2013 TE310R Map Switch 8539428 Installation

I am considering installing the map switch. Are both maps programmed at the factory? Part number 8539428 is not listed in the factory parts manual so I don't see where the cables connect. Anyone have an installation photo or schematic? I could also try hard wiring the presumably open female connector to ground for a test as I understand the EFI checks the switch only at power-up.

My '12 TE310 has a map switch on it. I never use it. It stays in Race Map 1. I say save your money.

I like the idea of a mellower throttle response. I'd rather have more low end torque than 40 peaky HP that just spin the rear tire assuming that's what the 'rain' map does. It's only 25 bucks for the factory switch but I'll hard wire it to try it. Can you see where the cable connects?

On the '12 it connects behind the headlight/number plate, but it is a different switch.

I'm not sure if the map switch is even compatible with the 13's with Keihin FI....? maybe someone else could verify this?

In my opinion, powering up your bike then adding G2 throttle tamer would be the way to go.

I added the G2 throttle tamer last night but I haven't tried it yet. The 'Special Parts' catalog lists the part for the 2013 model.

I don't see the connector on the 2012 parts catalog either.

On the 2012 it connects behind the headlight/number plate. It's a white mini two-pin connector.

You may need the GET setup for the 2013's to use a switch... http://www.getdata-online.com/GET_power_husqvarna_TE310_13

This switch is for the 2013/2014 models.
Connects behind headlight (plugs directly into loom).
I have to say it does make a difference but the effect is not huge !

The switch above has a ground strap and a single plug. Is that compatible with the loom connecter or am I missing something?

I found a two pin connector behind the fairing. The connectors in the image above definitely do not fit. Is the special parts catalog picture incorrect? Is the switch a simple open/short switch? If so, I can simply short the pins for the alternate map.

It plugs in behind the headlight, but I don't recall it looking like the plug shown above.

Yes, that looks like the double connector with dead end on it.

Yes, the picture is wrong in the catalog.

Thanks all I will order the part and report the results.

8539428 is for 2013 and has the correct plug. Installation required a few minutes. I am pleasantly surprised with the results. I much prefer the milder map; in fact I could have simply shorted the pins for permanent installation. With the gearing at the 12 front/50 rear, milder map, G2 Throttle Tamer and front fork brace raised to the top to increase the rake, she went from a squirrelly, peaky thrill ride to a confidence-inspiring traily with some get-and-go if you are in the mood.

Jim, Just got a switch for my 2013 but its blue and a single button. I am thinking its the one for before 2013 and maybe wont work. Currently it doesn't appear to do anything. When do you have to switch running / dead?? What are you switching between?? Can you tell, does it show on dash?? Sounds like you experienced a decent change. I feel the same way. Would be nice to have a little less abrupt throttle in the tight snotty stuff. Thanks!

You have the wrong switch ! The Blue one is for the 12's and earlier Mikuni FI .
You need a switch which will stay "latched" for the 13 & 14's like the one in the photo above.

I was afraid of that. Actually got it from the dealer as well. That explains it. Thanks for the help.
