Animations & Settings

The Dr X 2002/03 R1 X-treme Kit is designed with an onboard INTEL processor for ultimate control of all 3 states of each LED (Park, Brake & OFF).  This allows our programmers to develop highly visible & effective animations where both the flow and intent are easily understood.

Special FX Animations

Special FX animations or running light animations can be activated/deactivated at any time including ON-THE-FLY (while riding) via the FX Switch.  Each animation is distinct and offers various levels of 'shock & awe' to suit your mood.  All special effects are designed with a BRAKE compliment animation and L/R turn signal override for safety.  Special effects include >> Scanner, Chaser, Stealth Blue, Lightning, Hazard and Hazard X-treme.

Turn Signal Animation

With the wide and narrow design of the 2002/03 R1 taillight, VFX designers have incorporated a signal animation that sweeps from one side to the other for maximum visibility.  When activating the brake (while signaling), the sweep animation is maintained while illuminating specific LEDs for braking.

Brake Animation

Unlike incandescent bulbs, LEDs turn on/off very quickly.  This is an added safety feature as the reaction time for the driver behind you is cut down.  However, this can also be very harsh on riders behind you over repeated brake cycles – usually the case when riding in packs.  VFX programmers have included an ENHANCED brake animations to smoothen out the ON/OFF cycles without compromising reaction times by activating the LEDs from center to ends incrementally.

BLUE LED Settings

Blue LEDs are provided as trick highlights for the R1 taillight and are simply to enhance the LOOK of your taillight – they differentiate your bike without having to activate any of the animations.  The BLUE LEDs can be toggled ON-THE-FLY for quick activation/deactivation via the 3 BRAKE TAP. For users wish to completely disable the BLUE LEDs, a BLUE LED override jumper is also provided.

Start-Up Animation

As with every new gadget, riders want to show off the exciting new capabilities of your taillight – so VFX programmers have included a trick 8-second animation routine when starting your bike >> an industry first!  Users can disable the Start-Up Animation by engaging the jumper provided.

OEM Hazard

For R1 models equipped with an OEM HAZARD switch, the Dr X Kit will respond to this switch by automatically activating the HAZARD SOLID animation with brake override. This feature is incorporated to maintain safety even if rear signals have been removed.
