How it does, what it does (RapidBike)!!!

This didn't answer my question!

Also, is there or will there be Wheelie Control on RB?

If the tuneboy has its own ignition maps you can either reset it to zero or you can reset RB ign map to zero but don't leave both on .... and make your your stock O2 sensors are on otherwise at the 1st crank, IT WILL MAKE A MESS I can assure you...

Actually did but was not in the right spot , here it is

The ECU itself does make adjustments for internal (engine temp, oil temp, intake air pressure, intake air temp, gear pos.) external (ambient air, atm. pressure) . The only thing RB looks for is the RPM and TP for making adjustments. since I talked to customers from all over the world , RB seems to be doing just fine except for very high altitudes. What I have seen was (I think it was around 7000ft altitude) when the stock ECU is making changes due to less oxygen content in the air , stock ecu will start to lean out the mixture in the closed loop area and RB sees it as a lean condition and wants to overcome lean condition and adds fuel, but this is not ideal since RB doesn't know the difference , in that case especially panigale engine being a giant air pump the engine efficiency is suffering at low RPMs to begin with and RB adding fuel does not help at all. In this situation we recommend starting adjustments at 6000rpm and go to +5 -5 with the corrections.

no wheelie control with the RB , when you tune is added it can dynamically control wheel spin.

I'm happy to report that Tuneboy cruise control DOES WORK with my Rapid Bike Racing.

All I did was upload the .dat file:

Panigale1199_V207_CruiseOnly_V4Tune.dat

Do not add a trim file to it. I verified the O2 sensors were on using the Rapid Bike software prior to starting the bike. You'll see the voltage for from 4 something when powered by the USB to 12+ when you turn the key.

I only went on a short ride, but my initial impressions of the RB are very good.

just install RB Evo on my '12 1199 today, went for a 60 mile right, it's already made a believer out of me, just got smoother as a day. The 1st 2nd surge is gone right off the bat.

Got a puff of smoke first time starting after install, hasn't happened in a long while, no issue after, so not worried.

Got a ENGINE! red flash on the freeway right before exiting for home, blinked for a split second on the dash, couldn't replicate the problem, got a me stretching my head. Can it be a connection issue, will have to peel back all the fairings again for a check next week.

Routed the cable between front cylinder and radiator, mounted the module where the servo use to be.

Hey Guys.

I have been getting updates on the RapidBike master on my PC. How do I know when to update the software/firmware on the module itself?

Near every time I startup my laptop its downloading an update. If you click the "?" icon on the menu bar then click "about" what version does it say you have installed?

EDIT:

Doing the above will get you the version of the software. For firmware version, plug the USB in and click "firmware" in the menu bar. The click "info Firmware RapidBike". You'll get this...

A problem...

Since I've installed my RB, I've had this odd problem twice now. Once it was at low RPM in first gear (I think) and today it was when I was in 2nd at about 4k. When I went to apply more throttle, the bike acted like it was bouncing off of the rev limiter, and would let me go any faster. In either instance, I'd switch to a different gear, and all returned to normal.

Any thoughts?

OK.

I am assuming it will prompt me to update to the latest firmware if it is outdated?

Thanks !

IIRC, I plugged it into my laptop prior to installing it and when I launched the software it updated.

Question for YTURAN.

When I received my RB Racing, the map that was loaded was 1199_12_mod1 (Full Termigoni - ECU reflashed). My setup at the time on a 14' 1199 was an Akrapovic slip-on and MWR HE filter.

If I returned to stock, would 1199_std1 (completely standard - ECU reflashed) be the correct base flash?

I'm also using Tuneboy cruise, with the file Panigale1199_V207_CruiseOnly_V4Tune.dat file loaded.

How about the 2015. 1299s? I am having a lot of problems with mine. Crappy throttle response on low rpm and a huge flat spot between 4500 to 7500 rpm. It feels like it is running real lean. * I Added the Akropovic slip on's with the up map key etc. Ran worse on low end. Will the Rapid Bike module self tune and not affect the other features like the up/down quick shifter. Traction control. Wheelie control or engine braking etc?


YTURAN. Can you pm me or answer this please? if the Rb unit will self tune and let me keep all my current features then I will try it.

Thanks
Speedy

There are 1299 profiles. Absolutely the best bang for the buck mod.

I can tell you that the difference the RapidBike Race module has made to my 1299 is fantastic.

Not only does the bike feel a significant bit quicker, it is also SMOOTHER.. The throttle response, especially in the 4,000-5,000 rpm range has improved drastically; it is more "instant" with less lag. It is also far easier to modulate the throttle now.

I won't know the final figures until I hit the dyno, but the sheer driveability factor alone, is worth it.

With the Termi Carbon slipon with front exit plus catalytic converted delete, the Sprint P08 and the RapidBike race module, the bike finally feels close to perfect. I know Ducati has to jump through hoops to meet emissions regulations, noise regulations, etc and have to deliver the bike in a "flawed" state, so to speak, but the full potential of this motor is incredible when you get the fueling right.

I might have a custom map developed, just to see what the ultimate potential is, but I am VERY happy right now. I will also get a chance to run race gas at my next track day, so I wonder how it will do when I switch to the race map?

Cheers.

Very Cool I just ordered o the Racing module and a Sprint filter for my 1299 S.
I already have the Ducati issued Akropovic Slip on's with the Up map..

Mine has run like crap since new and I am hoping this will do the trick.

I still have to wait until the factory rep checks out my bike to see why the throttle sticks when deaccelerating for a second or so..

But as soon as they figure that out I am going for it! I already have the RB and Filter sitting her in my office..

RapidBike Module Installation notes 1299S

I have some notes describing how I installed the RB module in my 1299S. The PDF file (444 KB) exceeds the allowed file size for uploading here. If anybody is interested, PM me with an e-mail address and I'll be happy to share it.

I hope it gets it sorted out for you, because these bikes when they are running well and with the exhaust uncorked and the intake flowing well and the RapidBike, it's a sheer joy, it really is. As mine stands now, I'm quite sure it's faster in a straight line than my custom tuned, full Akra BMW S1000RR was at it's best... In the area where you ride on the street, 4,000 rpm to 10,000 rpm, the Ducati is MILES stronger.

Cheers and keep us updated when you get everything installed. Remember to call Yaman (YTURAN) when you get ready to do the install; he's priceless.

Thanks for your information my friend..

.. I have started to get pretty bummed out.. I am really looking forward to it running like many describe.. But so far it has just been so- so and mostly slow. Bad throttle response, it kicks and bucks at anything below 5K rpm and just does not pull even in the mid range like a 1285 cc twin bred as a race bike should...
BTW. I did talk to Yaman.. He is a great guy and really helped me and he really knows his stuff.. I already ordered and have the RB Racing module and Sprint filter sitting here in my office ready to be installed...!

I'm hoping with the Rapid Bike Racing module and the new Sprint filter that it will finally get the AFR's in the right zone and let it really run the way it was meant to..
On a side note**
I am sure it is all the damn governments restrictions and EPA crap the factory is forced to put on it causing it to run so crappy.. Evidently the Ducati's
big twin motors are built to run hard and to be powerful but they are also harder to get into the USA due to the absolute ridiculous EPA and noise restrictions. Therefore they are forced to basically castrate the motor's ability to produce real power in order to meet the strict EPA and noise standards.. The government gets to dictate to them whatever they wish.

The EPA Sucks!
Personally it think it is because of the so called "Global Freezing" movement back in the 70's (Then they changed it to " Global Warming") when the freezing leveled off and guess what it got HOTTER .LOL. Now that both of those previously "proven scientifically" theories have been proven to be a farce... they are calling it "Climate change" LOL. Well that is Big news! I guess it took our government and all those so called "scientist's" all these years and billions of our tax dollars to finally come to the conclusion that the weather is going to change. LOL
Well what do you know, the world has climate changes..LOL The EPA is the biggest SCAM in the history of man LOL...

It allows them to do what they REALLY want to do.. And that is to REGULATE and Tax /CONTROL us all until they have total domination over all of us!

Enjoy your freedoms and the ability to ride you motorcycle while you can.
One day some liberal tree hugger bureaucrats in Washington will decide that motorcycles are a danger to the Ozone layer and that they can cause insanity, scoliosis, halitosis and of course eventually they will cause mass extermination Then of course the government will mandate we all have to ride those wonderful expensive ELECTRIC Bikes..! Of course they wont have much range so you better live close to work. LOL I will never ride an electric bike period! just out of principal..

I love my loud, expensive, gas guzzling Ducati.. I just want it to run the way it should. After al the money and time I have spent it will some day soon!
Enough ranting for one night..

Question for you guys.

Which modes do the Rapidbike "enhancements" affect?

195Hi? Wet Mode? Sport Mode? etc.

I have been setting my bike to Sport because of the stupid bumps on I-55.
