Got my list sorted

#1 Post by paddyz1 » Sat Dec 22, 2007 2:42 pm

Over the year I have been getting my bits and bobs for the Falco. The usless warranty is as good as up so now it is time to play

I have to fit

54mm throttle bodies
Fuel pressure modifier
Factory pro chip (I have both types hence the modifer)
RSV swing arm
Front and rear renthal sprockets
LED Indicators
LED rear lights and smoked or clear lens
New set of Pirellis
Gonna get a new battery
Get some dyno time in to sort out the air/fuel ratios

Any probs and I may have to get a PC111 but I am holding off on that as I think it may be a bit overated

Get crimbo out the way and a new heater for the shed should see me alright.

i don't regret the PC3 at all - and bar the throttle bodies I think our mods are similar

I have the af1 chip in mine, and have not changed anything to the fuel system btw

instead or as well as new battery - strongly suggest an optimate

and i know the feeling - I have some new indicators to fit.... just a little different shall we say

some new rad guards and i will do my brake lines and fit the waveys....

i also have a new heater for the shed :)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

If you won't be changing your fueling/exhaust set up for a while, get a PCIII and custom map, you won't believe how smoothly these bikes can be made to run! You may not get much extra power from it, but the quality of the delivery will raise your eyebrows, much more refined.

I'm going to be tinkering with my indicators this winter as well, got something a bit special planned for them at the front. Stumped for ideas for the rear ones though, so I'll leave them be for now.

All being well, I'll be getting my hands on an RSVR top end for my engine soon, though it won't be going on untill I find some throttle bodies to go with it.

Any advence on the swingarm? I'm more than happy to cover the delivery costs!

My sister is coming up for the new year. She lives near Aldermaston or Tadley. I will see if she will take it back and you could pick it up from her house. How does that sound :smt001

Not got much of a Berkshire accent anymore - and Coventry accent is fairly neutral - nothing like those Brummies or dwellers of the Blackcountry.

Sounds like a jolly good plan there, Paddy. She's only about 20 mins from me. I can start getting excited about it again now :smt003
