I have heard that sidecars experience problems when fitting an R1 crossplane engine, going in to limp mode or limited power? Is this related to the IMU?

Re: R1 Crossplane
One area in general I've seen is what is called the "tip-over" switch. G forces on sidecar are different than bike, switch can "think" bike fell down.

Re: R1 Crossplane
Thanks for the reply. On a GSXR, the tipover switch is bypassed using two 150ohm resistors.
Just wondering why no one uses the big bang engine. What issues did Tim Reeves have using one?

Re: R1 Crossplane
Any engine that has TOS, you can look up test specs in manual. It's just a variable resistor in most. Just replace with two fixed resistor that make correct voltage.
I remember one of our guys running a new Blackbird, and have entire system shutdown in highspeed right hand turn, scary.
