Ktm 250sxf Bog

Sorry if ktm bikes cant be posted on this forum, but dont seem to be getting much help on the ktm forums. I know that husaberg and ktm use the same sort of fuel injection systems. i have a ktm 250sxf 2011 with 15 hours on it, and it bogs coming out of corners then picks up. If the bike is just sitting on the stand and throttle is blipped it also bogs and sometimes dies. The injector has been cleaned and seems to be fine, i have the ktm inline filter in and a splitstream bag in tank to stop dirty fuel.Does anyone know what my problem could be? Help much appreciated. Thanks.
 
I know some of the early Bergs had to have the ECU reprogrammed or flashed to a newer, updated program to fix some bogging issues. Seems the FE's were getting flashed with the FX's program. Maybe that might help out the program,,,not sure...
 
Yes, I have been told to that the KTM250 is the exact same EFI computer as the Husaberg models use.

I guess it could be anything. Have you gone through all the basic stuff?
Clogged Air Filter.
Clogged Muffler.
Spark Plug.
Still could be the injector. You might have got a piece of dirt in the fuel line when you put it back together after you cleaned it.
Has it got a decent Spark?
Or like CrazyTed says, it might just need a different EFI map loaded in, I have no idea.
Could also be a fuel pump issue which would be hard to check without a fuel pressure gauge.
Maybe Coil or Coil Lead at a long shot but I am guessing you would see some other issues other than just bogging down.


In "general" EFI term, the TPS (Throttle position sensor) is "usually" responsible for that instant Fuel Mixture enrichment at the exact time the throttle is opened quickly. The TPS sensor is mechanically connected to the Throttle Body Butterfly, which is directly connected to the Throttle cables, so it is the first sensor that knows the throttle has opened quickly. The TPS sends a signal to the EFI Computer that causes the EFI Computer to open the Fuel injector to let extra fuel in quickly and stop that bog down feeling. I am not sure if that is how it works in the EFI Keihin setup but that is how it works in some other EFI Computers. Having said the TPS does all that, you would think the EFI Light would flash 6 x Short Flashes to say you have a problem with the TPS Sensor or wiring.

Did you take it back to the dealer?
 
Thanks for the help. I was really careful putting the fuel line and injector back together, so there shudnt be no dirt in there. I dont think it is an injector issue as the bike can run fine and rev fine most of the time, just every now and again it bogs and dies, or bogs then keeps running. I have ordered a new plug and cap as have heard of people having problems with them. The air filter is fine,why would a bike that's been running fine for 15 hours need the mapping or ecu changed in any way. Also the tps has the protective boot on it and I have no fi fault codes coming up. Thanks
