Default Initializing Tmax

When changing maps on the thundermax, do I need to go thru the ritual of starting the bike for ten seconds twice, then letting it warm up again each time I make a change? The instructions are a PIA to get around in. I can't find a map that's close to my set up so I'm having to experiment with different one's, just like I had to do with the PCIII. I did a search and I'm finding that a lot of folks are making adjustments to the Tmax after installation. This is what I was hoping to avoid and why I changed from the PCIII, but it seems that's not quite the case. I'm giving this thing one more try and if I'm not satisfied I guess I'll go back to the PCIII or maybe try something else.

Give Zippers a call, they will tell you the closest map to your configuration. And yes you do have to initialize after changing maps

Post your setup and we can help.

Put simplythe most important choice is throttle body/injectors, after that displacement. Exhaust, cams,etc will be easily adjusted for. The wide band w/auto tune is much more tolerant than the open loop PCIII.
