need a secondary way for tuning 1125r and 1125cr with ecmspy.

Will it work or not with a 2008/2009 XB12?

And is it possible to revert to the original software, as to not be detected as modified. For warranty reasons. Or in Europe for emission checks?

Thanks for a reply.

I'm going to piggy back on Edipis' question.

I plugged my '04 xb12r up to ECMSpy and my TPS and RPM's were all out of order and weird looking.

Stevenc150 said it could be about a serial number match or whatever.

How do I know what I have, and what ECMSpy has loaded?

How do I know what I have, and what ECMSpy has loaded? Under the "EEPROM" tab - look next to "Firmware Version".



do you know where in ECMSpy you turn off the "look" for the Exhaust Servo? It's under the "DIAGNOSTICS" tab - look in upper/right corner where it has "Active Muffler Control". It has an On & Off Checkboxes.

Matt95,

You should have the 07 race eeprom in your email.


StealthyMosquito,

$45 is really the best I can do after paying shipping and everything. I loose money if I go much lower. I understand times are tough. I have a bunch of these I have money wrapped up in, so I'm kind of in the same boat. It's still lower than anyone else you will find after shipping is included.

I can email you the tuning guide if you don't already have it. Just remember to back up your existing settings first. That way if you mess something up, you can change everything back to stock. The tuning guide walks you thru this.

If you're just installing the exhuast can, you can probably Reset the TPS (http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Buell-Lightning-XB12S-XB12Ss-CityX-XB12Scg/Troubleshooting/help-with-ecmspy) and get by until the next ECMSpy-ish program for '08-up bikes come out. Or you could contact JTS Performance (http://www.jtsperformance.com/) and inquire about a tuning "package".

Edit: There's also Ohio Sportbike (http://www.ohiosportbike.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=7&sid=c4c83aa47a63fb86f53f56a2788b506e) for '08+ Tuning.

Thanks guys for all the awesome help, love this forum.

Also Stealthy, 45$ is the best price I have found for the cable and maps. The one I ordered (EBAY) had messed up maps that came with it...long story short if I had to do it again I would get mine from a member here.

Stevenc150- thanks for the heads up! I did the tps reset and it actually helped my stock setup. Doesn't bog as much. Hope it works well enough again after doing the pipe. I'm looking forward to the new ECM deal that's being worked up.

Emailed stock & race maps to you Buelltech. Without adding on an exhuast mod with the K&N, I'm not sure which would be best. If possible, I'd check the air/fuel ratio - if it's lean use the Race map.

well, here goes my first mod. I had a Drummer, race ECM, and K&N set up but had to lose it for some warranty work. I cant afford the Drummer again, didnt see that big of a difference with the race ecm and kept the k&n. so I went with a Hawk Pipe found a copy of EcmSpy and bought the parts for the cable. I actually drove over to get the Buell connector plug, ordered the cable from Mouser, and am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my muffler. now i just have to hope i dont smoke anything when i put them together this week. I am also thinking about adding a few holes to the air box. Wish me Luck!

New ECMspy user with some questions. I've done a bunch of reading and messed with the program, loaded fuel maps to the bike and returned it to stock etc. but I'm still a little confused.

I have a 2006 xb12x with a drummer exhaust. I want to buy a race ecm, but can't afford it. I bought the ECMspy cable to change the stock ecm into a race ecm. The cable came with a disk with 2006 xb12 race ecm eeprom.


QUESTIONS:

I can't burn the race eeprom to my bike. I can burn race fuel maps to my bike. Is this normal?

I was under the impression that all you had to do was burn the race eeprom onto your ecm and you have the same thing as a buell race ecm. True or not?

One final question. Can I simply burn the race maps onto my bike and have the equivalent of a race ecm? I'm not looking for performance gains, I just don't want my bike to run lean.


THANK YOU for any help!

twistedrose

WB,

I can't burn the race eeprom to my bike. I can burn race fuel maps to my bike. Is this normal?

Yes, the EEPROMs are firmware dependent. The maps are still good.

I was under the impression that all you had to do was burn the race eeprom onto your ecm and you have the same thing as a buell race ecm. True or not?

Yes.

One final question. Can I simply burn the race maps onto my bike and have the equivalent of a race ecm? I'm not looking for performance gains, I just don't want my bike to run lean.

Yes, but the changes are minimal. I saw a huge difference when I started using the megalog viewer to view the data from me riding around. I used the new map as a starting point.


THANK YOU for any help!

Your Welcome!

I had issues burning the entire eeprom to the bike myself. No worries. Get the EEPROM from your bike, save it two places. One so you have a copy and one to modify. There are four maps on the 'Race' that you want to copy (they all get saved and written at the same time). front and rear fuel and front and rear timing tables. there are only two or three other changes to make, under diagnostics turn active muffler control and white cable to off and make sure all of the boxes under byte 5 are unchecked. these will stop the bike from reporting the active muffler control you want to remove because you are no longer using.

so
1. load the eeprom that has the desired maps.
2. save maps to file (all four go at the same time).
3. load a COPY of your eeprom.
4. load maps you just saved.
5. uncheck the active muffler control and white cable boxes.
6. save eeprom under another file name.
7. write eeprom to bike.
8. toggle ignition off and back on
9. set AFV to 100% (here I like to retrieve the eeprom from the bike to verify the changes took correctly)

I would suggest using the megalog viewer to see how it is running. While the new map was a huge improvement to my bike I had to play with it a little so the AFV would stay close to 100%.

dallasb
03-18-2010, 06:04 PM
Be careful about trying to burn the race eeprom to your stock ecm. There have been reports of bricking the ecm. The best thing that you can do is do data logging. I had the race maps with the timing as well but it ran like crap. So I kept the original timing and returned it back to stock and did some logging. It runs so much smoother now without the surging.

twistedrose
03-18-2010, 10:02 PM
Not to be misunderstood, I have completely created my own maps through the logging, though i imported the other map as a starting point. I already knew mine was running very lean and chose to start there. the bike runs much cooler now. I have thought about trying the new maps I created with the original timing too, but haven't gotten to it yet. as dallas said this is the best method, no two bikes are the same, some are close but best results are seen with a map made custom for your bike. it is very easy to do, just takes a little time.

wbedient
03-19-2010, 05:07 PM
Thanks for the quick replies! I'll be adding in the maps as per the instructions provided by twistedrose. I am not comfortable doing all the data logging and tuning, this "simple" ECMspy stuff is a stretch for me already! [smirk]

wbedient
03-19-2010, 08:27 PM
SO... it didn't work. Copied the maps from the race eeprom into my stock eeprom and saved it. Then I tried to burn the stock eeprom w/ race maps onto my Uly. It said the ECM was incompatible. Then I open the race maps and tried to burn just the maps onto my bike, one at a time... same result. ECM is incompatible. SO I just did a TPS reset and I'm crossing my fingers that its not running too lean. Thanks for your help guys.

wbedient
03-19-2010, 08:30 PM
Sorry to tack another one on... my AFV was at 94% when I finished. Do I need to reset it to 100% when running the stock maps?

03-22-2010, 09:49 PM
dont burn the whole eeprom file from a race ecm to a stock ecm. you only burn the maps. Burning the whole thing make is not run and sometimes it jams up the ecm where only the factory can fix it. You dont want this.

I sent a guy here the files on a zip file to load for you guys here.

Maybe a need to do a maps only zip file. for the ecms.

even when you get the maps only you are still missing a lot of other functions not seen in ecmspy but seen in the hex data and tunerpro.

mike

twistedrose
03-23-2010, 10:32 PM
you don't have to burn the eeprom at all. you can burn the maps independently from the eeprom. there are several different firmware or versions out on these ECMs. They will not take an eeprom from a different firmware. here is what i am doing.

1. click 'fetch eeprom' to get eeprom from bike. the reason i do this is to verify communication with the bike and to see what the afv is at.
2. load desired map from file.
3. burn map to bike.
4. toggle ignition off then on
5. set afv to 100%.
6. fetch eeprom from bike and verify changes to maps and afv

things to check...
1. you have a compatable ECM.
2. you built the cable correctly and the drivers are properly installed.
3. you plugged the cable in before opening the program.
4. the key and engine switch are "on".

another note, you can fetch your eeprom and look at your maps. you can then change all of the values manually and click burn maps or burn eeprom, just remember there are four maps. because it is your eeprom from your bike there should not be a compatibility issue. i was not able to use the eeprom that was emailed to me from a friend, but i was able to extract the maps from it and use those. really the best method is still to hook it up and take it for a ride (data logging) and let your bike tell you what it wants. it will fill in the values for you, you just want to look to make sure there is no 0's or 100 point changes.

hope this helps.

I bought the cable off ebay and it came with the race map I need for a 2006 XB12ss. Problem is I started tinkerering with it too early. Now it will start up but it runs really bad and backfires. I have what I thought was the original eeprom and maps back in it. I've made a drummer out of the muffler, airbox delete,K&N, mods. I have NOT been able to load anything other than the stock because when I try to load the race map after pushing "file" load map, it isn't available and when I try to open it they are only text files. Could that be teh reason? Maybe I have some incorrect maps? My firmware is BUELB310 calibration ID 54:US. Please give me a map I can load in! I can't even ride it because it runs so bad and pops and stuff.

I downloaded Ecmspy from Buellysses sever link but every time I go to try anything involving connecting to the bike it tells me there's a problem with my firmware version. When I checked to see what version I had under the EEPROM tab there's nothing there. Im wondering if this is suppose to be like this or if the download was faulty. If it is suppose to state the version in this box can someone send me the Ecmspy program. Thanks

Hi, I have a problem. Should I downloaded maps for my race Buell xb9s BUECB060 2003, he reported that you can not embed .. So I copied the eeprom ECMspy Race Maps of the front and then rear cylinder, and the second open Ecmspy I put in my eeprom, but it will work when the original eeprom RPM 0,800,100,1200,1700 .... and TPS 255,175,125,100.80 ... Race and the EEPROM are 2560,0,1000,1200,2560,2300 RPM .... and TPS 27,88,31,64,10,0,255,175 ..? Therefore quite different values of TPS and RPM. Thank you so much for your advice. Martin

SnyderJ21, I think the ecm on the 09 is self learning. I believe you install your mods then ride it for about 10 minutes at around 3000-3500 rpms with no sudden revs or power increases. i would do a tps reset too. i have maps for the 9 if you want them though.

(no servo delete, no real tune = super junk). Im really in need of a starting point for the tune on this bike as once the tfi is gone it will be a stock ecu with tons of leaning mods. If anybody can chime in with a map for a similar bike I would be super super appreciative.
I now have my cable, ecmspy, megalog viewer, Tunerstudio with ve analyze, and everything is registered. at this point I will begin saving the stock tune and resetting the tps and removing the servo. but after that... well HELP! THANKS

Hey Does anyone know where you can still download ecm spy for free. I've searched around and any links I find are no longer active.

Have you tried ECMSpy.com?

Just curious, what are you doing?
