Anyone know of a good tech on sunshine coast or northern brisbane who does Thundermax dyno tuning?

Cheers

I think Rollies speed shop does. Does it have auto tune?
You can do it yourself.

It is Auto tune was just wanting to put it on the Dyno to confirm 100% that all running sweet

I have had a Thundermax/AutoTune on my 2010 Fatboy Lo since I purchased it new, fitted it myself with the correct map, no decel pop and always runs great. No Dyno for me it has enough power for what I use it for.

hey i could not help but pickup on the Thundermax talk. These systems do work, but trust me they eventually fail, and when they do you are stuck on side of road. I know fourpeople who have been stranded, especially in heavy rain, water must get in. My advice keep standard ECU and have someone who knows what they are doing tune withSE race tuner. No added parts, KISS principle.

I had 2 thundermax units fail on my last bike. The first one just stopped working and was replaced under wty. And the auto tune module failed on the second one out of wty. I did keep it on the bike but I had to turn off the autotune to stop it screwing with the map.
I do like the idea of them but may not use one again.
Gone with the power vision this time.

hi drac , i have had a few bikes non my dynos , thundermax wide band etc and been way of the mark , they can be hit and miss units ,but have also had guys had good run with them  i think if people like to check there bike on a dyno then do it , i have 2 bikes and 3 cars and there all dyno tuned , cheers

Sorry to hear and it must be frustrating. Hopefully you have the oem ecu. Power vision seems the go but tts' latest software has spark timing assist which is another step in addition to optimising ve tables

The first unit i had just failed completely after a few weeks.
Bike just would not start and as I bought it from the USA I had to send it back and they replaced it.
Then about a month or so later I noticed that after restarting the bike it would run like shit and backfire for a few minutes and then come good. I came the conclusion that it was not holding memory of what it had learned and would reset to the base map when I restarted the bike, so I went for a long ride and then stopped and disabled the autotune which allowed it to keep the tune it had learnt. I also had the same issue as you where you would be riding along and the speedo would stop and the dash lights would come on. Turn it off and back on and all good again. Sold the bike soon after that so I dont know if it completely died. I like the power vision. Just been out running the auto tune feature for the first time. Looks good. Cheers

Look everyone has had something fail at one time or another. The problem is too many people are buying into the latest advertising. The truth is ther is NO SUCH THING as auto tuner for a HD motorcycle let alone and other combustion engine. If you lucky enough to have a base calibration, close enough to what you have installed then you can trim them in, if not you need to trim the fuel and spark in for your application. So that is just why we read about people who love or hate brand XYZ.

Get over the fact that there is no such thing as a true auto tuner on the market today and you can then do what's needed and move on. I feel that you should stick to the factory ECM and tune it. If I were to do that I would be using the TTS Mastertune. Oldest on the market with most units sold worldwide and one of the largest if not the largest selection of base calibrations for a HD Delphi equipped bike

What I am saying, there is NO such thing as an auto tuner. One would be led to believe an AUTO tuner is something that tunes the engine by itself, after all isn't that what AUTOMATIC means. The truth is no one device today even Mastertune does that. While there maybe plenty of tuning aids included with a product they do not do it by themselves. An end user that is willing to spend the time to learn and use the tools provided can do a good job on most late model HD engines but no matter how hard you try, that is NOT Auto tuning.

Let's start by saying I am in no way stating that you as a customer cannot do the job, you just have to be willing to spend the time to learn and do the job correctly. That may mean different things ie: other tools are needed but you can do it and do it nicely. Some people would prefer to pay someone else to do the job too and that's OK, me I like to do it myself and learn but that may not be for everyone.

+1 to what Steve says. The mastertune has very good base cals. I used it to tune my fatboy with both stage 1 and stage 2 mods. It ran exceptionally well with the base cal. A mate had his breakout tuned with the SEPSTfrom the dealer and all i can say is it was a very ordinary tune compared the the cal we eventually put in from Mastertune.

I have no affiliation with tts. I just give credit where its due.

 I agree with Hosh!! Plenty of base cals that put you pretty close to the mark and some blokes just load the base cal and ride with good results and no problems !!

Cheers !!

i have to agree with steve , 100 % , there is only one way to tune abike , regardless of tuning module used , to find last few percent being  timing ,etc , fuel system  eng issues , etc ,

 

 

 

 

Actually the OEM ECU IS an auto tune system. In closed loop mode it will adjust the VE tables to achieve the set AFR. Those trims are then saved and reused. The difference is that the OEM unit uses narrow band sensors.

KB the ECM can do some adjusting but the tune still needs to be done by a human that knows what they are doing no matter what system is being used, Steve used to make the original SERT for HD and that morphed into the TTS Mastertune of today, if he shares his knowledge with you then you are getting many years of experience for free.
