SAVES AND TRANSFERS
Using the Charge changes are in real time if the computer is linked to the ignition.
You can create and save numerous files on your PC and transfer them for testing purposes or to use for
various locations and conditions.
The following instructions will go through a general description of the use of the Charge following the tab
system that you will see in the software.
INSTALLATION
The Charge FI system is a piggy back system that will plug directly into the factory electronic system.
The unit can be placed on top of the battery next to the ECU with no cutting, drilling, or other permanent
modification required.
1. Open the hood of the Yamaha Rhino 700
2. Take the cover off the top of the battery compartment (Found directly in front of the passenger)
3. Unbolt the stock ECU (small black box in the front, outside corner of the battery compartment [10mm
wrench required])
4. Take both pin connectors out of the ECU and plug them into the MSD Charge FI unit.
5. Plug the pin connectors from the MSD Charge FI unit into the ECU.
6. Bolt the stock ECU back into original location.
7. Select the desired tune using the small White selector.
8. Take off the rubber strap holding the battery in place.
9. Set the MSD Charge FI unit on the battery where the rubber strap will cross over it.
10. Replace the rubber battery strap, battery compartment cover, and close the hood.
11. Enjoy.
PROGRAMMING
When MSD View is installed, opened, and connected to the Charge FI, PN 4245, setting options will
immediately appear. To start, the user will see 10 tunes (0-9) as tabs across the top of the screen. Each
tab represents a Tune that has the same setting and table options. Tune 9 matches the machine’s stock
settings to act as a bypass and is closed to editing. Tunes 0 – 8 are each programmed to meet the needs
or a variety of riding styles.
To select a specific tune, turn the White knob of the end of the Charge FI unit so that the engraved arrow
points to the desired tune number. The White knob is easy to mar, be gentle while adjusting tunes so that
the arrow will be able to be read the next time it is needed.
PREPROGRAMMED TUNES
Below each tune on the 10-position dial is described so that you can select which is the best starting point.
All tunes are editable except for the last position (9) so that the vehicle can always be returned to stock.
Note: Users who have performed significant modifications to the vehicle will need to edit the tuning for
safe functioning. MSD has not altered any Fuel or Timing tables by default and running on stock
settings could cause damage in some modified vehicles.
