RE: Thunder Max Overkill?

I agree with ULTRAKLA$$IC, Bart (Shooter64) had the best prices. It was actually an easy install, may be overkill in my application, but who knows what I'll do to the bike in the future? Only have a couple of hundred miles on it right now, but it does run really good and the engine is quite a bit cooler. Once I get 500 or so miles on this map then I'll start playing around with it, try and get some better gas mileage for the rpms I usually ride in. Getting 38 now, had 48 stock, so there's room for improvement. There's some low decel popping that I suspect is from an exhaust leak, re-fitted the Fatcats and think that'll help. I will say this, it does make me feel better that the AFR is now lower on a consistent basis, on the hot days (which we've had a ton of up here this summer) I don't sweat the engine heat so much. Watching the replay of the monitored runs (laptop, willing girlfriend) the head temps are staying lower, so in my mind other than the extra $ you can't go wrong. Just MHO.

RE: Thunder Max Overkill?

If you think your bike running GREAT is overkill, then yes. Really though, I didn't think it would as noticable. I installed it, initialized, and its been running GREAT ever since. It starts as soon as the starter button is touched, idles smooth, accelerates awesomely. It is also VERY tunable...even moreso with the new software updates. I can't say enough good things about it...it ROCKS!
