How to save the modified calibration

Click "Save icon" or go to "File" menu and select "Save As".\

Always save the original calibration before programming new calibration so you can restore your motorcycle back to stock.

Type a new file name that you will remember. Click "Save".

TIP: Name the file a special name so you don’t have any problems finding and opening the new modified file. You should always retrieve your stock tune and save it before you make any changes so you can always go back to the stock tune in case you mess it up too bad.

15

You can edit or modify "Calibration ID" and "Calibration Note" if you want. Click "OK".

Now, after saving the calibration, proceed to “Program” it to the ECM.
