ThunderMax Deceleration Pop - Tuning Methods and Other Info User Manual

Repeat the above process using slow feathering of the throttle position from closed to just 
open or even a little more at times. 
 
What we are trying to accomplish, is to give the AutoTune system exposure to and the time to 
adjust in areas which are NOT quickly developed in normal riding. 
 
Also by providing slow and consistent throttle changes, transition fuels and other conditions are 
more stabilized, providing the best opportunity for the AutoTune system to accurately make 
adjustments. 
 
Before repeating the above process again, stop, turn the engine off, restart and repeat the 
above. 
 
The AutoTune module will be “signaled” that it is OK to increase if needed and do more 
aggressive adjustments. 
 
The entire above process should be repeated using the following Rpm limits as a guideline. 
2500 rpm down to 1500 
2750 rpm down to 2250 
3000 rpm down to 2500 
3250 rpm down to 2750 
3500 rpm down to 3000 
4000 rpm down to 3500 
4500 rpm down to 4000 
5000 rpm down to 4500 
 
These rpms can be adjusted and spend LESS time at individual areas if the Deceleration Pops 
become quieter. 
 
Spend more time doing this process in Rpm ranges which are problematic. 
 
Proper tuning of these areas not only reduces deceleration pop but also “increase” throttle 
response as throttle is re-applied. 
 
Turning ON the Deceleration Cut Feature: 
 
If after the above “tuning” process, the Deceleration Pop continues at an unacceptable level, 
then the Deceleration Cut Feature can be activated. 
 
Adjustable variables within the Decel Cut Feature allow customizing it to fit the needs of 
particular rider preference as well as the dynamics of different engine and exhaust 
combinations.
