    Adjusted my pitbull stand. 15.75" wide on the outside edge to clear the swingarm.





    Most bodywork removed.



    Mmmmm, showerhead injectors.







    Looks to be another active air intake solenoid like what was on the 1125.



    Same resistance felt at about 1/4 throttle. Removed the cable, resistance gone. Yes, I hooked it back up for now.



    Suspension settings.

    Hmmm...Wonder if our spooled axle sliders would fit in that rear axle? ;)

    Might be nicer than that small spool?

    Thanks for sharing Dean! The shower head injectors look awesome! But how efficient can that be? Fuel evaporates and i fee like that would lose fuel...
    Also what exactly does the active intake solenoid do?

    Front is covered by the duct work for the front brake. :(
    Rear threaded rod needs to be maybe 3/4" longer than the 1125 one. Hole sizes are different, one is roughly 9/16ths, the other is pretty close to 1" ID.

    That small spool is the same as the later model 1125's, it's for lifting only, no crash protection at all.

    Those top injectors only come on at high rpm/load.

    The solenoid partially closes the throttle bodies to keep the noise down, it's an EPA thing, or was on the 1125. I assume it's the same for the 1190.

    Thank you for the answers. Awesome stuff. Do you plan on deleting the intake solenoid and same C.E.L that it could cause? Sounds restricting....

    Gosh that bike is so similar to the RC8. They have one down here in Spfld for 14,000. Very tempting.

    Leaving the emissions control stuff in place for now.

    Filter is up front, appears to be a K&N. It slides down into a slot and is captured in place.
