KTM 300 - two ignition maps?

[odonnks]

Couldn't find any info using search.

I read in some mag a few months ago that from the factory the 300 has two available ignition maps.

Is this correct?

If so how do you switch between them?

Can you do it on the fly?

Thanks!

there's a little wire under the tank(i think it gray)connected it's on full power

there is a switch that can be bought at extra cost.

It this true or is my leg being pulled??

I went thru this with a 06 WR450...

Found the article in a Nov 06 issue of Dirt Bike ( I just can't throw these away...)

Page 92.

Re the 07 300 XC-W......"The ignition has a remapped curve for broader power and you have the ability to alter the mapping if you purchase the hardware from your KTM dealer."

Is this just a remap or is this a switch on the fly system like the Vortex system?

I can't find info in the hardparts cat.

Humm A friend of mine just got this Bike, and Wow what a sweet Bike, we swapped Bikes for a bit..I liked it!!

This emap is some good info..keep us posted

Pg 44 of the owners manual provided the info.

...the CDI comes with two built in maps. Performance and soft. From the factory its set to Performance.

Unplugging the wire under the tank gets the soft curve.

There is also a KTM hardpart bar mount switch available to switch on the fly.

The 300 XC already gets great traction. I'd expect the soft curve to get even better. Like the 4-st Vortex ignition traction map.

Of course I'll need to try this...

well looks like u figured it all out. the slow is pretty much for like rocky, tight or muddy terrain

just another way KTM is keeping the 2 stroke alive and well. I wouldn't own another 2t just because these bikes are SO adjustable. Went with the soft mapping and green spring on my SX and it is as smooth and lugs as well as my 300 did.? With the 'on-the-fly' switch, you could adjust the power on a HS track with varying conditions with the flick of a switch. Very kewl...

Does anyone know the p/n for the switch?

I couldn't find it in the manual.

Any on off will do, like a light switch!! so long as it has a normally closed and normally open circuit its all good!!

which year models have this feature?

[odonnks]

I was hoping to find something more water proof. IF not I'll try a toggle type.

which year models have this feature?

I only know of the 07 since that's the year manual I have.

[gmoss357]

it started with the 07 bikes.

My GasGas has this as well and comes stock with a bar mounted switch, which works fine. Mounts on the right side, eaisly accessable with your right thumb. GG and KTM both use Koukusan CDIs, so it will work fine.

post may be a litttle late but i used the wr light switch only cost $20 and works / looks great

theres not a massive power difference or i should say there is not power gain just different delivery, the power band comes on a little harder it just seems to rev a little quicker.

still cool to use!!!
