'05 S4R; DP ECU
When I launch the VDST software, it connects to the ECU, however when I go to the "Active Settings" menu and select "Idle Trim" and then "Trimmer," I get an "error: ECU not responding" message.
Any ideas? Will this function not work with the DP ECU???
It should work - works with my DP ECU.
Is your bike running when you attempt to adjust the idle trim? It needs to be (not just ignition "on") . . .

Yes, and the software indicates initial connection to the ECU. Only when I go in to adjust the idle trim does it disconnect.
Also, I can see my rpm, engine temp., throttle position (which is wrong), etc. with the software.
Maybe try to disconnect/reconnect the plug to the ecu? I had troubles when I first started using the VDST software, I just kept fiddling with it and made sure all connections were solid as well as restarting the software.
When I hook it up I attach the +/- to the battery then connect the ecu without it hooked up to the computer. I start the software and as soon as its up and running then connect the usb from the bike to the PC. I do it the same way every time.
I also find that when I set the fuel trim, save it and go to the gauges/meters window that it disconnects but the fuel trim has been saved. Weird but it works I just have to hit the connect button again.
Well, I have either a computer problem or more likely a connector problem.
The software/computer continually disconnects and connects. :-\
Feck. I hate PCs, and its an old one too.
I'd download the driver for the usb connector and reinstall it, it might help. When working on the bike I also make sure the only program running is the VDST software. The only other thing I may have open is the pdf service manual for my bike.

I'll try that, thanks. But I'd like to try it on a newer/faster PC. The one I'm using take forever to boot up. :P I wish I could use my Mac.

Thanks! Its
EXACTLY like that!!
I have to get the partitioning software so I can use my Mac to do this...
OK, Keyspan adapter settings changed via the other thread's instructions, but still no go. ???
I'll borrow a buddy's PC with Vista and see how that goes...
make the beast with two backs!!
I my buddy's PC and downloaded the software for Vista, but when I launch it, I get a fatal error stating the the inilization file cannot be found, when its right below the .exe file!!!
I make the beast with two backsIN' HATE PCs!!!!!!!!
...using CD... :P
...OK, running the software on a Vista-equipped machine did the trick!! [thumbsup]
Bike is back to running like a champ!! [moto] [evil]
