Hi all,
I have a 2020 SXF350.

What is the best way to reduce the amount of engine braking?
I love everything about this bike but the engine braking, I like to carry momentum through/into turns and am normally standing with weight forward. I’m finding I have to leave the throttle cracked on just the right amount to simulate that roll into the turn. This is fine when I’m fresh but when arm pump sets in this is much harder to do and I find myself shutting the throttle completely by mistake and then getting thrown forward.

Get a Vortex ECU from XPR. The reduced engine braking was pretty substantial. Almost a free-wheeling as a 250 2T. Massive difference. A hack way of decreasing engine braking is to turn the idle up but I don't recommend it.

I had my stock ECU remapped by Twisted Development and it virtually eliminated the engine braking. I came off 2-strokes, and it's pretty close.

Same. Have one for my 19 FC350. The improvement in reduced engine braking, crispness, and fewer flameouts is worth the price.

Could probably get a lot of bang for buck with remap alone if funds are tight.
