that's all bolt on o our bikes. hopefully they will get enough ahead on production to be able to offer engines and other bits like that dead sexy tail section to the rest of us.Talked to Erik in Daytona and he said none of the body parts are interchangeable. Any one part causes the part next to it not to fit.Said you would need all body parts,lights,harness,battery,speedo,fairing mounts.air box,radiators,oil cooler,exhaust,etc.and it still wouldn't fit without tons of work. He said nothing was impossible but it really wouldn't be worth it. |

> What is the revision?
For what it's worth, I don't have an issue with it on the 1125r, either.
It's a chassis set-up thing, honestly. In my case, the forks to have about 10mm more travel than stock, and then set them up tall in the triples, along with a generous dose of ride height compared to stock.
It will set the bike up "tall", but then when you are in hard on the brakes the effective rake is short. She falls right in.
A good suspension and chassis guy will know how to set up a bike and work with you to get it to handle correctly.
In my opinion, it's entirely possible a set up that works for one rider might not at all for another. Including behavior like stand-up on the brakes.
The other think that can make a big difference is tire choice and inflation pressures.
I never really thought that was a fair complaint of the Buells since any bike can will do that when set up improperly. |

The head angle is kicked out by a degree. That was almost universally done by racers on the 1125R if they had the adjustable cups for the steering bearings available to them, and it is machined into the 1190RS frame. Some of that is to compensate for generally higher rear ride heights on race bike set-ups. |

BTW, the 1190RS has a modification to the alternator to fix the stator over-temp issues that have appeared on some 2009/2010 1125s. (the 2008s had a different, lower-output alternator, and don't have any issues). The RS cools the stator with an oil jet, an orifice, if I have it right, that's newly machined into the alternator rotor, an operation that can be done, as I understand it, on old parts. When word or parts get out, I think it will be a popular modification.
I'd like to hear more about this. |

I have no doubt we will...once the Elves get to the point where they can sleep once in a while  |

Hmmm. Will this involve shipping the rotor to Erik Buell Racing for service? This would make me a happier 1125 owner. |

RE: Steve_a "machined into the alternator rotor" What would an oil jet on the rotor look like? Would it be a hole or louvered hole that through centrifugal force would scoop oil and spray the stator area? |
