THUNDERMAX TUNER SOFTWARE
I was very impressed at the accuracy of this calibration, I spent the better part of an hour on the dyno reading the wideband from the dyno as well as both Thundermax O2 sensors in the Smartlink software all of which are in real time.

This bike currently has Rinehart true dual exhaust and stage 1 air cleaner and there was a Thundermax calibration for this exact setup. We went thru the gears and tested several different features in the unit. Started the bike and put it up on the dyno for some testing. We got the Thundermax installed in about a half hour.
THUNDERMAX TUNER FULL
You have full control of the fuel, ignition, AFR tables, as well as many other utilities such as idle RPM, rev limiter, decel fuel, speedo calibration, and others. The software itself is for the most part just like the earlier Smartlink with several updates and is very straight forward and easy to use.
THUNDERMAX TUNER DOWNLOAD
Once linked up the Smartlink software will check the unit for firmware and upgrades and if needed download them.
THUNDERMAX TUNER INSTALL
Before connecting to the software for the first time you will need to install the driver which is very straight forward. This will keep your software and calibration list up to date. For the software you will simply run the included CD and once loaded run the updater and it will automatically look for any new updates and will give you the option of downloading them. Unlike the earlier models, you do not need to initialize the unit as there is no IAC. You basically start by removing the ECM fuse, unplug and remove the stock ECM and replace it with the Thundermax unit, replace the stock nb sensors with the included Bosch LSU 4.2 sensors, plug in the O2 harness, re-install the ecm fuse and the install is complete. The Thundermax unit itself is contained in a very nicely CNC machined case and is very durable. The O2 harness wires are very durable and are silicone covered for protection from heat and the elements. There is less wiring and the harnesses for the Bosch Wideband sensors now plugs directly into the side of the Thundermax unit and is secured by 2 screws. The new Thundermax also now has the ECM and Auto Tune modules integrated into one unit. A welcome change is a standard USB connector for linking up to the Smartlink software, gone is the RS-232 DIN connector as used on other models. There are many new updates to the new Thundermax. Here is some info we put together on the updated Touring models Tmax unit:

The Thundermax is manufactured in the USA with quality components and carries a 3 year warranty.įuel Moto is fortunate enough to be involved in product testing of the Thundermax with Auto Tune for assorted models. The Thundermax Smartlink software allows adjustment of RPM Rev Limit, Idle Speed, Ignition Timing, best Target Air/Fuel Ratio as well as diagnostic codes and real-time engine data. The Auto Tune module can be configured within the Smartlink software to automatically adjust the EFI to defined target air/fuel ratios as you ride the motorcycle with wideband oxygen sensors to provide real-time feedback at all rpm's and load,for full-time AFR correction. The Thundermax module is a stand alone unit that completely replaces the stock ECM which means there is no wire cutting or splicing, just bolt it on and plug in the unit.
