Hey guys just finished up installing a 16 mhlt on a 13 ktm sxf 450. I still plan on instaling a thermo bob. My question is what tuning are people doing on their ktms? Ill be running anywhere from 1,000ft up to 9,000ft. Do i even have to tune it? If so im just looking for something simple.

No tuning required. Tuners are nice but not necessary. More important to keep your engine temps up. Thermostat is mandatory in my opinion, possible engine jacket or similar if you still find it runs cold. If you do that and keep temps where they should be the bike will work great.
I ride with a 2013 KTM 450 and it works great with stock ecm and tune.

I'm on the same bike and had cooling issues until I put a valve in the thermo-thermo-bob bypass line to limit the fliw. It seems counter intuitive but made a huge difference. Just fyi.
