Yep. He made mine for my bike and does for just about anyone that races. He can make full custom graphics for any bike for $150. Very worth while.

Did you get your bike ecu flashed already? I'm curious how much you notice the mild to wild switch too.

No I didn't get it flashed. I called the edge and he said if I had the switch then I didn't need to get it unlocked or have it flashed. He says the will flash bikes that don't have a switch so it is permanently (until reflashed again) flashed to the new time. I will try it out this weekend and if I notice no difference then I will take it in. Maybe you can see if you get the same answer out of the guy and let me know. Did you get the button?
Interesting. I don't think that's correct...atleast not on the 450s and 500s, maybe that's the case on the 250s? On the 450s and 500s, if you have the US map loaded then it's locked and won't allow you to change any of the ignition mapping (what the m2w switch does). Once you get the EU map loaded, it unlocks it and allows you to change the ignition map. Loading the EU map also allows you to use the KTM UST so you can pull info and customize any part of the ignition and fuel maps using a laptop. Now I'm really curious if you notice a difference. I haven't yet purchased the m2w switch.

That is what I understood before as well. It'd be nice if I did notice a difference but I'm thinking I'll have to get it unlocked.
Weird thing is i specifically asked if I needed to get it unlocked to use the m2w switch. He was like, if you have the switch you won't even need us. It does everything for you. Time will tell I guess.

I had to make time cause I'm headed to St. George tomorrow and wanted to be able to ride to some trails. I got it inspected today and passed. I will get my plate on the way down tomorrow.

Haha. Very true. I had already thought of that and it'll be nice. I'll still have to make a pitstop to that open field though for the jumps.

Ya! Hill climb madness!
I got the headlight pulled off the wife's bike to put on mine... then I had Scouts and more homework... well back to work

Replaced a few more parts tonight. Most notably my headlight. I just bought a new OEM headlight, but after seeing that with my discount on the Trail Tech X2 it made it only a coupe bucks more than the OEM light, I decided to go with the X2. So, before 100% committing, I did a little comparison. (This is the Halogen version of the X2)
Brand New Stock Light:
Trail Tech X2 on Low Beam:
Trail Tech X2 on High Beam:
One of the big differences is the main light is a bit higher so you don't get that awful shadow from the fender that you do with the OEM light. I think brightness-wise, they are both pretty comparable, but the X2 is positioned better. I'm definitely happy with the choice to go with the X2.

Called RMATV in St. George today to see what needed to be done with my switch. After I gave him my year and model he said I needed to do nothing. Just like the Edge told me. He said on my year and on the 250's it is just plug and play. No unlocking or loading new maps, they are already installed on my ecu.
So with that answer I took it out to some close trails. WOW!!
What a diference! It is still just a 250 but the power difference is very noticeable. I was ripping through the gears and was pulling unattempted wheelies. It was quite fun. Now to get used to the bike again.

I rewound the hour meter wire around my COIL instead of the wire going to the coil on my 450. Now it works. WOOT WOOT!

Put a new Maxxas front tire on my WR. The Dunlop was loosing outside knobbies like crazy. Reshimmed the valves on my friends CRF450R this morning. It now starts first kick again. Hondas are so much easier with a single cam which they should be since you have to do it more often.

Cleaned 4 air filters, changed oil in all 4 bikes and rebuilt the rear master cylinder on my son's 250f.
This was the second oil change on my 450 since the rebuild. When I cleaned the Scott's oil filter it was almost completely plugged with metal shavings. I'm hoping this is the remaining debris from the cylinder wall coming out of the oil journals.
I guess cainville next weekend will be the real test.

The race is in Knolls in a couple weeks. You run out of area to ride at the Knolls. Cherry Creek would be fun

This is a cool thread...
This spring On my 09 YZ450:
-All new plastics (went from the stock white to the Acerbis Yamaha blue).
-GPR stabilizer (love it)
-Fasstco Flex Bars (love them)
-new tires front and rear (Dunlop MX51's. People think I'm crazy, but I love these tires in the desert.)
-Warp9 front rim (I came home with a MASSIVE bulge from the rhino rally...I have no idea how the tube didn't pinch flat).
-new top end: piston, rings, valves, valve springs, cam chain, gaskets.
-for the first time my rekluse exp 2.0 feels like it needs to be adjusted (I haven't touched it since the post break in adjustment). The free play gain in the lever isn't what it should be, and I stalled my bike for the first time since putting it in a year ago. So I will be messing with that here shortly.
