Dunno.. Something strikes me as worthy of debate though..


Top speed governor has been removed? Do they mean the redline limit has been removed? If that's what they do mean then I'd stay clear.. they probably just punt them out without knowledge of the machine theyre applied onto. If they cant technically explain something like that, i'd be wary of the product they sell.

From that link I put up..
These chips are for use with the Tuono , RSV and RSV-R. They are for use along side after market exhaust system's / air filters to aid the engine management system in getting the best from these after market parts, a Bhp increase may also be noticeable.

These parts are new and were part of a batch of equipment we bought when the MRO Aprilia challenge ended.

We have sold these chips for use with:

They at least have an answer as to where they came by the chips, what the application theyre intended for is, as well as being able to fit them too (fekkin expensive fitment though!)

That is closer to the Grail, rather than the other one that appears to be the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch..

The problem with the MRO chips is that theyre more than likely just random chips for fitment to various things.. suck it n see chip selection.. rather than an 'EVO 2' or a 'Rene +4' chip batch, etc

As always with Ebay.. Buyer beware..

Trouble with chips is they coat everything in grease, especially when sorted by a spanner monkey :smt003

I see the seller is in the US of A.
May be worthwhile asking on the AF1 forum ?
