What is Woolich Racing AutoTune? |
Woolich Racing AutoTune is a feature currently available in the Woolich Racing Tuned software. AutoTune works with data logged either from the Engine Data Screen or when using the Woolich Racing Log Box. The logged data is sorted and analyzed and changes are provided which will bring the Air Fuel Ratio (AFR) of your bike closer to the Target AFR. The AutoTune process involves the following steps. - Data Logging
- Review Logged Data in the Woolich Racing Tuned Software.
- Apply suggested changes to the Fuel Maps
- Write changes to the ECU
- Repeat from step 1 until you have reached your Target AFR and the suggested changes are small.
AutoTune allows you to tune both IAP and TPS maps. These Support Center articles may also be of interest to you:

Engine Data logging settings |
The Woolich Racing Log Box products allow data to be written (logged) to an micro-SD card while the bike is being run on the street, track or dyno. The Log Box will typically start logging data whenever the ignition is started AND the device is NOT connected to the computer.
The exact settings about how the data logging works can be modified by the user in the Woolich Racing Tuned software on the computer. These settings can be viewed by connecting the Log Box to your PC and setting your Log Start Configuration which can be found under Tools > Device Configuration Page as shown below.
The Log Start Configuration is shown as in the screenshot below:
The Default "Log Start Configuration" settings are:
Time Delay (secs) = 0 - The number of seconds to delay before starting to log data after the device is powered on. This setting is useful if you would like to delay data logging to prevent log files from being created when starting the bike for short amounts of time.
Engine Running = not ticked - When this option is checked the engine must be running before data will be logged. This setting is useful to prevent logging data when the key is turned on but the engine is not running.
RPM = 0 - The RPM that the engine must go above before data logging will begin. This setting is useful to delay the start of data logging until the engine has been taken above the selected RPM.
Log data to micro-SD in Engine data Mode = not ticked. - This setting creates data logs on the Interface when in normal operation mode. It is useful if you are using the Interface on the dyno to monitor engine data and you would also like to log data to be used with the Woolich Racing AutoTune.
OBD2 Engine data = not ticked - This option is required for models that use OBD2 engine data protocol. You can see it your model requires OBD2 data by checking the Engine Data Type' in the Bin File Details. If your model shows the Engine Data type: "OBD2 - CAN", then you will need to tick this option, and save to the Log Box.
CAN Logging = not ticked - This is a troubleshooting option that you may be asked to use by the Woolich Racing Support Team. Please do not tick this option unless asked to by one of our Support Technicians.
After making changes to the the Start Log Configuration, be sure to click the Save button so that the settings are written to the Log Box.
If all options set to 0 or unticked, the Log Box will start recording data as soon as power is supplied (ie. when the key is turned).
After the Log Start Configuration has been set, you can disconnect the Log Box from your PC, and connect it to your Bike harness. You should then start the bike engine, and check the LEDs on the Log Box - the green and orange LEDs should flash quickly, and the red one should flash briefly every few seconds. This indicates the Log Box is receiving data, and recording it to the micro-SD Card.

TuneLock Feature |
TuneLock is a free feature in the Woolich Racing Tuned software that allows the user to lock tuned maps within a bin file, to prevent other people from simply reading out their custom maps from the ECU.
The Tuner can choose their own password, or use the Automatically Generated Password option. The bin file including all maps, settings, etc is then locked to the Tuner's account and cannot be viewed or modified by anyone else unless they have the TuneLock password.
The TuneLock password is linked to the account used in the Woolich Racing Tuned software when the lock was applied. If the same user is logged in to the Woolich Racing Tuned software, they will not be asked for the TuneLock password to view or unlock the bin file.
If another user tries to open a TuneLocked bin file, they will require the password in order to view the file. If the password is not known then the bin file can not be opened or viewed.
This feature is aimed at workshops that invest a lot of of time in creating custom tune files and do not want others to be able to simply copy their work.
It is possible to request a Key Transfer for a TuneLocked ECU, but the existing tune can not be read out, and the next tuner will need to start with a new stock bin file and write the ECU again. Writing to the ECU using a new file after the key transfer will clear the previous tune, and also remove the TuneLock password.

Map Switch on Your ECU |
When a bike is tuned the information is stored in the ECU in so-called 'Maps', these are just tables of numbers related to functions on the bike like fuel supply or ignition timing. Bikes can be tuned in different ways to achieve different goals, for example to achieve more power or to achieve better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
Some ECUs allow you to store multiple sets of maps and switch between them while riding. One map might be tuned for riding on the road (ie. normal conditions) and another might be for the race track (ie. performance mode). These two maps are often referred to as MS0 and MS1 (MS = Map Select). Map switching while riding is made possible by installing an electrical switch on the bike and connecting this to a specific pin of the ECU. The exact pin to use depends on the specific model/year of the bike. The switching between maps is done by installing a toggle switch to ground onto a specific ECU pin (see below). One map will be selected when the pin is grounded, and another set will be selected when the pin is not grounded. You will need to test which maps are active for a particular switch position. The following table lists known values for the map select pin of some common bikes, if you have information on other models that it not listed here please feel free to share: 2002-2007 Hayabusa: pin 21 (larger plug) 2003-2004 GSXR 1000: pin 21 (larger plug) 2006-2010 GSR 600: pin 53 2004-2005 GSX-R 600: pin 19 (smaller plug) 2004-2005 GSX-R 750: pin 19 (smaller plug) 2005-2006 GSX-R 1000: pin 57 2006-2007 GSX-R 600: pin 58 2007-2016 GSX-R 1000 : pin 66 2008-2019 GSX-R 600 : pin 66 2008-2019 GSX-R 750 : pin 66 2008-2019 GSX1300R Hayabusa: pin 58 2008-2012 GSX1300BK B-King: pin 58 2005-2008 SV 1000: pin 44 (small plug pin 10) 2009-2019 ZX6R (600): pin 51 2004-2010 ZX10R: Light Green/Black wire in KDS Diagnostic Plug 2006-2011 ZX14: Light Green/Black wire in KDS Diagnostic Plug 2006-2008 ER-6N: pin 46 2009-2015 ER-6N: pin 38 Green/Black wire in KDS Diagnostic Plug 2013-2015 EX-300: pin 38 Green/Black wire in KDS Diagnostic Plug These Support Center articles may also be of interest to you:

How will I know if you add new features to the WRT software? |
New features are added to our Woolich Racing Tuned software on a regular basis, as requests are made by tuners and individuals.
We are always striving to add new and commonly requested models and features to the WRT software and have any associated cables manufactured as quickly as possible. The more popular the request, the more priority it gets in the ongoing development of the Software. If you have your own feature request, please let us know by Open a Support Ticket. Unfortunately, we cannot give any fixed time frames as to when new features will be released. - Some features are not possible on certain models of bikes.
- Some features may not be cost effective to implement, such as when we have many large projects going on, or the target audience is very small.
Please keep an eye on our Homepage, or our FaceBook Page, and the Software Release Notes for updates regarding new models and features added. We also announce new features via our email updates (subscribe to these updates). These Support Center articles may also be of interest to you: Was this helpful? YesNo open in new page |
How many computers can I use my WRT account on? |
You are able to use your WRT account on a maximum of 3 computers at the same time.
Your computer count will increase if you install the WRT software onto another PC. If you upgrade your PC to a newer version of Windows, such as Win10 or Win11, this may also count as a 'new' computer by the software.
The account will be auto-locked if you attempt to use the software on more than 3 computers.
If you are no longer using the WRT Software on one of your PC's, it is recommended that you uninstall the software, to avoid your computer count increasing again, and your account being auto-locked.
Please contact us with your account details if this happens as we are able to remove computers from your account.

Can I share my tuning maps with others? |
There are two ways to share your custom bin files with other users.
1. Woolich Racing Share File: You can share your files directly using the Woolich Racing Share File feature. This is the fastest and simplest way to share your custom file with another user. This allows a User to share bin files with other accounts, so if User A tunes a bike and wants to give the tune to User B, they can just save the bin file as a Woolich Racing Share File (.wrsf) and send it to User B. User B can then open it with their account. The normal .wrb files saved by your account are encrypted and can only be opened by your account. 
NOTE : This feature does not transfer across the bin file license key. You must already have access or purchase the required bin file key to use the file. 2. Woolich Racing MapShare: You can easily subscribe to other users' maps, and share your own maps with other people by using the Woolich Racing MapShare feature. In the Woolich Racing Tuned software you can use the "MapShare" dropdown to access and submit MapShares to our MapShare website. The 'Send MapShare' button allows you to enter details about your bike before submitting to MapShare. Once you have submitted other users can login to Woolich Racing MapShare and subscribe to your MapShare. When you have a bin file open, clicking the 'Subscribe to Mapshares' button will take you to the MapShare page for the bin file definition you have open. There, other users can subscribe to your MapShare. 
Any MapShares you have subscribed to will be automatically downloaded ready to be applied to new or existing bin files. Below you can find the full tutorial video on how to use and apply MapShares.

Autoblipper Activation |
The Woolich Racing Autoblipper allows shifting down through the gears without using the clutch. The Autoblipper works by detecting the pressure on the shift lever and cutting the engine for a moment before increasing the RPM of the engine by opening the Electronic Throttle Valve ETV. This is commonly known as 'blipping' the engine.
Only models that have an Electronic Throttle Valve (ETV) can have an Autoblipper installed. Bikes that have a cable throttle, can not electronically blip the throttle.
The Autoblipper will only activate during riding when the following conditions are met: - Throttle Fully Closed (or nearly closed)
- Clutch Out
- RPM above minimum activation RPM
For more details please check the Race Tools products for your model on the product page.

Fast Baud Data Logging |
Fast Baud Data Logging (Fast Engine Data) can be enabled in Advanced Settings for some Suzuki Models.
This increases the speed of communications between the ECU and the computer when in Engine Data mode or when using the Log Box to log Engine Data from the ECU.
The Baud rate of communications is increased from 10,400 bps to 50,000 bps. (bits per second) (An almost 5x increase in data resolution over the factory data speed)
Note: The Suzuki Diagnostic Software will not be able to connect to the ECU if you have Fast Baud Rate enabled as it will try to connect at the default 10400 bps. If you would like to connect the SDS software remove the check in the Fast Baud Rate checkbox in Advanced Settings and flash the ECU with the changes.

Derestricting A2-LAMS models |
The WRT software gives you access to stock bin files rather than modified/unrestricted bin files.
If you are looking for information on de-restricting A2 or LAMS bikes, we recommend that you speak to a local Tuner/Tuning Shop. They will be able to give you advice on what can, and can not be done, as well as relevant information regarding your local laws.
You can have them safely de-restrict the bike if it is possible, assuming that you are licensed to ride a full-power unrestricted model.
Not all restrictions are ECU-based, this means that de-restricting a specific bike might not be possible at all with the WRT software
In recent years all manufacturers have been slowly locking down the restricted ECU's to stop anyone de-restricting them and riding an A2/LAMS model 'unrestricted'. There has been an increasing number of accidents resulting in injury or death where the investigation has revealed that the A2/LAMS model has been de-restricted, the rider was inexperienced and therefore put in a dangerous situation.
We do not advise any owner with an A2/LAMS model bike to 'de-restrict it' as they will find they are no longer covered by insurance, and may be liable for any accident that occurs (depending on local laws). There may also be legal requirements for you to notify your local vehicle registration body of the change.
In short, de-restriction is not what our software is designed for. Woolich Racing products are intended for RACE USE on CLOSED CIRCUIT ONLY.
We do not condone an A2/LAMS rider riding a full power model. This can put an unlicensed rider in a dangerous, or unlawful position.
If you have now obtained your full-power unrestricted licence, then you should really be looking at a factory full-power bike. Another alternative is to approach the manufacturer about a full-power ECU swap. This may or may not be available as an option depending on availability and the relevant laws in your country.

Using WRT Software in remote locations |
Preparations in using Woolich Racing Software when in remote places.
Please note: these instructions are relevant to all models in the Woolich Racing Software, except for 2016+ ZX-10R, ZX10RR, Ninja H2/ H2R and 2017+ ZX14R. You will still be able to log and view data for these models, but you cannot write the ECU with any changes without an internet connection.
*2020 Update: All bin files where the model begins with 2020, or newer, will now require an internet connection for every ECU flash.
Before travelling you should perform the following. • Have a laptop that has an ACTIVE Woolich Racing Account. • Ensure that you are already logged in to the software. • Open and close the software to check for updates and check for firmware updates on your interface. • While you still have an internet connection, ensure you have clicked on the ‘Account’ drop-down menu, and selected ‘Download Bin File Definitions’ and 'Download Keys' to ensure you have all your keys available to you. can read and write to the ECU. • Turn off wi-fi on the laptop so the software won’t try and look for an internet connection.

Can I return my tuning/maps to stock after using your products? |
The Woolich Racing Tuned software allows you to modify the original stock maps by writing your own tune data to the ECU. If you make some changes that you want to undo (eg. poor performance or engine light error) it is always possible to return the tuning, maps, settings, etc back to the stock condition. This means that all maps will be the same as they were when the bike came from the factory
At any time you can open a new stock bin file in the Woolich Racing Tuned software as follows: - Click on the 'New' button
- Select your model, year, part number and click New
- Write the bin file to your ECU to return it back to the ECU's stock tuning and maps
- Note: This will NOT remove your Woolich Racing Bin File Key
You will be able to continue tuning and writing to the ECU after writing a stock file to your ECU. This is useful if you are having an unknown issue, and wish to remove all your changes from the ECU to troubleshoot. Another useful alternative is to return a specific map back to stock, while leaving other maps unchanged, this is described below. Putting a particular map back to stock: If you just wish to put the values in any particular map back to stock values, you can also simply go to the 'Value Trim' tab on a map, select all your cells (Ctrl+A), click the 'Set' button and enter '0'. The Value Trim map shows your changes from the stock map, therefore setting all of the Value Trim cells to 0 will return it to the original values.

NOTE:
This is not to be confused with the 'Return to Stock' function found in the 'Tools' menu, which returns the ECU to 100% factory form and will remove the existing Bin File Definition Key from your ECU. This function is only to be used under the direction of the Woolich Racing Support Staff, ie. requested to use it in a Support Ticket.
Using Tools > Return to Stock removes all Woolich keys and code from the ECU including Race Tools keys. To write to the ECU again after using Return to Stock, you will need to purchase a new Bin File Key, Race Tools key, etc.
