- KTM Launch Control, Traction Control and Map Switch Explained
Understanding KTM’s map switch-which activates the bike’s power maps, traction control and launch control-is a valuable tool for any race day. The handlebar-mounted switch can drastically change the way the bike performs-allowing you significant advantages when used properly.
KTM Launch Control, Traction Control and Map Switch Explained
The KTM Map Switch allows riders to choose between Map 1-the standard map-and Map 2-the aggressive map. The map switch also turns on KTM Traction Control and KTM Launch Control.
Using KTM Traction Control
KTM Traction Control can be used in maps 1 and 2 and limits real-wheel slip. It’s especially effective on dry, hard-pack terrain or anywhere traction is rare. The switch can also activate KTM’s Launch Control-a specialized, temporary KTM Traction Control setting for more effective starts with the most traction as possible.
Any changes to the map switch must be done when the bike is at idle.
Using KTM Launch Control
Setting KTM’s launch control is done by holding the Map and TC buttons simultaneously until the FI light behind the front number plate begins to flash. Once it’s flashing, KTM Launch Control is activated.
Remember; KTM Launch Control will deactivate if the throttle is blipped or chopped. Doing so will turn KTM Launch Control off immediately. Resist the urge to blip the throttle on the starting line!
To use KTM Launch Control, activate it and turn the throttle to the desired throttle position you want for your start and then hold it there until the gate drops or the race starts. Traction Control turns off automatically the very first time you release the throttle. So, once you’ve engaged traction control, be smooth with the throttle up to your desired start rpm and don’t blip or chop it!
Always consult your model’s instruction manual for machine specific settings and instructions.

Good to know about the launch control.
Yo, Wat's Krak'n. Excellent video. Quick and to the point. People who do videos do way to much talking about stuff not interested n.
I have a 17 450 exc. when i hold the traction control and map button to do launch control it flashes three times and thats it. I dont have a fi light on the bike. Only a light to say the indicator is on however that doesnt flash. How will i know that traction control is working?
i got my exc 250 2t tpi 2021 and i have a 1 and 2 map switching, then 2 is more agressive?
I flip my bike with traction control on number 2 as i got used to being on 1 and can't get used to 2 so if I was you get used to both, I mainly do green lanes but like technical riding lifting the front turning on hills and pivot turns so in theory need alot of traction just got so used to 1 and less power to the wheel
I got a 2019 ktm 450 sxf , 1 and 2 there is a difference. More responsive, gears feel more aggressive. I like it. Traction control i feel no difference though
Me2
I feel the difference on wet grass hills, the tire spins not as fast so you can Control it a lot better.
@@jonson4508 that’s traction control 👍
What a sit explanation of launch control . What does it even do and how does it work ?
Hello , you ativated lunch control and next ou sfhift 1st our 2 gear to go ?
Is there one for 12 250sxt avail
Everyone commenting on this video is so clueless lol
Don’t be so hard on yourself 🤣
@@hideousturnout4896 oh shit. Got me 😂
does anyone know if the 2022 ktm sxf 350 has launch control and tc? thanks!
Definitely has TC and two available map options, not sure about launch control.
Question. What is the FI light? I have a 2016 250sxf and it’s not connected to anything
Kick Ass I think it stands for fuel. When your tank is low it turns on. Also, dont start your bike by holding down on the start button right away. Push it fast, wait untill the fl light turns of (wich indicates that the fuel pomp is done pre-pumping) then hold down on the start button. You’ll find the bike starts much more effortless.
@@thehuubster This practice of 'blipping" the starter before cranking to start is also apparently good for battery life as well. :)
@@macca462 Yes it is!
@@macca462 I hit the starter button 2 times to prime the fuel pump before starting, works like a charm.
Fi helps for trouble shoots and the fuel one is for low fuel
Gas light ? How does that work ? I've Google the crap out of trying to find this. Ca. I buy one for my bike ? I haven't found anything like it on google or from ktm. Which bike is this is it only on the enduro?
The fuel light is a low fuel indicator
If my 2024 KTM 350 does not have the power map selector, which map does it come with, 1 or 2?
More than likely it will be in map one.
On my husqvarna the launch doesn’t work. Any ideas?
Can I do that on my ktm smc 690 r 2021?
I don't understand how that switch works. I still understand map 1 and 2, this would go through the ecu but I don't understand the tc (traction control) there are no sensors around the rear wheel that can register anything, how can the tc work then?
It goes off engine load
@@danielsosinski4914 Thanks ! Will this switch work on my ktm exc 450 2017 as a plug and play ?
which ktm is this
Must be a 2018 model
What if it stays on when bike is off and fuel pump engages by it self 🤯 ?
Think it’s the starter relay hopefully
@@hideousturnout4896 What on earth are you talking About
@@martinskamla6789 seriously lol
Will this fit on a 2015 ktm 250sxf?
I'm also very interested.
Or 2012 250sxt ??? Any info
So u can turn off traction control
Yes you have the option to turn it on or off depending on rider preference.
Can anyone send me a video on how to install one
Its extremly simple. Buy the Map switch and search the plug with the Rubber hat behind the numberplate/ light mask. Plug the Switch in and have Fun

Und jetz auf deutsch !
I crashed my 2017 SFX 250 and broke the launch control cable and now the bike will not start I reached the wiress but it will not start am I missing something! don't take the piss for not knowing something. Helpful comments would be great
I have this on my 2018 exc-f. I see no differences in 1--2or TC. I can even unplug it and theirs no change. Total waste of money.
Mark Wilson lol same here.. what the hell dose this button do.. there is no difference between 1 and 2..
I have a 2018 husqvarna fe450 and found there is definitely a difference from 1-2. Number 2 a lot more responsive
it doesn't work in us models, unless the dealer "unlocked" your ecu. Now illegal to do per epa regulations. @@anthonywilliamson2080
Mark Wilson hahahaha you're a clown. "Total waste of money" It came on the bike numb nuts, you make it sound like it's an aftermarket part you bought
Will Crain the map switch does not come on the excf models. Just the off-road bikes. You can purchase the map switch and plug it into the ecu. So the OP probably bought it separately. You should know your facts before you start calling names.
