Engine management system
Developed by Keihin, the EMS is specifically designed to be small, light, and lightning-fast at processing data. It integrates the launch control for perfect starts, selectable engine maps via the map select switch on the handlebar, traction control as well as the Quickshifter function. It is also combined with the gear position sensor, which optimizes power delivery for each gear, while a roll-over sensor (ROS) kills the engine in case of extreme crashes, adding another level of safety to the KTM 450 SMR. The hourmeter now also features an integrated EFI status LED and fuel level indicator, so you know when it's time to pull into the pits for a refuel.
