Thundermax ECM Thread
#91
Just installed a newer model t-max (part #309-460) in my '04 heritage last night and did not see an option in the software to run IAC auto after writing the base map. I emailed t-max tech support earlier today to ask if it's no longer needed, and they responded already and said that feature is now seamlessly integrated to the software so users no longer need to run it.

A little background, 2012 Ultra, Thundermax ECM, K&N Air Filter and Rhinehart true duals. I the pipes and Stage 1 was done 3 months after I got the bike. I consistently got 33 mpg. Two weeks ago I noticed the vacuum cap was missing so I replaced it. Two complete tanks of fuel since. First tank 30.1 mpg, and second tank 32.3 mpg. Riding style did not change, riding area did not change, weather was same. I always run 91 octane. Don't understand the drop in fuel economy? any ideas? The other question is I knew I would have a drop in fuel economy with the stage one install but I think that is too large of a drop. The work was done by Zippers during Bikeweek 2013.
Take into consideration how much your bike cost, plus the mods, figure out based on your annual mileage and cost of gas, and then see how much 1 mpg really hits you in the wallet.
If your TMax has the auto tune module, it will continue to improve the map through a series of auto-tune sessions. So it's most likely that your mpg will get better just by riding it.

My 04 heritage had an SERT..installed in 05.
Dyno'd at 117 hp..it screamed w/o decell popping of any kind and fired up
Every time when I bumped the starter..
Mileage was around 38..
Suddenly, I had performance probs and mileage dropped to 27..
Installed TM..
gained 1mpg instantly, no decell pops..not instant starts yet..
TM started adapting and in just around 265 miles, mileage is up to around 35..
Starts instantly, cold or hot..
Performance screams..
Still gonna wait till around 750 miles to dump the data..
Expensive but well worth the upgrade to me.
All tips and pointers welcome

I assume you have ported heads. What cam, pipes, and throttle body are you running?

I believe my t-max and tssm are toast
I put a 107 kit in my 09 rocker and upon initial key-on my system relay started clicking repeatedly and gas started pouring out of my exhaust. I now have everything disconnected from the harness except the ecm and tssm, with the battery hooked up I get 6 volts on the computer ground (black/gn) and the power side of the run/stop switch (gray). Also all 3 wires for the factory diag port have continuity to eachother. Looking online, I found another person who had very similar problems when also doing a top end build and also with a tmax. My question is, has anyone else experienced an issue like this after disconnecting and reconnecting the engine harness? I did have the battery disconnected and ecm fuse pulled. This is an old style t-max that I've had since spring of 09. I did have the auto tune module crap out within a year, but it's been fine since except for the occasional speedo dropout.
