Changing chips?

#1 Post by Kenif » Fri Jan 18, 2008 9:28 am

Has anyone tried this one on a Falco?

Yes. Now using a Ti chip though as i wasn't happy with the fluffiness at 2500rpm i still had. Now sticking with Ti chip.
It may have needed the pots resetting with the P-line chip but i just tried another German one (Triton) before settling on the Ti.

The "SL Carbon" chip works very well, as it should being made by Aprilia, if you can drop on one of those I think you'd be really happy.

Getting the pots & Co2 checked is a good idea after you've fitted another chip if you haven't got access to full dyno facilities

Thanks fellas. I know the Power Commander is the way to go but £300 is kinda escaping me at the moment! :smt009

buy from the USA

you have a gamble on customs, but 288 dollars is a steal so to speak.....

(Ask them to pack it as a personal gift may well help.....)


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...

No they won't pack it as a personal gift as i found out.
Still worth while as you'll save nearly £70.

Same subject, does anyone know if the PCIII for a RSV1000 Mille (year 2000) is the same? Or can it be adapted?

Yes - this one's fine - just the same but comes with a different map. Various maps can be downloaded from Dynojet's website - custom maps made for your own bike are even better (so I'm told .... must get a custom map .....)
