first thoughts - AF1 chip

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Sat Dec 01, 2007 9:20 pm

courtesy of some judicious buying over the last few weeks, I swopped my Fuel cans and chip over today

Now, I was not expecting the chip to make a difference - nor the cans - but

I noticed something today while having a blast - wtf has happened at about6750 revs?

(I have a power commander so really was not expecting any changes - and I think there should not have been any changes should there?)

below 6500 revs the bike is pretty much as normal - the PC was doing its job and no lumpiness - seemed to be ticking over a little faster, but nothing too much. BUT hit 6750 and oh my - the bike took off like a scalded cat. (I was "following" a fireblade at the time - I am not certain who was more surprised by the pick up and go)

I do not know if anyone else is running one of these chips and can confirm what I found - but I would be interested to find out

(Some of the change may well have been down to the cans - I was using the "vented" baffle btw, but it was a very noticible change)


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...

Interesting. Disconect the PCIII and see what it does then.

in short

twinnut has been clearing out a few old pieces of falco stuff

and I have bought some of the parts - and one of the parts that was aquired as a part of one deal was an AF1 chip.. and I have to say I am impressed

(I could disable the PC3 but.. I think I will leave it for now!)
