The end for Rapid Bike in US...

[desmoworks]

i've got a guy who wants me to tune a rb on a 999 that he bought off ebay i  think.  anything i need to know?

Hey Brad,
The 749R has reversed polarity so RB includes an extra cable with the wiring harness to swtich it back yet again.

I'm not sure which models are like this off hand - the instructions do say though and I don't have them in front of me.

brad whoever dum-kopf (I suppose was technoresearch) translated in English forgot about switching two wires and it flooded the cyl so bad...almost damaged that engine. I had to read the italian version to make it work...and over 2 years they called me to ask what's the right way to do it. nobody knew in US...that's the support I got over the years.
On the other hand looks like you didn't read everything - those modules loose memory (maybe the biggest problem)...and they don't cover the warranty, or refund your money (this is the biggest one, not counting when they lie with free exchange)...anyway good luck if you want to try and don't count on my support (actually you can ask Ron, Doug, Frank...)

I guess you don't know who Brad is, but I doubt he is going to need help

FYI, I have another defective RB3 on a R1 '06 (I have same problems on Japanese bikes)...there is no communication with the module, was very very hard to reload that module and I have no idea how long it'll hold data and if... (so far I did only few miles).

Who did you buy the box RB module from and on what date?

today another bike with same problems...'07 Busa...lost memory completely and runs rough (in 3 cyl, like my customer said).
So far all the local bikes I did are back with this problem in 1-2 years interval (I'm talking only locals because I ride with them and they stop by every week and nobody else touched those modules), so "long life to rapid bike and dimsport"

I'll ask this again about the R6 and now the Suzuki

again I don't know why you jumping around this subject... yes I know, you the only guy who can call that invisible distributor "foster group" 
BTW tell him that from now I'll get my money back with my credit card (like many other customers did) for the modules he never sent (in fact I asked for money back, because I'm done with this crap)

You won't answer any questions as you don't want the DMF members to see the answer because the answer which is the reason YOU can't get support from the legitimate distribution in the US or Italy direct.

If you get on European forums (where RB is the equivalent of PC) nobody is claiming RB doesn't work. You are the only one I've seen anywhere. That says a lot.

  moto4us....everything is a  to you.

I bought a rapidbike 2 from Al.  He is a pretty frank kind of guy.  If there is a problem, then im sure hes not lying about it.

[Evil_Ductator]

I purchased something from Fosterrad a while back (different bike) which was an item he had to import and they were hard to get.  He was open and honest about delays and ship times, and wasn't that hard to reach.

you don't know what are you talking about...I don't need any support, I gave support all the time and I started RB here...support, haha that's funny the only support I got was from dimsport for a short period of time...
Europe...you telling me about europe, because I'm from there... ...I had customers ordering from me because they cannot find a dealer who knows all the details on e3 bikes (Norway, France, Italy just few examples) and because dismport didn't want to help them (one guy from Italy and another from France)
Anyway I'm not telling all this for you, it's none of your business and you are just a regular new dealer (yes I know you did a 749 like a revelation and you parted it out on ebay with the rb kit and yes I know you sell pipes).
On the other hand I cannot list here all my customers with problems and the main thing is that dimsport & forster doesn't cover warranty (modules loosing memory) and also they lied about free replacement for O2 simulators on e3 bikes (there is more and I wrote about that before).

It hurts my head to even read what you write. You are the one who has been complaining about lack of support. Now all of the sudden you say you don't need support and when you did it was no problem? Give me a break.

I love how you think you brought US fame to RapidBike... as far as I can tell you have done no good for the company. You sold products that shouldn't be sold after being told to not sell them. Then when there were problems you bailed on it and said it was everyone else's problem. You've never been able to show any work you've done with concrete proof - just claims. Aren't you the guy that was tuning bikes without using a dyno? You didn't start RapidBike here in the US; there are a lot of people who used it before you...

None of this makes a difference to me anyhow, I just think it is funny how you pat yourself on the back for nothing.
