Just put a deposit down on a 'normal' 300 EXC TPI as I can't find a 6 Days.

Should be here in two weeks.

Is the 'map' switch worth fitting, I know it only alters the ignition not the 'map', on my old 2008 300EXC you could hardly tell the difference.

Anyone on here know if there is any noticeable difference between the two settings?

If its a 2018 it only changes between two ignition curves. Not worth buying in my opinion.

On the 2019 it is different, it changes between maps instead of ignition curves.

How? 19 is same electrics as 18. That’s a significant change.

According to HQV dealer its got a new ECU. Cant say if thats true or not. He said there are two maps to select on the 19, two ignition curves on the 18. He also said that on the HQV the switch is standard but has to be bought for the Kato.

Here we go, got that from a KTM/HQV dealer. 2019 TPI 300's can have two maps installed which you can change with the map switch. Same applies for 2019 HQV's.

It's just ignition curve though, not fuel map.

Sorry mate, just read again. Its the map, thats why you feel a difference now...

Steveman.

Thanks for info, I will now get a map switch sorted.

I don't suppose you have a picture of that whole page?

In the paragraph above I think it is describing the sport map, but would like to read the whole thing if possible?

I'll try to ask the dealer if he can send me a pic of the whole page.

If the 2019's are having two maps it means they must have completely new ECU. I think that would have been mentioned when they listed the updates for 2019.

I couldnt get the page from the dealer. However, its what he said and he may be wrong. But if so, how do you understand what it says in the owners manual above?

It is a bit strange. Have you found any parts list for 2019? It would be interesting to see if the ECU has a different part number.

Unfortunately not. I am confused now as another dealer said you cant switch between both maps.

Same part number for both 18 and 19 tpi300 cdi #55641031000

Mh.... strange.
