When a bike is tuned the information is stored in the ECU in so-called 'Maps', these are just tables of numbers related to functions on the bike like fuel supply or ignition timing. Bikes can be tuned in different ways to achieve different goals, for example to achieve more power or to achieve better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
Some ECUs allow you to store multiple sets of maps and switch between them while riding. One map might be tuned for riding on the road (ie. normal conditions) and another might be for the race track (ie. performance mode). These two maps are often referred to as MS0 and MS1 (MS = Map Select).
Map switching while riding is made possible by installing an electrical switch on the bike and connecting this to a specific pin of the ECU. The exact pin to use depends on the specific model/year of the bike.
The switching between maps is done by installing a toggle switch to ground onto a specific ECU pin (see below). One map will be selected when the pin is grounded, and another set will be selected when the pin is not grounded. You will need to test which maps are active for a particular switch position.
The following table lists known values for the map select pin of some common bikes, if you have information on other models that it not listed here please feel free to share:
