How long will it take the average Joe to install the the thundermax auto tune and is it working well for those who are using it.Thank you much Peace and Prayers

 

Since there's no such thing as an "average Joe" I can only tell you how long it took me.

4 hours or less with proper planning.

(1) Make sure that you have a set of O2 sensor sockets. You can rent them from Autozone.
(2) Make sure that you have an 18x1.5mm thread chaser to clean out the bungs after removing the OEM O2 sensors.
(3) Some people have reported difficulty removing the screws that mount the ECM.
Apply some liquid wrench to them the night before.
(4) Make sure that you have the correct torque specification for the new O2 sensors. Check the H-D service manual for your bike.
(5) Assuming that you possess "average" wrenching ability - it's an easy morning or afternoon install.

Roadchaser, the only potential issues you couldfaceare if you have an oil cooler onthe bike or if your pipes don't have O2 bungs. If you don't havean oil coolerbut have the O2 bungs, then the install should takeno more than acouple hours max. The auto tune module plugs right into the existing wiringand then it's just a matterof running theO2 sensor wiresto theO2 bungs on your pipes.Remove the stock O2 sensors, theninstall the newO2 sensors, whichwill screw in to the O2 bungseasily. The average joe can knock this one out.

THUNDERMAX HAS NO EQUAL!!! ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER!
Ihave tried the fuelpak and agree with most... it sucks! I bought an 02 removal tool from autozone and with a couple 6 inch extensions I had my sensors out in no time. the pipes I have on now are santee over unders. I had the bungs welded in at my indy for like 20 bucks, he even cut them out of my stock pipes.... thats what I call customere service. I also have the ness big sucker installed. The bike never ran well.... until..... I installed my THUNDERMAX. Install was a snap, had it in in just around an hour. The way it works is that you find a base map that is close to what you have and the autotune does the rest. Exhaust manufacturer is not key, only the style i.e...2-1, 2-2 and I believe with or without baffles does not matter. I havent had it on verylong, but it was incredible!!! Except that I am an idiot! I loaded the wrong map, one that had cam upgrade, and my bike still ran great. I was noticing a little hesitation in 6th, so I decided to check the map and guess what!? Yep, Im an idiot. Cleared the learned stuff and reloaded the new map and went for 20 mile ride, and guess what?! IT GOT BETTER!!! This week I am going to install my Klockwerk pipes and bub 7 mufflers and see what happens. I can't wait!!! Another cool feature I found out about is that YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE IT DYNOED! If you have a lap top and a saddle bag or a way to secure you computer to the bike you can record a ride and send it, with any concernsto zippers to be analyzed. They will then give you some recommendations. Somebody was saying that they have them for sell pretty cheap, I got mine from cyclespot for 6 and some change with autotune. If he can beat or come close to that price I would get it from him. You know he rides or at least visits us that do. BTW, Im cashing in my extended warranty to give to my local indy, I know him and he knows me. Bro's take care of Bro's!!

 

I agree. The difference is like night and day with Tmax compared to stock. Runs much cooler, and still amazed at how it pulls through the gears .

The Thundermax was much easier to install on my '06 bob than the Fuelpak was. Buy a new set of wire mesh exhaust gaskets if you end up removing the exhaust. Read the tuning manual http://www.thunder-max.com/Support/I...g%20Manual.pdf It alot of reading, but it's all good info.
