Eliminators explained - deactivating ABS, side stand & exhaust flaps

Getting rid of unnecessary electronic ballast

Do you know the feeling? You want to optimize your bike for the racetrack, but the on-board electronics keep getting in the way. Modern bikes are packed with sensors and switches. What makes sense on the road quickly becomes unnecessary ballast when racing. This is where so-called eliminators come into play. Let's find out how to free your bike from electronic shackles & regain full control.

What are eliminators (dummy plugs) & why do you need them?

Have you ever wondered how to avoid error messages in the cockpit when removing original parts? This is exactly what eliminators, also known as dummy plugs, are for. They trick the ECU (engine control unit) into believing that the removed component is still present and fully functional.

• Error-free display - no more annoying warning lights or emergency running programs.
• Simple plug & play - remove the original plug, plug in the Eliminator, done.
• Weight saving - You can easily remove heavy servomotors or switches.

Bypassing the side stand switch - one less source of error

Who needs a side stand on the track? However, if you remove it, the electronics will immediately start complaining. A kickstand eliminator solves this problem elegantly. It bridges the signal so that your bike starts without any problems & you can concentrate fully on the next bend. A simple dummy plug ensures that you have one less source of error on board.

Exhaust flap servo eliminator - avoid the annoying FI error message

Are you upgrading to a lightweight racing exhaust system? Great decision! In most cases, the original exhaust flap including servomotor is removed. The result is often a red FI error light in the dashboard. You can avoid this drama with a servo eliminator. The small module sends the appropriate signals to the ECU. This keeps the cockpit error-free & the engine runs smoothly without any loss of performance. You can find suitable accessories directly in the motorcycle exhaust accessories for the racetrack section.

ABS dongles & removing the complete ABS unit for more direct braking

Are you ready for the ultimate braking experience? On the road, ABS saves lives, but when braking hard on the track, you want to feel the pressure point in your fingers without any masking. ABS dongles allow you to completely deactivate the system for track use or set it to a special mode. If you remove the ABS unit completely, you save a lot of weight and get extremely direct feedback from the brakes.

SLS (secondary air system) & lambda eliminators for cleaner tuning

The secondary air system (SLS) feeds fresh air into the exhaust gas to improve emission values. However, this is pure poison for precise tuning on the test bench. An SLS eliminator closes the system electronically. If you combine this with a lambda eliminator, the engine runs in a fixed mapping without the lambda sensor constantly readjusting. The result is a clean, constant power delivery & no more annoying exhaust pattering in coasting mode.

Secure installation & watertight sealing of the plugs

Nothing is more annoying than an electronic gremlin due to moisture. High-quality eliminators are often manufactured in OEM quality. They fit exactly onto the original wiring harnesses. During installation, make sure that all plugs engage audibly. If connections are open, you should seal them watertight to prevent water from seeping into the wiring harness.

Fault-free electronics in pure racing mode

Let's be clear - many of these electronics hacks and components are not street legal. They are uncompromisingly designed for use on the racetrack. So if you are setting up your bike for pure racing use, dummy plugs & dongles offer you the perfect basis for trouble-free electronics. You get the maximum performance out of it & have your head free for those crucial tenths of a second.
