TS111 & TS116, Scout, & FTR-1200 Drive By Wire, Idle, Rev & Speed Limit Settings

This video goes through the Drive by Wire (DBW), Idle, and Rev. & Speed Limit table settings on the TS111/TS116 calibrations. The Scout and FTR-1200 calibrations are very similar.  Use the video as a guid for those bikes. I have attached example settings that you can download to review what I would change on those bikes.

These are the very basic settings you should consider changing as we prep for tuning our engine.  As noted in the video, care should be taken when setting the DBW tables as you can experience un-expected control issues if set wrongly.  I will place examples that I used (with the STK file that created them) to use as if so desired below with links.

Calibration years 2014 through 2016 used 3 main curves with 2 ceilings each.  The ceilings for this calibration are shorten versions of the main curves and take thought when changing.

Calibration years 2017 & 2018 simplify these curves by using the same main and ceiling array sizes.  This makes adjusting and copying the curves over to the ceiling arrays a lot easier.

In 2019 and newer models, Polaris introduced the Drive Mode.  This is a great feature for the user, but a major headache for the tuner if asked to change them.  I usually do not change these tables unless the client asks.  Usually this request has been to take the Standard Mode and copy those tables over to the Touring Mode.  Then create a new Standard Mode by taking the current Standard Mode and Sport Mode and averaging these values to create the new Standard Mode.  I will place an example of this in the file section to download below with links (with the STK file).

One note, whether you are creating your own tune or taking another tune to use as a pattern, the STK file with the same Tune CMP and Checksum as the custom tune (DJT) most be in the same directory.  As you develop your own tune and save as a new version by placing it in a new Folder, the Power Core Software C3 module will ask you if you would like to save the STK file too....say YES, so you can open it easily in the future.


Drive By Wire, Idle, Rev & Speed Limit Tables Explained

For the TS111/TS116 Models


Examples setups

2014-2016 TS111/TS116

2017-2018 TS111/TS116

2019-2022 TS111/TS116

The Scout's Drive By Wire (DBW) tables are similar to the TS111/TS116 tables, however there are significant differences in how to set them.  The Scouts have two main curves with two ceilings each.  You set the main curves the same way as you do with the TS111/TS116.  The difference is YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE CEILINGS!  If you do, you will get a throttle blade error and the engine will go into limp mode requiring a stop/re-start of the engine.  I do not know why this is (is it in Power Core or the Scout's Calibrations?). The 2020 and newer Scouts have their DBW tables like the TS111/TS116 2019 and newer models.  I usually do not touch those tables.

Here are some examples that you can use to make the DBW, Idle,  Rev & Speed limits to your Scout, and Torque limits updates on the 60.

2015 - 2020 Scout 60 & 69

The FTR-1200's (DBW) is similar to the 2019 and newer TS111/TS116 since it has the Drive mode.  I usually do not change those settings.

Here is an example that you can use to make the Idle, and Rev & Speed Limits to your FRT-1200.

After you have prepare your STK file using the above guidelines, save as and name the tune (DJT) file.  You are ready to copy this tune to your bike, flash the ECU, and go for a ride to records some logs!
