Was talkin about the TM a while back on this forum and somebody from San Antonio area replied that they knew how to adjust the TM to get better fuel milage.
Does that person still visit this site ?
Thanks

Seems after spending that kind of money on a TM, call the company, they should give you a map or at the least walk you through the procedure for fine tuning that machine.

Been using Tm for some years now.
And I've been on the phone and had them linked into my computer.
It ain't about the bike runnin.
It runs pretty good. Its the fuel milage part.
It ain't gittin good fuel milage.

Why not take your bike to a reputable dyno-tuner who is familiar with the TMAT.

Most dyno people don't work much with a TM.

It's worth a shot.

Have you tried going back to your base map and letting the AT do its thing?

I've had at least 6 base maps in my bike in the last year.
Had TM linked in live to my computer and let them do their thing also.
This is not my 1st TM . I have ran TM for the past 5 yrs.
I've installed them in over 6 bikes during that time.

Why don't you just adjust your AFR's in the rpm/throttle position range that you want to change? You might be running 13.6 right now, bump it up to 14.2.

There are a couple of good videos on youtube that describe how to adjust the Tmax. I used them and got great results on my Night Train. I am getting about 43-46 mpg if I control my right hand. The base maps and the map that the dealer set up got me about 35 mpg.

I don't know how to do it.
That is why I was askin about the person in San Antonio. Hes about 300 miles from me.
I was gonna ask him to do it, if I could get time to make it that far.
