It’s a reflash of your stock ecu. There isn’t an ecu you can buy with the map, instead you need to send your ecu to Kove USA and request a reflash to the 230.1. They are located in Mona, Utah.

Hi, the only thing I have different on mine is the rear fuel cap. I do not like that Uncle Wang's version because, as you leave it open, water can get through - e.g. as you wash the bike. I actually changed it to an Acerbis cap.

I’ve seen their ecu/exhaust combo. I think with them being in Europe, it’s probably tuned for the euro5 but i could be wrong. Uncle Wang is sending me an exhaust to test. I’ll be running it with the Kove USA race exhaust tune. I’m hoping the combo will help the bike run cooler as I think my setup is constricting.

IMO the heating problem is because the advance timing key, and maybe a different exhaust will help too. To avoid heat from the exhaust to the right tank I installed a heat shield sticker in the tank.
@DirtBykАй бұрын
I’ve installed the reflective tape as well. My tanks still push fuel. I’m going to remove the timing advance and get a new exhaust to see if that helps the heat. Also, I think i need to remove the one way from the rear tank to the front tanks so it stops pressurizing the tanks.

Hi, I agree with your assessment about heating up - the bike needs a free flowing exhaust, no restrictions and no adaptors at the inlet, with a Pro ECU. An XRacing would do. Probably your first section is heating up a lot and it helps to keep the fan on all the time - we normally wrap it up with fireproof pipe wrap on the Kove. For weight saving, you can remove ABS completely and set your bike like an enduro bike with direct cabling, remove the switch key block, simplify your handlebar as much as possible; of course, you would remove the OEM dashboad and have only one lcd screen. A suspension revision front/rear is a must and probably you should have done it earlier. Good luck!
@DirtBykАй бұрын
Those are all done or on the list to be done soon! We’ve sourced a Showa rear shock and forks were freshened up but internals all looked like new. We’ve increased the fork oil quantity a little as well. With my personal bike I’m 💯 going to a different exhaust and tune in an attempt to cool it off, plus remove the timing key mod.

Be bike performed well and our video shows the bike had minimal wear from the race. I ride very remote Arizona on my personal bike and have never been left stranded. The pro is setup does Rally racing. The pro standard has the race exhaust and ecu tune but the street legal equipment. They are so closely spec’d you’ll never know the difference.

"Thank you for commenting. That’s our whole purpose for racing Baja; prove the bike’s reliability. The Baja 500 was a brand new bike with no modification. Be bike performed well and our video shows the bike had minimal wear from the race." This sentences are loud and clear.

It was really easy to take a muffler and have a shop weld a mid pipe in. I was also initially annoyed by the stock pipe and my heel resting on it. It honestly took 30 minutes telling myself to put my foot one inch further out on the footpeg and it wasn’t an issue again. However when i had the midpipe welded I took that into consideration and moved the bend back just a tad.
