Just curious. Have any of the NEW RB dealers had to deal with the OLD
BAD
RB units. Maybe this is why Al has packed it in.
If so. How did Dimsport handle replacing the OLD RB3 units ?

that's funny...maybe you need to ask Doug, or Frank SR-tuning & Techoresearch (who was the distributor) why they pulled the plug one year before me...and maybe also Ron in AUS two years ago and...in fact I don't have to justify nothing to nobody. If somebody wants to deal with them...good luck.
And if you defend somebody who said 3 weeks ago "I don't represent Dimsport anymore" and now acting like nothing is wrong, not counting that he had same problems like me, then again...good luck.
About erased modules...I got one here few days ago from Canada (this customer is a monument of patience)...guess who's paying? Dimsport or Foster...nope...they don't answer to small problems like this, they are busy shipping "150 modules" daily
BTW who's desmoworks ?! do you have a red line with Foster, maybe you can share it with few customers...they are trying for days (there is a customer asking for a small usb cable for days and he ended up borrowing)...we appreciate your help already.

What's really funny is that technoresearch is an investor in Foster Group

that's why techno is trying to get rid of all the stock at cost...for a year now without much success...same did the AUS distributor...in fact everybody in business with Dimsport, after a while, realized what a bright future it has [moto]...and now they are looking for new distributors & dealers, like every other month...
desmo....so you are an insider...are you dismport or foster group? don't be ashamed...
sorry guys I know you need popcorn, but after what I did for rb and how much time&money I spent...I can spend a little bit more just to make it right.

It was about RB3. and the lack of proof of the numbers they claim because a printer was broken every time. The dyno sheets eventually came out, and they were good, but not as high as claimed and a bunch of other crap, including A/F ratios. I have some of the dyno sheets saved on my flickr if anyone wants to see. I think the belong to GusDuc

I'd like to see the A/F. That's alll anyone ever wanted, evidence that RB could accurately custom map the A/F from 0 to redline for the various applications on an S2R.

Here you go. These belong to GusDuc, and i uploaded it for him onto my flickr previously on TOB. I will say 1 thing, i am about 99% sure he was using the RB3 unit, becasue he did send me 1 pic that was NOT an RB3 unit.
Torque
HP
A/F
The power wasnt as "claimed" by certain users. I believe one claimed over close to or over 90tq at the wheel.
So is it a hit or miss if i purchase an RB3 unit for an 06 S2R1000, i still dont know.

Not an insider, but I ask questions before starting a relationship with a company.
