On the fly injection map Sw. I just did one...

I didn't like Berg (or KTM690) OEM key.
The whole idea of changing map according to the terrain is great, but if you need to stop, to remove gloves, to remove the rubber cup, to twist the base, to rotate it to the map you want, to put back the rubber cup and to put back the gloves...you got the point.

I measured the key resistance. Was 15K in map 1 and 6.8K in map 2, and open circuit at map 0.

I bought std. SPDT SW from Radio Shack, and the correct resistor.
Some simple soldering and the switch was ready. Then I reinforced it with epoxy to protect the resistors.
Since I couldn't find the female connector to mach the OEM key, I took simple male-female connectors, sealed them, and install it instead of the OEM one on the wiring harness. Worse case I will connect it back, no big deal.

It might not look very pretty, but it super functional, and cost the fraction of the OEM key...

nice, but i was told NEVER to change the mapping during riding, so be careful with that. have you checked this?

You have been told by who?

And even if I need to switch off, change, and then to switch on, it's still waaaaay fater...

Nice stuf Mex, i also like where you put the horn. Was there enough space for it to sit there ? Or did you have to move some wires ?

I also am not sure of the right procedure when changing mapping, i tend to turn the dial to the one i want then fire the bike up and idle for 10 secs, switch off and presume its adjusted to that mapping. But i am totally ignorant of the way EFI and mapping works.

Having used all three maps for race and trail (i ride mainly tight woods, mud, roots, often wet) . I like the aggressive mapping the best when using the rekluse, if its even half dry conditions, because it lets the longer stroke 570 act like a 570 should.You can blip thethrottle and easily clear ditches, lift the front wheel over obstacles with a snap and it gives the right pwerband thro thelower gears when you hit an open straight. It just seems more suited to propel the weight of a big bore 4st and makes it more capable but still calm if you want. You are also more likely to throttle out of trouble on this setting, whereas i found the soft setting gets you into trouble and has very limited lower gear powerband, probably ok if you had miles of mud, root single track at 3mph.
The standard is a pretty good all rounder. I turned the dial to standard from aggressive when racing at the weekend as we had 2 hours of torrential rain at the start and the hill climbs were slippery, even the experts were coming off, and berg worked fine.
Sorry to wander off subject, just my thoughts while we're on mapping and 570.

Cheers,
Nick

The horn was a must before this weekend race, since the bike is so quite, nobody hear you even wheel to wheel. In our national enduro on the 2nd lap my category enter with the 1st lap of the beginners, lot's of back markers that we need to overtake. Without a horn you end without voice...
It was no problem of space, and the horn out of my Toyota Hilux fit right in with some grinding of the horn bracket.

About the mapping, I found the soft map just fine when muddy and slippery (which we will have now, it's the beginning of the wet season here), aggressive map for open or whoops, and the normal one for the rest.

Well done Mex. I'd rather make something myself than shell out some cash.
I'm still not sure which connector is used for the FI mapping. Is it the one behind the headlight with the black wire and brown/black wire. Anyone, feel free to comment.
Thanks.
 
I have found that I just put it on 'traction' and leave it there.

I don't compete, and I ride technical trails except when I am riding on pavement to get to the trails, so 'traction' works fine for me. With 12/52 gearing I can (and sometimes do by mistake) still lift the front wheel in 3rd gear, so I have no problem with needing more oomph to get over things.

To each their own. *shrug*

Here is another one he did.

I bought the connector to match the stock one. They have a minimum order or they charge you $15 so I ordered 4 of them. Also, my local radio shack didn't have the right resistor so e-bay Taiwan $3.90 for 260 of em. I made a small C/F dash and used a micro switch.

Just to give you more ideas.
 
Very trick tahoeacr. I'll try to make something similar.
And 69candy, thanks again for the info. :cheers:
