Wanted - for assorted reasons

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Wed May 13, 2009 9:30 pm

does anyone either have a pdf or link to the installation instructions for a renegade airkit for the rsv/falco/tuono?

as most have guessed i am hoping to be acquiring one soon...

(along with some other stuff if all goes well....)


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...

What you need is to find someone who downloaded all the info from C-Plus' site before it went away.

Of course, were my pacemaker, zimmer frame and colostomy bag up to the job I might just know where to lay my hands on such info .... but some nursing chap from the swamps would tell me that I really shouldn't risk it ..........

It's actaully a very straight forward job. Knowing the mods you have already undertaken it will present no problems. Just remember to remove the small electrical connector from under the airbox and re-attach to the underside of the base plate. I also put a good blob of silicone on the heads of each of the 6 bolts that hold down the plate once they had been tightened down to prevent any issues with them coming undone and dissapearing down the throttle bodies (unlikley to be honest)

You will also need a length of hose to replace the crank breather hose. I routed mine down to mist the chain by the front sprocket

Oh and the filter gets very dirty very quickly, so a good supply of filter cleaner & oil will be required.

But the induction noise..................................fanbloodytastic.............completey addictive.............your fuel consumption will go through the roof.

You just cannot help getting on the gas
