Yes they are. Although metric (if that is uncommon in your part of the world).

The transmission bearings are all standard ones. I guess most of the old ones will have markings on the side. Take them to a bearing shop and buy some SKF, FAG or other reputable brand bearings.

Yep. I took a look during the weekend. In my case, the black and orange wires are connected directly to the map switch. There is a dual wire in its own sheating going all the way from the switch to the CDI. No othger connectors are used. So I'm sorry, but I cannot suggest why you have a...

Just google the part number and you will find it a lot of places.

I will have to look at my own bike again to see if I see what you mean. It may take a few days.

Good find! I agree that it looks like a casting error. How thick are the cases at that point? I have no experience with such matters, but guess that a good welder should have no problem fixing that. As long as the cases don't twist during welding, that is. Or perhaps you cold drill a small hole...

Could it be a leak somewhere else? are the gasket faces all good? Could it leak between the case halves?

They have pipes for 250/300, but no mention of the 200.

In that case you just connect them back together.

If there was a (FMF or other) pipe for the 15 model EC200 available I would be interested.

To find out if you need a switch, just disconnect them and take a ride. If you feel any difference in the way the engine behaves from before (when they were connected) and would like to be able to select the map (engine behaviour) while riding, then you need a switch :)

I bought the bike without mapswitch and installed the switch at a later stage. I'm not sure, but I think connecting the black and orange gives you the "sun" map while an open circuit give the "rain" map. It's easy enough to test, just connect, ride, disconnect, ride. I presume you will be able...

An other option to Megasquirt could be the Ignijet from Ignitech. I have no personal experience with either, but have used Ignitech ignition on my Bimota. I found the Ignitech people easy to work with. There are also some DIY ECU projects around if that is your cup of tea.

This is from my 06 EC200. The map switch makes or brakes the contact between the orange and black wires with the bullet connectors to the right in the picture.

Sorry, forgot about it during the weekend. Just hold the line, please...
