2018 500 EXC EU map, still flamesout.

[EXC Yankee]

So, the bike flamed out a couples times this ride and last ride. Kindof a pop, then stalls at min. throttle opening. 

Bike is de smogged, stock exhaust, screens removed.I've increase the idle already. Im thinking of "slightly" moving the TPS sensor to increase the fuel.

Someone said something about being careful when moving the TPS when the EU map is loaded on the bike.

Anyone know what the issues are? Any suggestions?

If your ecu is unlocked send it to Blais racing in CA. He flashed mine and it runs perfect without touching the tps.

Thanks for the reply. I saw his ads and was thinking about that.

I'm not sure if you spend money trying to tune the stock ECU and ride a bike with a Vortex you won't just want a Vortex.

Thats why I wont ride a bike w. the Vortex. lol

I think shipping him the ECU nd his mapping will be similar to what the Vortex does... ignition timing and fuel adjustments at different rpm settings.

Im looking for the 500 EXC beast and to be quit frank (haha), I dont feel more power than my YZ426 had.

Put a Vortex on it and you will have you beast. I know!

dude your bike will always suck unless you change that ECU, unleash the beast and install the vortex unit.

I have the EU map and screens removed and mine flames out occasionally.  James Dean suggests pulling the reeds out since the EU map is designed for bikes without the reeds.  Does your bike still have the reeds in it?

The reeds are out.

Save the money and go with Blais racing. Chris can eliminate the flameout. I had the same crap with mine until he tuned it.

I agree..I'm going to send it to him.

Thanks

I'm happy with mine after Chris Blais got done with it. He added fuel and timing from bottom to top and upped the accelerator pump function. No stalls at all and pulls hard and smooth to over 100mph. I'm de-smogged, reeds removed, with a 4.1

 Thanks, I'm now confident he'll do a good job.

100mph.... what gearing are you running?

[500excf]

Btw how did you get the EU map in California with the new bike? Just asking because I thought ktm axed the Eu tune for the states.

I went +4 in the rear-14/49. This was on a level dirt road-I've seen 103 on a slight downhill on pavement. And yes, my tires/wheels are balanced.

[EXC Yankee]

Yes, i see it. I'm running 13/48.. hit 75, wasnt full throttle.

It can be done. I know someone who knows someone.

Blias requires that you already have the Eu map, for any further modifications.  They can no longer install a base Eu map , but other dealers still have the ability, not many but some.
