@howtzerdog I'm not sure I bought it second hand from a KTM dealer. If you go to the KTM website and enter the bike model in 'bike specific parts' it has the right model Akro in the list, not cheap new! I didn't change the mapping, but it does effect the running at veryt low speeds, you need to slip the clutch in 1st while ridding very tricky stuff or it will just stall due to lack of revs.
@desmodronic916 I haven't ridden an old LC4 so I couldn't compare. But there is very little vibration on this bike if any at all. If your backside is made of steel then you could do 1000km on this in a day, I would not recommend this bike for touring on tarmac with the standard seat. I did a day and could hardly walk the next day! There is a comfy seat option though for wimps like me! Excellent for short tarmac blasts.
@desmodronic916 Vibrations are noticeable only at the top end of the rev range. It's a fantastic bike!! both off and on road! I made 600km on motorways in a day (cruising speed about 130 kph and stops only to fill fuel; mud tires...), I think it isn't the right bike to ride more than 1000km a day, but if you really love your K you can!!
I regularly ride for 5 or 6 hours a day and I've never had any problem even though the seat is a bit hard (maybe have I a steel-made backside??).

I regularly ride for 6-7 hours a day and I've never had any problem even though the seat is a bit hard (maybe have I a steel-made backside??).
What is the part # of that pipe? I checked the Akra site but they referr you to the KTM site. Did you change the mapping as well?

Does it vibrate a lot like old LC4 640-625ccm, 55hp? What about longer trips 1000 km in a day? On tarmac
