Tested Exhaust Systems

At D-Spec, we’ve tested several options — but the RP Race system remains our top choice for balanced performance:

✔ Power spread evenly across the full RPM range
✔ Sharp throttle response with strong overrev
✔ Clean, race-inspired sound

Quick comparison:
• HGS – Good low-end torque, signs off early
• Akrapovic – Smooth bottom end, impressive overrev
• FMF – Good low-end torque, good top-end stretch
• OEM – Great low-end torque, excellent performance-to-cost ratio

💡 No exhaust performs perfectly on its own — it’s the right match with the mapping that makes all the difference.

Airbox & Filters

• Vented airbox lid recommended (except in very wet conditions)
• Outerwears – Primary filtration + water resistance
• 2-stroke air cage – Effective budget option under $20 (Part #: A46006026033)
• Twin Air billet cage – High-end upgrade for zero-compromise builds

Reliability & Rev Limiter

Rev limiter set at 14,100 RPM to:
• Extend engine life
• Reduce maintenance
• Avoid unnecessary mid-air ignition cuts

👉 A properly mapped bike lets you upshift earlier — for better control and faster acceleration.

Recommended Gearing

• 14-52 – D-Spec gearing for better traction and stability (118-link chain)
• 13-50 – More aggressive off-the-line feel
• XC-F & woods riders – Often run 13-50 stock gearing

Make the Most of Your Map Switch

There’s more to the Map Switch and WiFi module than just toggling between two modes — it’s a real tuning tool.
At D-Spec, we use two main strategies depending on your riding goals:

Option 1 — Two Different Power Maps

We can load two completely different ECU maps into your GET system — for example:

• One tuned for pump gas, and

• Another for race fuel.

You can switch between them instantly with the handlebar Map Switch, giving you two unique power deliveries on one bike.
Both maps can be adjusted and fine-tuned via the WiGET App, offering full flexibility for riders who practice and race on the same machine.

✅ Perfect for riders who need two fuel setups or distinct track profiles.

Option 2 — On-the-Fly Tuning

For riders chasing precise, personalized power, the map switch and WiFi module can also be used as a live tuning tool.
Here’s how we do it:

• We load the same base map into both Map 1 and Map 2.

• Then we tune only one of them, making small adjustments (fuel, ignition, throttle response, etc.) to test while riding.

• You can switch back and forth on the fly to instantly compare changes.

Once the setup feels perfect, we lock in your preferred version — and you can remove the module for a clean, minimalist race setup.

💡 This method is ideal for serious racers who want a fully personalized ECU map without keeping extra accessories on the handlebars.

Whether you use it for flexibility or fine-tuning, the Map Switch and WiFi module together unlock the full potential of your D-Spec setup.
