Mapping switch, switched to the rain drops is a bit mellower, better traction in wet. Other setting gets a bit snappier.

I run mine in sunshine all the time, and I enjoy riding in wet conditions the most
2011 Race models picked up the revised 2012 linkage ratio and Marzocchi closed cart forks if I remember correctly. No magic button. Great work! Post some pics up. |

Here is my take on using the switch. I moved mine up next to the throttle, where I can flip it back and forth with my right thumb. On the 250, the different settings are more subtle. However, the rainy setting will give you more low end grunt and better hill climbing ability. The sunny setting will give you more snappy top end and will carry the revs longer; like when you are wheelying across a long mud hole and don't want the front wheel to drop early and land in the mud. I usually ride with my 2011 EC250 in the rainy setting as long as I'm in the tighter woods single track trails. On the 300, the switch makes a profound difference. I generally only use the rainy setting when I am in full race mode in the tight woods. Other than that, the rainy setting combined with the 300's bottom end makes the power delivery too abrupt to be smooth at an easy pace. As does Jakobi, I ride my 300 in the sunny setting most of the time. There is still plenty of torque at low rpms for everything but the steepest slow climbs, and the softer bottom end helps keep the ride low effort. Plus, the front wheel will stay lofted way longer in the sunny setting. Congratulations on the new bike. I hope you like it as much as I do mine. Good Riding! Jim .
