I would suggest you go back to map #185.You said that one ran good. Put your speedo,drive and gear calibrations in the Basic Settings, , leave the fuel settings alone but set your idle to 896 rpms . Ride for 30+ miles in different speeds/conditions then run an Automap. Repeat this 2 or three more times and you should have a pretty good map to work from. After that you can start making other changes.

I agree. This is exactly what I am running, seems to be the best I've found so far (2012 TriGlide).

I looked at the map and realized that the cam specs for the Map that I was provided by Procharger were way different than what I'm running. I chose a new map that had cam specs similar to my cam, added a little extra fuel at the WOT settings and let the auto tune do its thing.

Its amazing how fast the ECM adjust fuel curves.

FYI, The ECM auto tunes AFRs but not timing. Thats why its so important to pick a map that's compatible with your cam and displacement.
You are correct in your "FYI" that TMax does not autotune timing .
It does however make timing adjustments for changes in Engine Temp,Barometer and Intake Air Temp when the engine is running plus a seperate scale for boost applications.

Checked the 243 base map and found the rear cyl timing was cut back 2 degrees. Went to the 185 base map and bike runs much better but I can still induce knock if hard throttle applied at lower (2.5 - 3K) RPM ranges in higher gears. Hoping I can get rid of that with some more tuning.
Have you read the troubleshooting guide titled "Ping Detonation" ?
I think you will be able to correct your "knock" problem with one of the methods described.

This is an older thread, but great info. Getting ready to install the thundermax on my streetglide trike, and this thread will definitely help me get it just right.
