FE-427 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks Paul I had talked to the gentleman at Techno Research and he said that there was a problem with the Direct Link and that he would not be able to start selling them again until the first of this year. I was trying to find out what the glitch was and if the glitch affected me in what I am trying to do. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 A glitch? That is too bad. I thought it might prove to be better than tuneboy. You could try TuneBoy. I use it and love it, and favor it over PCIII and MY15M. Tuneboy can do more of what I want than PCIII, and it can do almost everything MY15M can for less money. Yet the number of Tuneboy sales is far lower. WTF?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 only it looks like tuneboy can't connect to the 15rc, the ecu fo the lambda bikes. In the preferences of the tneboy I see the lc1 lambda as option, but in the manual is nothing what you can do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaing Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Isn't the 15rc for the Breva 750 etc., not for the V11? I'd bet Tuneboy probably connects to the 15M that has an oxygen sensor input. But I am less sure about lambda options. The tutorial shows how to adjust the AF but it does not specify Guzzi. My bike has no O2 sensor, and I'll bet FE-427's bike has none either, but if his does, he should check with TuneBoy before ordering. They say they support 15M, not 15RC. Here is a link to the list of supported Guzzis http://www.tuneboy.eu/fitment.aspx They don't specifically mention some of the newer models, so maybe there is an incompatibility???

dlaing Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 http://www.tuneboy.com.au/TuneDownloads/TunesGuzzi.html Lists the LeMans with Catalytic Convertor. Isn't that a lambda equipped bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 http://www.tuneboy.com.au/TuneDownloads/TunesGuzzi.htmlLists the LeMans with Catalytic Convertor. Isn't that a lambda equipped bike? Yes it is. But if ou load the map they have for it, there is no lambda tab. If I load a map for a bike like a triumph that has a lambda, there is a lambda adjustment tab, so you can tell the ecu what lambda you want at what rev The 15m is the ecu for non lamda bikes, the 15rc is used on the lambda bikes. Like 750 breva, but also cafe sport, rosso corsa etc. I got a cheap 15rc of ebay, from a 750 breva, but only maps should be different. Tuneboy software is only 200 euro.

Paul Minnaert Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 reply from tuneboy: Hi Yes we support the 15RC ECU The TuneEdit program allows you to connect the LC-1 and it will display the A/F ratio from the LC-1 on the TuneEdit screen. The info from the LC-1 is also logged with the TuneEdit program. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeve Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks Paul I had talked to the gentleman at Techno Research and he said that there was a problem with the Direct Link and that he would not be able to start selling them again until the first of this year. I was trying to find out what the glitch was and if the glitch affected me in what I am trying to do. Cheers Glitch is probably related to the fact that the software was written to require interfacing w/ a hardware dongle [piracy control.] This was written long enough ago that all the laptops had sub-D serial ports, but no modern laptops do anymore. Hence the glitch encountered when trying to use a Serial-USB converter to patch the hardware dongle onto a USB-only laptop, with frequent "software won't run" problems. But that's only my conjecture, from reading the sad tales of others here & elsewhere. Ride on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Well the dongle has never used the serial port. And the software they use is used very much for this purpose. I have to do often with it in my work, but see there no problems.

dlaing Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yes it is. But if ou load the map they have for it, there is no lambda tab. That is pretty important, I would think. I hope they add that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnracing Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Seems that there is a new version of the Technoresearch Direct Link software - DirectLink2.40.67-F84-XP-2000-NT-98.zip - DirectLink2.40.67-F84-Vista.zip dated 01/13/09 ( 13 jan 2009 ) out now. http://www.technoresearch.com/Downloads/do...Direct-Link.htm Also the VDST do have new versions out now. http://www.technoresearch.com/Downloads/downloads-VDSTS.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnracing Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Can someone confirm that they have actually used the Technoresearch Direct Link on a 1.5M ECU that were already reflashed with a FIM map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might consider trading the FIM flashed one with an OEM one. I'll bet you'd find takers willing to throw in some money. I have considered switching from Tuneboy to direct link, but would only do it if some traded me plus gave me dollars for the Tuneboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
