Z-Fi Mapper Overview

Each Z-Fi is supplied with a USB cable and easy to use Z-Fi Mapper Software. This sophisticated program is 

designed for experienced tuners. With just a laptop, a tuner can make tuning adjustments for any of our products either at the track or on the dyno.

Using the Z-Fi Mapper on the bike

1) Plug your computer into the Z-Fi unit with the supplied USB cable. Newer Bazzaz control units will be powered by the users computer via USB cable, older units will require the motorcycle power to be on.

2) Start the Bazzaz Z-Fi Mapper program.

(ProgramFiles\BazzazPerformance\Z-Fi Mapper)

3) The Z-Fi Mapper software should automatically connect to the Z-Fi unit.

4) Make and save changes according to the instructions on the next few pages.

5) Be Sure to EXIT the Z-Fi Mapper program before powering down your computer or unplugging the USB cable. Failure to do so may cause your laptop to lockup.

6) You can create maps when you are away from the bike or when the bike is powered down by choosing the “Work Offline” option when prompted. In this case you must select what type of device you are creating a map for from the pull down menu.

7) Note that some of the TABS of the Z-Fi Mapper software may not be available to view, based on the type of Z-Fi unit that you purchased. For instance, you can’t access the Traction Control Screen if you did not purchase a Z-Fi TC unit. Similarly you can’t access the Self Mapping screen unless you are plugged into the bike and you have a Z-AFM unit installed.

By purchasing the "Z-Fi", “Z-Fi MX”, "Z-Fi QS", "Z-Fi TC", Z-AFM (hereafter Z-Fi) the buyer/user acknowledges and agrees:

5) For Self Mapping to start, the following conditions must be met:

 A) Engine must be running for more than 60 seconds.

 B) RPM must be greater than 3000 RPM.

 C) Throttle Position must be greater than 5%.

NOTE: Turning the power to the vehicle off will not disable the Self Mapping feature.

11) Select the fuel map tab and inspect the map for any values that are extremely high or low compared to the majority of the cells nearby.

12) Experienced tuners may choose to modify any outlining values as identified in step 11. We suggest using the SMOOTH BUTTON if you are a less experienced tuner. 

13) Go back to the self mapping tab and repeat the process starting with step 1. Be sure to hit CLEAR. Best results are typically achieved in 2 iterations of these steps.

B) Use the mouse to select range of cells to fill with the same value or to change by a fixed value.

C) Sensitivity is on a scale of 0 to 10; 0 is OFF (i.e. NO TC) 10 is maximum Traction Control.

D) For more Traction Control enter a higher number. For less Traction Control enter a lower number.

E) A setting of 5 is a good base setting for the average track enthusiast.

(2) CUT LEVEL MAP

A) Enter Traction Control Cut Level adjustments directly into cells (NOTE: Adjustments are saved directly into the Z-FI memory).

B) Use the mouse to select a range of cells to fill with the same value or to change by a fixed value.

C) Cut Level is on a scale of 0 to 10; 0 is the minimum setting, 10 is maximum setting.

E) A setting of 5 is a good base setting for the average track enthusiast.

NOTE: The cut level map is based on TPS as indicated by the TPS values to the right of the Cut Level map.

(3) HANDLE BAR TRIM SWITCH READOUT

A) Displays the position of the handlebar trim switch.

B) The trim switch allows the rider to increase or decrease the Traction Control sensitivity while they are riding.

(4) TRACTION CONTOL OVERALL TRIM BY GEAR

A) Allows user to increase or decrease the Traction Control sensitivity by gear.

B) Can also be set to OFF for NO Traction Control in any desired gear.

ADDITIONAL TRACTION CONTROL NOTES:

The final TC sensitivity that the rider feels is a sum of Sensitivity Map + Trim Switch + Trim By Gear. In the screen shot shown above, TC  overall sensitivity equals 5 (from the base map) + 2 (trim switch) + 0 (trim by gear) for a total of 7.

Note that overall TC sensitivity is limited from 0 (off) to 10 (max). So if the map is 5, trim switch is 5 and trim by gear is 5, the overall 

Sensitivity will be 10 (not 5+5+5=15)

(1) TPS ERROR

A) Throttle Position Sensor connector not properly installed or a problem with the Z-Fi wiring harness.

B) Incorrect wires spliced by the user for units without a Throttle Position Sensor connector.

C) Throttle Position Sensor is faulty or is out of factory adjustment range.

D) Faulty Z-Fi control box.

(2) RPM ERROR

A) Crank Position Sensor connector not properly installed or a problem with the Z-Fi wiring harness.

B) Incorrect wires spliced by the user for units without an RPM connector.

C) Crank Position sensor is faulty or is out of factory adjustment range.

D) Faulty Z-Fi control box.

(3) Z-AFM ERROR

A) Z-AFM not plugged into Z-Fi harness.

B) Air Fuel Sensor not plugged into Z-AFM.

C) Faulty Air Fuel Sensor or Z-AFM.

(4) TPS CALIBRATION

Allows user to calibrate Throttle Position values in order to accurately display Throttle Position values from 0 to 100% based on each 

individual motorcycle’s Throttle Position  voltage output.

A)    With bike powered on, software launched and connected with USB cable, close throttle completely and click on READ CLOSED 

        BUTTON. Open throttle completely or to 100%. Click READ OPEN BUTTON. Save calibration. Now the Bazzaz system has been 

        calibrated to accurately read your bikes specific Throttle Position Sensor.

(5) GEAR CALIBRATION

This feature allows user to calibrate the Bazzaz system to properly determine the gear position of the motorcycle regardless of any internal transmission gear ratio changes. The stock settings have been set at the factory. We do not suggest changing these values unless you are 

running a transmission other than stock.

A) This calibration must be performed with the clutch fully engaged and the engine above 3000 RPM, making it necessary to use a dyno or rear stand. Exercise extreme caution when using a rear stand as the bike may fall off the stand. With the bike running, software launched and connected with USB cable, place the bike in 1st gear, release the clutch, hold the RPM’s steady at 3000 RPM or greater and click the LEARN 1 BUTTON, wait momentarily while the mapper calibrates for 1st gear.  Once the value above the LEARN 1 BUTTON changes, place the bike into second gear and repeat the process.  Repeat these steps for gears 3 through 6.  After completing calibration of 6th gear, your bike should read all 6 gears correctly.  You MUST calibrate all 6 gears in order for the calibration to be correct.
