How long before that happened, I have had my bike over a year and about 800 miles. Curious when the symptoms show up.

I have had my bike about 3 months its a 2015 SX, The first time was when I had 1000 miles on it didn't care much, just did it again last nite with 1100 miles on it. Had to fix it I did not want stuck some were far from home.

I got my chance to meet up with the Bimmer guys on the SX this morning at 7am. About 12 guys total met at the bottom of Angeles Crest Hwy (2). A buddy took me there and I ended up knowing 2 more guys after the intros! A couple Ducky Multistradas, a couple Bimmer S1000r's, a couple R1 Yamahas, a sweet R9T café, and 2 GS650's. Everyone liked the SX and 3 of the guys had Firebolts or Xb's in the past and had good things to say about them. I got lucky to fall in right behind the front guy on an R1 who knows Angeles Crest very well. Following him made me look gooood:eagerness:

He set a really fast peg dragging pace, but since he knew the road I could pace him easily and just hammer the throttle out of the corner if it was a long sweeper and his speed was still up. By the time we got to Newcombs Ranch for coffee we had separated from the pack a bit and were having a BALL!:angel:
IMG_0537.jpg

Breakfast at the Rock Inn, not many cars to deal with (a first) and a beautiful day! Filled up the tank and went another 130 miles criss crossing around Fraizer Park, Elisabeth Lake, down into the Santa Clarita Valley where I broke off to see a friend. The way back was less fun but I did detour through Topanga Cyn.:eagerness: and down PCH

I think I did a good job of representing EBR, a couple guys said they haden't even seen one in person. Wow. Are they out of touch? Or are we?:upset: Lol.

I ride alone a lot, so I don't flog the bike that hard usually. I'll corner fast, but usually just hold speed 'till the next one. It was really fun to keep the rev's up and have an excuse to time corner exit throttle up. WOW, above 7K and this is a whole different bike!! Sure, it pulls from idle like a Buell:D, but once the rpm are up... daymmm. The response is unreal and theres even MORE power there (gulp)!
 
I noticed the dash screen has little checks in it? You can't really see them with the dash on but when it's off, and the sun's on it? Anyone else see this?

Still haven't looked for the draw or battery drain yet....

Sounds like you had a good time. I also went for a ride up 168 to Hunting lake hooked up with a gixxer 1000 he did not know what a EBR was either, so I let him sit on it and rev it up, yes he then had a big grin. After we rode for a while I pulled over and turned off my TC and we had a half mile straight away looking at us so I asked him if he would like to see how they do through the gears, needles to say I was looking at him the whole time in my mirror up to 140 in 5th gear with a 43 tooth, I was not able to give it full throttle in 1,2 or 3rd front kept floating up.eeek !

None of my pics show the cracks/marks:( I'm not gonna worry about it. I'll send the dash off for the software upgrade soon and ask EBR (if I can quit riding the dang thing!!:love_heart:)

I'm going to find out if the EBR ECM I was so graciously loaned :))) has the quick shifter option enabled already, and post what I find. I have a Dynojet 4-113 'linear push' sensor thats perfect.

I was checking into turn around time for the dash quoted 4 to 5 wks, that would kill me.

Use gp shift kit from Precision Engineering https://www.preeng.com/xcart/Buell-1...Shift-Kit.html, order a Annitori 115mm shift rod and Dynojet pull switch. This will work for GP Shift set up. Will require some modification as the shift kit is standard threads and the shift rod and switch are metric.

Ya the wait is seriously ridiculous and unexplainable. Same reason I haven't sent my dash in. What, like they have like one dude in the back, plugging in dash boards? and the weathers gonna be great for the next 300 days at least! :cool:

On a serious note. I am completely addicted to riding the EBR:black_eyed: Really. I woke up from dreaming:sleeping: of PBIR the smooth 6,7, with the perfect exit off 8. It just does everything so dang well!


I don't want a GP shift, but the 115mm rod is great info :UP: I'll measure, confirm, and of course post up pics:)

I just put a quick shift on a FZ10 , Wow it is so fun I want one on my SX now!!! Ya gotta put a 43 T on your SX and you will love it even more , can you believe that ??FZ10002.jpg

Ya, it's totally addictive!

I'll get a 43 tooth rear sprocket soon. It's weird to slip the clutch through an entire intersection:upset: Besides anything over 90mph for long distance is annoying with no wind protection. It's almost like it funnels more air into your chest. I removed the windscreen and headlights off my STT and only have a single small headlight. There is less wind at speed on that bike that the EBR?
 
The throttle response in the mid range will be a noticeable improvement !

I do have a APH pipe , at the time they did not offer a tune and suggest I use Deans tune from IDS , about a week ago Tim from IDS e mailed me say that they now have a APH tune but only for the single exhaust and I have the twin. I am VERY happy with Deans tune.

I don't need any more power for sure. I just want to make sure my exhaust mods are matched by the tune.

I've read the EBR ECM doesn't adjust like the 1125's did, making the correct tune critical. These make over 155hp/liter stock!!
