TPI tuning

The red seat needs to go ASAP! That would be my 5 year old daughter. Best part of the video for sure (more near the end of the video)!

Awesome. Enjoy the bike! I just rode a 2024 YZ250F for the first time yesterday

it was painful, but worth it for the EFI. So smooth compared to the KLX!

start by checking the engagement point on your clutch lever. It's that's fine, look at your clutch plates.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked the video. Just having fun on the bike 🤙 thanks for watching!

it really depends on what type of riding you're doing.

@@ShiftGearsMoto trail riding

@HailMich great bike then 👍

If you've never been to a pro national, I would highly recommend checking one out. Incredible experience.

The CUO does not change the mapping, just engine characteristics.

@@ShiftGearsMoto yes but it doesn't matter if you are in map 1 or 2? It's the same? I rode in some topics that the engine parameters works in map 1

@@lcinotti13 it works in either the white or green map. For example, reducing the engine braking will have same effect in both maps. With that being said, I only use the green, aggressive map.

@@ShiftGearsMoto thank you so much from italy my friend

you're welcome! I've got a few more videos on the CUO coming soon.

Yeehaw!

looks like they updated the model slightly. Same fitment.

ooof

$250 is for the GPS and unit. The KTM app is free, but you have to pay $70 per year for the LITPro integration for all the statistics like lap times, segments, etc. There is no additional fee to adjust the engine characteristics. It does not show overall mileage, just what was recorded.

You've got to try it sometime. MX is a blast.

The track changes are really nice. I like the new jumps around the track.

On the 23/24 SX-F models you can tune the engine braking with the CUO. It's actually a really nice feature.

No it's not. The hose plug is only on one side.

certainly wasn't my best day, but I'm back on the bike. Thanks!

how else do you clean a bike?

@@ShiftGearsMoto blown away they are that water tight !

@RT-tn4ry they’re made to get muddy and wet. Just don’t get water in the airbox or exhaust.

I was ready to toss the bike. I think the barrel actually slowed me down when my back tire hit it.

After reading through all of the comments I see that has been answered. I guess my next question would be where do we get the new maps?

To update the engine characteristics yes. There’s no maps, just tuning.

Sony a6700 and GoPro hero 10.

It’s an awesome bike! I adjusted the clutch after the ride. Hopefully Josh will let me take it for another rip again soon.

I try to avoid the trees 😅

I was never able to get anyone’s name that helped me and the track didn’t share it. I’m very grateful for everyone’s help that day. Could have been a lot worse! Even the track owner gave me a ride to my truck on his quad. No idea who actually brought my bike back.

My wrist is still healing, but happy to be riding again.

Thanks! Got lucky on that one. I’ll be at battlesburg tomorrow if you want to ride.

If you want more low end power, go with the 300, if you want a faster, high revving bike, go with the 250.

@@ShiftGearsMoto awesome, thank you! I’m used to a somewhat softer mapped TPI 300xc. I say somewhat mapped, it’s just mapped to make it rideable in the trails, when it was hot mapped, it would let you loop it in 1st through 5th gear lol. so Im hoping the 250 would give me the suspension I want, with a manageable yet exciting top end.

If you go with the 250, look into a more aggressive map and replacing the head with a RK TEK or similar product. Makes a big difference!

Just get the 300 xcw and ride it with the clutch. Want tractor roll on the throttle, want install high rev'ing power feather the clutch twist the throttle and dump it. I find the 250 to feel weak against a 300.

It’s a strange thing and takes a bit to figure out where you are and what happened. I’m all good now! Ride safe.

I’m not sure if it would change the engine characteristics but the gps features should all work.

I highly doubt it will work as Vortex doesn’t have the same Signals and Protocol than the Original KTM ECU it’s also not supported at all as such i suspect it to not work. But if you find out that it in fact does let me know.

Yes, you can but if I’m changing plates should just do the oil too. Depends on your maintenance schedule to be honest.

Why do you think that?

Under operating conditions? Hours meter is blank for me. Do you have to manually sync it?

@@ShiftGearsMoto You might have to be once connected i think it’s not displaying per default for some stupid reasons.

After I took my bike to the dealer to get the ECU updated to load maps, it no longer calculates air time or longest jump. Any idea why?

@@ShiftGearsMoto You mean in the app? On guess you are currently at 2.5.12? It will comeback with the new OTA for the unit as there where some accuracy issues on the CUO which where fixed in software. So yeah currently disabled. Till the update which will come in the next days.

@@platin2148 yes I don’t see the data in the app. Longest jump is 0.0 ft. Are you asking what version app or ECU? How do I get the update when it’s released?

I turned off auto. It would annoyingly pick up random segments and log them separately, like the ride from the pit to the track.

@@ShiftGearsMoto That i don’t fully get because it starts the logging and does end only if you stalled the engine or turned it off. Yes that would include the time to the pit but should not be captured by the smart phone as a track layout. I suspected already that the starting condition is definitely a thing that is more individual. And obviously it can’t know where the track is as that data isn’t on the unit (for now). If i would say to you we could turn it off and don’t start again if it’s not one the track you previously selected do you think that would make more sense for automatically start/stop?

I think if it recorded everything but only logged segments it picked up as laps would be better. I realize it only brings the track layouts in but you have to sort all those random segment logs. Either for me to just manually start it when I’m about to go and turn it off when I finish my moto.

@@ShiftGearsMoto Ok thx for the feedback. Will take sometime till we can make it happen. Might with this unit a bit of a thing that you‘d need to upload the track layouts prior. But there is plenty of storage for hundred of different ones.

@@ShiftGearsMoto I still don‘t get how it randomly stops may you be able to file a issue with this?

Great choice. Enjoy it 🤙

Thanks for watching and the comment. I actually didn't realize the hours meter was still on when the CUO is on (it takes about 2-3 minutes to shutoff even after the bike shuts off, which is kind of annoying). All those extra minutes add up I suppose. I'll have to check today, but I thought the hours meter screen timed out when the bike off, even if the CUO is still on. Can you confirm it's actually still on?

@@ShiftGearsMoto no worries, I enjoyed the video 👌 I’ll send you what the KTM Technical Team sent me: “With regards to the hour counter. Loading maps falls under diagnostic classification, therefore please follow the guidance under section 6.9 Combination instrument: The combination instrument (1) is attached in front of the handlebar. The combination instrument shows the total number of operating hours of the engine. The operating hour counter begins counting when the engine is started and stops when the engine is switched off. Info Nothing can be cleared or adjusted on the combination instrument. As soon as the diagnostics tool is connected, the service hour counter starts running. Before longer diagnostic sessions, unplug the service hour counter behind the start number plate.” I noticed the hours had jumped up significantly after installing the CUO but before riding with it. It was quite obvious to me though as the bike was still basically new and had only 7 hours total.

Great - thanks for sharing the info. I'll definitely keep an eye on it and if I plan on keeping the CUO on for awhile, I'll unplug the hours meter. Do you know which plug is the hours meter?

On my bike there are 2 of the fully blue plugs, like the one at 3:28 (If I were to hazard a guess I’d say that blue plug is your hour meter as well). If you follow the wire down from the hour meter it will lead you to the correct plug. Then test it - quick flick of start button and if you hear the fuel pump prime but the hour meter doesn’t come on you’ve got the right one 😎

Uhh that is a nice thing. Well the CUO isn't acting as diag device but, you know what this can be something I'll add to the feature list. So that we remove the amount of time the CUO was on for that what we report in the TDT inside the app. There is also the issue that the hour meter of the app and the tacho will not match up as there is a different way to how they measure.

who?

@@ShiftGearsMoto your buddy was laying there are the end of the clip after eating it pretty good yet no comments or anything about it

@@naveda08 ha yes all good. This was a few years ago. He’s had much worse injuries since then

You don't really feel anything until you wake up, then pain.

I did learn that. Just need to tap the power button and it will stay on for a few minutes.

@@ShiftGearsMoto Actually it's almost exactly 120 seconds. Would you like to extend that time? Same for the automatic turn off when you stop the engine? Just asking out of interest..

No, thats fine because all those minutes add up on the hours meter.

@@ShiftGearsMoto Well that value is something to tale with a grain of salt. But you know what i‘ll see what we can do for future.

I've never run it without an oil filter. Just buy a few Tusk cheap ones.

I ran four oil changes and three filters and I'm not seeing any more milk. Yeah.

@treeslayer2275 then you’re good to go.

To load the engine maps yes you do. Pretty annoying step.

Well that step would have not been needed if production would simply have used the maps they said they did but they didn’t so now it sucks.

It is fun. Crashing isn’t 🤣

OIR is by far the best, but not open very often. Beans MX, TV Land, Battlesburg, and Driven MX are a few of my favorites

@@ShiftGearsMoto Ok, thanks. I think I’ve heard the names of a few of those mentioned before.

@projectash1941 send me a message on instagram if you want to ride. I have videos of those tracks on my channel as well.

@@ShiftGearsMoto Yeah sure thing, I live in Washington right now but I’ll be riding in Ohio this summer
