it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

Be patient. Memorize your reset instructions or take them with you. Find a stretch of road where you will be able to get it into sixth gear. Don't forget to watch the road while you are running it through the learning phase.


BTW........ How did you manage to install that thing and then not go out & ride with it right away?    ???     ;D

Pretty cool, but a tad distracting as I kept checking it out everytime I shifted all the way home...:o

Most of the time I know what gear I'm in by feel, indicated speed, and rpms, but for those times when things are getting busy the gear indicator will come in real handy... ;D

The one place that's a big deal for me is the Stadium off ramp that winds you back up to the Moanaloa freeway. That's a second gear turn all the way in and all the way out but the problem is that when you are lining up for it you can get sucked into staying in 3rd or dropping all the way down into first without realizing it. Then when you grab some throttle you are either revving too fast and having to shift up or you get a huge bog. Seeing #2 has been working great lately. It's also nice to know where 1st is on Tantalus and not downshifting into it twice. Sort of.   ;D

On another note the new brake lines didn't get here today.  [bang]  But who cares, really? The new levers didn't come in either and after having been special ordered from Italy and not arriving no one knows why and and the best guess is months from now.  [roll] [bang] [bang] [bang]. Other than that all is fine in the bike world.

For starts you threw me off with the M46 which I assume you mean an E46?  In the USA there is no 320d, the diesel is only now showing up in the 5 series cars and the X5, X6.  And what do we know about an aftermarket fitting of a Chrysler injection pump?? So while it might all be good it's also all bastardized stuff too. Bottom line is we don't know but whatever it has to work for the car owner and for the shop and that's a trick. Might be all good but who knows??

Wait, new levers?  Thought you had just gotten RCSs.  What's the story?

Yes I meant E46 ... was looking at an M3 E46 for sale so that was my mixup ... Well regarding the Chrysler pump, it's actually a Bosch VP44, the same one fitted to Cummings engines ... It's radial pump electronically controlled versus the CP1 type fitter to newer vehicles which is quiter due to higher injectin preasures.

I was asking since this vehicle is a US Spec vehicle ... It still has the Florida license plate and registration is from Florida, Ft. Lauderdale ... So, actually MadDuck, you confusing me now ...

I'm in Hawaii and we might have only about 5 BMW diesels over here so what do I know?  :-X  ;D

I can't really speak for the new diesel setup except that they are supposed to be shit hot.

Ok, thanks ... remember the M3 ... some guy bought it and the car left him stranded on the highway going uphill ... like 4 days after he bought it ... I'm glad I heard your advice on the vehicle ...

Special Brembo RCS levers. Apparently too special. I'll have to find out more on Monday. They are holding a brake lever for me and we are waiting for the clutch lever. Been waiting for a month already.
