Default TBW Thunder-Max

Talked with Zippers Tech support today.
There is a new map for the TBW TM owners. It hasn't been released yet.
But will be released soon. You can still git the upgraded software from TEch support.
I was given a link for it and upgraded my TM

I was sent a zip file.

Please note this is for Throttle by wire on 08 and newer touring bikes only. If you don't have TBW do not use this update.

Was told on my 103 without cats and a high flow air kit and Supertrap stouts to use map 183
Plus after you download the new maps and install them you have to do a firmware update.

If you install the new map and after crankin it it might idle at around 1500 rpm , When I reset the base map to 1050 and tried to recrank it , it would not crank. I checked all the fuses and they were good. I pulled the 60 amp fuse and reinstalled it and it cranked and worked great.

Thumbs up

Thanks, I did the firmware update which seemed to at least partially enable grayed out features on my '12 SG...Runs better and seems to idle smoother too. I had map 113 and 183 map replaced that.

YOu got the same map as me.
Rode mine today over 100 miles. Runs a lot better. Seems to have more pull.
