Part # 309-360 for Big Twin Models
Thank you for purchasing a ThunderMax ECM!
Please read through the following instructions before
beginning the installation procedure. Following these
instructions will ensure that the ECM is installed and
setup properly for optimal results. If you have any
problems or questions, please refer to the SmartLink
Tuning .pdf Manual, included on the CD (Help Menu)
with this package.
Step 1
Inse the SmartLink
CD into your computer.
SmartLink will automatically
open the InstallShield
Wizard when the computer
finds the CD-Rom. Follow
the instructions and install
the software on your
computer. If you do not have a serial port on your
computer for the communication cable, you will need to
use a USB to Serial converter (an inexpensive converter
is available from Zipper’s, #372-000). Install the included
driver disc at this time; follow the instructions given by
the manufacturer of the converter for installation.
Install the Th
rt
underMax and AutoTune (if

equipped) modules.
Special Note:
Module location on
some model motorcycles (notably all Dyna® and
Softail® Rocker® models) makes it difficult to insert the
communication cable once the module is installed. An
8” ‘pigtail’ harness is available (# 309-324) that can be
permanently connected to the bike’s ECM harness plug,
allowing a remote port for the communication cable if
desired. Compatible with ThunderMax ECM serial
number 114000 or higher (starting August 2008).
