I am looking at purchasing a Forza Aprilia Eprom and air kit, my question is regarding the air kit and how noisy it is.

I use the Falco everyday for commuting as well as pleasure. Some trips are long(150+ miles) so I don't want the noise to become a pain. Mind you saying that I have Fuel cans on with the baffles removed

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I love it and I have the renegade one in fact I have two one being spare

I find the noise addictive and oh yes it can be loud but in a good way herartily recommended lovely burbling noise pucca pucca crob crob :) at low speeds and full throated unleash the beast at higher speeds I consider it a safety feature

Cheers, I bit the bullet and ordered them both

Can't wait to try my new go faster safety feature

Ordered the airkit??? From where? I've not got one. Thought they were in the rocking horse shit section...

Ed(Forza Aprilia) says he will have more air kits next week, so I have bought one in anticipation

What sort of kit does he supply?

• Renegade style?
  
  Evoluzione Style?
  
  Other?

Scrub that - just found his website ... Evo style

Indeed EVO style.

The Falco genuinely excites me, the bike has an amazing character and I love riding it, it's easy to make smooth, rapid progress. Can't wait to fit these bits.

£125... Guess I'll need to hang off for a bit. Boo.

Be interested your thoughts, post fitting, Im still doubting the gains versus the money !

To be honest the best gain is the grin factor and the noise ... Fast is still fast ... Slow is still slow .... but a beautiful beefy ... Not you squid! ... Beautiful beefy noise and the urge to shout

lets get ready to ruuuuuuuummmmmmmbbbbbbbllleee as you pull off now that's priceless lol

Induction Roar is addictive........................... End of

Nuff said ! Maybe when I'm richer !

You won't get much noise from a evo style kit as it is sealed by the tank. The rene kit will give you a nice induction roar but mostly when you accelerate. Under normal riding you will hear the cans over the airkit........until you accelerate as said......then it gets loud (and nice)

Yes what Paddy says is spot on. I (at long last) fitted my rene airkit last weekend and experiences of one week confirm his description.

What I have really noticed is it has further improved the controllability of the low revs roll-ons - say when you are coming out of a roundabout (I've basically used it only for commuting this past week so that's the sorts of roads I've experienced)

Personally I don't give a stuff about top-end (where it's pretty good too) but overall ride-ability is what I always aim to improve and I'd rate this as a worthwhile improvement.

Absolutely, not after top end power, just good low down and mid range. Proper world usage, not for a race track.
