Installing A K1-K3 GSXR Map Select Switch

This document provides instructions for making a map select switch for a GSX-R motorcycle that allows switching between two fuel and timing maps in the ECU. It requires basic soldering or crimping skills and inexpensive parts like an on/off switch, wires, and connectors. The switch is connected to pin 21 on the ECU connector without cutting wires. When the switch is on, map 0 is selected and when off, map 1 is selected, allowing adjustment of fuel and timing settings. Proper precautions are described to avoid damaging the sensitive ECU electronics.

Making a 16bit GSX-R Map Select switch by mr_hollywood@cogeco.

ca (Jul 2015)

Here’s how to make a Map Select switch that will allow you to switch between ECU MS0 and MS1 fuel and timing maps
on your K1-K3 GSX-R 600/750 or K1-K2 GSX-R 1000. This design does not require cutting into the harness in any way
and can be easily removed. I’ve provided links to parts suppliers in North America, but you can also google for suppliers
closer to home…

Tools required:

 A small soldering iron & solder or crimp tool


 A multimeter (or continuity tester)
 Needlenose pliers

Parts required:

 One Superseal 1.0 Series socket contact ($0.35 ea)

 One D-Sub Contact pin ($0.33 ea)

 An SPST (on/off) switch and mounting hardware

 18-20AWG stranded automotive wire .

 Heat shrink tubing

 Flexible cable conduit (to protect switch wires)


Switch selection:
 The ECU Map Select pin is a 5v TTL input signal (with a pull-up resistor internal to the ECU) that requires very
little current. As such, any Single Pole Single Throw (2 pin) on/off switch will work.
 A far greater concern is how to best mount the switch for solidity, accessibility, short-circuit protection and
exposure to the elements. Make your decision accordingly.

Note: A 12v short to the Map Select (pin 21) will fry the ECU.

Switch placement:
 Because you can toggle between the maps during normal operation, how and why you plan to use the switch will
help dictate its placement. Make your decision accordingly.

 Whatever you choice, complete connecting and mounting of the switch, along with routing the wires to the ECU.
Cut the wires to the appropriate length, leaving one about 2 inches longer than the other.

Preparing the ECU connections:


 Crimp or solder a Superseal socket contact onto the shorter switch wire.
 Crimp or solder a D-Sub Contact pin onto the longer switch wire.

Testing the Map Select switch:


 Using a multimeter (or continuity tester), test for proper conductivity of the switch in the ON (closed) and OFF
(open) positions.

Connecting the Map Select switch:


 Disconnect the battery.

 Disconnect the large ECU connector.


 Push in the white tab at the bottom of the connector to release the pin lock.
 Pull the Black/Brown wire from pin 21 and install the socket contact (short wire) from the Map switch instead (may
be a tight fit so make sure you see the socket “bottom” from the other side).

 Push in the two white tabs at the top of the connector to lock the pins back in place and re-install the connector

 Connect the Black/Brown wire (removed earlier) to the D-Sub pin (long wire) from the Map switch. Install heat
shrink tubing over the connection to protect and hold it in place.

 Re-connect the battery…

Operation:
 You can switch between the two sets of maps at any time.
 The MS0 and MS1 maps on all stock ECUs seen so far are identical, but these can be changed by reflashing the
ECU.

CAUTION:
Switching between MS0/MS1 maps can cause sudden surges or loss of power (especially at higher RPMs)
that could cause loss of control. It is highly recommented that you carefully test for this following any
ECU reflash.

 When the switch is in the ON (closed) position the ECU MS0 fuel and timing maps will be selected.
 When the switch is in the OFF (open) position the ECU MS1 fuel and timing maps will be selected.

Warnings:

 ESD precautions should be taken at all times to ensure the ECU is not damaged by static electricity discharge.

 Incorrect connections (misaligned pins, reverse connection) may result in permanent damage to the ECU so double-
check your connections before applying power.

 It is highly recommend that you have a (working) spare ECU on hand in the event your ECU is damaged accidentally.
As with any delicate electronics undertaking, there are risks involved.

 Reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the information presented here is correct and accurate.
Nevertheless, you are solely responsible for any damages you incur, no matter the cause. Proceed at your own risk.
