Aim Taipan Motocross Engine Control Unit

Motocross bike manufactures that Taipan ECU is compatible with: KTM, GASGAS, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, Honda & Ducati

The Taipan Engine Control Unit (ECU) is our aftermarket plug & play ECU exclusively designed for off-road motocross bikes: GASGAS, KTM, Honda, Kawasaki, Ducati and Husqvarna. Thanks to its high-technology 32-bit core, it represents an important step forward to improve the performance of your motorcycle, without sacrificing reliability and smoothness.

Why Choose the Taipan ECU

Engine control requires precision. With its high technology 32-bit core, at 20,000 RPM, the Taipan ECU guarantees precision of 1/10 of a degree: this means an accuracy within 0.8 microseconds (µs) for turning the spark ON.

This precision is the key to guarantee:

  • A very consistent engine rotation.
  • The possibility of repeating dozens of tests at the bench, always obtaining the same result.
  • A perfect reactivity at every minimum change of any point of a map, resulting in more power at the wheel.

Handlebar Switch 2

You can choose from up to five selectable maps with the Handle Bar Switch 2.

The Taipan can manage up to five maps that can be selected both by OEM switches (Honda, Husqvarna, KTM) or even more easily by the Aim Handle Bar Switch 2.

HBS2 is the compact, high-performance, and built tough Handle Bar Switch.
If you're looking for a highly flexible and ergonomic switch, the model from Aim offers a great solution with 4 pushbuttons and 11 integrated LEDs.

  • Map Management
  • Fuel Trim
  • Traction Control Management
  • Launch Control Management
  • Buttons Setting Memorisation

HBS2 also allows the management of quick shifting on factory-equipped bikes.

Free Spark Software being used with motocross bikes

  • Displaying system exceptions or logged issues from the ECU within the SPARK software
  • Adjusting fuel injection corrections across various RPM ranges

Tuner License

Tailored for professional tuners, this license enables full control over map creation and configuration, including:

  • Designing and modifying base maps
  • Create custom maps from scratch
  • Managing configurations to be sent and applied to the ECU
Smoothing algorithm feature on Spark Software

Smoothing Algorithm

By selecting at least three contiguous cells and right-clicking, a context menu appears. Choosing ‘Smoothing’ from the menu applies the smoothing algorithm, which is also reflected in the 2D view.

3D visualisation on Spark Software

3D Visualisation

3D visualisation mode complements the 2D view. The 3D graph supports rotation, zooming, and panning, with controls detailed in the tab’s legend.
