As some of you may know, I wont drive my SDR next year. It's rebuilt for the street, my Dad wants to drive it. Im gonna put some pictures in here when it's ready, it is going to look stunning, promise

i believe tune ecu can be used for your bike... if not for diagnostics control and error codes but for the fact that you can dial in ignition advance as well as fuelling plus you can also quicken up the engine response

i know i go on about tune ecu too much but I can see great things from it

im sure that your dad will love the ex race bike... and im sure that you will do very well on the RC8R

The bazzaz fuel command does the same
You can save 2 different mappings and set a new one for every track and temperature and so on

Good luck

I notice you weren't running the braced swingarm on the SDR in the pic, did you decide it wasn't worth it? From your previous posts I was getting very close to getting mine braced.

Tead

2011-02-24 17:54:00 UTC

A braced swingarm?
Need more information

Will be very interested in your results with the Bazzaz box on an RC8R as that was my plan for my next track bike.

What are the benefits of swapping to Ohlins rear shock though? As opposed to getting the standard shock rebuilt for you. Do you get better support from Ohlins or just prefer the feel.

Looks great though , will be looking forward to seeing you overtaking all those S1000RR's around the outside at 60 degrees of lean

If I'm remembering correctly the BMW got beat by KTM in the IDM already last year so it should fair pretty well I reckon

I look forward to following your progress Tead.

Like MrZ said you ought to check out TuneECU for the RC8R,you can easy import those PowerCommand maps into the program, and alter your mapping best of all is you can even make it better, with more access to variables. There are even some extra maps available for the R.

But if your happy with bike handling at this moment and seems like your having fun with it as seen on the pics, who am I to point that out

Theoreticly I could drive like this without having my hands on the handlebars
Im using stomp grips on my fuel tank and "hold" me in this position only with my knee/leg. And I've got a seat with a lot of grip

It's been a while

First race at Schleiz in the "DRC" is over.
Had to start from 11 and finished 5. in the first and 3. in the second race

This weekend the KTM Superdukebattle visited Schleiz, too.
My brother finished 6. and 5. place, great race but too exciting for me to watch my little brother

Tead

2011-05-16 12:10:00 UTC

Awesome vids there Tead. Very

Looks like you've gelled with the bike pretty well.

It's getting better everytime I drive her
But I've got too less high speed compression in the fork, have to change the setting
