Hi all I’ve owned my Falco since May and have enjoyed every minute of it! I bought it off a member of this forum so hi Dave if your reading.

It has a few choice mods including Scorpian cans, Maxton rear shock, Evolution tail tidy and smaller Motrax indicators all round, Skidmarx belly pan, Dr. Rossi eprom and I think that’s it. The bike is immaculate and a real credit to its former owners.

Hi & Welcome :smt006

You should be OK on here - we've a few others that speak "Yorkshire"

Nice looking bike with some good mods ...... though I think I spy a standard sidestand which might be worth attending to before it decides to topple off of it.

Cheers all the side stand is actually a boobsywoo stand and is slightly better than the original.

I bought it with just the cans and Maxton shock fitted all the other mods I have done myself apart from the Rossi chip that was fitted and setup by the famous Griff.

Great bikes these Falcos aren’t they?!

ah ..... my mistake then - couldn't see the stand properly and thought it might be standard - anyway, all good then :smt004

yep, great bikes and if Griff has been over it, it should be nicely set up too :smt003

Yes Griff has worked his magic and the bike is now smooth and responsive in any gear at any rpm all it needs now is a wheelie bar to keep the front end down :smt048

What a great site this is btw full of useful information!

welcome

and credit rating??


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...
