Hi there, does anyone here have practical experience with the Rapid Bike Race module by the Italian company Dimsport? http://www.dimsport.it/en/rapidbike/racing I have ordered this module, because I want to have a traction control on my SC59'er Fireblade. The Rapid Bike Module can do even more than traction control. IGNITION MAP using the pick-up signal management for an accurate control of injection and spark advance timing ENGINE BRAKE managed while decelerating to prevent rear wheel jumping and improve the bike’s stability while bending PIT-LANE LIMITER can be activated manually with a handlebar switch to reduce and maintain constant speed in the pit lane area DUAL SETTING to optimize the main engine parameters in real time and select the best possible setting between two different pre-set LAUNCH CONTROL allows to release engine power only once top acceleration is reached, and at the same time to calibrate the effect and timing of traction control being applied during this specific operation. RPM (SPEED) MANAGEMENT CONTROL Maintaining constant engine power delivery thanks to an effective system of RPM limiter to keep speed under control and ride comfortably even in traffic jams, etc. For the Rapid Bike Race module I additionally ordered the operating unit Youtune. http://www.dimsport.it/en/rapidbike/youtune The Rapid Bike Module has a reputation for being technically more advanced than the Bazzaz System. I spoke with a Spanish guy who is very satisfied with the Race module. I would be interested in practical experience of Rapid Bike users.

Looks interesting, let us know ow you get on with it Not seen it mentioned on the forum before so you might not get much feedback
I've received and fitted mine after ordering at the NEC - Haven't ordered the extra bit for traction control yet, but it's definitely on my list!.. What a pig to fit! It's tight under there, and careful consideration must be taken into account regarding wiring routing. One small piece of advice for the install would be to feed the loom from the rear of the bike forwards before connecting anything - this is not stated in the instructions, but certainly made my life easier. Otherwise, you're in the realms of trimming plastic to get the large connector through. First thoughts after fitment - didn't seem too much different from standard with the supplied map... Next, cover the 150 miles to allow the unit to "learn" the best map for my bike and riding style - it's bloody cold out there at the moment, and the roads are covered in crap... Finally - calibration. Transferring the learnt map and setting the TPS so you get it all... JESUS! OMFG!.. what a difference! It has completely transformed the bike. I noticed straight away just by calibrating the throttle before I had even ridden the bike. The pickup from 0% to 100% throttle is significantly better. So I took it out for a little spin and I was not disappointed - I cannot push on at the moment as there's lots of frost around, but the maps show it all... Just goes to show how much these bikes are choked with modern emissions legislation! Pros: like a different bike. better throttle response and improved power delivery all the way. Cons: I've gotta clean all the road grime and salt off my bike! In short, I'm well impressed. The ignition/injection maps show that all of the improvements are sub 10k rpm, but this probably reflects my road riding style. I'll be very interested to see what it does at the top on my next track day (next year...). It has only been calibrated once, and I'll do it again once I've covered significantly more miles to compare. with Akrapovic GP slip-on (Baffle in) Very interested to see your comments, Derchef? Maybe there's something I need to look out for? Cheers all
