Something that is going to be replaced...


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...

Hopefully! Im not keen on chips I know nothing of.. and from the labelling it is a generic random rather than a bespoke system defined one.

Daren't connect the wire back up to see what the second map is like.. assuming it has one!

From what I can ascertain, the bike had twin hilevels and an evo airbox mod (judging by the airbox lid mismatch) when it was with the previous owner so maybe the chip will suit as such but thats a bit of a gamble.

Theyre fine at that length!

BTW has anyone tested their fuel pressure, or I should say had their fuel pressure tested? Evoluzione used to do adjustable regulators and test kits and I know there was talk of varying pressures in systems..
Once I get the airkit and chip, I foresee some dyno time but Ive got a slowly increasing list of things I need to have checked /tweaked whilst its on the dyno.. altho I may just sod it all off and wait til Ive got the midpipe mod done..

I need to speak to Don at Southern Cross..

I don't think the Evo ones are available now.

I know variation has been reported but my take on this is if I get my PCIII set up right it will be set for whatever pressure my bike is running at - so it really doesn't matter.

In the days when folks were limited to fixed maps in chips, it would have been far more important.

Basically I just want to ensure it's at 3 bar like it should be.. not wanting to start playing with the pressure past regularising it.. if the base settings are where theyre meant to be it makes playing with other things easier

Have a butchers at this

I know it's on the other side, but this bloke has lashed up something that appears to be a reasonable solution.

:smt001 Cheers! Thats one route I can look at. I'm going to look at inline gauges and the like I think to start with, then if it is low/high I can look at a solution to remedy that. Saying that if I buy all that, it's guaranteed it will be sat spot on 3 bar anyway... :smt005
