So after finding out my ECU is to old for my 2019 is I have a basically useless ecu off my 2016 kx, trying to sell for 400 bucks, everyone keeps asking me what it will go on and I have no idea it's tuned for a 2016 kx450 but no idea if it will work on other makes if tunes for them any insight on this please and thank you!

Basically any relatively new Suzuki, Kawi, 17+ Honda, 16+ KTM etc. maybe more but you'd have to check on your own. Really the best thing to do is to call Twisted Development and check with them before buying or selling...if you plan to purchase their maps. I can't imagine they would have any problem loading tunes for a 2019-2021 KX450 onto your ecu. Should be the exact same hardware. To be clear, I'm not suggesting to call Twisted to kick tires, only to see if they can update your current ecu for you.

Hmm you sure about that? Looks like you should have the 8G box which fits most current bikes. I just had an 8G originally tuned for a Ktm 450 updated with maps for my 2021 KX250. Who told you the ecu was wrong?

Trying out the vortex at lake Elsinore today. It’s fucking awesome. I’m on map 3 which is map 1 (most power on dyno) minus 2 degrees ignition timing. The bike pulls much better off the bottom end. If I kind of lug it in third through an inside line it recovers much better than stock. Second gear is a rocket out of corners. There’s noticeably more power everywhere. Honestly, it’s perfect. The bike is bone stock aside from the vortex mapped by twisted and some t4 in the gas tank.

Edit, I just tried map 1 and god damn it woke this bike up. I wish I had actual dyno numbers to see how much it picks up with this tune. Bottom to top, the bike shreds. I’m in love. May put a pipe on it when they’re available just to have fancy shit, but it doesn’t need more power for me.

Nice I’ll be doing that too. I have one on my Honda and use T4/u4.4 and same thing it made more of a difference than anything else. Have you thought about a 51 tooth rear sprocket to make third more useable thru corners?

Luckily I found a pro circuit ti-6 in an eBay online store and put that on today so between that and the vortex should rip
