Hi everyone,
I got the FI calibration tool for my 2019 KX 450 and wanted to see if anyone had any links or instruction as to how it is installed (and used) on the newer bike? The online pdf stops at the 2018 and I've been looking around and found nothing. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you rewrite the map using the white coupler with the Keefer settings, and then were to simply switch back to the green coupler, would the setting go back to those of the standard green coupler or would the re programmed ones still be in there?
Sorry, but this is a tad confusing and the instructions/manual are not the clearest

Basically these couplers are each assigned a mask that goes on top of the base map. The kawi tool lets you edit that mask. The green coupler has all zeroes from the factory which means it lets the base map go through unmodified. This is how the Yamaha and GET ecus work too.

Rather than starting a new thread, I figured I'd revive this one to keep the info together since surprisingly, this is the only forum thread I've come across on the KX Calibration tool. I bought one on Marketplace for $150 and it came with everything except the sub-harness. Do I need that or can I program couplers without it and then plug them into my bike. The one I got only goes up to 2016 which is fine for my 2013 KX450f (hoping I fix the notorious popping these bikes are famous for) and 2013 KX250f. But I also just picked up a 2023 KX450 and want to program Keefer's Cha map to make it smoother at low throttle settings. Now, I do have the cable that goes from the controller to a coupler so can I just program a coupler with that and then plug it into the bike or do you really need the sub-harness and do all the programming on the bike? There were no instructions and it's confusing on the process. Thanks!
All the coupler does is tell the ecu which of three maps to use. Just connecting a coupler to the tool will not do anything, it needs to be connected to the bike.
Ok, I thought the file was on the coupler and the ECU re-flashed it when changed. Sounds like I need to buy the sub-harness.
