Map switch help

[Azlam denis]

Hello does anyone have a map switch on their gasser 2008 300? I would like to install one but i dont know how or if it does have one i dont have any button for it i got a Kokusan CDI

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 used, when they are disconnected,, the other map is used.

If you need further explanation, I can try to look at my 06 later today or during the weekend.

Please, could you give me some pictures with the 2 wires coming from cdi ? And where they are wiring together? Thanks.

Im waiting no problem but i need to se really where are the map wires and collors on cdi and switch please

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.

Thank you soo much, soo the black and orange connects to the map switch ? Did you connect them ? Did u wire them togheter ? Or did you bought the bike like that because i have exactly the same cdi as yours

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 to tell the difference. The map switch can be any switch that connects the wires. It does not have to be the one on the handlebar (or as I have it, on a radiator hose).

Soo i have a black wire and a orange wire but theyre conected one in atoher theyre wired togheter i dont know if i sould unwire them cut thema nd connect them trought a switch

 

[Azlam denis]

There it is the wire

 

[Anders]

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

What if i unwire them and my engine doesnt start anymore what if they arent the maps switch wires

In that case you just connect them back together.

I will take a closer look to see if they are wired and going somewhere and if they are im sending a pic to see where they lead to, thanks !

 

[Azlam denis]

Soo the black wire comes from cdi and goes in that thing i dont know what that thing is what that socket is its wired the black wire from cdi tot that thing orange wire

 

[Azlam denis]

And goes there to these somehow these arent attached to anything i dont know what they are

 

[Anders]

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