I took out the active intake solenoid on my '09 1125CR and installed the Buell resistor. The job was cake aside from getting the breather line hooked back up. I was going to zip-tie the throttle bodies together like most here have done, but I didn't see any way to do. I did a lot of playing around, and I'm convinced that on my bike, they both are linked. Even if I press on one or the other with my finger, the other will move as well. I looked long at hard at the linkages and watched how they looked and I can't see anywhere that could be tied together. Has anyone else done this on an '09 and noticed anything similar? On a side note, the heated grips are GREAT. Tonight I'll built the plug for the GPS to go into the other accessory socket, and I might mess around with putting on the new turn signals. I'll have to drill a couple holes in the flyscreen to do it. Fronts will be cake. I'm worried about the rears for clearance issues with my hard bag setup. |

The front and rear butterflies ARE linked together. What isn't a direct link is the throttle cable and the butterfly shaft. That's where you tie them together. Open the throttle and then pull the solenoid cable. Watch the 2 plates move independently at the butterfly shaft. Z |

Hmm... I'll have to take another look, then. The solenoid is gone - hope i can remember where it hooked up to! |

There are some pictures on this thread that might help. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/367280.html Mike |

Ya know the clunky on/off throttle transition at low rpms? How much does the 'noidectomy help that? R |

Pri - I noticed the same thing - it's amazing to me how much smoother it gets by revving the engine up another 1000 rpm. The 'noid has nothing to do with that, though. BTW - I was AMAZED at how much the friggin' thing weighed, and how big it was. |

if u move the throttle it goes towards the down and to the front in a circular motion(do'oh right ) but the part the gets moved by the soleniod when operated moves the opposite way. it took me a second myself. but thanks to the great people and pics on this site i zeroed in on the silver bracket, that the soleniod operates. so story short the part that u have to tie moves in the oppposite direction when in use. |

The idea on the low speed stuff was that the vacuum pulses are strong and pronounced at low speed. With the spring coupling of the 'noid, there was a possibility of the butterflies fluttering with the pulses. Tying them together gives you a direct connection and you'd feel any fluttering. Loretta is almost as smooth as silk, at 100/100AFV on the 0505 flash. Can't wait till she learns, about 400 miles since flash and ECM reset. Z |
