sides of this window.
24. “Initialize” the ThunderMax
ECM. With the handlebar switch
in the ‘ON’ position, cycle the
key switch on and off 3 times,
leaving the ignition on for 30
seconds each cycle. DO NOT
start the engine or move the
throttle at this point. During this
time, the fuel pump will also
prime and pressurize the
system. Check the system for
fuel leaks again. After 3 on/off
cycles, start the bike 2 times, let
it settle at idle for 10 seconds;
the idle should be smooth and
even. If so, shut down and
proceed to Step 25. Note:
Anytime the processor has
been powered down (battery
or special ECM Relay
disconnected) the ECM will
need to be re-initialized in the
manner mentioned above.
25. Open the SmartLink
software package by selecting
the icon placed on your desktop.
The following picture is what will
appear when SmartLink opens
for the first time.
26. Turn the key switch to the
“Ignition” position, making
certain the “RUN / OFF” rocker
switch (Kill Switch) on the
handlebar controls is in the
“RUN” position.
27. Select the “Link” Button in
the SmartLink software.
28. Read the map that is
installed in the ThunderMax
ECM by selecting [File] then
[Read Module Maps and
Settings] on the SmartLink
toolbar. This will copy the map
file loaded into SmartLink with
the map file loaded into the
ThunderMax ECM.
29. Before restarting the engine,
from toolbar click [Monitoring]
[Show Gauges]. The “Engine
Speed”, “Engine Head Temp”,
“IAC Position”, “AFR Front”, AFR
Rear” and “AFR Target” gauges
are automatically formatted and
are shown on the screen.
Additional gauges can be
created if desired (see
SmartLink Tuning Manual under
Help menu), but the above
gauges are most helpful during
initial set up. You may select
any gauges that you deem
important; if too many are
chosen your screen may appear
cluttered. Experiment with the
gauges but always display the
gauges mentioned above.
30. Select the “Monitor” button
to active the gauges. It is located
beside the “Link” button and will
turn green when the monitor
gauge function is live. The
gauges will be displayed if they
were not already on the screen.
31. Now select the IAC Stops
vs. Engine Temperature page.
Strike the spacebar to show the
actual values of the tuning block.
32. Make certain that the
motorcycle is in Neutral and the
engine is cold, then start the
engine. If the engine idle is
stable after 10-15 seconds, shut
the engine off and re-start it
twice more. Once the engine
idle is stable after 15- 20
seconds, select the “IAC-Auto”
button (Idle Air Control Auto
Adjustment). Allow the “IAC-
Auto” function to run at idle until
the engine head temperature
reaches 275 degrees. After
reaching temperature of 275
degrees, the “IAC-Auto” function
automatically shuts off. You can
terminate this function at any
time, and re-run it at a later time
if you wish.
33. Unlink the SmartLink
software from the ECM (click the
green [Link] button, turns red
indicating unlinked from ECM),
and physically remove the
Communication Cable from the
ThunderMax ECM.
