2024 KTM - DeSmog, Exhaust, GET ECU Install

We look at installing a few goodies from ‪@TACOMOTOCO‬ to get that new gen KTM 500 EXCf running how it should be. This is very similar to the kit for the 20+ bikes but the new 2024 is slightly different.

Off road only 😉😂

Shhh 😂😂😂

[@philbuck365]

Thanks for the de smog video . I just bought a 2024 KTM 500 excf please tell me who did you get the blue plastics kit from would like to get rid of all that orange.

[@EverySingleSunday]

It’s made by a company called KTM. They are based out of Austria and have a few different plastic kits for these bikes :)

[@ipdjbt]

@@EverySingleSunday lmao!

[@MOET2110]

Please show us how you installed the get ecu please

[@EverySingleSunday]

Taco Moto has a fantastic video on it that’s way more in depth than i would be able to show

[@rcrhinehart]

Any instruction on head pipe removal? I'd like to also remove that canister, I didnt see it in the manual? Have a page # Thanks!

[@EverySingleSunday]

Super basic. 2 springs on the front of the head pipe and the the engine mount on the right side of the bike. Just wiggle it loose from there

[@rcrhinehart]

Thanks! So no removal of shock necessary?

[@EverySingleSunday]

@@rcrhinehartI can’t remember honestly. I might have had the shock and muffler off when I had the bike torn down. But I feel like I pulled the header first this time for some reason.

[@rcrhinehart]

@@EverySingleSunday ok cool! Keep the videos coming 10/10 my 24 500 excf just came in last week. Prepping for an August Colorado trip 💪

[@rcrhinehart]

@@EverySingleSunday Yup can confirm, no shock removal necessary. Remove exhaust bolts and springs, wiggle free, canister drops from downtube. I'd suggest this method over capping the canister since its a :30 minute job.

[@1122ss]

Great vid! Is it even worth it to change from the stock crankcase breather hose? Seems unnecessary.

[@EverySingleSunday]

There’s a chance of engine oil getting back into the intake track with the stock one.

[@chief-lob1541]

Did the Get ECU from tocomoto come with the updated map swith that let's you control all the other features?

[@EverySingleSunday]

no, just the standard 2 position map switch. The new fancy one isn't out yet and will be an add on from what I understand

[@grutzmac]

Do you have the pull that 02 kit off to run the GET ECU? Or can you leave it on?

[@EverySingleSunday]

You can leave it on But with the GET it doesn’t read the 02 anymore so it’s just extra weight and stuff that can be broken off

[@AlexKiely-cu1kc]

Can i run the desmog kit before putting an ecu in? Trying to piece things together

[@EverySingleSunday]

Yes you can.

[@JasonGrellmann]

Is there any performance gain with the O2 sensor delete while running a stock ECU? Will it prevent the bike running lean?

[@EverySingleSunday]

None at all. If you have a piggyback tuner like a Power Comander you need a dongle to send it a false reading. If you go with a full ECU like I did, it no longer reads off the 02 so might as well delete it Have fun

[@j0hn22]

I think it would have been helpful to understand why you're doing this to begin with-- what problems are you trying to solve? Were you experiencing flameouts, but adjusting the idle did not work? Even Taco Moto's white-paper says setting idle properly solves 75% of this issue. Did you want more power that re-gearing sprocket ratios for your application-- hard enduro, technical trails, mixed, desert-- did not solve in terms of low-end torque vs. top-end power? Get ECUs and Taco Moto's tuned version are certainly great for high-end racing, but almost every review I see, the rider didn't try simple and cheap bike maintenance (free idle settings and

[@EverySingleSunday]

Because I want more power and I want the bike to run better. These things are too corked up from the factory and occasional flame outs can cause serious injury

[@dougiep8464]

Have you removed the internal flap on the airbox, that really helps the 500 breath

[@EverySingleSunday]

I did on my 22 but haven't played around on my 24 yet. The 24 also has a panel that pops out to open up the vents under the seat.

[@dougiep8464]

@@EverySingleSunday yep that's the one

[@dustieolson7513]

Why not buy a 450 xcf-w and be done

[@EverySingleSunday]

The 450 XCFW is a great bike, but it's missing the most important part of the bike for those of us that live in a place like CA. But this 500 runs better than a 450 XCFw now with all these goodies

[@rcrhinehart]

Can you desmog and not update ecu?

[@EverySingleSunday]

Yes. You just need the emulator dongle when you remove the pump on the side

[@rcrhinehart]

@@EverySingleSunday Thanks!

[@philbuck365]

Where did you buy your blue plastics kit?

[@EverySingleSunday]

They are sold by KTM. Any KTM dealer can sell them

[@escorriola1]

what is the bennefit in HP or Weight or removing the Desmog parts?

[@EverySingleSunday]

Removing them will let the bike run more consistently. Leaving them on makes for a few erratic attributes and can make the bike hard to start when it’s hot. This just takes all that out of the equation. I would say removing it is 1.5 to 2 pounds… but that’s a guess

[@chazman4461]

I did not get much more power but my bike stopped stalling regularly. It was a huge difference on idle and lugging the bike down without stalling.

[@BushmanCanuck]

​@@chazman4461 did that include ecu or just taking smog stuff off?

[@EverySingleSunday]

It needs a ECU Or a power commander

[@claytongarnett3234]

Where did you get the blue plastics from?

[@EverySingleSunday]

KTM sells them

[@SC-ui8dh]

Did you have any cold start issues with your taco Moto ECU? Mine won’t start well without the cold knob engaged (even in 85 degree weather)

[@EverySingleSunday]

Nope, no issues at all Try this - prime the pump 2 times, then give it 2 quick turns of the throttle. Pull the cold start knob and it should fire instantly every time

[@BrewsAndBraaps]

Adjust your idle

[@elvispusley3515]

This has to be the 200th video of the same thing. Thumbs up for originality guy.

[@Cheeseburger_Moto316]

Jesus 😂

[@EverySingleSunday]

Awesome. Let me know how this compares to the other out there.

[@SC-ui8dh]

@@EverySingleSundayyour vid helped me out the most, so disregard what he said lol

[@BrewsAndBraaps]

This is the ideal setup

[@1122ss]

I installed these parts and now I have a check engine light on. What now?

[@EverySingleSunday]

Something isn’t right. I’d reach out to Taco and have them help you diagnose what parts you bought and make sure you got all the right stuff for your model bike

[@1122ss]

@@EverySingleSunday it was the o2 sensor which I removed. Stock ecu. Light is off with the o2 sensor back in

[@EverySingleSunday]

Makes sense. I thought you had a full ECU like I did as well. Taco sells a an emulator dongle to plug in if you want to remove that stuff

[@BushmanCanuck]

​@@1122ssI'm getting my stock ecu reflashed by Best Enduro...really cost affective and utilitizes the O2 sensor.
