Vehicle Description
* The 1st owner made only one modification to this machine. His one
mod was having a custom fuel trimmer or potentiometer made to work
with the existing wiring harness. These bikes are known to have
fueling issues due to the massive throttle bodies and this is where
the potentiometer helps out. Unfortunately, the potentiometer is
old technology and the adjustment range was limited. The second
owner installed a PCIII that was tuned by Nels at 2 Wheel Dyno
Works in Woodinville, WA. * PCIII was installed by second owner to
permanently wash out some of the fueling issues that was typical of
the SB8R model and its huge throttle bodies. This bike accelerates
easier through the rev range than before. The fuel trimmer that had
been installed by the first owner was only finite and could not
adjust or reach some of these issues in the rev range. This
modification alone makes it rideable if you get stuck in traffic. *
Braided steel clutch and brake lines (stock ones were rubber). * As
mentioned above, the first owner added an Out-of-production
Evoluzione SB8R fuel trimmer provided by a Bimota enthusiast in
Colorado. This unit is more precisely calibrated with nearly
infinite settings between 0 and 999. The Bimota trimmer has 8
positions total. * The arrow exhaust on the bike has been cored for
better performance and sound. The result is outstanding in that it
essentially replicates full racing pipes with much better
performance and sound. * The stock tank on these SB8R's is an
Acerbis tank. The tank that's currently installed on the bike was
sealed and lined by Russ Foy in late 2014 to prevent any tank
bloat.
