INTRODUCTION
The Tuning Link software interfaces the Power Commander with a Dynojet Load
Control Dynamometer controlling both the Dynamometer and the Power
Commander at the same time.
By utilizing the Dynojet “Real Time” air/fuel ratio monitoring equipment and latest
load control dynamometer technology, Tuning Link monitors the current air/fuel
ratio. At the same time, Tuning Link automatically calculates the correct fuel
adjustment to achieve the user desired air/fuel ratio. Once calculated, Tuning Link
uploads these new fuel values to the Power Commander and saves a copy of the file.
Tuning Link has the ability to map fuel curves in both “static” and “dynamic” modes.
This assures that the generated fuel curves are correct for both steady state cruising as
well as during aggressive on/off throttle movements. This technology allows the dyno
operator to accurately optimize the motorcycle in a very short time, regardless of the
motorcycle’s modifications.
The Tuning Link software operates in three modes:
• Bike Break-in/Warm Up
• Steady State Fuel Mapping
• Roll-On Fuel Mapping
