Introduction

Why Advanced Maps Were Created

The SuperFlow system was originally developed with a classic manual enrichment map that has proven to work in a solid and reliable way in all kinds of situations. However, real motorcycle use is not constant: the engine does not operate the same way at low RPM as it does at high RPM, nor does it require the same mixture when riding slowly off-road as it does under heavy load or at sustained speeds on the road.

Advanced maps were created to address this reality. They do not replace the classic map, but rather complement it, allowing the enrichment to adapt dynamically to the real operating state of the engine at any given moment.

The classic SuperFlow map already represents a significant improvement over simpler enrichment systems based on thermistors placed on the IAT sensor. While those systems alter the signal in a fixed and uncontrolled way, the SuperFlow classic map applies a calibrated, repeatable, and user-adjustable correction, always following a logic that remains coherent with proper engine operation.

Even so, fixed enrichment has an inherent limitation: by applying the same correction across the entire operating range, it can improve areas where the engine was running lean, but it can also enrich areas that were already sufficiently rich. In those ranges, the result may not only stop improving performance, but can even worsen throttle feel or engine efficiency.

What Is an Advanced Map?

Advanced maps were created specifically to overcome this limitation of fixed enrichment. Instead of applying a global correction, the system analyzes the engine’s real-time operating conditions—engine speed, load, and throttle position—and calculates a specific enrichment percentage for each situation.

In this way, the system avoids enriching areas that are already working correctly and focuses the correction where it truly brings an improvement. The goal is not to add more fuel overall, but to precisely adjust the mixture in each RPM and load range, always seeking the best possible response, torque, and balance.

Differences Between the Classic Map and Advanced Maps

The classic map applies a fixed enrichment value defined by the user. It is simple, effective, and very stable.

Advanced maps, on the other hand, adjust enrichment automatically and continuously, adapting to real-world engine use.

In summary:

• The classic map is manual and constant
• Advanced maps are automatic and adaptive
• Both coexist, and the user decides which one to use at any time

Advanced maps do not aim to increase peak power by themselves, but rather to improve torque delivery and overall engine efficiency in each operating situation.

The classic map remains a very valid tool due to its simplicity, stability, and direct user control, and it is clearly superior to passive systems based on thermistors. Advanced maps add an additional layer of intelligence, allowing engine behavior to be fine-tuned by operating zones, automatically adapting to real usage and avoiding unnecessary corrections.

The Role of the Potentiometer in Advanced Maps

In advanced maps, the potentiometer does not represent a fixed enrichment value as it does in classic mode.

Instead, it acts as a global adjustment factor that modifies the overall character of the map:

• Lower values smooth the response
• Higher values make the engine feel fuller and more direct

The map itself remains the same, but the potentiometer allows its general behavior to be fine-tuned according to personal preferences or usage conditions.

Trial / Technical

Designed for maximum control at low speeds. It prioritizes smoothness, traction, and progressive response, making it ideal for technical sections, trial-style riding, and difficult terrain.

Enduro

The most balanced map. It delivers a solid response across the entire range, with special emphasis on mid-range torque. It is the most versatile map for real off-road use and the most extensively tested in the field. It also performs very well in urban riding.

Adventure

Designed for long routes and sustained riding. It focuses on smoothness, stability, and predictable behavior, helping to reduce rider fatigue over extended distances.

Road

Optimized for asphalt riding. It provides a clean, progressive, and well-controlled throttle response, improving rideability in daily use and on longer road trips.

Sport

A map with a more direct and lively response. It increases engine presence in the mid and high ranges and is intended for more dynamic and sporty riding.

Performance

This map is for testing, prioritizing a more direct response and stronger engine delivery under high-load conditions. It is not intended as a general-purpose map, as it involves higher fuel consumption and more aggressive operation, and therefore must only be used on engines without a catalytic converter (DECAT).

OEM and DECAT: Real Engine Adaptation

Each advanced map is available in two variants:

• OEM: for engines with a catalytic converter
• DECAT: for engines without a catalytic converter or with a free-flow exhaust

This is not about “more or less” enrichment, but about applying the correct curve according to the engine’s actual configuration. This ensures a proper mixture, avoids abrupt behavior, and guarantees a coherent response throughout the entire operating range.

Selecting DECAT does not add power by itself; it ensures the engine operates with the correct mixture for its configuration.

What Advanced Maps Do NOT Do

Advanced maps do not transform the engine beyond its inherent nature.

They do not:

• turn the motorcycle into a different machine
• modify internal ECU parameters
• apply enrichment without clear logic

They do:

• improve throttle feel
• improve smoothness and progression
• optimize real torque delivery and engine response

How to Choose the Right Map

There is no single “best” map in absolute terms. There is only the most suitable map for each type of use:

• Very slow and technical riding → Trial
• General off-road use → Enduro
• Long routes and travel → Adventure
• Predominantly road use → Road
• Sporty road riding → Sport
• Demanding, testing use → Performance

Map changes are immediate and fully reversible, allowing users to test and find the map that best matches their riding style. Nevertheless, we recommend starting with the Enduro map.
