Not all cables work. There is a specific chipset that has to be in the cable. The Rocket III sites have a few posts on which cables work. Should be about $20 on ebay. I use TuneBoy and have the cable and software. The TuneBoy cable is said to work with TuneECU . With a header/filter change and a retune my bike dyno'd at 150 ft lbs torque and 150 hp

Quite correct. Avoid no name ePay cables. Spend a few bucks more and get a cable that is known to work. Here is one such example: http://www.lonelec.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=32
TuneECU's site carries a lot of info. I'm sure that there's a Triumph page somewhere with extensive info. If not, the same software also runs on KTM's and here's the superduke.net "official" thread on its use;

Install TuneECU, download the tune you want and follow their instructions for where to save it.
Connect OBDII cable to computer first, allow drivers to install.
(Optional) Disconnect headlight fuse to save battery
Turn on bike but don't start it.
Connect OBDII cable to ECU.
Wait for TuneECU to connect to your ECU.
Save factory map somewhere safe on your computer.
Download new map to ECU.

Yep, pretty much what Macs said.
Here's more info. The following is from a thread entitled "Tune ECU for Dummies", located here: http://www.triumphrat.net/ecm-and-fi-tuning-help-tips-and-tricks/218346-tuneecu-for-dummies.html
These instructions were used on a 2010 NJ2 Speed Triple 1050.
You don't need any tools. Remove your seat and the ECU cable connector is just sitting in front of the fusebox (behind the tank)
Start laptop
Plug cable into laptop
Start TuneECU - select the map view / edit mode
Plug cable into bike
Pull headlight and tailight fuses (save battery - Keihin ECUs don't like a voltage drop). The 2 fuses are marked on the underside of the fusebox cover. 20amp and 5 amp respectively
Turn on ignition (do not start bike)
Select Connect from TuneECU menu (it may auto-connect)
On the TuneECU menu - Read your map (this backs up your ECU's current map on the bike)
File -> Open your new map file
Select download to the bike - this takes about 1 - 2 minutes
When finished - select disconnect from the menu. This is important you do this before turning off the ignition as it "closes" the program mode on the ECU (mistake I made)
After TuneECU disconnects - Turn off the ignition
Put fuses back in
Wait 10 - 15 seconds
Turn on ignition
Reconnect with TuneECU
Select Reset Adaptation (takes about 30 seconds for the menu item to come selectable as TuneECU connects).
Once reset and with Tune ECU still connected - start your bike. Make sure you don't touch / twist the throttle - just thumb the starter until she fires (get your grubby hand off the throttle grip ok?
Watch the TPS indicator at the bottom left corner of the TuneECU screen. When it goes green (after about 5 - 12 minutes bike has to come to temp etc....) the ECU has baselined the TPS
Disconnect ECU on the menu
Turn off bike
Disconnect computer from bike

Even if they put arrow tune I am sure there have been updates since.
Very important... Adapter will install new serial port.
By default speed is set really slooooow. It can take long time to upload tune.
While adapter is connected to PC change speed on the port.
I usually set it to 115200 if I remember correctly.
Port number will probably be different on your PC.
Download your current tune first for backup...

I think you got it, but if it doesn't pan out, holler. Gluck.
