    Trying to figure out which position is which on the OEM dealer installed switch. Looking down on the handlebar switch from above, the thumb post can be in the 6 o'clock position and then can be rotated clockwise to the 7 o'clock position. Which position is what?

    Just go ride it and see what does what.
    Only way you are going to know for sure.

    I tried that but with the Lectron, I can't tell.

    Then no since worrying about it then?
    Just go ride and keep trying it. as if you get somewhere it is very slick and snotty then try and see if it makes it easier.

    There should be I and II positions on the switch. I is performance and II is soft.

    Thank you! Finally decided to call the dealer and they were struggling a bit to tell me the answer, but they figured it out last night. Turns out there really is a detectable power difference in the two positions....or maybe it's the placebo effect. Thanks again.

    The ignition advance curve switch is an intelligence test.

    One position works very well, the other doesn't.

    Now I understand why I failed it so many times. I will say this, on the 570, when switched from mild to wild, the bike transforms. No so in the case of the 300, at least not to the same extent.

    The change is subtle, but take it out on the worst snotty day you can find and you'll feel the difference...

    The change is extremely noticeable on my TC250 - position one sucks and the bike feels like it's out of gas until it's into the overrev zone, position two rocks and pulls hard from bottom to top.

    Position 1 is the more aggressive. I can tell a difference but it is not a night and day difference. Position 2 smothes the throttle response and is helpful when the going gets tougher. You should be able to feel.the diff in more technical riding. Map switch came standard with my 2016 though was not installed when I picked it up for whatever reason. Very simple to put on. Nice to have a bit of tuneability on the fly.

    My dealer said on the 4 strokes the difference is much greater as compare to the 2 stokes

    The switch really isn't needed. If you want to bypass the switch, just plug the connectors together under the tank. It would be an easy way to know what does what in regards to "feel"

    Lots of threads about this on the KTM forums too.

    UPDATE

    I've received a few funny, non-helpful comments (really enjoyed them though), and a few PM's so I thought I'd just update. Now that I have the Lectron carb dialed in, there is a very detectable difference in terms of motor behavior. Position II as it is marked, is definitely the power position and combined with the clean snap of the Lectron and the power delivery of the Gnarly, the bike is a true tight trail weapon. FWIW - went to a 48 rear sprocket as the power is able to carry it and it gives the bike more legs.

    Shows I really don't know what I am talking about, I was sure that I could feel slightly softer power deliver in the II position!
    Placebo effect in full force, but I guess it also goes to show that there is not much difference to be felt, at lease the way mine is set up (no lectron, basically stock).
