Flashing indicates activity.

enabled connection’s activity.

RideTuner.

3.

Finishing Installation

Testing your FuelMaxx and RideTuner modules

Using RideMaxx

The RideMaxx Auto, MaxxPower, and MaxxFuel Economy settings on the RideTuner

Two default pre-configured maps, per-

formance adjustment files, are installed 

as MaxxFuel Economy and MaxxPower. 

The third setting, RideMaxx Auto, does 

not  require  a  map.  All  three  settings 

eliminate backfiring and increase throttle 

response.

For further information on maps please see 

the 

Installing Maps

 section on 

page 24

By default RideMaxx will start in the Ride-

Maxx Auto setting when you start your 

bike. This setting will alternate between 

the economy and power settings depending 

on your throttle position.

The MaxxPower setting, once selected, will 

prioritize horsepower and acceleration.

The MaxxFuel Economy setting, once 

selected, will prioritize mileage.

When the FuelMaxx power LED indicates and the RideTuner toggles ride options (

see 

FuelMaxx green LED

) RideMaxx is fully functional. Replace your seat and bolt (

Softails

or cowling and saddlebag (

Baggers

). 

Congratulations, RideMaxx is installed!

Note—RideMaxx will always start in the RideMaxx Auto setting when you start 

your bike unless configured otherwise with the included software. Once the RideTuner 

is asleep, any button press will awake it and indicate the current setting.
