They are perfect for when you pull up looking like Sanford and Son:angel:
Took Bubbles to "Femwalla". Its an all girl track day at the VERY nice Chuckwalla Raceway. Wow! 53 girls, some new riders, and a whole lot of them were FAST. It was really inspiring to see these ladies hauling butt and (ahem) not one single red flag all day, lol. Us guys have some lessons to learn.
They hosted a nice dinner that night and a big raffle! Guess who won THREE more track days? Add that to the 4 pack we EACH bought at the IMS show and thats, uh... a lot of track days coming. Holy lord we'll be busy. I might as well get my WERA racers license (if I can keep the rubber down). Ol' high side Cooter better learn how to ride.
Riding on that high, Bubbles went over to Kawasaki and fell for the Ninja 400 she's been test riding. She likes the R-3 she's been renting, but LOVES:love_heart: the 400. Over 2 days(!) we got screwed around at the dealer so bad we walked out. What a shame. I know there isn't much profit margin on a little bike like that but we went in prepared to pay MSRP and couldn't even do that
. All the games they play are so stupid. Oh, THAT one on special we texted you about yesterday isn't here, THIS ones on special for only $500 more, Oops! it's listed wrong, but THIS one is (for $1000 more) UGH! Can she just PAY for it and go home??
:mad-new:

Good Times ^^^ Thanks for sharing ! :applause:
But she did get a call back two days later with an apology from the GM of Del Amo motorsports. I have been buying bikes from there since the 90's and TWO locations ago... with mixed results and never got treated this well.
he said the bike was indeed listed wrong (as on a rebate) on their website. He did the honorable thing and gave her the 2020 special color bike WITH the rebate She also qualified for 0%. Oh Hell yes, we'll be right there

At her first track day at Buttonwillow, Bubbles had won a dyno session at a local high end M/C shop and was generous enough to give it to me
The EBR has been running well but I took it just to double check the IDS tune (and my work, lol). The shop was nice and had the Holy Grail HP4, and some sick Panigales!
check out that full MotoGP exhaust and dash:love_heart:
anyway, back to the cool bike:
load her up!

The results were 'surprising' and not in a good way:upset:
Runs smooth and strong. You can hear the exhaust popping on decel too. I know its a whole different part of the map than WOT, but it makes ya wonder.
If you can't read the pics, its about the HP I expected at 158 RWHP and a really, really nice curve, but WTH with the AFR at 18-22!?:concern:

That is engine catastrophic demolition range
With 3 days 'till track day I had my work cut out for me. The IDS ECM is the only mod to programming and I have faith it's ok (but a double-check is always prudent). I had recently done the valve adjust so I needed to re-check my work as well. Immediately.
I put a call in to Tim at IDS and tore apart the top end of the EBR. Three times. A flashlight, dental mirror and touching ALL of the intake system again proved it was assembled correctly (whew!, embarrassment avoided) and I got a call back from Tim, late night (for him), and super helpful. Man those guys are soooo nice.
He concurred what I thought that theres NO way the bike would run that well, that lean. So what gives?
I rented a Vitpilen 701 for the trackday to relieve some schedule pressure and sent a note to the shop to plan on re-dynoing the EBR again with WB O2's in the stock bungs instead of the sniffer in the tail pipe.
Of course I'll post up what I find (just try and shut me up! but I do have the confidence it was just a weird mistake/anomoly by them.

So for now I'll just drown my sorrows, plan the next track day and snack to the heavens:tongue-new:

Sweet SR! Since our EBR's are so similar, I'm super curious to see the sheet
And what did the Bimmer do?

The tech said EBR was not a good pull there is more there for sure. What do ya what for free ,it was a fund raiser event.
My dyno guy had issues with the rear tire slipping until it warmed up A good problem to have, haha.
I dunno what your dyno guy meant but your EBR's AFR looks awesome! (better than the Bimmers:eek-new as does that nice straight curve. Not sure what he would do to change it? The tiny dip at 7-8000rpm is what Tim at IDS says they battled for a long time, it's almost non-existent now. I won't post what exhaust he said was the best for that.
Weird he has speed instead of RPM, and no torque line graphed but your right, run 'em for charity! Thats what I say

Not a quality Dyno pull, IMO
You are right SR and probably not, honestly. But what were you looking for? Hero-one-time numbers? See the beauty the EBR curve has. Obsurdly more in the 'fun' and 'usable' ranges and even when directly compared to the V-Twin bike the EBR was meant to de-throne.
A matter of preference, you might say?
I (we?) prefer the dedicated SLAM! of torque from 7500 to 10,500 rpm redline. The absolute smack of thrust on a whim without the need for hunting gears.
Others like to ride the 11,750-12,250 rush of panic, tourette shifting to the beat of Tom Grosset.
Good times, bad times. Ya know I've had my share.
But a motorcycle called EBaaaaaR,
Is the one that has no compaaaaarrrrreeeee.
LOL

Closer to this one .The tech told me that it was not a good pull and explained to me but it was over my head or I would share with you .

SR, I know who posted that one-off dyno sheet. Everyone else who dyno's their EBR with the that same equipment (we both have) is right where we are, almost 20rwhp less than that sheet shows.
Even though you and I (and others) are a sea level, keep in mind there are many ways to 'tweak' the results on a dyno printout. I'm not saying thats what happened with the one you posted, I'm just saying I haven't seen another.
With the AFR looking that nice and the curve that smooth, I wouldn't know what to do to get that much more power out of the bike!
