    What springs did you end up with? nearly the same weight as me, I have .48's in the fork and just about to get a 6.0 for the rear as I couldn't get the right sag numbers on 5.7.

    What sag are you running 105 or 100mm?

    FYI. I have been doing some research regarding the mapping on the stock FE 2014 Husqvarnas. Main reason I'm interested is because my bike runs really hot on warm days while riding single track. The fan runs constantly and I had some heavy decel popping but since I reset the TPS voltage it cured that issue. My local KTM/Husky dealers had no idea what actual ECU mapping was loaded on the new FE models so I began calling around. Munn racing finally answered my question explaining that they come with the USA XC W mapping, which is a green sticker approved format. It's not as bad as the EXC but not much better either. They recommend going with the Euro XC W mapping but first the ECU has to be wiped clean, which unlocks it, then flashed with a new map. After that, one could install a handlebar switch to cycle through 3 different maps per their liking or riding conditions. The new map is supposed to cure the hot lean running condition. I know some of you already reflashed your 350's with good results but nobody actually knew what map was on there prior to a reflash. Thought I would pass this information on since it seems nobody really knew exactly what mapping was included from the factory.

    All the KTM and Bergs I ride with are hot runner regardless of maps so I would concentrate some effort on that issue. ZipTy coolant might be good too.

    10-4 on the coolant. I did that before I even hit 1 hour of run time. I had to remove the radiators to install the 7602 braces so it was a good time to drop in the XF +

    I called another local KTM dealer that used to sell Husky but decided to not carry the new Huskys and just sell KTM. They are checking to see what maps they have access to for the 500 KTM based engines and they sound like they will flash my ECU. My question is, what is the actual KTM map I need to have installed and what is it's number? I hear lots of comments about Euro map this and Aussie map that but can someone tell me exactly what my local dealer needs to have in his computer so I can fix my lean running bike? Is this the map that will allow me to install the 3 position switch on the bars too? I hate to drive all the way down to Halls or ship my ECU to Munn's if I can support a local dealer. TIA
