thundermax problems

Thundermax has great instructions, have you read them carefully and did just what they say? You dont need to be connected to your ecm to pick a program and to set your basic settings. After you have all your basic settings put into the program you choose, then you hook up and link to your ecm.

this is a note I wrote to myself if it helps.

Need to completely re-initialize the ECM when choosing a different program
Find correct map in [EFI Maps] under [EFI Map listing / definitions], double click correct map, then [load Basemap]
In tuning maps tab, select [+] next to module configure
Select [basic setting]
Set rev limit, set speedo cal to (42450), then close
On top tool bar, select configure, then [closed loop module settings], verify closed loop, auto tune are checked on the map side (right side), then close.
Attach communication cable from laptop to ECM (motorcycle key switch, and kill switch OFF)
Turn key switch to ignition, then put kill switch to RUN
Select [link] button, it will turn green to indicate a successful link
Select [File], then [write mod maps and setting]. Answer OK to message to over write current map, then transfer bar appears while new map is being loaded.
On side tool bar, go to, [diagnostic codes] read, then select [clear diagnostic codes], close
On top tool bar select [Map editing], then clear (learned fuel adj.), (CLP offset), and (learned IAC adj.)
Select [basic setting] and verify speedo setting is 42450, final drive ratio 87, gear 6 min tps 40. Select [write basic setting]
On top tool bar select configure, select [closed loop settings]. On module side (left) verify closed loop and auto tune are selected.
Initialize the ECM. Key switch is on, kill switch is on run. Cycle Key switch on and off 3 times, 30 seconds in each position. DO NOT move throttle during this process.
DO NOT move throttle, start bike at least 2 times letting it settle at idle for 10 seconds. Idle should be smooth and steady. If not continue engine starts till it is.
Select [monitor]. Select engine speed, and engine head temp. Start engine DO NOT touch throttle, let engine warm to 245 – 285 degrees, then shut off engine with kill switch. Turn key off, remove communication cables.
BIKE IS READY
