A bit more specific please.

What OS are you running and if you could get a desktop shot of the "error" and post it maybe we could identify and help further.

Default RE: HELP! thundermax firmware trbl! got it fixed i think

Well i was just messing around and thought i would update the smartlink software and that worked. Was then able to get the new firmware to load. Put about 200 miles on the bike after the new firmware and my next question is do i need to change something to get the decel pop to stop or will the tmax now auto tune it out?
