Boys and girls
I have just started my own business called forza aprilia racing

I specialise in custom made EPROM chips
For RSV models 98-00 01-03
Tuono 02-05
You will be buying IMO the best chip possible for your machine
With also far superior ignition tables
And fuel tables to match your modifications.

I have a chip for most modifications
I have sold about 50 so far with 100% positive feedback
I have been working very hard over the last 6 months to get to where I am
My aim was to produce a high quality product at a realistic price.

And I have just had the nod from the great man griff
To list my product
All EPROMs will be priced at £40 plus £1.85 postage cost
You will also receive full customer support via pm or email

Thanks Ed

Better fuelling and better ignition
Make for a smoother stronger bike

It also depends on your modifications

You can run both
IMO a power commander with custom made maps is the perfect set up
Along with the chip
You have the ignition benefits also the custom map on the pc 3

Saying that I run my own chip and my bike is bang on
Depends what you want to spend
Pc without a custom map is a waste of time

The chip will be far superior in that case
I have spoken to so many people recently running power commanders
With a downloaded map

Sabre if your bike runs good leave it be
I would be surprised if you could squeeze much more out of your bike

Without engine mods
You may prefer it
Depends if you want to spend the dollar

I can deep fry it for you
And serve with mushy peas sabre :-)

Have you seen his waistline fella, chips is not what he needs. Too many Minehead fry ups me thinks.

I think he should try one of your eeproms just as he would be a good benchmark against a Gabro version.

I had a customer that emailed me last week who had tried "both other leading brands"
I did not want to post the email on the forum in case it pissed anyone off
 
But he prefered my chip
I forwarded the mail onto Griff to read.

Bought a chip and an open air box from Ed in August, It has made a noticable difference. Yes the bike was quick before ( well quicker than my 600 gixxer anyhoo) but it seemed to 'lag' when cracking open the throttle, fuel consumption was at best 100 miles to the light on. (motorway riding)
After fitting both (dead easy by the way) throttle response was much crisper, the bike feels more urgent, fuel consumption on a run down to Ace cafe and back managed 120 miles till light on (A40 cross country).
Now the only dyno my bike has seen is my ass dyno, the chip I replaced was an RP58 and the trim pots have not been touched yet.
Am I happy? Yes.....but I have not tried any of the other chips available, probably won't either.

Oh Yellow bikes are faster anyway!!  Wink

Trim pot.. if you look at your ECU, to the right of the electrical connector are two blue spots about 4mm accross. If you look closely you will find they have a slot in each. These are to fine tune the fuel mixture, depending on what chip this could be accross the whole rev range, just low down revs or be disabled so they do nothing. Unless you really know what you are doing, leave well alone.

They are active on my chips
So as a rule of thumb I advise setting to 12 o'clock
As they are generally all over the place with the existing chip!

I have a simple process that gives you a nice clean idle
Then you can start to mess with co if you so desire and have the right equipment :-)

Damn  thing dont seem quite right to me

Seriously though, No issues fittng, starting or idling. Have had to reset my rev limiter back to 10500 as it definately seems to rev easy and mid throttle roll ons are a dream.

More real world testing to come and a dyno session but I would have no hesitation in recomending Ed's handiwork (although he could send higher value chips)

I have never seen actual power figures for 51mm - 54mm or 51mm - 57mm throttle bodies but on the assumption that more air + more fuel = more power I would say somer sort of hp/torque gain.

I have created a falco chip that works well on the following mods
Open airbox or k & n and open / race cans :-))

I will in the next few weeks have a falco chip for machines running a full system and open airbox
This also depends on how much spare time I can find to complete

I also have RSV EPROMs to suit every mod
Except engine work
So just PM me your requirements

Thanks Ed

And the fuel tables are not that great either

Even running just a can and filter
The chip will make a noticeable difference

Originally posted by Stew9955 Stew9955 wrote:

Absolutely right.  Larger TBs =  more air = more fuel being metered = more bang = more power....sort of.  It depends on other things like the airbox volume, injectors, ignition timning, exhaust (etc etc).

I never had my Gen 1 RSV dyno'd but reckon is was average (compared with all other RSV's I've ridden = a few!) so may have been around 110 to 115 BHP at the rear wheel.

My Eddy rep (57TBs) when I bought it was running the standard chip with the Akras and "only" making 120 rear wheel BHP.

Now with the Dr Rossi Chip, a Griff Tune, K&N, injector clean and properly adjusted TBs its making 131 rear wheel BHP so pretty close to the claimed 147BHP (crank) and feels bloody quick.  Ok, the Eddy has other things like 4-spray injectors and strengthened con rods so is designed for more power and  feels every bit as quick as the Gen 2;  However, having also ridden a well sorted gen 1 RSV with standard TBs fitted, there's not night and day in it.  Can't stress the importance of getting your bike sorted with regards to suspension, chain tension, TB balance etc before considering engine mods as this alone will make a big difference to harnessing the grunt smoothly.

If you want more power, dont buy bigger Tb's buy a different bike.  RSVs aren't about raw power IMHO, they're about the blend of character, handling and grunt where you need it most  on the road.  For track I'd guess most are short of breath on the back straights compared with even a Jap 600 these days.

Yes it's all about the torque
So many people seem to want high max power printouts

It's not about that
I guess that's why I like the RSV so much as a road bike :-)

How much are these chips then ? Running a blue flame can and have a kn on order , has a blue wire cut in my ecu wiring (previous owner) haven't checked to see if it has a chip but feels alittle hesitant some times and could do with more then 89miles to fuel light !

89 miles is utter rubbish, I can do that on a track day but even with my commuting I can 125 to the tank before the light comes on.

Sounds like its running mega rich, what colour are the exhaust outlets ?....black and sooty maybe ?


Posted By: kiwi_rsvr
Date Posted: 24 Sep 2012 at 19:53
Oh and one of Ed's chips will surely make matters a whole lot better but I think you need to seriously look at the TB settings as well.

Bunged the chip in  last night   and hit the wonderful roads of West Wales today..........
Totally honest opinion.......     Best mod ive done since having Griff to do his stuff on the Tuono balance TB,s etc. Some background on the bike would be blue flame evo can ap evo-kn induction set up nothing spectacular  but is the bike better for it? definitely yes,  mid range feels stronger, top end more aggresive, just feels more sorted generally ie pulls well at sub 60mph in top where as before she would give that v twin shunt ,cant help thinking that all these mods im doing is to bring it back to more like an in line 4 (previous bike being an r1) but having ridden a honda 4cyl yesterday ive now realised that the priller is far more urgent, more interesting,more organic feeling.And in a car park full of perfectly great Japanese bikes,i get a great  feeling inside when i fire up the  Rotax  no gsxr sounds like this!       So thanks Ed this is the best money you can spend  on your Ape period!

Ed,if your chip brings the trim pots back into play what happens if I put one in and the pots have been tweaked all over the place ??? (Just another interested punter who may get one off you)

Hi Les
 
Normally they are all over the place on chips where they are not active above a certain RPM range.
Or locked out completly
 
On mine I have a base setting that works quite well
You reset your bypass screws & trim pots to 12 oclock
You also check the TPS sensor
 
Running my Eprom with the trim pots set way out may cause lean or rich running
as it will affect the fueling over the whole range.
 
 
 
After you follow the simple steps you should have a nice idle
You can then mess with the TB / Trim pots to set your CO levels
 
You should not have to venture too far from the 12 oclock position
 
I have base set my RSV & it runs bang on
Have not yet bothered with the CO as I do not have a meter.
 
I have no low RPM judder whatsoever
I will have the CO checked next time I see griffBig smile

Well I ordered a chip for my 2005-reg Falco with K & N filter & GPR cans.   Previously it's been running an RSV-R Pro Chip and I've been unhappy with the elastic band feeling to the throttle and the flat spot at around 5,000 rpm.
 
The chip was posted the day after the evening I ordered it, and it arrived the following day.  I fitted it yesterday, using the clear instructions that came with it.  I am pleased to say I managed not to cock it up and the bike started as normal.  Was it revving more responsively as I blipped the throttle, or was I imagining it?
 
I took the bike for a good run today to a cafe called the Super Sausage, which is a reasonable ride from where I am in Thame - certainly as far as you'd wanna go in summer gear.  At all the times the bike felt either as good as before or better, specifically:
 
- More responsive
- Flat spot much less noticeable
- Will now wheelie off the power in second much more easily
- Will now wheelie off crests when you crack it open in third, before  was too slow to respond to throttle inputs
- Stronger top end - it's still pulling very hard at 10k rpm
 
I am convinced these are all real differences and I am not just imagining it!  I am really, really pleased.

Glad you are happy more happy falco riders make for a better world ... Honest !

I have fitted mine today (sorry ed for the sprocket based slight delay) and am comparing ed"s to dr Rossi and gabro over these weeks ... Why because I can lol ill let you have my feedback over the week but in simple terms just based on dr Rossi so far would I fit a chip to a falco is it worthwhile in relal world terms ?
Hell yes !!!

Yes what you feel you do not imagine :-)
Gains on standard bikes are with the ignition tables and
Smoothing out the fuel curve

You can notice it
It does make more power and feel much more refined !

The bigger gains come with things like full systems or collector mods
And open airkits
57mm etc etc
As you can add even more fuel and tweak here are there

For the money my EPROMs cannot be beaten :-)

If shipping to the U.S. wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg then I would be interested in a chip soon =)

Kris usually sending as a gift helps but you may need to check your local regs as the US are funny about exporting PC based stuff they may have a similar attitude to imports.

Just to update from way up the chat I happen to have a dr Rossi a FA, (ed"s chip) and a Gabro chip and am just running each one for a week or so each on the Falco so ill start a separate post shortly with my summary.

Suffice to say Ed very good first impressions from me   

I should point out all I've never actually met ed LOL

Charges are based on the value you place on the parcel
The gift tick box makes no difference whatsoever

Been caught out in the past buying expensive stuff from the us

I have been reading geoff's thoughts on assorted chips at ridersite - and this is one on the radar so to speak

I think we need to have a scientific day with a dyno

routinely, I suggest the gabro chips to folks - but am open to others LO

oh - BTW  I am known to do the odd mod on falco's - and have tried a fair few chips in the past - BUT I doo happen to have a full renegade set up on my little scooter :)

(I seriously would recommend that you get hold of some of the renegade chips to have a look at and copy / clone - the earlier ones were better i believe

A customer has just got back to me with his verdict & He is very pleased with the results.
