No love for the 08 from powercommander.
Yeah I bet getting the Akro map would sort out some of the issues like that low RMP twitch on the Advanced map. I bet a new mapping and the possible addition of the throttle tube from the RC8 would make the advanced map fun and not just irritating. The RC8 throttle tube is a more progressive profile - a lot like the Throttle Tamers, but for only $35 including a set of flash grips.
There is a free tuning software ' TuneBoy' available that works on these bikes. Software's free, but you need about $50 in cables to hook up. So I potentially could DIY the maps, as the Akro map is available. But, there's a KTM dealer a decent ride away... can't hurt to call them and see how much an upload would run me. With slots 3-9 open I could potentially dump on all the new mappings in addition to the stock.
The A-bomb of options is the Vortex ECU. But it's made in Australia and the green back isn't trading as favorably against the AUD as it once was

yeah, but Powercommanders website lists it for 2009 and 2010, not 08. And it seems that folks aren't happy with the powercommander anyway on the 690. The availible tune software gets a lot more love for what I've seen.
Sent an email to a KTM dealer that's on the other side of some curvy roads from me. We'll see what they say about the cost for the Akro map.

Who does not list a part number for the 690 Enduro/SMC - only the 2011 Duke. Maybe a unit for the 08-10 might work - I know they made some big computer changes to the '11 SMC/Enduro so that could be a deal breaker... but i guess I can ask and see if they have had anyone try it out.

I have one on my 09 Duke, same motor.

I have one on my 09 Duke, same motor.
True, but different exhaust and mappings. Though the auto tune should handle the latter. I'll have to do some reserach. A quick scan last night said it was great above 3k, but dogged below and need fussing to not be a stall beast

That explains that then.
A local'ish shop quoted me 2 hours labor to flash the ECU. Seems like a lot of time for that. Anyone have this done and care to comment on the hours?

i want to say from my net research it was a .5 hour project. No dyno tuning, just a reflash'n'go. And most dealers didnt charge for it.
But Ktm being a "premium" brand like ducati, may be more. What's included in the 2 hours?
Honesty, i can change my oil and check the valves in 2 hours.

I've put in that exact question to them.
This is an 08 bike that they didn't sell, so I don't begrudge them the money for the map shot. Free is nice, but I didn't get the bike there so they don't owe me any favors. But I am curious as to why two hours. I was under the impression it was just an upload, no tuning as part of it. Of course there's the 15 min idle that must be done...
Depending on what I hear, I may just get the cables needed to do it myself. $60 for pre-made cables and free for the freeware uploader/tweaker software.
