DOWNLOADING RACE MAp tomorrow

[williegoat]

Here is what worked for me.

It is important to remember that eproms are .txt files and maps (which are a portion of the date in an eprom) are .msq files. Never try to directly edit these files unless you know exactly what you are doing.

First and foremost, connect to the bike, fetch your stock eprom and save it in a safe place. It will be a .txt file.

Now, away from the bike, create a new folder and copy your stock eprom and the race eprom to the new folder. This way you lessen the risk of destroying the original data. This new folder will be your working directory. All of the file operations in the next steps should be done from this directory.

Next, open the race eprom in ecm spy (File > Load EEPROM...) *it will be a .txt file*
Save the maps in your working directory (File > Save Map...) *you will create a .msq file*
Now, open your stock eprom (File > Load EEPROM...) *it will be a .txt file*
Next, load the race maps into your stock eprom (File > Load Map...) *it will be a .msq file*
Now, save your newly created hybrid eprom with a name you will remember (File > Save EEPROM...) *you will create a .txt file*

I found the following steps necessary, though others may not.
Close ECM Spy.
Now, open two copies of ECM Spy and open the race eprom in one and your newly created custom eprom in the other.
Go to the 'Maps' tab and compare the column headers (RPM values) in your custom eprom with those of the race map. Make sure that the values in your custom map match those of the race map. If they do not, right-click on the cell in your custom eprom, choose 'edit' and change the value to that of the race map, then re-save your custom eprom. Now, the maps in your custom eprom should match those in the race eprom.

To be on the safe side, you could now open your custom eprom along side the stock eprom and make sure that all of the data in the other tabs match.

Now, burn your custom eprom to the bike, reset AFV and TPS, and go for a ride.

At least you got further than I did. I spent 3 hours getting absolutely no where. I got my bike hooked up to ecmspy, but none of the options in the file menu would highlight to even let me do anything. Then I found out you need the drivers, so I downloaded and installed those and still nothing. When I click on 'File' it just won't let me click on anything. I thought maybe I had an outdated version of ECMspy, so I deleted it and pulled up the Octopus thread on loading maps, and my already spiraling plane just bust into flames and started to pick up speed at this point. I downloaded the Mono and Tunerpro he put up links for and couldn't even figure out how to open Mono. None of the icons actually opened a program. Considering I was actually farther away than when I started hours earlier, I figured I would do best to hold off and start again another day. All of this is kinda making me want carbs again. It was never explained to me that I would have to understand how to work computers when I started getting into motorcycle when I was 17 haha

Anyone have a link to a current version of ECMspy just to make sure I've actually got what I need so I can know that it's just me, and not the computer giving me troubles?

@upthemaiden

Look in the DIY section. There should be a link that is a sticky that has the program in it. If you need a quick link i can post one up but I figure you could find it just as fast.

I think that's the last one I was looking at, posted by theoctopus. This the one you're using? http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

I also saw a post from gatorbuell but that one looked like it was going way beyond what I was trying to do with actual tuning, and not just loading the map.

This is the one that I was talking about. It has ecmspy as well as where to find the drivers in the thread. I'm confused on what exactly you need mono for. ECMspy doesn't require it. Now if your trying to use ecmspy read then that is a different story. Are you just trying to push a race map onto your ecm?

I installed the race map n works great other than at cold start the bike won't stay on. I. Have to warm it a few minutes n then it stays on. Other than that its perfect. I have new oils, ngk iridiums, airbox mod, servo turned off n white wire off, o2 on, muffler mod, breather mod, timing correct, and tps reset with idle around 1100 or less. Not sure why it doesn't. stay on when cold. Lmk if u experience the samething

The only time I have a problem with the bike starting is when its cold outside but the bike has been sitting in the sun. It tricks the sensor into thinking its hotter outside than what it actually is.
