Hi All,

i finally got delivery of my SX this week, which is going into the process to be registered in the UK, which means i haven't ridden it yet :0, she is sitting in my garden...She is number 2 and apparently the number 1 was kept by the factory making mine the first on available to public ! Not really sure if this is a good or bad thing.:pray:

i have been fitting some R&G & Rizoma parts, and i am waiting for some performance parts to arrive soon; i will take some pics and will upload them here soon.

There are couple of things i wanted to ask you, i done a search but could't find anything.

when i rev the bike, at around 5/6k rpm the cluster is flashing red /orange? i though it might be a rev limiter or something, but wanted to check with you ...

also, i am going on a track day tomorrow, and i realised going through the faults, that i had a P0087 = 'fuel pressure system fault', the bike has 3 miles on the clock! the bike seems to run fine, i guess i will know more tomorrow, but has anybody had it and will it be harmful for me to ride it tomorrow?

thanks in advance guys

Marco

Welcome Marco. The red light is the traction control working most likely. What picture is that in your avatar?

I'm not real familiar with the RX/SX dash, but both my 1125R and my 1190RS light up like a Christmas tree when you hit soft limits.
I would expect the same from the production units; kind of a cross of shift light with over-rev-idiot-light.

P0087 is most likely from hitting the START button before the fuel rail is fully pressurized. Wait a second or two more.

Enjoy, these bikes are rockets.

Read the owners manual..!!
It SPECIFICALLY says, DO NOT to free rev the engine like that. Beside there being zero reason to do it in the first place..!

It sounds like SX #0002 isn't going to be long in this world...

You should, at the very least, break that engine and drive train in properly before you track day the bike. High rpms for any new motor builds a lot of heat and greatly reduces engine life. In other words, no free-reving the engine, keep the rpms below 6000 for the first 500 km and below 7500 until 1000 km. And even though it is not required by the manufacturer, I would change the oil after the first 100 kms, and again at the first 1000 km maintenance schedule. You will be surprised at the small bits of metal that are floating around in there after both oil changes. There are a lot of them with the first oil change, not as much in the second. Food for thought. Enjoy the new bike.

yamatr, that is a picture of the WSBK ebb running a Spark exhaust, which i believe it was a one off

thank you Zac4mac, you are right, the xmas tree light is for the soft limit when engine is cold went away after few minutes... as far as the P0087, you might be right, didn't came up anymore and runned fine...

thank you for your warm wishes bell-fan :)... i have done probably the first 100km like you said, but i pushed it harder after that, i do believe in breaking the bike in hard...horses for courses....i will change the oil indeed,i always do after each track day.... the EBR is not the first bike and won't be the last to have metal flakes running in the oil... thanks for your help

What model wilber's damper is that? Stroke, or even the total length. I could probably figure it out based on the sprocket size for reference, but it's just easier to ask.

not sure Adam, i think Wilbers only makes 1model string damper.... i started to fit the parts and managed by also de-noiding the thing to save 5kg... the airbox / throttle bodies on this bike are a work of art!!

I see a lot of people switch to a 44 Tooth rear sprocket. I have an RX, but do you have to change the chain from stock to do that and what's some of the benefits? I have the tips and ECM on order though I see you can get a race ecm pre tuned to a 44 tooth one.

I know 16-43 works with a 116-link chain. I personally like 118 with the 44 tooth setting to help keep the front down. 116 might work with a 44, but it will be tight.

44 with stock chain is fine, the chain is also new so i expect it to loosen a little more with milage... i will take a picture so you can see how much room there is... i am thinking to also go up to 46, but it think i will need a longer chain for that... bike is geared way too long, still i haven't used 6th gear yet!

Played on the bike today, got a nice Black Vortex T46 and new 118 link regina chain, and it fits perfectly... Gearing feel much better than T44, still managed to get 220km/h in 5th gear with still more rev to go... first track day of the year soon, cannot wait!!

Contact Jens Krüper @ NCCR.SE, he might be able to help you...
I don't remember exactly how much it costed me as I bought it together with the race ECM, steering damper and other bits

Jen is a great guy.

I just got some more info from Wilber USA:

The 632 model is a piggyback with high/low speed compression and either manual or hydraulic preload adjust. Here are typical prices:

Model 632: Retail $999.00, our discounted price: $899.00.
You can add hydraulic preload adjusts if this interests you for an additional $249.00, our price $224.00.

It is available with a blue or black spring. They are built to your weight and riding style and have a five year warranty. They are fully rebuildable of course with long rebuild intervals, they are very durable.

I am working with him now.

Why the black headlight trim? Are you going to black it out completely?

AKA Marco
02-20-2016, 10:03 AM
no i won't.... i think the black headlight plastics makes look the front end of the bike 'slimmer', being black it blends better with mudguard/handlebar, basically the all of front end of the bike is black anyway ....it also highlights better the shape of the actual light/lamp, if you know what i mean...you cannot really see what i mean by this pictures angles...

look at this below
