I have. It just goes in between the sensor and the console, then you program it for whatever your offset is. Check their howto for details. . Everything snaps together. Dismantling the bike to get at the sensor is another story.

It seems like installing it is easy enough. What about set up? I'll probably do 1 down in front 2 up in back.

yea thats the other thing I was worried about. How much are the rpm's going to change with 1 down 2 up? Otherwise like you said I would probably do 1down 1up.

you're going to lose a pretty significant amount of top end. You'll be running about 9k on the highway instead of about 7k.

your top speed will be 150 and what ever rpm you are at in sixth is your spped. for example 7000 rpm would be 70 mph and so on. you can also go to gearingcommander.com that will allow you to see diffrent gearing set ups and out come so you can find out speed per gear and a lot more.

It depends on your bike. Like for me, the stock F3 didn't have enough top-end to red line in 6th ANYWAY. Not sure if that's the case for all of them, and I haven't had the new '07 RR out on the highway yet to test it.

With the -1/+2 I notice WAY more pull across the board when you crank the throttle, allowing me to be passing in a quite a squiddish manner on the highway even when I was already exceeding 110MPH. Again, this is on an old F3. I can only imagine the effects are even more severe on an RR. Either way, yes, it will increase your RPMs by 1500 - 2k. You'll find yourself looking for "7th gear" a lot until you get used to it, and it also wrecks your gas milage, as you're crusing at 7-9k.

If you plan on spending the majority of your time in the high end, you may actually want to consider going DOWN 2 in the rear. It drops your RPMs at the higher speeds, letting your crank it way further before you redline. You lose power, but gain accelleration. Great for racing on the highways. Its all up to you and how you ride.

This is ABOUT right. My F3 does 110 at 9800RPMs. It redlines at 12k, but Ive never taken it past 110MPH.
