My suggestion would be a simple flow or process chart WITH checkoffs to be sure that items like saving the files you create are actually completed before it's too late.

Your above post answered 1 of my questions. This issue seems to be critical for NEW motorcyles where the baseline ECM contents are not in the maps provided on the CD.

Also, it would seem to be to be far easier to retrieve the current MAP from the ECM and adjust the specific components requiring attention than to reload a map from the PC over what is already installed. SCARES ME!!

MY DELIMMA (THIS IS UNIQUE I KNOW)

THE BIKE: A 06 Ultra WITH a NEW 103" H.O. motor (and 6 speed tranny. Not that that makes a diffference).

SERT SOFTWARE: The newest version out with the "127" maps for the H.O.

THE PROBLEM: It seems that with the new ECM changes for the 06's and the new 06 softwarethat some of the maps got "corrupted" according to the factory reps. The corrected maps MAY be available by --say OCTOBER !!!! NICE CUSTOMER SENSITIVE SOLUTION "MBA" HARLEY GUY'S. Now what was it again you suggested that the customer is told??

A possible "work around solution" I thought of is to:

Open the highest performance 1550 Map that IS NOT CORRUPTED on the new 06 SERT VERSION and start making changes SLOWLY.

Save the incremental maps and load the results into the bike i/e:

SAVE # 1
The configuration: 1690 H.O. 6,500 RPM, Knock Sensor = On
Warm Up/Deceleration/ Idle MAPS

SAVE 2

Increment the values of the 2006 1550 MAP by at least 5% in the low ranges -- 20% thru 60% throttle.

Go For a test ride and try it out.

In your experience, am I on the right track or is there a easier way to get this thing operating properly and on the road?

Regards

In theory any MAP will work to start off with but the closer you can get to your build, the less you will have to tune it in. My GUESS would be that your method would work but a Dyno would probably help considerably.

I would consider 6200 rev limit and knock=off while tuning.

In a stroker motor the piston speed and piston acceleration are elevated. If you want better longevity, run a lower rev limiter setting.
