Tuneboy downshifter

Do you have any pictures of it?

Not a very photogenic operation, just a wide-eyed yours truly in front of a laptop expecting apocalyptic trouble.

Expecting upper 50's on friday, will try to shoot a small video of a drive-by downshifting if the weather permits.

Maybe with Tune Boy you could develop an automatic transmission, shift up/down at a set RPM

Why not yank the clutch and driven out of my Cat and mount it on the Pani.

Can anyone help me out? I just installed the tuneboy strain gauge but only the up shift is working, when I try to clutch less downshift, it doesn't do anything.

Its a while back now since I did my install , but there is a test procedure in the manual , from memory it was on a target A/F screen and you operate the shifter and the numbers on the screen change . Check your documentation to see if you can find that test , I would start there . The first strain gauge I got was faulty , spoke to Wayne and he sent me a replacement ,all good after that
If you can't find the test info let me know and I will look it up for you , I don't have it handy at the moment

Also been a long while since I installed mine but I think if you move the sliders on the config options popup, it deactivates the shifter. You may think the upshifting is working as most bikes will shift up with no clutch in some manner. I could be wrong though as I don't remember the deets. Check the sliders on the kill pressure and blip pressure.

I don't think that is the problem here as he has included a photo of the slider settings I assume he is using and they are bang in the middle.

The up shifts is working for sure. Just not the other way around. And yeah the pressure sliders are right in the middle.

Does my install of the shifter look right or do I have it flipped around?

Not much of an instruction with this thing... I read through the whole manual and didn't run into the part to test the quick shifter action. Maybe I am blind... Lol.

crankman · Jun 25, 2015

Its in there but you do have to look , I will have a look when I get a chance and let you know

Okay to test the function of the strain gauge connect up to your OBD2 connector or wirelessly if you prefer, open the tuneboy software so you can see the main display then go to the view menu and select target screen, this will show a small window that has within it two boxes for A/F front and A/F rear cylinders , they are readings from your O2 sensors which you have discnnected ( at least one ) to plug your strain gauge into, two if you have fitted the nudge buttons , with the ignition on there should be numbers in green of around 13 -14 to 1 if you now apply pressure to the strain gauge the display for the cylinder you have it plugged into should change to from memory about 7 to 1 then if you apply pressure the other direction it should change again. That will confirm the strain gauge is either okay or faulty.
Good luck let me know how you go

Thanks for finding that for me crankman!

My rear o2 is logging around 14 - 15v with no pressure on the shifter.

When I up shifts the number goes to around 20v. When I downshift I get around 7v. So it seems to be working.... But why isn't it blipping for me to downshift!!! The cruise control works, so I know tuneboy has control of the throttle.

Okay , not sure if this will help , in your config options screen put a tick in the FCE box , also the tick you have in the "kill ignition on upshift" box does nothing on the Panigale so I would remove that.

Tried that combo... Still no good. I just saw in the manual that the output should be around 2.5v with no pressure. I am getting 14.5v.... So i think something is wrong on the hardware side.

Hope tuneboy respond soon.... Emma is fast... But support is extremely slow.

From memory again , I think those numbers sound about right , they are not a direct voltage reading as far as I know. The only other thing I can think of is to check you have it plugged into the right O2 plug , you should have got a bit of paper with you kit that tells which plug to use , swap it over anyway and see if that works.

crankman · Jun 28, 2015

Those numbers being about 7 one way and 20 the other , 14 in between

You tested your reading crankman? I swapped to the other o2 lead. No good... Even upshift is gone now. And I am getting a random blipping while slowing down... Not cool. I am changing it back.

Really hope tuneboy gets back to me soon. I been updating them on our findings but not one reply yet.

crankman · Jun 29, 2015

I tested mine when I set it up so as I say it is a while back now but from memory those numbers are what I got , I did have a faulty strain gauge initially , which was frustrating , but once we figured that out they sent me a new one promptly , all good after that. They do take their time getting back to you but once you get it sorted you will love it. Maybe go in and check the Blip H and Blip L tables just to make sure you have something like the right settings in there , once you get it working you will probably have to reduce the Blip H numbers below 5000rpm considerably to get rid of surging on downshift

toolmanbmw1 · Jun 29, 2015

Finally got an answer. They said to make sure to have kill ignition on upshift unchecked, cause checking it up will cause it to blip only while in 195hi. But I am pretty sure it is unchecked and still didn't work. But will try again as soon as it stops raning here.

I did mention that, though the manual says it does nothing on the panigale and mentions nothing about it interferring with downshift function , hopefully this sorts your issue, if it does then its on to adjusting Blip H values

Crankman it's working! When I unchecked that option the last time u told me to. I also swapped the o2 lead also and hooked back up the old o2 sensor. So when the right condition was met which is when I let off the throttle and get ready to use the brakes, the bike blip the throttle for me... Which scared the .... out of me and couldn't wait to get the bike home lol.

O2 swapped back and box unchecked! Everything is working good now. Do have some surging, so going to start tinkering now. Hehe. Now we know checking the cut ignition box for a panigale, will make the downshift blipping to work only in 195hi mode.

Thanks for the help crankman
