Trail Tech Ignition Map Switch

I was looking for feedback from someone who had your product on a Husaberg 4-stroke.

But since you've answered, how does your product work? The description on your web site is rather brief. Thanks for responding!
 
Yes I do.

It just plugs right in (behind the headlight). Really, really wakes the bike up. I thought it would MAYBE be noticable, but she turned into a monster.I was amazed! I keep it on "wild" mode all the time as I get addicted to the increase in power.

I think you have to shut the bike off in order for the "switch" in power to take effect. Unlike the KTM 350 for example.
 
Just put one on my '10 FE450. Obvioulsy not much different in funcitonality than the KTM one, but a heck of a lot easier to get to (looks good too).

Quesiton for the Trail Tech rep though: the instructions regarding the three different setting are a bit unclear. Is "Stock" between "Mild" and "Wild" or is "Mild" the lowest setting? And is "Stock" actually stock or some other setting?
 
I bought one of the Trail Tech Map Switches and started to install it on my 2011 FE 570s, but the instructions don't seem to be accurate that came with it... According the instructions, the connection is under the seat, however I notice above where someone said it was behind the headlight... I'm thinking behind the headlight is accurate as I found an open connection that fits there, but not under the seat anywhere unless I disconnect my fuel pump connection... There are also two other wires to connect (power and a ground I believe) that are supposed to replace the kill switch... My question is if I don't want to replace the kill switch do I still need to connect these wires for the map switch to work and if so, where do I connect these? Since I have the street legal "s" version, my kill switch is different than other models and it doesn't make sense or help to mess with it as it is incorporated into the same controls as the starter... Anyone know the answer to this??? Thanks in advance for any help!
 
The Trail Tech switch (don't have one yet but am getting one) selects one of the 3 available ignition maps that are already built into your computer. The re-mapping your dealer does changes the fuel injection mapping. This is usually done on the FEs because they have a very lean fuel map. What they install is the Competition map that comes standard on the FX
 
will switching my ignition maps screw up what the dealer did? can you explain this to me just a little more

No, won't screw up anything. The fuel map you dealer is putting in will get the motor running good and will still give it enough fuel if you put a less restrictive exhaust system. The 3 way Trail Tech switch is basically just advancing or retarding your timing on the ignition. Wild=advanced timing, lots more snap. Mild=retarded timing, more docile pull to the motor. Stock with or without the switch would be right down the middle.

The fuel your motor needs is determined by the fuel map and is not affected by the ignition map switch. Hope that helps.
 
Yes it does! I am so happy thank you. I am a carb guy you know old school. So one more question. How does the dealer reprogram the fuel map anyway? Is this something we can mess with with the user setting tool?>
 
The maps can only be loaded with the dealers tool. the user setting tool allows you to make further adjustments to the fuel map the dealer has installed.

The switch you have is the version for the KTM and the off road only Husaberg as I understand it. It will work just fine with the Husaberg, but on the FE570S Husaberg the plug is located behind the headlamp mask. On the offroad versions, the plug is located under the seat. Also, the two extra wires are only for the kill switch. There is a version of the Trail Tech Switch that does not have those wires and has amuch shorter length wiring loom that is designed for the FE570S and leaves your factory kill switch intact. Most guys with the version of switch that you have just leave the kill switch wires disconnected and continue to use the factory kill switch. I hope that helps.
 
Yes, the information you gave me matches up with what I learned as well. I am sending my version back to exchange for the alternate 570s version. Thank you for responding!
 
OK, I received my replacement map switch and installed it, but I have to admit that I'm confused... The switch has three settings, Stock, Mild, and Wild... According to the instructions, the stock position is not really the stock map. To be more specific they say the following:

Stock = Less aggressive power delivery than stock
Mild = Mildest power delivery
Wild = Standard map used from factory

Is this really true? I read on an earlier post in this thread that this map switch really wakes up the bike, but based on the information above, it sounds like the Wild setting is really just actual stock map... If anyone can please clarify this, I'd really appreciate it... I haven't had a chance to ride the bike and play with the different maps yet, but will next weekend...
 
I spoke with Trail Tech itself and confirmed that the instructions in my earlier post were in fact correct... This means that the "stock" setting is not really the stock map. In reality, the "Wild" setting is actually the map the bike comes with... So, if you are buying the switch to make the bike more aggressive, don't. If you simply want the two lower map settings that are less aggressive and mild, it may still be an option that is worth it to you... I still find this hard to believe, but I asked the guy twice to make sure we were communicating correctly... If anyone has any other information, I'd love to hear it, but wanted to pass on what I heard directly from Trail Tech...
