Shaughn I thought you were being serious....I was like WTF is he doing. Well the non joking finished product looks bitchin man, came out nice. A kid came out to the track and ran with me yesterday on one of them, looked like he was having a good time, it was only like his second time on a track though but I watched him for a session and he was doing pretty well on it.
I'm a funny guy right? 
I just got back from a couple hundred miles of mostly Mulholland and still so very, very impressed. I realized I haven't done the service:upset: or even washed the dang thing since new! I really can't stop riding it. Like heroin on 2 wheels.
The bigger tips I made are deeper tone and even quieter?? I'm surprised that little mod made any difference at all. Happy though!:love_heart:
The left mirror base keeps loosening up. I have to move it every time I put it in the garage so the base loosens and the mirror stem pivots back at the most inopportune times. Like today. I went to glance at it and some ugly SOB wearing a helmet was staring right back at me! EEK! I'll add a small crescent wrench to the tool kit. Theres nothing useful in there. Not even pliers.

It's called inertia, you go so fast the mirrors just can't keep up !

Whats on the clock ??
Right at 1300 miles, so I'll hide the key from myself until the case of Amsoil shows up. I'll try do do a list of parts and procedures here for the service.

looks like you now have a low oil condition. I do have a separate question, what are the differences between TC3 and Off? I had it at 10 during the break-in and now am riding at TC3.
You will get a low oil light when the engine isn't running because the oil pump is engine driven and not moving... Your car does it too.
TC3 is the max traction control recommended setting for dry riding (as per your owners manual). I found the TC at 3 would cut in if I left a light fast, so I'm at TC-1 now. It saved me in a dirt filled blind corner:up:
I really liked the airbox video! Wow! can you see all the reversion at WOT!? Damn thats a violent place to be.
and I like that contest Silver. I bet I'll have 5K on it by december I mean I hope...:up:

The bike is off no RPMS ,so it shows Low oil,
TC is your traction control that has 21 settings. I like full power ,so off, If I go for a ride up the mountains I will set it at TC6 to be safer.The system uses a rear-wheel speed sensor, combined with predictive and reactionary algorithms, to cut fuel, spark, or both, depending on the severity of the slip incident. This is made more impressive when you consider the SX still uses throttle cables and is not ride-by-wire. The bike doesn’t feature different power modes, but EBR feels the higher settings of the TC (resulting in more intervention) will help assuage the fears less experienced riders will have about opening the throttle on such a torque-heavy motorcycle. As a convenient side effect, higher TC levels also operates as a wheelie control function as well.

Good Point TPEHAK :up: As long as its Amsoil.
That brings up a good point. Do we really know exactly what the 'noid does? Is it part of the TC?

Here is what I found , It's purpose is to pass an US-EPA noise limit for the muffler.
The particular test specifies the vehicle pass a microphone under hard acceleration, i.e. WFO.
EBR set the 'noid to fire just as it passes the mic, completely closing the throttle and instantly becoming quiet.
It only fires in 3rd gear, WFO at 5850rpm or something.
From what I understand the 1125 has the same Noid for the same reasons.
It will stay in my box of not needed parts :applause:

So then how does the TC cut power? Is it a ECM generated timing retard, ignition and or FI kill? That 'noid is meant to drop the throttle blades.
I have the noid out now, I'm going to set the TC on 20, ride like I'm 25 years old and see what happens.
I was able to finally check for a draw. and there are two separate issues:down:. I traced one to inside the dash unit itself:mad-new:, the other is a 'pulsing' one in the ECM:mad-new::mad-new:
What to do? EBR is quite busy doing other stuff to help little ol' me
Hooking up to Li-ion tender every night is a bandaid, but I'd like to really fix the problem.

I hate that we can't adjust it on the fly, but after seeing how it was designed to work, I suddenly realize its in keeping with the theme of the whole bike which is head up and out riding.
So, apparently it's important that you have the bike stopped and in neutral before changing settings or the TC may not behave as it was designed.
I read that, but still not sure about how specifically the TC reduces throttle during a low traction incident because as you say it's still a cable throttle.
If it's just killing spark, there no easy way to gradually reduce or especially gradually re-apply power. It would just be off and ON! Pretty much the same by killing fuel. That got me thinking about a throttle blade override type of system. Which is exactly what the 'noid is. I agree it was for volume standards, but is it also used to reduce the butterfly opening as a traction control?
I got the TC to flash tonight, but didn't feel any abrupt change. Although I didn't before either.
More testing tomorrow!
and some esthetic mods...
Cleaned up the rear quite a bit! Took off the pillion pegs (for now), Installed a plate relocater that was super generously donated. The LED's are ridiculously bright and make me feel MUCH safer waiting at a stop light in LA where Mary Jane is legal. I have some plans to make it a little better.
I also took off the PITA strap for the back seat pad. I spaced up the mounting bolts with grommets so it wouldn't rattle. Makes taking off the seat MUCH easier and lets face it, the strap is for dudes. If theres a chick on the back, she'll be snuggled up tight. You will never find a guy on the back of my bike. Never. Ever.

Cooter and all,
After reading about all the excitement you all are having in lotus land can not resist a few comments from the NW. I am still on for that beer in Portland, Cooter. I can not believe you are going to drive up on your XB. I have 12,000+ on the RX and do not have a problem with the seat. I actually prefer it to the squishy ones on the XB.
On the TC--Chris Rivas says turn the TC off. That is how he runs his RX and me, likewise. The bike seems to run a lot better with the TC off--as Dicky Mann used to say--it is all in the right wrist.
I modified the bar height and rigged up some panniers on my RX, but frankly I don't get why you guys monkey with the machinery. It is so brutal with the power stock out of the box why not just leave the engine as is? But then, I am not really a gear head.
