Just looking at the service manual for resetting the TPS. It mentions the "digital technician"(H-D service system). Is there a "shade tree" version of this electronic tool? I like doing these type of things on my own and want to get the "tool". I'm sure this is somewhere in the archive, but figured you guys could get me in the right direction alot faster! TIA Kaveman BTW: Can the "digital technician" remap the ECM? | ||

Knowledge vault and search can be your friend. Prolly the most talked-about subject on Badweb. (and I'm refusing to bring up countersteer) | ||
| Kaveman |
Yup, You're right... Did a search and got ALOT of info... Just would like to know which is best, priced right, etc... TIA Again Kaveman | ||

There's really only one answer but it depends on exactly what you want to achieve... | ||

Look here: VDSTS SW There is a specific procedure to follow once you have the SW. It is quite simple. There is no way to do it without SW to command the ECM to read the voltage from the TP when it is in the COMPLETELY shut position. Al | ||

Al_lighton, Where can I find the way to check for all codes, and all the functions that this unit can do, the lack of instructions on how to do ALL what this is Capable of is a PITTY??? | ||

It used to not capture fan or muffler servo codes, but got all the rest. I haven't hooked it up and disabled those functions to see if they fixed it. I did a bunch of testing for them, generated log files, so that TR had the data to snag those codes, but I'm not sure if it does. It does reset all of them, however. They don't have a comprehensive list of the functions it performs on their web site. It doesn't do static timing at this time. It does AFV, TPS, and DTC resets. It does fuel pump, fuel injector, tach, and I think coil checks. It displays all the relevant real time operating parameters (i.e., all the sensor inputs, tach, FI duration, etc). I've never found the lack of a decent manual to be that big a deal, once it is installed and working. It is easy SW to use, it's not like it's Solidworks or Photoshop. All that it does is plain to see and easy to access once the SW is running. Al | ||

What is the difference between the PDA and PC options? | ||
| Gowindward |
With the dongle key you can run either software. | ||

Hmm. . .I hear it's all about the ongle of the dongle!?!?!  | ||

PC vs PDA. Some time in mid 2006, and I'm not sure exactly when, the dongle became platform specific, i.e., for a PDA or for a PC. There is a third dongle like the older ones that work on both a PDA and a PC, but it costs $55 more. I use both the PC and PDA version all the time. The PC is more user friendly, what with all the big windows and gauges and such. But the PDA version is REAL handy, I can walk up to a bike and do stuff without having to boot the PC and clear a path to it for the bike to roll there. BUT, there is a very cool new feature that I just used for the first time last weekend, and it is revolutionizing how I do map beta testing. The PDA version always could capture log files, but the log file didn't capture AFV, and the log display program didn't display AFV. It was a hole in the program. But now it does. And Beta testing maps is now greatly improved. I send a rider out with a PDA in pocket, recording the parameters, with instructions to try to hold it at certain RPMS steady for some part of their ride. After they return, I can open that log file on the PC using either VDSTS or a program called Dataview, (free for download on the TR site, which is really just a stripped version of VDSTS for reading PDA log files). Viewed as a virtual strip chart, I can see TP, RPM, and AFV for the entire ride. I don't even need it to learn, I can see the instantaneous AFV and let my brain do the averaging instead of the AFV learn function. I can tell almost instantly where the map is too rich or too lean across the closed loop domain. I'm buying a couple PDAs so that I can have map beta testers log some data. Maps will be even better as a result. Al | ||

Al ... I'd be happy to map data with the D&D map I just got from you ... just let me borrow the PDA and tell me what to do .. Dan Hines |
