I picked the bike up yesterday, what a thing. I find it very easy to ride, it's fascinating. And yeah, it pulls hard, VERY hard. I thought my eyes were about to pop out of my skull for a second, but I kept WOT because it was bananas!
@d_adams you're the right guy! And good to know for the Dash and the mileage, thanks!
I believe it already has you work on it:
The guy couldn't tell me what exactly this exhaust remover was as it was the original owner who put it on with a matching ECM. I'm sure you'll be able to tell!
Look at the ECM it should say secondary delete on it form IDS that would be the correct one.
I just brought the bike home tonight! Feels good, very good. Can't wait to bring it to the open roads, in the city I feel like it's a bit clumsy sometimes. Like, it feels like turning left is easier than right haha
Another funny thing I noticed - I don't have the "whining" noise coming from the chain. We visually checked the tension with Cooter and it looks fine. Not a big deal, but I definitely noticed it isn't here (Did I watch too many EBR videos on YouTube over the year? Probably!)
Regarding the conversation up above, I haven't checked the ECM under the seat yet - will do later on!
Man, I'm in love!

That's right! And it's totally his fault if I now have an EBR. Offered me to ride his last year and look at me know rid
I went for two long rides these last days, I get a better feeling about the bike. It's definitely 100% different from the XB12. The Buell feels like to easiest bike to live with EVER compared to the EBR haha
I also ran into a few things that need attention.
- The bike doesn't fire up at the first try sometimes. It usually works the second time, though
- "Communication error" on the dash - of course! EBRRider, you nailed the solution a few answers ago
- The "TC" icon on the dash randomly blinks at lower speed, with no specific reason (straight line, 1/10 throttle and below 30mph)
- The gearbox is kinda tricky, and the neutral is a PITA to get
- I don't ear the "whining" noise coming from the chain tensioner. Must be something.
- I need new grips, the current ones are held only with steel wire (not even a joke)
- The suspension setting is weird, it's unstable when bumpy. Need to adjust it to my weight and see from there
And that's pretty much it for now, although I'm sure the list will evolve as I keep riding it!

A little late to the table, but the TC icon flashing is a problem I have on my RX - it is a tone ring warped outside spec. I don't know what the correct spec is, but EBR Tech said that my measured runout of 50 thou was the cause of my constantly-engaging traction control. Mine would kick in in a straight line at a constant 60mph causing what felt like a misfire. Once I disabled the TC the bike ran perfectly. Well, until today... :)
