Zippers Thundermax Auto Tune

The only thing at this point that intimates me a little, is the computer part of it. And what to do if I have trouble with the system. Sure can't take it to the dealer and have them work on it. But I know my bike can and will run better with the system installed. I just hate how lean the factory has these things running.

I totally suck with computers, but you would have to be brain dead not to be able to set this up. You can always call zippers for help.
I did when i was having a brain deag moment.

How does that sound?

I guess it depends on what RPM range you cruise in. I have the same type hump in my cruising RPM maps. The AFR is in the mid 13s at and just off idle leaning out to the low 14.s in my cruising TPs and richens up to the mid 12s at WOT but mine starts in the low 2000s and goes to about 3300 RPM (I'm not on my laptop so I can't look at the exact numbers) but on my Ultra Classic that is where I cruise. I don't usually run much below 2200 RPM and 73 MPH is 3000 RPM in 5th gear so I can go up to about 80 in the leaner range, but the faster I go the more I have to twist the gas because riding an Ultra on the interstate is a lot like pushing a sheet of plywood down the road.

Anybody tried updating smartlink mine keeps saying crc failed when it goes to install update?

[Streetglider 07]

Mine updated last week to the newest software level no problem...
version 17.10

[Snaps]

Newest version is 17.11.

I think it came out in the last day or two. I just installed it with no problems, although I've no idea what changes are in it. Looks like it might contain some new maps.

CRC stand for "cyclic redundency check" which means the software is checking to make sure it is good after the download, or something along those lines.

I would suggest that you try to donwload again and see what happens, worst case, you uninstall the software and install it again from the TMAX web page.

When I started it up today cold 65 degree engine temp it ran 1 minute and snezed and cut off. Thought it would have learned something by now. When mine gets good and warm it it runs fairly good with the exception of snapping the throttle 2 times and it sneezing while it was warm

I experience the same thing, except mine is when I blip the throttle at low RPMs. Thanks to the posts later on in this thread, I looked at the Accel Fuel setting in the manual and it has the following "Tuning Tip":

If you experience a pop or misfire in the intake tract while
blipping the throttle at lower RPM’s, lower Accel fuel value until the
situation improves.

Mine was set to 12.0 by the base map so I lowered it to 8.0 (the manual says Zippers recommends between 8-14). I haven't ridden it yet to see if it corrects the problem or not, but I'm crossing my fingers.

Can you plug it straight into a 07 FXST or do you have to purchase the Thundermax ECU aswell

You have to buy the whole unit, it takes the place of the stock ECU.

Ok maybe dumb question and maybe already covered but here goes, Ordered the Thundermax w Autotune for my 07 Ultra from cyclespot...what is the sight and is there a sight to download a basemap that is close to my set up?

[Snaps]

Here's the ThunderMax website.

And here's the Zipper's site.

All of the maps will be included in the software, but do a software update through the SmartLink program when you get it installed. There's a newer version out.

You can follow the links at the ThunderMax site here (scroll to the bottom of page) and download the manuals and software if you want to get a jump on things.

Why wouldn't it work????

[Davidswideglide]

Read on another forum that there was a issue with the A&B trip meters. I am so on the fence with this and just need to get over it and order one!!

My set up is going to be SE air filter (stage 1 HD) Fullsac crossover elimiantors and Supertrapp SE slipons...any one running this with the Thundermax A/T ? Is there a map for this or one thats close enough to start? My unit will be here Monday ......
