A power commander would be an example of a piggy back tuner because it works in tandem with the stock ECM and has to stay connected to the bike. With Thundermax, you simply remove the factory ECM and put the TMAX in its place. Great for warranty work because as you stated., it never writes to or alters the factory ECM in any way. You can always pop the stock ECM back in if you need to.

Just a question, if you put a tmax in, put say 15,000 miles on it, and ran into an issue with say the motor. So you put it back to stock configuration, including the ecm, when a dealer plugs in the bike to digital tech, would it pick up the mileage discrepancy and the missing data? Not sure if the ecm keeps a record of dates for ignition cycles etc. Just curious.

My son just did this on a warranty claim on his 2017 and the moco didn't seem to know squat
