Converting MX to EX

[FrancoLizard]

My local KTM dealer (former Alta dealer) has installed all of the components to convert my MX to an EX, including the kickstand and sensors, etc. They're saying that the bike will not start and they're getting an error message saying to raise the kickstand, even if its already raised. Their assumption is that they need to apply the EX firmware.

This seems like a reasonable assumption, but I thought I'd check here before they go to the trouble of borrowing an Alta computer. If I'm using a factory kickstand, sensor, etc, on a converted MX, do we need to apply the EX firmware?

Thanks!

Did they put the kickstand switch backwards? (there is a specific orientation)

If we had a $ every time we had a wrong install on this kickstand, Alta would still be in business...

I'll ask them to double-check that. Thanks!

Dont remind me how many times I caught that in End of Line....I got good at fixing kickstand switches.
