Ive only used my race kitted 1190rx for 10 laps before the rain came (winter where I live)! Had the TC initially set on 10 and noticed it de powering even where I wouldnt expect tire spin ? My first bike with TC . Went out in the next session with the TC on 3 , no spinning , no intrusion either, then rained out . I think this bike is going to be a beast.

Race glass (just painted red , white and black)
Double bubble screen (Power Bronze)
Brembo RC19 Master cylinder, remote span adjuster
HyperPro steering stabiliser
WSBK exhaust with twin pipe headers
Dyno tuned to 190rwhp (we will see)!
Annitori Pro quickshift
Beefed up the rear shock
Dropped the forks down level with the top clamp
Padded the seat up 20mm and dropped the clipons down 15mm (this may change).:pray:

Where did you get the WSBK exhaust from?

I'm guessing it came from Arrow. They were working on some fitment issues to release the setup for sale.

I would guess that with a tunable ECM (which is available) you could run whatever exhaust you like, not to say it would be better or worse then stock. Depends on what your going for.. What's good for the track is not always good for the street. I would love a full Ti exhaust from RaceFit myself.

Can we get a shot of the bike on the other side to see the exhaust?

Arrow is willing to sell me an exhaust system, but its nearly 3 grand! I will be fabricating my own once I have access to a race ECM.

443This where power is generated , from the headers and collectors more so that the can.

Beautiful bike Betterbuell! I would caution though, that a certain race team at a certain island road race experienced repeated engine failures running a certain brand of oil from one of their main sponsors. ( hope that was vague enough to keep me from getting sued LOL).

The bike looks amazing, everything is top quality proper work. Always interested to see how things are done on race and track bikes.

How long did it take to get the screen from power bronze? It looks like they have no stock right now, but I don't know if that's just an error. I plan on calling them today.

The exhaust looks similar to some 1125r exhausts. Like a 4-2-1 design, only on yours the 4 exhaust port pipes go a little longer before coming to the 2-1 merge collector. Very interesting...

Starts with "M".....only intend on using their coolant ice, !! Liked the sticker. I was recommended to use Amsoil or the like. Strangely enough I had used the M product in 2 of my Ducatis and experienced difficult down shifts and a spun main bearing on the 1098 , so i'm very suspicious of running "M".

Hey Plotter, had to wait about 4weeks, nice quality and thick. I was hoping for a bit taller as it still doesn't give much protection.

Anyone wants a windscreen for their RX -

I got one of their double bubble screens a while back. Very nice quality, fit well also.
Offer many colors and stock or double bubble shapes.

Note on traction control...
First the way the EBR TC works is very odd compaired to my old S1000RR (BMW)..!

Second, every bike, ever made with a transmission has traction control ! Instant on, instant off.
Just put the trans. into the next higher gear..!

Mike, while I understand what you are saying about using the next higher gear for TC....if you are in a higher gear and the back tire does loose traction then then wheel spin will be at a faster wheel speed making it harder to get back under control.

Yes as Mike indicates ....called short shifting, great technique on a circuit where you know you are going to get spin up in advance . Many guys are tuning their TC for circuits to allow enough safe spin to still get max acceleration .

How does the EBR TC work , I understand that the timing is retarded depending on the speed variance between front and rear. I havent ridden the 1190 enough to get the feel for it so wondering if someone can help in advance.
