Also apparently they can draw a bit of power so a good alternator will be needed.
My son also has a ktm 520 exc, fast bike for a 17yo that weighs about 80kg.


The ASTRA BCM controls the pump speed via rpm/car speed, and other inputs for sure, I’m wondering if on one of the two control wires a variable resistor somehow couldn’t be put in line to control the pump speed and pressure ???? I would like to have the pump pressure at around 800psi, the Astra pump runs around 1400psi, Mopar pumps are supposed to be 900-1300 psi roughly I’m told, there is also a ps bypass valve which may work, I might need to grab a cheap pump and experiment a little
