Haven't got a clue mate :smt017

I have (I think) a Factory Pro one and its awesome... although I've only ever ridden one Falco and its only ever had the EPROM installed when I've ridden it :smt003

Soooo not much help really... but sure someone will come along in a bit and give you more useful information :smt004

I think cornish mafia had one and he suspected it might be giving him probs, but ages back and don't know the outcome.

considered opinion is that the gabro chips are the ones to go for

his are for each individual bike so....


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...

I asked Griff about fitting a Garbo chip but contrary to the view on the AF1 forum, the Dr Rosi one was the chip he recommended.

My Aprilia Racing chip seems pretty good to me though, but maybe another would give better MPG.

I have the af1 race mille chip fitted and that is good - but i also have pc3.....

i think for a more stock falco, the dr rossi chip is a good chip - but once you start doing more exotic stuff, ie renegade air box etc, then gabro may be better

is all down to personal taste....

I got mine at RSVR Zone from Dr Rossi and have to say it does make a difference for sure and the bike felt a bit more responsive but i only ever managed to get low to mid 140's MPH ............quicker of the mark but at a top end lose i think ?!?! ................Changed the whole thing in the end and got myself an RSVR 2003 ECU unit with an Edwards chip in it .....plugged it in and away you go .....
Had one in my last Falco and knew it was going to work and go with my open pipes and air box ..........

Forgot to add i also run the HOOKED airbox which is made by another clever man on RSVR zone ...............although i couldn't just leave that alone either so JUST HAD to add a little something from myself to help seal it in under the tank ....... :smt009

Went for the first real ride on it this week and have to say pleased with every thing so far but can see me dropping it throught hte rings on the front forks to try and get her to turn in a bit better ..........back is already up by about 12 - 15 mm ........can't really remember .... :smt017

New Dunlops and away we got .............the only gutting thing is it just ..........and i mean just ...........can't keep up with my mates 2000 RSVR ..........

Shall i fit an RSVR engine ............??????.......They do just fit straight in ........DON'T THEY ?????

Heard of a lot of chips and airboxes but never come across this DrRossi thing or the Capp'n Hook airbox.

How come they've slipped under the radar :smt017

Hooked is very similar to the Rene airkit

........for the airbox .................... http://www.rsvzone.com/forums/showthrea ... ked+airbox

And also this one sounds good ........will probably be going to try it this weekend ............anyone see any problems ?

http://www.rsvzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5102

And as for my mates RSVR ....it just has that little bit in each gear and it pulls away , slowly but enough to piss you off sometimes ....especially after a good set of bends and your still there on his tail ...............I know it's the price you pay for having the falco but always keen to know if the difference can be made up and how ..........
