slicktop Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Have a new to me 13 evo 300. Finally mustered the nerve to switch to Map2 setting and found that pressing the button does nothing. It will press down but will not click into the down (#2) position. Is there a process that I'm not aware of? Sweet Bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdale Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 It may be that some dirt has got down inside the switch mechanism, but more likely that the push switch locking mechanism is stuck. Push the yellow mapping switch button up and down a couple of times to make sure it is free. Then when fully up (position 1 - softer power) gently pull it up and waggle a little with your fingers, you may feel/hear a click. Then push down and it may hold in the bottom position - position 2- quicker response. Obviously, only change the mapping when the engine is stopped. This should do it!

outlaw dave Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 As above - but as it looks like you are in cold conditions that might also effect the operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty cold here with ice on the snow so I cant really ride it yet. Shipping was delayed and its been North Pole since, but at least I can finger it. I'll run tuner cleaner and dialectric when its a bit warmer. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have yet to find much difference between the two settings. Maybe it's between too much and slightly more too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicktop Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've been able to slide around on the ice about 400yds. Kinda like riding a wet noodle. Power delivery on map 1 was not too crazy, at least not right off idle. The throttle seems very smooth and controllable. I only dabbed about four times on the ice so I can see the potential for when the ground thaws out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Doesn't seem to make much difference on my 250, maybe a few extra revs right at the top end. I just leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Placebo switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0007 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 LOL, Placebo switch I flick mine around on the Evo sometimes but I can't feel much going on either Can they put Gyro on the bike so in turn on Balance control? Or like those auto parallel parking cars we can get a Zap or Splat switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicktop Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 After my first real ride, I've decided not to mess with it. This bike is a monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyt Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) If I remember correctly when these mapping switches started appearing on trials bike we could not feel any difference. We hooked up a timing light (to a Beta)and played with the switch. It was a long time ago but I think nothing happened with the timing changing until approximately 4000 RPM or high in the mid-range.

dan williams Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Kinda what I figured Billy. Since I spend so little time up in that range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyted Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Ha ha ha. How's this one. Brand new EVO 2017. Thinks " ah I'll try the maps ". Press once, and press again. " Can't tell any difference ". No wonder, it's not wired into the loom! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
