Why has it been rewired? Remapping it is as simple as plugging it into a laptop. I can't see why it would lose the map after the battery dies, that is pretty inconvenient even by KTMs standards. There are 3 maps that should always be there, standard, rain mode and race mode. Don't think you can add anymore and they get replaced when you flash the new map on. I think rain and race are just throttle sensitivity options to be honest.

I ran mine on the wrong map (Akrapovic slip on while on the standard pipe) for a bit and it caused no issues.

Curious as to how much you paid for a ringer of a 690, I've seen them still sell for £3k+ with blown engines and 20,000 mile on the frame.

I would highly suggest the KTM forum which is UK based also.

It was originally used for a race bike i think, and they rewired all the sensors, taking it back to the dealer today with new battery read and to be re mapped, so fingers crossed Thumbs Up
