More to come!

He stayed up there the entire time, happy to be on camera I guess 😎

Good info, thanks 👌🏽

I brought I uk model has maps tc and qs

Thanks!

We have an owners manual break down video in the works that will answer that one

So your bike does not have Maps, TC, or quick shifter??

@@motourstinc.6408 nope, pretty pissed about it tbh. I got the 6 days and it has the map switch just like the bike in the video but it's just fully illuminated and none of the buttons do anything. I don't even really care about the maps because I mean stock maps anyway and KTM said when I called them it's because of it being a plated bike and because of DOT stuff they can't have something on the bike that changes the running conditions of the bike but I don't know why that means TC and QS don't work. Especially considering 1 of the major 6 days upsell reasons (for me at least) was the map switch with TC and QS. Everywhere I looked prior to buying the bike it was advertised. I didn't realize none of it worked until I was on my ride home from the dealer. It sure seems a little "false or misleading" advertising.

@@matthewhaworth5935man sorry to hear that. I know that TacoMoto will sort it out, but it’s a crappy feeling for sure. All the California bikes are getting recalled from the dealers right now, so we are in a holding pattern. Did you say the map switch is illuminated?? So cool. Would be ideal to use that with GET!

@@motourstinc.6408 oh wow that's a bummer. Do you know what the reason is for the recall? Yeah it's a nice switch, would be awesome to reuse it with the GET but I also like the dial knob for TC with the GET so you actually have granular control rather than just on off so we'll see. It has a green and white light to correspond to the 2 map settings, and then an illuminated TC and QS icon with 2 small buttons on the underside. They are supposed to illuminate to let you know what is selected/on but on my bike they are all lit up and pressing buttons does nothing, they just stay lit up.

I was prepared to buy this bike tomorrow after viewing it at a dealer last week. This has me ready to wait

US DOT homologation has not approved it

I gotta ask what do people mean by no map I’m looking into getting one of these and I just gotta know what everyone means by that

If they’re released as a competition bike yes

The EPA neuters our bikes. They are also the only machine to get sound tested also.

Our bike in Oz come with most of the emissions stuff like vapour recovery and O2 sensor. The dealer rips it all out prior to delivery as we don't have to run it here. The unrestricted map is applied too.

Well if you’re not in the weight range of factory springs then she’ll put another 300 for springs no matter what bike you get or what it costs

@@ianjohnson5365 I check that box, just a little short for the bike.

Husqvarna use plastic rear frame(composite). Not sure it's a good thing.

@@Roger_Gustafsson They changed it in 2024. It's aluminum and composite now.

yes that sucker is tall! im 6'2" and cannot flat foot the exc. The Husky by comparison is the same height as my 21 450SXF and i can flat foot that no issues. The other enduro I sat on was the 300xcw and it was tall. Last years model (2023 300xcw) was not as tall. Maybe its a matter of break in and setting sag on the PDS?

None of that plumbing is on our bikes here. It must be an American emissions thing. Surely it would get shredded on the first drop.

We’re currently testing the Taco SX1 GET on this bike and map switch and quick shift functions will be a part of the package 🏁🤘🏽🏁

@@TACOMOTOCO Awesome, can't wait 👍🏻

Thank goodness!!!@@TACOMOTOCO

You remove the flange with the lock and install the usual Ohlins w/damper mount. It takes bout 50minutes to swap it out.

The 23 tail tidy works? Did you need to modify or anything? I can't wait to get that ugly ass tail off mine.

I'd love to know what your dealer did to make your map switch and other functions work. Mine does nothing I called my dealer they asked me to bring it back in and I'm just trying to find the time to get it back to them. I'm gonna be pretty pissed off if I drive 2 hours and they just say nope sorry KTM is advertising this bike with those functions but nope sorry.

@@matthewhaworth5935 yup works perfectly! Literally got the bike home and that night was yanking that crap off. I bought the enduro plate too but haven’t installed it yet still have the paper tag and just zip tied it through the little hole on the backend. Only thing I didn’t buy cause I thought it came in the kit was the enduro flasher. Other then that kits awesome, they have a couple KZfaq videos to show how to install it but with the 2024 it is slightly different so just take your time

@@xBobby Awesome thanks for the info. Are you talking about the led blinker module of the tail light flasher module?

@@matthewhaworth5935 the tail light flasher, supposed to make your tail light flash a certain pattern then hold solid

Mine was missing

I was like what the hell that’s not right.

Mine was missing also.

I had to dump my oil drain pan and literally go fishing through it because I thought it must have fallen when I removed the bolt. Nope. Definitely was missing. Same bike as in this video. 500 six days.

Dude that is such a strange issue ktm has these small oversights all the time like plastic plastic oil pump gears smh. It truly is a love hate relationship I have with my 500 😂 they require a lot of time and money and need maintenance regularly 😔 but I love the way they ride and feel and the way they look 🔥 I just wish my wallet wasn’t so mad at me! 🤣

The switch is being powered but the ecu isn’t processing the signal in the software, this only applies to North America

Yep...same thing on my brand new 2024...took it in for a warranty repair expecting it to get fixed, but dealership removed it all together.

Likely yes

@@TACOMOTOCOinteresting. So if I get the taco get ECU for my 24 eu bike will there be any compatibility issues? Bearing in mind my 20 EU 500 has your ECU in it and runs perfect. Just curious about the MS,QS and TC features mostly

I suspect the 64hp relates to the euro version that's not bogged down with emissions and noise stuff. It likely has a tune that allows for this. I hope so anyway, as mine arrives later this month. But 64 might be a little aspirational regardless…

In the US this bike makes aprox 37 HP at the wheel. After our modifications we have it up to 56 or so, at the wheel

@@TACOMOTOCOhow does that compare to the 2023? I’ll be ordering a GET ecu and traction control from you for my 2023 500 exc next Friday

@@Oregon86Silverado_12v nearly identical power between the 20-23 bikes and this 24

@@zawas_500 mth do you mean months or hours

@@Not_thekill of course motohours

We were just as eager for it as you were

And here in Australia the bikes are somewhat delayed due to a shortage of map switches that are on NA bikes...

Any insight into that decision?

Wind will beat u up and will chew through tyres.

This is cleared up now. I’m also in CA and picked one up yesterday.

Why does it need CARB approval if it's plated?

This is very helpful and important info. Thanks so much 🤘🏽

Thanks for the info. Wild to not put the screen there it would obviously help catch metal shavings and debris and to not give us access to the quick shifter functionality is crazy that’s a huge let down

So stupid KTM fucked the USA on the map switch again. Even in the USA user manual it tells you how to use the map switch. KTM may want to edit their website and all the press releases on the USA release.

As indicated in the video

@@TACOMOTOCO kind of a bummer, but probably better off without it 👍🏼

It’s got 0 hours on it, factory fresh - better be in spec, right

Great in our experience so far

No it does not. You buy an Athena SX1 Pro Grey box ecu and use that handlebar switch and all the options and more are there.

thanks a pile!

Thank the US DOT for the ugly motorcycle tails; required by law.

This is a 50 states street legal machine
