Brentuning Handheld for RSV4 and Tuono

remembering this post

One thing I'm glad about is there seems to be movement in tuning options finally after almost 3 years.

I think there is a lot to think about when it comes to tunes
1 what’s it for
2 how easy is it to use
3 price

1 meaning is it for straight line pulls or for track
2 is it a hand held or is it take the bike to a dyno
3 bren is around a grand which is steep but travel to a good dyno plus shop time/dyno pulls can add up real quick.

I know everyone has there own options and opinions but you really have to think about your 3 options. For me I live in the middle of Wyoming so to take my bike to a tuner would cost thousands!!! I also ride more street/track so I’m looking more for throttle control and smooth power versus big numbers. For me I went with bren for the simple fact that I can have it ordered and delivered. Also I can run my aftermarket exhaust without error codes or issues with bike performance. I can also go to race fuel as easy as a quick flash. I also went with them for the fact of going back to stock for updates on the bike without worry.
Now if you have the options to go to a tuner with easy it would make sense to go that route... but like most of us we live in places that we don’t have those options. I have to drive 5 hours each way just to get the oil changed on my bike at the dealership. I can do them but I can’t turn off the annual service or oil lights so 10 hours it is. At least with the bren tune there is the possibility in the future of turning these lights off my self. Just my thoughts

just a couple more options for numero 2

2: handheld, Dyno tune, install new ECU, send ECU out for flash, or add on hardware to “trick” the ECU

Good write up. Bren seems to deliver on the ride ability, removing throttle twitch and overall smoothness and refinement across the whole rev range

definitely the easiest way to go unless it locks your ECU

Brentune made my bike run 11.5 afr on top. Not so good made less hp than my R1m with a full akro

Did you contact and ask them to correct it?

what did that feel like?

At 11.5 it should be smooth and fine, just down on power. That's really rich for NA. It should be around 13.

I gotta get my bike on the dyno

TB is a pretty good product. Its just Wayne is hit and miss with his after sales service. The cookie cutter tunes are fine, but really need dyno time to tune, especially the QS. 3x Throttle profiles & 3x map selection plus cruise control is pretty good. I still use TB cruise control even with Rapid bike on my 899

Good write up. Thanks for the details. Sounds like a good solution.

Is this sarcasm or r u for real?

$ 200 now that’s more like it

Long story - they asked for the dyno jet run files ( a file that the dyno makes when you run it) which I supplied to them for a number of runs. They then asked me to make a run with my bike stock ? so that they could make a comparison. So they wanted me to change my bike back to stock Really? wasn't that what they should have done when they developed the flash.

why don’t they have the stock file ? That makes zero sense .

Sounds like they don’t have it , by you suppling these files would then allow them to make adjustments by guessing on someone else numbers to only resell their flashes... very dishonest and hope I am very wrong .

I don't know if there is anything nefarious there. They could be asking for a stock run on the bike to ensure there is not something inherently wrong with the bike. If the bike is off from what they would expect, they would want to know that the issue does not exist in stock form as well. A tuning rule is to make sure the bike is working properly and you are not trying to tune around an underlying issue.

However, if you asked them to adjust their tune based off the the info you gave them, they should have. I have yet to see anyone give hard evidence that they actually are capable of supplying custom tunes on the V4 (AFR was off, they adjusted tune, and then dyno showed that AFR was now improved). Simply too much hidden with the brentune without customers dynoing and really providing the hard evidence they are supplying a quality tune that actually corrects AFR adequately. You are an example of where you proved the tune was off based off of dyno data, but it was never fixed.

The OP demonstrated an issue and a fix, but it is all off of "feel" with no dyno data to prove how good the tune is (AFR or HP). --- sorry, not OP. I'm talking about the person where the bren flash appeared corrupted and didnt work and bren was able to send them a flash that did fix the problem and made the bike run good.

Right on

I am buying a new v4s with full akro tomorrow. I am looking for a better tune compared to the akro map and good lord does reading all 27 pages of this kind of make me not want to own a ducati at all

Y’all every heard of forum moderators here? I used to be into the LS1 scene and moderated some forums. .... like this past 27 pages would have been shut down quick. I mean comon allowing vendors to trash each other, really?

If moderators starting chopping up what people are saying I'd be outta here fast!

I have an expensive bike just like everyone else on here loaded with high end parts .

I want to hear the raw truth what people have to say and make my own decisions that work best for me .

If this is too much for you to handle maybe this place isn't for you .
