Tmax - pretty crappy
It's pretty crappy after spending $700 to call Zippers tech supportand be told, "You're better off to dynotune the bike" because I have a stange motor build. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for their product. The whole reason I went with the Tmax was to NOT dyno tune. If I wanted to blow $300 for a dyno, I woulda kept my Race Tuner. Just venting here, not happy![:@][:@]

RE: Tmax - pretty crappy
Turbo I'm on the phone right now with one of the people at Zippers and I'll see if I can get you some info. Bill Lamb is calling me back and I'll see if I can get you some answers. I will need the information for the application.You do have the auto tune system?
The system is an adaptive system,but does need a map that is closeso that the auto tune can fine tune it with out such a big sweep. Then as longs as the bike is not pinging, backfiring on deaccel and has good acceleration after you have put a few miles on it you should be set. You can should also do a plug reading after 75-100 miles and make sure thatshe's running ok.The system has to learn after sampling the fuel mixture and then it will make corrections to obtain the correct fuel ratio. Sorry that the Zippers guy was not that helpful, but I'll see what I can do for you.

Am I understanding you correctly? You have a Tmax with the Autotune module and Zippers said you'd be "better off to dyno-tune the bike" when you called them?! Hells Bells! What in hell is their definiton of Autotune if this is the case?!
