So I decided to go for a rapid bike module. I got the evo version.
At first I wanted to let my dealer do the install, it's recommended by both the dealer and dimsport, but because it was really expensive I thought I would give it a try myself.
First I got the installation manual from dimsport, so I had an idea about how difficult it would be. They sent it, with again a recommendation to let the dealer do the work.
I got my rapid bike evo from belissimoto.com, great guys, great service
So the manual says to remove the tank, but I'm lazy so I did it like this. I recommend putting a cloth or something between the tank and the frame in the front, as I made a scratch in the frame.
I routed the cable from behind the box that's housing the abs unit and battery to keep it away from the exhaust. Kinda hard to see the wires, but zoom out something [emoji16]
Then all you need to do on the left side is connect all the wires as described in the manual. Easy peasy [emoji1360]
Then to the next side. Starting with the wire far back to keep the battery uncluttered (is that a word)
I just let it follow the wiring over the timing belt cover.
This thing is a bitch to remove.
I was lazy and removed it half way. Connect everything and use the posi tap thing (i didn't know how that worked, YouTube does know though, research there)
Be real careful when tucking everything back, so you don't fuck up the wiring, like the manual says, just a little better worded.
Front O2 sensor, easy stuff
Rear O2 sensor and connection to brake light. Easy enough, just tuck it in real good so your cover goes back on.
The ecu unit itself was a bitch to install because I have the alarm, and there's not much space, I didn't take a picture of it, but I'll get one of someone wants to see. I know this is real shitty as a guide, but the manual is your friend, take your time and follow the manual!
I'll write something about how it performs when winter is over. But I had a small test drive, and it's tons of fun!
I also have a k&n filter and leovince slip on, that adds to even more fun. Or at least it feels fun! And noisy! Which is fun!
Anyway, if you're like me and are thinking about doing this, and are confident you can do it (even though you know you might be wrong) Do it!
