ThunderMax Models w/96”Engine ARB EO # K-001 - Manual

# 309-375 for Cable Big Twin Models
Thank you for purchasing a ThunderMax 50 ECM!
Please read through the following instructions before
beginning the installation procedure. Following these
instructions will ensure that the ECM is installed and
setup properly for optimal results. If you have any
problems or questions, please refer to the SmartLink
Tuning .pdf Manual, included on the CD (Help Menu)
with this package.
Step 1 Affix the
Executive Order Label.
Enclosed in this
package are (3) labels
with the approved Air
Research Board
Executive Order
identification number.
This label must be
affixed to the module in
the machined pocket
found on the face of the
ThunderMax 50 ECM
(see photo). You must
attach the correct
label for your bike’s model year:
2008 – E.O. # K-001
2009 – E.O. # K-001-1
2010 – E.O. # K-001-2
Step 2 Insert the SmartLink
CD into your computer.
SmartLink will automatically
open the InstallShield
Wizard when the computer
finds the CD-Rom. Follow
the instructions and install
the software on your
computer. If you do not
have a serial port on your computer for the
communication cable, you will need to use a USB to
Serial converter (an inexpensive converter is available
from Zipper’s, # 372-000). Install the included driver disc
at this time; follow the instructions given by the
manufacturer of the converter for installation.

Step 3
Install the ThunderMax with AutoTune modules.
Special Note: Module location on some model
motorcycles (notably all Dyna® and Softail® Rocker®
models) makes it difficult to insert the communication
cable once the module is installed. An 8” ‘pigtail’
harness is available (# 309-324) that can be
permanently connected to the bike’s ECM harness plug,
allowing a remote port for the communication cable if
desired.
All Models - Locate the fuse box that contains the ECM
fuse, remove fuse labeled “ECM POWER”.
Softail® Models
ST-A: Remove the seat, locate and remove the ECM
fuse. Remove the stock ECM from the motorcycle and
the wiring harness plug from the ECM. Lift the battery
up from the oil tank and remove the battery cables
(negative first). Remove the battery.
