Chip needed

#1 Post by PH1969 » Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:57 pm

Ok I've put the SL carbon cans on the falco and it has definite steps throughout the rev range. I need to change alter the chip to match the cans. Does anyone have a chip for sale or know where I could get one? And can I leave the air box alone?

You could get one made for you. Gabro being the choice of champions at the moment. He'll programme one suitable for your can, but it would be advisable from a monetary point of view to get any other mods such as free flow airfilter done first rather than having to revisit the chip to change it when youve modded the bike futher.
Simplest option would be to get the relevant chip for the can but thats probably not the simplest option as you could be waiting a while to get one. you dont have to mess with the air filter, but if youre going to make it breathe out easier, you would probably find it beneficial to make it breathe in better too

Do the Dr Rossi chips give any modification of the ignition map in addition to the revised fuel mapping (such as the Renegade and Gabro chips do)?

We've tried to find out in the past but nobody has been able to confirm for sure.
It would be good to know.

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...

Nice to meet up Paul.

I hope youre happy with the chip and get around to sorting the air box too.
