3 Key Features

3.1 Direct Link – Creating a Backup

Precautions: During the backup and programming, the ECU must be powered correctly. As an optional step to improve the battery performance/longevity, the LIGHT fuse can be removed and/or a charger can be connected to the battery.

To start you will need to click the ‘Get ECU Details’ button, the software will then prompt to create a backup of the current map in the bike. (Harley only. For Victory applications, there is no extra step needed to store the stock file, and for Magneti Marelli’s you can not back up the current map.)

1 Setup and Installation

1.9 Troubleshooting Com Port Issues

Under ‘Communication’, select ‘Port Setting’. The default setting is USB and should be kept on USB unless issues arise.
Important: If the VCM-TR1 is not powered by the motorcycle (VCM-TR3/VCM-TR4 and Maximus will be powered by the USB connection), then the correct COM Port will not appear (indicated by an illuminated LED). To rectify, press ‘Cancel’ and power the VCM-TR1 by turning on the ignition switch and making sure the engine stop/run switch is in the RUN position. Once the LED light is on, the Direct Link hardware is on, select ‘Communication’ and ‘Port Setting’ again to select the correct COM Port. The VCM-TR3/VCM-TR4 will receive power from either the computer or the motorcycle, so long as either is connected via cables.
