Thundermax ECM Thread

I just added the T-Max -
and went through the timing chest with mods in signature. My FXD is no longer the same machine. Gets finer with every mile ridden. As soon as I get some significant mileage on the changes, I will go back into the T-Max and observe what is happening.
Now, there was no base map close to the changes I had made, especially b/c of the cam choice. So a stock map with free flowing pipes was the best I could get. Bike feels on the rich side, but compared to how poorly it ran in closed loop, I don't care.
I would also like to say that the 26H cams was an awesome choice. Pulls like a freight train in any gear at any speed. My year seems to have unusually high gearing, stock could not use 6th gear effectively even at x-way speeds, the 26H cams let it lope along as low as 60 mph now.

I have an opportunity to pickup used/new (never been open) TM model 309-360 from a private seller. Model #309-460 super seeded this one. It is 2-1/2 years old, but like I stated never has been open. I contacted TM and the assured me it will work for my 06 electrglide, and as long as he has never registered it and I get the receipt, the warranty is still valid. I think for about 6 months, since it has allready 2-1/2 yrs since purchase. I have not verified that part yet. I am trying for $500, but most likely more around $600. He wants $700 OBO! Is it worth it, knowing the warranty will soon run out?

I did not use mine for atleast a couple years after the purchase was made. The first install is when the warranty started, it stated so in the registration and software updates. I also remember 3 years warranty.
If you do purchase it, the first usage will take up an afternoon with all the software, firmware, registration etc. And keep the VIN of your bike handy seems to me I needed it a couple times. Once these obstacles are cleared it's smooth sailing.
Would purchase this product again, what it has done for my bike is amazing.

I'd probably opt for that instead, imho.

Low end
Read the Thunder Max manuals. Map adjustment a little confusing for me. . Seems to me most of the adjustment is dedicated to the mid and upper ranges. Does anyone have any input on the lower end. My 103 with stage 1 upgrade seem under powered wants to shudder unless I rev the motor and ride the clutch when taking off. Not sure if it is tuning or mechanical. Just had $2000.00 (extended warranty) repair to motor, cams lifter etc. MY trike is a 2011 with 97000+miles.
Thanks
P.S. Like my present mechanic but he prefers dyno wants me to remove Thunder max. Not on the same page.

How many miles since you last did an auto tune?
In the meantime, until someone jumps in here with some suggestions, I would recommend to run a data log and send it to Zippers, describing the problem you have.
