Ah Griff is the man!
Glad to know he's pointing people this way too
Anyway, where are my manners ....
Welcome ste 
Tell us about your Falco - colour, what it's had done to it/had changed or modified ..... and what these problems are ....
You'll find a good crowd here who are happy to help.

welcome
now fark orf and get your credit card ready for some serious abuse
and not only dark side, but has renegade high mounts :)
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...

Welcome from me too. I've recently bought a black one too, and like you had to get Griff to sort out a few things. But rest assured, if anyone can, he can. What he doesn't know about Aprilia's could equate to the England goal scoring in this world cup...........diddly
Hope you get it all sorted & enjoy the ownership.

Ah but I think Alad is referring to the myriad of mods that tend to occur with falco ownership and membership of the forum!! The Falco is a cheap bird in its standard form and function
Welcome Ste, Good to have you aboard
