About 3 weeks ago i purchased a nice used 09 1125R. I had a XB12R before this and still currently own 2 older X1 & S3T tubers so im not new to buells, just the 1125R. It's stock other than having a HMF slip on. I just ordered the Erik Buell Racing race ecm and K&N to compliment the HMF but havent installed yet. I see alot of posters on here mention that they have "de-noided" their bikes as well, so my question is what does "de-noided" mean or refer to? | ||

De-noid, means removing the active intake solenoid situated under the airbox. It's a device that restricts the throttle opening at certain revs/gears to help pass the EPA noise regs.. | ||

Adding the Race ECM disables the solenoid so removing it is not necessary unless you are looking for complete ease of mind. | ||

... or lighter throttle action... | ||

I just left the noid in and disconnected the cables that attached it to the throttle body. | ||

If you don't use the resistor plug, I think you'll get the CEL. I'll mail it to you for free for $1, and if you want installation instructions in color on installing it, another $1 (again, for shipping; I already printed them). I never used it, as the race ECM already takes care of it. | ||

Thanks to everyone for the great responses! This must be the shiny device that somewhat resembles an electric fuel pump. It seems as though this was a simple effective mod prior to the race ecm's being available. Jdugger...the first thing i noticed about this bike was that the throttle seemed heavy and i thought the cables were binding. Now i know why due to the obvious extra cable being used to operate the solenoid as shown by Froggy's excellent tutorial. I will most likely disconnect it to lighten up the throttle now. Thanks! | ||

The controls on the 1125r are heavy in general. The clutch, the throttle, etc., all seem to require a pretty firm pull compared to other bikes I've ridden. |
