Would anyone be interested in buying a Forza Falco chip? Bought the other week, nice and smooth but too smooth for my tastes so getting Gabro to make us a bonkers version

I've got a Gabro chip - smooth as silk .... so unless he's doing something unusual, you may not get rid of the smoothness ..... though that smoothness and predictability is so very welcome compared to the standard fuelling.

Mind you, although smooth, the go-factor doesn't disappoint.

After speaking with the man himself and other views on various sites hopefully i will get the smoothness with a dollop of bonkers

That's probably a fair description of his chips

Highly recommended

Well Ive now swapped from Forza back to the SL, mostly to try and work out my cold start sprag killing problems, everything was adjusted, plugs good blah blah,cold starting became an entirely random affair.
Thinking back, all I had done was swap ECU and eprom, swap back and we have reliable starting and none of the weird clock re setting nonsense I had.
The SL reminds me why I bought the Forza.. SL is quick but a little hesitant at low rpm, coughing/stalling.
The SL eprom is an absolute riot 98% of the time, seems like Gabro is 101%
I WANT ONE !
ps I hasten to add Im sure the ECU was at fault not the Forza

How many pennies is a gabro chip?

He seems to vary his prices and sometimes he runs a sale.
Mine was €100.

BTW I can't objectively compare with a Forza chip as I've never had one.
TBH I've never seen a back to back comparison where a Gabro chip and a Forza chip optimised for the same bike have been tested together.

I received a double map chip from Gabro last week for 70 euros. It was a fairly standard spec - perhaps the more complex ones are more expensive?

When you say a fairly standard spec what do you mean?

Same here - a dual-map chip for mine was 75 Euros.

A fairly standard setup is something such as having SL-carbon cans with a stock airbox, or open cans with a Renegade airbox.

As I say, I think he varies his pricing from time to time.

Mine had 2 maps - one for 51mm TBs and one for 54mm TBs

As I explained to him I have a renegade air kit and 2:1 exhaust with both link mods done to it.
His view was the mapping is very little different for baffle in or baffle out and a map for each TB size would be fine.

It came, it was spot on.
I might have paid a bit more than some but I don't care - it was money well spent.

As Viking says, mine was for standard headers and aftermarket cans. He did one map for std. airbox and another for a 15-20% larger airbox and free-flowing filter.

One of our members had an after market chip fitted to his aprilia mille.

Due to the fact he had fitted it but did not find what the chip would do for his set up which was fairly standard,
the motor would start with no fast idle?

The bike was running too rich, the smell from the exhaust was enough to tell you that things were not right.

Due to starting the bike with fast idle the motor was flooding.

Eventually this caused problems with the sprag and a replacement had to be fitted.

I fitted the standard chip to the bike and afaik to this day the owner is still using the same chip with no starting issues.

If anyone decides to buy a chip you must be clear on what your mods are.

I would advise that the chip that is on sale on this thread should anyone want to buy it should have the back ground of what the chip is set up for.

The seller should post up what mods his bike has to save on future problems of the new owner.

At the end of the day all a chip does is increase more fuel into the motor, to try and make the correct air fuel ratio which should be 14.7

I have only ever fitted an after market chip to one of the bikes which came with the cans to be fitted which did improve fuelling.
