Installing a new Base Map from the software

1. Clear any opened maps from your screen by selecting the X located at the upper right corner of the map as shown below. The X will appear as either grey/tan or white/red depending on the size of the opened map.



• Go to EFI Maps > EFI Map Listings and Definitions.
• Select the desired map by double clicking anywhere on the definition.
• Select “Load Base Map” from the Base Map Name Encoding window.
• Go to File > Write Module Maps and Settings.
• Go to Map Editing > Clear Learned Fuel Adjustments.
• Go to Map Editing > Clear Learned Idle Control Adjustments (this step does not apply to Throttle By Wire systems).
• In the Tuning Maps tree, go to Module Configuration > Basic Settings to confirm the correct Speedo-Cal value for your year and model.


Initializing the Module

A. For ThunderMax systems on bikes with cable throttle control

• With kill switch in run position, cycle the ignition switch 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, 3 times.
• Start engine and let warm up to operating temp without touching throttle.


B. For ThunderMax systems on bikes with Throttle By Wire control

• Turn the main power and rocker switch ON for 20 seconds uninterrupted.
• Cycle the main switch OFF and ON, and then start the engine.
• Let the motorcycle idle on its own for 15 seconds and shut off.

Remain linked to the module to monitor the engine temp during warm up. At 275°, unlink the software, turn the bike off and disconnect the cable. The bike is now ready for a test ride.
