Hello.
The 2016 ktm sxf models come with the map switch on the handlebar but after buying another one and it breaking straight away due to the connection being at a very tight angle these come away straight away and prevent you from choosing between the 2 modes and launch control.
Does anyone know if the 2017 version on the left side will work on the 2016 models just obviously the traction control won’t woek ?
Thanks
Craig

Very stupid design with the harsh angle but I guess I’ll have to replace it once again and maybe cable tie it somehow so it doesn’t snap. I think mine broke straight away, the litre black connector just cracked and tore out.
Really annoying
I had the same issue and replaced it twice. Bought a trailtech headlight switch and hard wired it in. Functions the same with a two position switch. Lot of guys I know with this style map switch did this. Cut cut and splice in.

It's actually pretty sweet if you've never used it. Turn launch mode on, hold it wide open, the ecu holds the rpm just low enough to not loop out in the first 3 feet, then full power. If you think it's just for little girly men, take a look at some of the factory supported bikes with the orange square on the front fender. It's a GET ignition launch control so they rev the bike to the ideal rpm on the line. Pretty neat that a bike comes stock with a similar feature, in my opinion.

I would like to repair mine instead of buying a new one
Thanks
So nothing connected to the first tab, white to the middle tab and the black wire to the last tab?
Thanks!
