Vortex ECU question 23' KTM 350 sxf

JBoneMotorworks

So, I am picking up a 23' 350 sxf and will be fitting a Vortex on it but have a question regarding the traction control and quick shift functions in the mapping and map switch.

I have head conflicting things, if I fit an ECU up, will these two functions work as intended on the stocker switch?

Thanks- J

ps- I have a rockstar 450 with a Vortex, (19'-22') and the TC did not translate.

As you probably know, The one you have on your husky will work with a remap,  but it won't run the quick shift or tc. 

There is supposed to be a new vortex that works with the quick shifter and tc, not sure about mapping.

I had a vortex with TD maps and on my 2020 450 it was too much, lol.

On my 23 450, I've had it remapped and the torque map is easy to ride and runs good.  The 2020.5 always ran great stock, the 23 was a little herkyjerky in corners.

Btw, one upside is the bars are less cluttered when removing the map button.

I agree, I did a bunch of mods to the RS450 and although the power went way up, Im finding myself trying to reel it back in rather than control it..vortex, full pipeset, TD flange, 60hp feels like from the second I touch it the throttle it's a rocket.

So I pulled the vortex and installed an older 20' stocker ECU that was flashed and smooth so we will see..Thats what led me to consider the vortex for the 350, however, I don't want to loose TC, QS I don't care about.

Thx!

Fwiw, the 23 with XPR map runs super smooth and clean, not sure whether TC is needed.  I am gonna go down to 49 sprocket as well since it feels like it would pull it. 13,51 was way too short on the 450

I think I did 14/52 to stretch out the final gear ratio, the 450 is amazing..but I think I overshot the power needs lol.

I am going to look for some 350 gearing options and see what's up with it after I ride it.

I have a 23 350sxf with the new vortex. Sounds a little more crisp on the overrev. Bought it straight from the vortex website. It definitely woke up the engine and allows it to just keep pulling, I’ve hit some pretty good jumps in first (also switched to a 49 rear sprocket).

The ecu works with the stock bar map selector and it claims the traction control/quick shift/ and launch still work. (Haven’t even touched em yet).

Im not sure if it’s loosened up the engine breaking as much as I was wanting, like a two stroke almost.

Also wonder the type of exhaust matters because  I have maps for an akro and stock exhaust. I did have some issues with the idle feeling too rich and with lo throttle, but am getting closer to the sweet spot as I just found some tips on the twisted development about setting your tps and fuel trim.
