Default Thundermax firmware update

With the latest firmware update, did Thundermax remove the feature that allows you to set the number of engine rotations before it receives fuel/spark?

With that feature set to 1, my bike fired right up. Since the firm ware updated, it's gone back to the old sluggish startup. And now I can't find the feature in the basic settings.

I don;t know about updates, but I suggest that a couple of spins before firing is a good thing.

our motors don;t have much of a flywheel, so a couple of rotations to get momentum is preferable.

Compression Release delay is found in the Basic Settings area of the Module configuration. Mine is at 2 revolutions.

Journeyman, have you done the Feb 2015 firmware update. I'm regretting that I did. With the new update, compression relay delay is deactivated and in the box states "N/A This Firmeare". Has anyone had this issue? I can't be the only one who updated their firmware this year.

Thanks

Default TMAX firmware update

[QUOTE=Buiceman;13814138]Journeyman, have you done the Feb 2015 firmware update. I'm regretting that I did. With the new update, compression relay delay is deactivated and in the box states "N/A This Firmeare". Has anyone had this issue? I can't be the only one who updated their firmware this year.
I just installed the TMAX on my 14 FLHXS and did a firmware update prior to it. Just emailed tech support to inquire about the ACR,s and the rear cylinder cut out when hot. I want to make sure both are active and properly working through the TMAX. I installed a SE tuner on my 12 to find that the ACR,s were disabled after installing that tuner. I had hot start issues so brought it to the dealer. That's when they found them disabled, they were enabled prior to the SE tuner install. All was good again and no hot start issues when they put them back to enabled. I'll post back when I hear something from tech support.

no updates for me yet this year, good to know what you found.
Must be an oversight, let us know how this goes with tech support.
