i think that it may reassure some, but i have always viewed it as being a factory fitted anti tamper device

having said that most of us are nervous about this kind of thing as we are not used to doing it - so, for piece of mind it may be a good idea!

Nope
It's a belt-and-braces anti-vibration measure

It says that in the handbook for my sl chip. It doesn't however say what to use.

Silicone should be fine

I have no idea what it is. I presume it was put there by Aprilia.

Oh haha! You funny man!

I was referring to the label.

Forgive me if the tongue-in-cheek humour does not translate well. I'm not having a good time at the moment.

Hope the good times come back in sight, Viking

.... and the tongue in cheek works fine :)

New pins ordered for my chip. I should have it sorted by the middle of next week.

i now have a fully repaired chip. i'll report back when installed

Unsuccessful. I get a fault code -1 when the chip is in and a lot of clicking. That is all

Oh well, a forza chip it'll be then.

-1 is the throttle position sensor reading.

You shouldn't get this unless the diag wires are plugged together - which they shouldn't be.

Where's the clicking from and when do you get it? Is it the starter relay?

Could also be the fuel pump priming when you turn the key?

fuel pump doesn't prime and it goes into diag mode.

clicking from the rear seat area

D-Rider · #43 Post by **D-Rider** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 3:29 pm

So .... are the diag wires connected together?

The noise will be the starter relay. Probably needs a new relay but it could be the state of your battery.

the diag wires were not wired together and my battery is fine. as soon as i put the standard PA08 chip back in all was well

OK - external components it isn't !
