2024 KTM EXC XC-W MODELS - MAP SWITCH & TRACTION CONTROL & QUICKSHIFTER

MAP SWITCH

A newly developed, optional Map Select Switch finds its way onto the 2024 KTM EXC range, as is designed for quick, easy operation. On the 2-stroke range, the Map Select Switch allows riders to select between two engine maps, while on the 4-stroke range, it has multi-functionality, being used to toggle between engine maps, Traction Control, and Quickshifter options. Map 1 is the standard, more mellow map for linear, predictable power, while map 2 is an aggressive map for added throttle response and a more crispy explosive power output.
TRACTION CONTROL (EXCLUSIVE TO 4-STROKE)

Traction control is selected to an on- or off position from the switch and functions by analyzing throttle input from the rider and the rate at which RPM increases in the engine. If the RPM increases too quickly, the EMS registers a loss of grip and reduces the amount of power to the rear wheel ensuring maximum traction. This provides a distinct advantage on low-traction, dusty hardpack surfaces or in wet or muddy conditions and can be fitted as an optional extra.
QUICKSHIFTER (EXCLUSIVE TO 4-STROKE)

The new optional Quickshifter function can be activated or deactivated via the new map select switch, allowing for clutchless upshifts, with the throttle fully opened. A sensor on the shift drum notices the force on the shift lever, sends the signal to the ECU, and the ignition timing is interrupted. To prevent unintended shifts and false neutrals, the function is only active from 2nd to 5th gear.

Thank you for the video, do you have the part number for the map switch? My Canadian dealer is unable to find it. My bike is a 2024 XCFW 450 if that changes anything. Thank you!

My dealership's know nothing about this. They say it's for the EU bikes only. Not sure why it's so hard to get accurate info on these

Not one video has mentioned the all important fact that to use the quickshift feature on anything other than the six day bikes which have the map switch installed from the factory you MUST have the dealer activate the feature at a cost !! Very annoying and dodgy should not be saying the feature is simply added by adding the map switch because it does not work I have a 2024 KTM350EXC-F and I tried for ages to get the dam thing to train and come on in the end I was told oh actually you’ll need to bring the bike in for us to use the XC2 tool and activate it oh and here is the $300 bill good one KTM
