albert Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Does anyone know if the 280 needs a different map or will it run ok on a standard map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantic303 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Does anyone know if the 280 needs a different map or will it run ok on a standard map? it will also run with the standard body, but for the full benefits of the 280 you need a programmable throttle body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I found that the Mitani 280 map was good with the S3 280 but found for normal use the 250 with a good map is a much better set up unless you are heavy or have lots of big mud climbs etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_king Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 As above the standard maps will run with it fine but the Mitani 280 map works very well and will provide you with maybe the best overall result and power. I am currently writing review of a few maps i have been trying with the 280 barrel and Mitani exhaust. A brief review below: Mitani 280 Map: This maps has a nice spread of power. Off the bottom it is nice and smooth but the more you open throttle you start to feel alot more grunt and pull. However I did find that it felt like I lost a bit of engine braking. I also intend to test the Sanz 280 map but have not got round to it yet. I will post on here my review when I do. Wetflt Map: This one is perfect for tight sections or where grip is at a premium. Very soft and smooth across the board. Not ideal for maybe steep climbs or big rock steps but still very useful. It also has a lot of engine breaking which can help navigating steep climbs. I intend to be using this one a lot in the wet tomorrow Also I am not entire sure of the validity of this but when I bought my 280 barrel I was told that it would only work with a twin map PTB. I already had one so no big deal for me but please be aware. I cannot understand entirely why it is essential but just keep it in mind. Any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

A 280 works with the standard body and with the single and twin map PTB. The choice is to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Will it run ok with the std front pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_king Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 NOT TRUE. !!! A 280 works with the standard body and with the single and twin map PTB. The choice is to you. As I expected the standard body would work fine. I am sure the company in question were just trying to get some more money out of me. I No longer use them after several problems and no one returning my calls. Will it run ok with the std front pipe? Should do with out a single problem. I only got the Mitani pipe on mine due to a bit of luck. You could always try a Mitani or a S3 at a later date but save your money until you have at least got use to the new characteristics.

albert Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks for the help, I have had 4rt's for years but have never tried a 280 or maps. I have a ptb but haven't a clue how to set it up , but it's time to have a go at different setting. I am interested to see how much more grunt there is than the 250.

jimmyl Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Not wanting to burst your bubble but had an 05 for several years then changed to a S/H 09 with S3 280 kit fitted.Could not get on with it and even tried several maps but converted back to 250 std with Sains map. Love it again now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it again now. I am a tad on the heavy side, and have lost power on long climbs that require backing off then needing to go again. The bike is now a 280 but haven't used it yet, if it doesn't work out I will probably have a change . Just always wanted to try the 280 and got chance of one for the right money.

jimmyl Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Didn't regularily use it on big climbs or mud but would imagine with a suitable map would be stonker for that type of going. Trust you enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
