Next, 

‘Initialize’ the ThunderMax ECM.  Initializing 

synchronizes ‘home’ positions for the TPS and IAC, and 
is a required step any time battery power has been 
interrupted or established to 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, then off for 30 seconds, 
each cycle.  DO NOT start the engine or move the 
throttle during this process.  After 3 on/off cycles, make 
certain that the motorcycle is in neutral and start the bike 
2 times, letting it settle at idle for 10 seconds; the idle 
should be smooth and steady. Some engines may 
require several on/off engine starts to initialize properly.  
This initialization process must be performed any 
time battery power is interrupted to the module (after 
battery servicing/winterization, etc). After initialization, 
shut off the engine, but stay linked for step 8.
