Map Tweaks
That Work
Both examples below live on Map 2 (the IG MAP2 and FI MAP2 tables). That is on purpose. It leaves Map 1 completely untouched as your baseline, so the map switch is always a one-flick trip back to stock if you don't like what you did.
Before you touch anything
- Screenshot your stock values first. Every cell you plan to change, capture it before you change it.
- Work on Map 2 so Map 1 stays your safety net. If you already run something on Map 2, save a copy first.
- Double tap a cell to edit it. Punch in the value, move on.
- Save the map with a name you'll recognize, then send it to the ECU with the up arrow.
- Small changes, then ride and feel it. If it's worse, flip back to Map 1 and try again.
Taming It Down
Bike hits too hard off the bottom and wears you out in tight or slippery terrain? You don't need less power, you need a softer delivery down low. That's two small changes working together: pull a little timing and add a little fuel, both in the same low-throttle, low-mid-RPM corner. Tap each screenshot to see what's going on.

Pulling Timing
The green cells are the change. Timing is pulled 2 to 4 degrees at low throttle (5 to 20%) in the low-mid RPM range, roughly 2k to 5k.
That zone is exactly where a big single feels snappy and abrupt off the bottom. Backing the timing off there softens the hit and makes the power easier to meter in slick or technical stuff.
Full throttle and the top end stay at zero, so you keep all your pull where it counts.

Adding Fuel
Same map, this is the fuel side. The green cells add 2 to 4% fuel in that same low-throttle, low-mid-RPM zone.
Going a touch richer alongside the timing pull smooths delivery even more and keeps it from feeling lean or sharp down low.
The ignition and fuel changes work as a pair. That combo is what makes the bottom end feel calm without killing the power up top.
How to dial it in
- In the IG MAP2 table, pull timing in the low-throttle, low-mid-RPM cells. The example pulls 4 degrees through the core (5 to 10% throttle, 2k to 4k) and eases to 2 at the edges.
- In the FI MAP2 table, add fuel in that same block, 3 to 4% through the middle, tapering to 2 at the edges.
- Match what you see in the screenshots, cell for cell. Save it and send it to the ECU.
Bad Gas Insurance
Stuck filling up with whatever the gas station out past nowhere has on tap? Low octane and stale fuel detonate under load, and detonation is what actually hurts these motors. The fix is the opposite of a targeted tweak: pull a little timing everywhere so nothing pings, no matter how bad the fuel is. Tap the screenshot for the breakdown.

Timing Pulled Everywhere
Different goal here. Instead of one targeted block, this backs ignition off 2 to 3 degrees across almost the whole table, every throttle position from 2k to 12.5k.
That is detonation insurance. Low octane or junk fuel wants to ping and knock under load, and pulling timing globally keeps it from detonating and hurting the motor.
You give up a little crispness, you protect the engine.
How to dial it in
- In the IG MAP2 table, pull 2 to 3 degrees across the board, every throttle row from 2k through 12.5k. Leave the 15k column and the no-throttle edges alone.
- Save it as its own map and call it something obvious like "Bad Gas." Load it when you're stuck with garbage fuel, flip back to your normal map once you're back on good stuff.
