RapidBike Master Pro Software Info!

Parallels is sold at the Apple Store. So I would considerate safe. Next Mac I get I'm setting up with parallels and the latest windows so I can get the best of both worlds. Okay not the best ( it will have windows on it) butt, at least it doesn't limit my ability with software.
 
I use VMWare simply because my business has been heavily vested in VM for our PCs for years. We use a lot of different types of industrial automation software that doesn't play well with others and is almost solely dependent on XP. Well last year I decided to try Mac and import some of our existing VM Images and test to see if our automation software worked and if I could communicate with a variety of RS232, USB, and Ethernet devices. It all worked perfectly. Very little learning curve and I've had no issues since. So in my opinion if you have the time to invest or are already tied into VM somehow that seems to be a good way to go with the Mac. I haven't found anything I can't talk to yet with it.
 
I am using Bootcamp on my macbook air for a small win7 install to run the Rapidbike software, and it works perfectly :)

Bootcamp is supplied by Apple and is a free software package, only thing is that you need to reboot the computer to switch between operating systems, while parallels and VM work within MacOS so it is more akin to just running a program in the OS.

Also the status screen in the free software works and displays information about the injectors when the bike is running. Although it is not any information that I know how to use, so probably best to leave that for tuners :)
 
Quick Question,
At the risk of sounding like scrooge, What is so special about the Rapidbike usb lead to make it 6-8 times more expensive then a standard 4-6 wire usb lead ?

Cheapest new price I have been offered one for is 60 Euro delivered
( £50GBP/$80USD)

I will take at look at VM Ware again. I tried it MANY years ago, was a little disappointed.

Take a look at Oracle's VirtualBox. I have been using it for a very long time and it has support for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris hosts.

It works just like VMware, but it is free.
 
What do I have to do to make Bluetooth work?

:D

I'm kind of confused on a few issues. Really all that is necessary is to install the unit, correct?

The base map that you guys load is designed to be close to what is ideal for the user, based on what his/her reported setup is. The auto adapt feature will fine tune it. Is it required to read and send this map to the RB module?

Or can one just ride for say, 200 miles after install, read and save the auto adapted map in case its ever needed to be reloaded as an updated "base" in the future?

I noticed on my RB, the "start correction" field was set at 3500 RPM. Is there a reason this woudn't be as low as possible; 1100 RPM?

Do you remember the paper that was included in your box? 1- warranty 2- how to register your Rb, you will find the clues in both papers. :cool:

All of our issues have been misuse and end user playing with settings without knowing how!

In most and almost all cases, you don't need to do anything but if you must know please e-mail me [email protected]

i don't get on the forum to read as much so if I missed and important question, it is better to communicate via e-mail.

Enjoy!

I'm aware of the paper and what's on it. Didn't answer my question(s) other than saying don't change anything because we say so.

Ok,

Bluetooth function allows you to communicate with the module wirelessly, you will need an additional device plugged into you existing RB harness to activate the future. $150 .

I have written a lot about RB here on this forum just use simple search function.

Having the adaptive tuning down to 1100 will interfere with your idling and cold starts which we do not control / adjust , it can create a confliction between stock ECU and the RB itself.

You will see typical changes after even 10-15 mile of riding the bike if you look at the trim maps under adaptivity maps. Let it work in the back ground it will CONSTANTLY change , negative or positive numbers have nothing to do with HP or anything else, it just means how much more or less fuel your bike needed in that particular throttle position and RPM to meet the TARGET. We found 3000-3500 rpm to be the best spot to start on Panigale, anything below that rpm is useless that is why where we started at is probably lowest you should go, 3000-3500 RPM . I hope all of your questions has been answered :)

Thanks.

Oh trust me. I spend days going over all the various threads here and on the 899 site. They are pretty fragmented which make it hard to get a through understanding.

Thank you for the helpful answer; that's what I was looking to know.
 
sub'ing to thread for general info.

I'm really really on the fence to try this device on my R1200GSw. I have a full Akrapovic and a high flow filter, and these bikes run lean as it is. Looking at reflashing options and this. PCV is out because I want fueling and timing to be optimized. I have an AF-XIED on right now to control my closed loop fueling and the bike rides great, but i need the open loop optimized also...so that means either stacking the XIED with a re-map or going to something like this.

Seems like alot of Panigale and S1000RR folks dig this device, but without access to a dyno, I don't have any way to verify really that it is doing what it says it doing or what it needs to do.

Uncharted territory for us GS folks.....I have no shortage of people from the GS world trying to get me to guinea pig it, just not sure i want to be that guy. hahaha

Uncharted territory for you but not for the GS owners ;) we haven't sold as many as panigale kits but even Roland Sands Design started using our kits. Their 1st one was a custom Panigale R , the other 2 are BMW kits and for some famous names that I have to keep my mouth shut about it.

As for your Bike, I can post the R1200 GS charts here, what year is the bike ?

Hi! thanks for taking the time...its uncharted for me and everyone in aDVRider where i usually am. Not many people tuning this way but lots of people looking for solutions. looks like you are "the guy" for this? helpful!

Mine is a 2015 liquid cooled....Super interested to see power and especially a/f curves

Does the Rapid Bike Racing work as plug, play, and ride? I live overseas in an area I dont have access to a dyno or a competent tuner, so what I need is the "90% solution" that I can just wire it up and go. How good is the auto adjust? Does it automatically adjust ignition timing and fueling? or just fueling?

My goal is to have some unit that can just be installed and have it automatically correct:
-ignition timing curve
-the on load/open loop fuel curve
-the low rpm/cruising/part throttle
-have it adapt to different pump fuel qualities I encounter traveling, preferably without needing a laptop.

I understand that to get everything on the table, it would need a dyno tune. I'm not looking for every last HP available, I just need the bike to run correctly and not be lean, and get most of the benefit out of the parts added.

If you could post a couple charts from water cooled GS' that would be great. I think about 7-8hrs ahead, but would love to jump on a call with you for a few minutes

Cheers!

If you are in Brazil or the product is going to be used in that country, please do not purchase it from us, I also can NOT sell you any products if the country you are in has a Rapid Bike distributor.

Now I can answer your questions:

Yes to everything except for the different pump fuel qualities, I don't know of any system that actually can....

Our system is plug and play, professional installation is always recommended. Auto adaptivity will take care of fueling, you shouldn't have to worry about dyno tuning since especially if you are traveling , how good is the dyno tune anyways.

e-mail us for the dyno charts, [email protected]

Email sent. I would buy from you. It comes to me via a mail forwarder in the US and it is a US spec bike.
 
Hello YTURAN! I actually bought the Rapidbike Racing kit from a member on here. Got it installed last year and downloaded the software back then. Never once tried the software since and now, it said I need to upgrade it. But, it asked for the authorization code which I don't have. What can I do in this situation? I got the original box still. But nothing on it that looks like a code.
 
Just got my RapidBike EVO and connected it to the software (free version)


Is it worth calibratin the TPS? This can’t be done without a dyno as the bike only gives 33% throttle in neutral.




In the software, if I just disconnect USB any changes will not be saved to the module right?


Can the pre loaded software from the factory be reloaded if changes are made and not wanted? I didn’t make any changes but have not done a back up either - the instructions seem to point that the original map is pre saved and can be reloaded?

Just leave it alone, Panigale TPS #'s are rarely off in RB software.

Correct, you'll need to click on "send Map" and also click on disconnect USB

You can only reload a map , everything else like a master reset or reprogramming of the module has to be done with RB Master Pro.
