1299 Anybody Experiences With Rapidbike

  1. I don't know if it fully answers your question but I've had the bike on track with the Rapidbike fitted and the traction control worked fine. Managed a drift and then the TC saved it no worries, definitely doesn't cause any negatives in my experience.

    That said, it's still running 1199 firmware (as I've been too lazy/cheap to send it away and get sorted) and I've noticed the rev limiter is a little lower than it should be. The rest of the electronics are working though. :)

  3. I know it's not a 1299, but the Rapid Bike Evo I fitted to my Hyperstrada is spot on, MWR racing air filter and GPR exhaust with no CAT. Had it dyno'd after and AFR spot on. Traction Control still works fine, had nice controlled slides on a wet trackday coming out of bends.
     
  4. So where/how is it plumbed in and how does it work? I cant get my head around how it alters the fueling without interfering with how the ECU wants to alter the fueling? Or is it just subtle refinement on the signal coming from the ECU?
     
  5. You dont need to worry about the witchcraft. Its works
     
  6. The problem is, I'm an Engineer... so I do need to know!
     
  7. Does the TC not work by retarding the ignition and closing throttle body where the rapid bike doesn't control ignition timing or throttle opening so TC and EBC etc won't be effected?
     
  8. That sounds more like a question than an answer. I'm not saying it is wrong, but I would like to know for sure. Looks like it might be an e-mail to The Rapidbike people...
     
  9. So it seems to adjust according to the O2 sensor, but send a corrected signal back to the ECU so that the ECU does not correct the rapidbike correction...

  10. From Rapid Bike site:
    It captures the signal from the ECU and sends another signal to the injectors. In this way it does not interfere with ECU parameters, but modifies the fueling.

    I have one of this on my 848/1040.
