ThunderMax Timing vs. TPS (More Complex - Best Method) - Manual (Page 3)

Next, it is preferred that the increasing rpm pages have gradually increasing “timing”. This
provides smooth rpm transitions at “Light to NO load”, such as revving the engine on the kick
stand.
1536 @ 22 degrees
1792 @ 25 degrees
2048 @ 30 degrees
2340 @ 32 degrees
2560 @ 34 degrees
and so on…….
You can “test” these values by the following method.
While on the “kick stand” VERY CAREFULLY try to advance the engine RPM 100 rpm at a time
and hold at that rpm. For example 1200,1300,1400 etc… up to 2500 rpm.
If while doing this, you experience the RPM seeming to “hang or stop increasing” even though
you continue to increase the throttle position, then the timing at that rpm, in this REGION
perhaps needs to be advanced.
When properly set, you will be able to “fully control” the RPM as you “slowly and steadily”
advance the throttle.
Tuning this RPM will produce “smooth throttle/rpm transitions” from close throttle to higher
rpms. Such as is experienced when applying slight throttle increases to “coast around a
corner”.
Normal Steady Riding Region (Green Area): Steady Cruise, Level Road.
It would be VERY RARE to experience ping in this region. The engine is under such LIGHT load
that advanced timing simply causes “irregular/jerky” engine operation, maybe even
accompanied by exhaust “popping”.
