Step 5:
Next, go to the [Tuning Maps] Tree and click
the [+] sign next to [Module Configuration] to reveal
the [Basic Settings] command. Open the Basic
Settings window and click the [Speedo Cal] button (list
window appears).
Verify that the Speedometer Calibration is set for your
year motorcycle based on the chart. If it is, click
[Cancel]; if it is not, enter the correct value and click
[OK], then [Close] the Basic Settings window.
Step 6:
Now that the Base Map is loaded into the
TMaxII
Tuner software; you must ‘Write’ (transfer)
the Base Map to your ThunderMax ECM. With the
communication cable connected, linking to the module is
now automatically performed with the TMaxII Tuner
software when the handle bar and key switch are in the
on/run positions. Turn the ignition switch on; the red
[Link] button will turn green to indicate a successful link.
Once linked, from the toolbar click [File] [Write Module
Maps and Settings], answer [OK] to the 'To Running
Position' command in the 'Module Configuration Write
Options' window that opens; the transfer bar then
appears during the map load. Once the Base Map has
been written to the module, clear any active Diagnostic
Code readings and Learned Fuel Adjustments that may
have been created during the live module testing
session that each ThunderMax module must pass.
While linked, from the Tuning Tree select [Module
Configuration] [Diagnostic Codes]. When the
Diagnostic Codes window appears, select [Clear
Diagnostic Codes]. After completing this step, proceed
to [Map Editing] menu on the tool bar and select [Clear
“Learned
Fuel
Adjustments (CLP
OFFSET)”]. These
steps ensure you
will be starting with
a “clean slate” Base
Map.
Step 7: Initialization Procedure
IMPORTANT STEP BEFORE STARTING
This step is required for new module installation, or
when interruption of 12v power to the ECM takes place.
Example: battery change, removal of maxi fuse, etc.
Turn the ignition switch on with the handlebar rocker
switch to the run position for 20 seconds, uninterrupted.
Cycle the ignition switch off and on, then start the
engine. Let the motorcycle idle on its own for 15
seconds. Cycle the ignition off and restart the
motorcycle; normal idle speed should be attained
depending on engine temperature. Warm-up cycle will
have slightly elevated idle speed (approximately 1200
rpm) until engine reaches operating temperature. To
disconnect from the PC, click the Unlink button (turns to
red),
remove
the
USB cable and snap
the
weather
seal
plug into the USB
cable port. Position
the
retainer
plate
over
the
weather
seal and tighten the
retainer plate screw.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and
set up your ThunderMax ECM. Now it’s time to ride the
bike and let ThunderMax optimize your EFI system!
Several riding sessions that allow the engine to reach
normal operating temperature should be completed with
as much variation in terrain and RPM as possible.
Your ThunderMax customizes your map based on your
engine, ambient conditions and your riding habits. Once
several sessions have been logged, link to your
ThunderMax and select [TMax Module Control Center]
for an automatic analysis of the adjustments that have
been made, and follow prompts for further action if more
optimization is suggested.
