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...

The short answer is yes, probably. Although I do not know, I have never tried to use anything else than pipes made for the 200. But the pipe is a big part of the equation when it comes to engine torque as a function of rpm.

I just replaced my own clutch. I had worn out my Rekluse EXP 3.0 and put in a (lightly used) Radius CX. As the basket was also worn out with a lot of notches and slack in th shock absorbers, I considered ordering a Rekluse basket as well, but ended up buying an OEM basket for 163€ + shipping...

I have one on my 06, I presume its the same for 08. If you have two "free" connections on your CDI, they may be for the map switch. If I remember correctly, there is one male and one female bullet connector on very short leads coming from the CDI. When they are connected together, one map is...

I did a racetech gold valve kit in my KYBs on the 06 model. Worked quite OK, but not optimal. Later, with the 48mm Marzocchis on my 2015 model, I did all the revalving myself (with the help of people on this foum). I got a result that was quite OK there as well. But now, I have started using...
