Okay,
I got to talk with the guy who is in charge of building the motors for KTM off road today and told him about this thread and if he wouldn't mind giving me the straight dope on how the burn works, and how the system compensates as you ride.
Burn In: The MAP sensor is used as a type of baro sensor, and in combination with the air temp sensor, and the coolant temp sensor, the ECU places fuel delivery, timing etc to a place in the map using those inputs. EG, it determines density altitude and how much fuel should be delivered at that point.
As you ride the MAP sensor, air temp sensor, and coolant temp sensor fine tune the fuel delivery to maintain the predetermined point in the overall map for optimum performance. He went on to tell me that these changes are not huge, but, are noticeable.
Further, once a bike that came with an 02 sensor has had the closed course map flashed into it, the 02 sensor is no longer used.
And I believe him, as my bike has never thrown a code that is associated with the 02 sensor.
Dale
