Anyone have any feedback for me on a map switch for the 390? I heard it makes a difference on the larger engines but not much on the 390.
 
I have the factory map switch - it is clumsy to use - engibne off, cap off and rotate the dial - there are better ones available that are like slide switches.

It DOES make a BIG difference - I ride with it on the 'SOFT' setting for better traction and more forgiving throttle response in the rough stough.

Regards

What cap are you talking about? The one I am looking at is the Husaberg aftermaket one. It seems to be just a simple button strapped to the bars.
 
What appears to be a button is just the shape of the rubber boot covering the the end of the small rotary dial type adjuster. As fizz has said it's very awkward to use and if it's cold weather and you have thickish gloves on, forget it.
I adopted the idea of others on this forum of modifying the indicator (blinker) switch on the LH bar as I've removed my indicators. You still have to kill the engine before changing maps but switch operation is 100% better. If you want to keep your indicators then, as mentioned, there are aftermarket map switches available but IMO they are a bit pricey. If I ever decide to refit my indicators I'll probably buy a generic aftermarket 3 position lighting switch and mofify that as they're much cheaper!
 
Sounds like a real pain. Don't think it is worth it to have a button that I don't really think I need. My 390 does not have a turn signal swith so this was my only option. I can pick up the Husaberg switch for $31. I am just not sure if there will be a big benefit with the 390.

I'm interested in this also, where can you get the switch for $31? I also heard not much of diff on the 390 but have no hands on experience.
 
I have a OEM Switch i took off mine. its a right pain to use so went down the indicator switch method.
Any one wants the OEM one. PM me.
 
The OEM switch is around $30, but as mentioned, it is a poor design. A pain to mount, and a bigger pain to use. 70 Degree Racing makes a nicer switch, but it is around $60.

I plan on cutting the rotary switch off my OEM unit in order to use the connector that plugs into the harness. I will then buy a 3 position switch from Radio Shack and a few resisters and build my own switch. There is another thread in this forum with the details on how to make the switch. It uses a blinker (indicator) switch, but I don't have one of those, so I will just use a Radio Shack switch. Then I just need to figure out where to mount it - along with the grip heater switch and keyed kill switch that I also want to add.
