Hi All, has anybody successfully reset the oil service light on a 1299 with Tuneboy? The manual says it only works on some models but doesn't say which. I haven't had any luck trying a variety of methods suggested by different folks but most of them have different model bikes.

Cheers

Hi mate,
This question has been a pain in my side for years. The reset component of the software will only work if you have a TB map loaded. Cruise control doesn't count. Took years and many many email to Wayne to finally acknowledge this.

Can you tell me exactly what to do?

I loaded a couple of maps but I still can't get it to work. So do you load the map and then select the "clear service light" thing, or do you select "clear service light" and then load that map, or does the light only clear when you select that map.

Still confused.
 
You have to have a TB tune loaded first, it cannot be the stock tune. First hook up the TB box to the bike data connector, then to your USB port. Turn the key on and start TB trim program and go click the Service light reset from the menu. It should turn off if the bike is compatible. It works on my 1199. Turn off the key and disconnect the TB box. You can also re load the stock tune and the light will still be reset.

Hi Cosmik
RPM is pretty much on the money. I'm offshore at the moment so I don't have access to my laptop with the TB software, but there is a pull down menu on the TRIM page. From that page there is a pull down menu that has desmo service, oil service etc.
Select the oil service reset. From memory down the bottom RHS of the screen you will see some kind of reset message.

The key as RPM repeated is you must have a TB trim loaded on your ECU for it to work.
On another note, you must log out of the TB software, turn off your ignition before disconnecting the wires. When you turn off your ignition you will hear power to the ECU for about 2 minutes. You will hear a high pitched whine stop followed by a click.

Only turn your ignition on after this 2 minute period otherwise the ECU won't have completed its 'write' sequence.

Thanks, I'm sure this is what I have tried on several occasions. You do have a 1299 don't you? I know it works on an 1199, that's why I specifically asked about the 1299.

Hi Cosmik,
My apologies, I don't have a 1299, I did make the assumption the TB software would be the same.
 
I did the unthinkable and emailed Wayne, he replied very promptly. So the 1299 does not support this feature at present as I suspected, coming soon.

Cheers all.
 
I was about to buy TB so my question is will it work on more than one bike or is it a marry system where it works only on one bike?

Will it void my warranty?

When you use TB map will it say that on the screen or will the screen look normal without TB logo on it, dealership could and will void your warranty i think.
 
Sorry to hijack, but while we're on the subject of Tuneboy .. my cruise function has disappeared. Noting happened, no no loss of battery or anything like that. I haven't been stuffed logging into the bike, but has anyone else had this problem?

Every time I start thinking seriously about buying the Tuneboy cruise control program I read a post like this. And in the past I have found his web site to be pretty much useless. It's a shame. I'd be glad to buy it if I felt like there would be no glitches and his service was good.

Use the preflight program to check if all your inputs are good. Remember the cruise function looks at front and rear brake switches, clutch switch, and gear sensor. If everything check out in the preflight program then try reflashing the .dat. I have never seen a ECU program go bad, unless something is wrong with the ECU since it is stored in a non volatile type memory

I've seen the complaints on this forum about response time, but I've never waited more than a day for a response via email. It may have something to do with rudeness of the email that was sent. Just recently I ask for the latest V6 tune revisions for mine and a day later I get a download link. It's true the website does not stay up to date. The documentation is ok that ships with the device, and I never had an Issue with my cruise function. Most of the issues I've read are pc install issues or first time flash errors. The instructions have several steps for the first flash and need to be read the whole way through first then printed and taken to the garage for reference during the first install.

The hardware device does not marry to the vehicle like SCT or superchips devices do to cars, but you will need to buy individual licenses for each bike you want to flash. You would have to check with your own country's consumer laws to see if the warranty would be void. In the US the burden of proof falls on the dealer to prove that a mod caused a failure to be able to deny warranty. Even if a manufacturer writes "any mods void warranty" in the owners manual. Y
You could always flash back to stock before taking the bike in for warranty work. It does not display a different logo on the dash when tuned. A tech with good understanding of his diagnostic tool would be able to tell the ECU was tuned as some point if the matter was pushed.
 
Save your afr logs on every tps position and you're covered in case of å a failiure. Then you can prove the tune isn't the cause of the failiure. That's what I did...
 
I've had no problem with any of the Tuneboy software, my only complaint would be that the documentation is not that clear, in the case of the oil service light reset the docs say that it doesn't work on all models but doesn't say which ones. The web site and the PDF manual don't always agree but you can figure it out. The tune is definitely better, the throttle response is good and the low speed tuning is smooth.

On the whole though it is a pretty good product I think and hopefully will get updates. I may have mis-judged Wayne because of reports of tardy replies to email, I should have tried myself before now as he has responded very quickly to my query.

Cheers
 
Ok after some deep research i am going to stay away from this Tuneboy:

1. It voids your warranty
2. It's unreliable

I will probably do it to one of my bikes after the warranty has expired.
 
Mate, this is the only minor clitch I've had with the complete tuneboy experience. It transforms your bike and all the little extras are gun.
Would thoroughly recommend it to all.
BTW - sent an email this morning, had a response pretty much straight away
