EBAY falco eprom ... worth a try ????

#1 Post by sthomson1 » Fri Sep 19, 2008 8:48 pm

anyone tried one of these ?

Ive got a stock chip (PA07), unrestricted, with straight through race cans, wondering if this eprom would improve the running .... ?

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...

Just got one of these for myself as I have the KN air filter and Leo leo vince exhausts , does it just plug in as a straight replacement?

Looks like a straight replacement.

Just make sure that you get it in the right way round.

IIRC the notch denotes where pin 1 is. Someone has got away with installing a chip the wrong way round then correcting it, but I've also heard of incorrectly fitted chips being fried.

just plugs in.

my bike has ART exhausts (straight through) and a standard air filter.

The eprom definitely smoothed out my midrange, however, the idle is a little lumpier (not much)
