Not iirc

The base part of the air box is the same, the top part is different

Suggest a good look at the Aprilia Yorkshire parts microfiche may be a start

ta, will take a peek.

i'm guessing the renegade and other filter kits will fit then?

...... you'll be hard-pressed to find a Rene, Hooked or a real Evo kit (though Evo clones are available)
MWR kits look interesting

so a k&n from a 98-03 mille will fit the falco?

yes

but only worth it if you need a replacement air filter.... imho of course

Errrrr ...... NO !!!

Top of the mille airbox is different so the height of the filter is different.

You need a K&N for a Falco - not a Mille.

thanks guys. there was a cheap airbox lower and k&n from a mille going so was going to have it.

a look on the k&n website gives two variations. one compatible one not.

i couldn't get a clear answer which it was so won't bother.

Let me have a look ..... I might just have a spare Falco K&N

is the charging mod something i need to think about?

Aladinsaneuk · #88 Post by **Aladinsaneuk** » Tue Jun 18, 2013 10:30 pm

Actually Andy - the k&n from a Mille will fit the falco air box, but the falco k&n will not fit in the Mille air box

We found this out with the hobbits Mille ..... He had a falco k&n which was crushed in the Mille air box, but was fine with a falco upper

As for charging or wiring mod - not IMHO but get and use an optimate

zoidberg · #89 Post by **zoidberg** » Tue Jun 18, 2013 10:33 pm

i already have it on an optimate ta.

so i should have put a bid in?

bugger

Am being really honest here

Sort the side stand out

Then ride it - ride it a lot then see what you want to change

Being brutally honest, get the handling right first

Then look at where you are riding - town? Country a roads etc.....

Then think on the mods you want and the order to do them

Last thing to do, IMHO order the chip to fit your mods
