Hi fella I know it's being discussed again here
https://www.ridersite.com/viewtopic.php?t=9977

Sorry I am on the phone with duff eyesight so can't search more than that at the moment
As for the chip it may depend what map was put on it but I would be surprised if someone went to the trouble of getting one to have a standard map on it
:smt017

I would go for it you can always put it back :smt003
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

^ Airbox before in that thread:

After:

- it's six screws to loosen the airbox bottom, to tilt it off the engine to get at the screw that holds the restrictor plate on.

And do not be afraid to both use the search function and also to ask questions

We were all innocent once - even old badger pubes....


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...
