Will this work on Falco

[anzacinexile]

Yes but not sure about the pedigree or how well it will perform. Bit concerned about the bullshit about the "top end governor", sounds a bit like snake oil to me

Personally I wouldn't risk it - I would go with a chip that is known to work well like the FP or head over to AF1 and ask for Gabro, his chips are pretty good

Should know better after the rear shock fiasco
cant afford 75 euros at the moment BLOODY SHOCK

Sounds like complete bo**ocks to me TBH

Natural Top Speed ? whats that then?

Personally I'd steer clear, there are plenty of tried & tested chips for the V60 out there. Worth waiting or hunting for the SL Carbon chip that is a genuine Aprilia part. It worked superbly in my Falco

F9

My take on this is:

• * Standard chip is OK - particularly if you've not changed much
  * As standard chip is OK, changing chip is not a major priority
  * If changing chip you want to be sure that it will give a benefit
  * To be sure of benefit you need to choose one where the benefits have been demonstrated (eg FP1413, Gabro, Renegade)
  * These may cost more but you know what you are getting .... it's worth waiting and saving for them - IF you really need to change the chip.
  * The one on Ebay is very cheap - if it were known to be good, at that price we'd all be buying them and would be well known (unless it's very new and nobody has yet verified it.
  
  Finally, if you plan on making engine/intake/exhaust mods after fitting the chip, you might also consider a Power Commander that allows you to change the fuel map you run.

So, for this unknown chip .... would I go for it? ..... I think I'd spend the money filling my fuel tank and go for a ride instead.


Oh BTW even be careful of brand names you know - I have heard (from someone on AF1) that the Arrow chip is just a copy of the European market standard Eprom.

Sorry if i'm going off track a little, but e-mailed Griff about setting the throttle bodies a couple of days ago.
He said to make sure the Eprom chip was set to active throttle pots.
Any advice on this, or do I wait till I get down to Griff's place and let him sort it.

Some chips disable the trim pots on the ECU - for example, the standard eprom for the US market

Think your right about that chip as we would all be lapping them up at that price.
What one did you go for falken???
