The Chip |
|
|
Factory Pro EPR-TUONO-7C2F 03-04 only $249.95 |
"GP Gold" The chip. Fuel Pressure Regulator is below! |
|
Fuel pressure Regulator, adjustable |
|
|
EFI-REGADJ-A10 regulator assy. $79.99 |
If you are lucky and have an TUONO that has 48/49
fuel pressure, the 7C80 chip will drop in and do amazingly good things. If you have more than 50 psi, the chip will be too rich. If you have fuel pressure of 52psi/3.5 bar, the TUONO chip will be too rich and mileage will drop 20% to 30% - with not much, if any performance increase. So - in order to prevent initial problems and to allow fine tuning after install (for different airbox mods or porting or cams), get the regulator and gauge adapter now. Note: 1/4 turn on the adjuster screw = ~1 psi change - and magically - 1psi is about equivalent to a main jet size! |
|
EFI-FPGAU-A10 fuel pressure gauge adapter $29.99 |
Yep - you need this part, too. This will allow you to attach a gauge to measure the fuel pressure. If you don't want to purchase a gauge from us, it's a "schraeder type" adapter, just like a tire or tube valve stem. |
|
EFI-REGADJ-A10 gauge assy. $49.99 |
For easy, stylish use - the Evoluzione fuel pressure gauge will allow clean, accurate measurements of your fuel pressure (uses the above gauge adapter's port). |
|
Air filters |
|
|
2001 RSV 1000 FIB-APR-20306S (street type) BMC cleanable air filter ~$60 |
NO stock replacement air filter filters
out more dirt and flows more air with less pressure drop than BMC. It's
F-1 Ferrari's first choice. 4 1/4" / 108mm OAL height, and the same diameter as early filter |
|
Iridium Spark plugs |
|
|
Denso Iridium Spark Plugs plug: #IXU24 or IXU27 $15 |
Denso's Iridium spark plugs are the most consistent
firing spark plugs made today - If you want your engine to fire 100%
on every stroke, this is what you need. What does that mean to you? Firing fully, every stroke, means the best, smoothest running possible at cruise. Denso Iridium: IXU27 or IXU24 |
Custom Tuono Tuning at Factory Pro in San Rafael
For the best possible running - it's always preferred to actually tune each bike individually - after all, if it was a jet kit - you'd still have to choose the best main jet, needle height and fuel screw settings for each bike - Right?
Custom Tune
1. Install Evoluzione Fuel Pressure Regulator
and adapter (if required)
2. Blueprint fuel pressure
3. Synch Throttle Bodies
4. Install Evoluzione Airbox Kit (or not....!)
5. Install and program Factory Pro FI Aprilia map Emulator for realtime fuel and
ignition timing changes
6. Sit down in dyno room for several hours and tune each cylinder's fuel and ignition
maps for best power. *
7. EC997 Low Inertia dyne tune

Marc, thanks! Raul got it all sorted out
and I can tell you--the Tuono rocks!! It is smooth, fast, easy on the
throttle transitions and it is smoooooth!!! I am more than happy with
the work that you have done. June 26, 2003 Marc, I took the bike out yesterday to Mines Road with the Aprilia group. The bike is smoooooth and powerful. Got great gas mileage in the twisties and highway, over 35 mpg. I can feel that nice little powerful boost
at 4k. On yesterday's ride, there were lots of Tuono
riders. They were interested in the FP chip. When will you have one
ready for them? (And thanks for your help! M) Roger Shirakawa Tuono Email
about the Power Commander Trade-in Upgrade Program and the competitive
EPROM upgrade program. I want
to custom map... but... Marc |

2:47 AM Subject: Falco Eprom To: factory2@ix.netcom.com Marc, Got your chip on Saturday, fitted one hour later, grin still on my face. What a fan-bluddy-tasic job you have done. Ran the Arrows chip before which is not bad but now running yours......... Even had enough adjustment left on the idle screw so I didn't have to fanny around with the air bleed screws. Many thanks for a superb product. Chris |

| From: whoanelly@w... Date: Fri Oct 12, 2001 3:49 am Subject: hsiftac, imho chip is worth the $$... (longish) It's better then stock, smoother down low, more up top. Is it a $230 upgrade, I don't think so. I'm waiting on my 15 T sprocket now. Hsiftac Well, when I got my falco and felt the 3700 rpm stumble and the 5500 rpm hesitation, I just said "oh well". After riding with it for 6000 miles, it drove me crazier and crazier. When I had to crawl through town stop and go, the stumble was right at 20-25 mph. When I got going, the midrange hesitation was there. I was fuming that I bought a 12k bike with crap injection. I have tried 3 different chips trying to get rid of the stumble, none did. I have spent hours on a dyno trying to nail it down and get rid of it. I was at the point where I was willing
to give my bike to a shop and let them keep it until it was sorted out.
Can you say symphony? Aprilia should have shipped the bike
this way, but I am doggone glad Marc spent the long hours over many
days developing this product. Well worth it. Hsiftac, not to be a wise-a$$,
but even if you could have, what would it have cost you to develop a
custom map that is this good? |

It's difficult to quantify the changes... I've got an Evoluzione filter, and titanium evo can (that's about the only mods that actually would affect engine/map performance). I'm using the R14 (wire connected) map at the moment haven't tried R13 (wire disconnected) yet. Feels like a different bike. Pulls MUCH harder. Front end comes right up in 1st, haven't tried a powerful roll-on in 2nd but my guess is it'll be much the same improvement. The power feels much more readily accessible. Hopefully this weekend, I'll get to my 'secret testing area' where I can open it up completely, and see which map I like better. more info soon. -w PS marc: thanks for making a great chip.

/ Mille at 5000ft/1500m elevation Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 20:34:27 -0600 From: "Steve Weinhold" <SWEINHOL@westerngas.com Reply-To: rsv1000@apriliaworld.com To: <rsv1000@apriliaworld.com> While at Laguna Seca with the Mille this year, I purchased a chip from Marc Salvisberg. Upon returning to Colorado I installed same only to find the bike would not start. This was not a total surprise since it had also happened previously with an Arrow chip. I contacted Marc, who immediately mailed me a different chip to try (which I didn't due to time constraints). I met up with Marc at the AMA Superbike / Pikes Peak event. He determined that his original chip was the victim of a "technical" problem (ask him). He gave me the RSVZ1413 chip to try which of course worked. (Yes. Steve was the victim of "software said that it did it but it lied." once with us and he also got one of the other "umprogrammed" chips from another source's batch. Won't happen again with us. Now, we reread and compare, each chip, in a separate operation, just to make sure..... Marc) Although his commitment is to the racers at these events he spent several hours with my machine on the dyno Saturday evening further optimizing the 1413 chip for my particular configuration. The upshot of these efforts is as follows: -the machine has a noticeably crisper exhaust note -idle speed went from 1000 to 1600 rpm requiring a reset -acceleration from throttle roll-ons is markedly more urgent -fuel mileage is slightly improved -the surge associated with throttle off to throttle on has been virtually eliminated In summation, the bike is now a greater pleasure to ride and I thank Marc for his time and dedication to excellence.

| Subject: New chip/map
& shock Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2001 11:58:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Eric Burdick <lucsdad@excite.com> Reply-To: rsv1000@apriliaworld.com To: rsv1000@apriliaworld.com A couple of weeks ago, after the races at Laguna Seca, I had a chance to drop off my bike to Marc Salvisberg at Factory Pro in San Rafael, CA. He (and Raul) made a chip/map for my bike and I was able to pick up 5 more horsepower. (It takes the 4 Gas EGA EC997 to make that kind of improvement, no other dyno will let you build the improvements, M) Last night was my first opportunity to ride the bike since then. My bike was in the shop the last two weeks getting a new shock. I upgraded to an Ohlins unit (same as the R model) after I blew the rear shock on the trip up to Laguna Seca (long story). Anyway, the bike has a noticeable power increase and runs smoother now. It really seems to pull harder above 6000 rpm. When I picked up the bike from my dealer last night, the guy that had replaced the shock and bled the rear brake on my bike wanted to know what performance mods I had done to my bike. He said, having ridden lots of different
bikes, that my Mille was the smoothest running that he had ridden
and was very impressed. All of these changes have contributed
to the way my bike runs & handles now. After all that has been done
to my bike, the only thing left to do now (performance wise) is get
the suspension set up for me by the pros. |

And while he did his normal race weekend dyno testing/tuning for the racers, he also spent about 6 hours working on Mille's today, including 3 or 4 hr's working on mine. I received my new RSVZ1413 chip from Factory Pro Thursday, I wanted a chance to ride the bike before it got retuned at Mid-Ohio. And Wow the bike runs smooth. I put about 15 miles on it last night and 90 this morning it felt really nice. The chip I started with has map 13 and 14 in it. Early this afternoon Marc started by dyno'ing my bike with the standard chip he'd sent me. He did a set of pulls from 3,000 rpm to 10,000 rpm at WOT, and a number of part throttle pulls. He spent about 45 minutes taking readings, then went off for about an hour making changes to the maps he's already made. He then burned another chip and put my bike back on the dyno. With this chip it recorded a best of about 96 True HP which in 100 degree heat corrects to about 102 SAE corrected True hp. He also told me that it would be in the 115-120 hp range on a Dynojet. He worked on a stock Mille while I was there, it was unrestricted and made about 89 hp before and 93 hp after the chip, which was on the standard chip that I rode down there on (Map 13/14). On the way down the bike ran great, highway passing was a breeze, more than once I looked down after going around a car while still in 6th only to see me going close to 100 mph. After riding down, and getting run on the dyno, when I filled up on the way home, I'd averaged almost 43 mpg. On the way home, I was hot, tired, late, hungry, and had a headache, traffic was really heavy for a lot of the ride, and I flogged it the 80 miles home, I was either stuck behind someone or I was going past them between 90 and 100 trying to get clear of traffic, Once clear of traffic, I'd fly until I caught the next group. I ran the whole way in 6th, never needed to downshift, just twist the throttle and go. It pulled clean and hard at 65mph, and I couldn't believe how hard it pulled over 125. But I couldn't tell if it was any better feeling than it was this morning, I'll have to ride it for a while and see. Something to note, is that if the power peak was between his measure points, it never actually measured peak power. (note: I only tested to 10k. Peak might have been 1 or 2 higher if I smacked it into the rev limiter, but I usually avoid that, unless necessary. Your bike was strong enough on top to more than prove the point - even below redline! Marc) I want to thank Marc for all of his time today, and I highly recommend his tuning and chips, they make a noticeable difference in how my bike runs. BTW, He now has the start of a map for a Mille with an Arrow Shotgun exhaust and a Evoluzione Air Filter.

3 Factory Pro Gold EPROM AKRAPOVIC
SO Tuning Mille: AKRAPOVIC slipon / Evoluzione Air Filter 1 |
| Subject: Factory,
Inc. EPROM Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2001 22:25:24 EDT From: Locokeha@aol.com To: rsv1000@apriliaworld.com CC: factory2@ix.netcom.com Marc Salvisberg, the dynamo man Installed one of Marc's dual map EPROM's. The restricted map version is RSVZ6. The unrestricted map version is RSVZ13. The EPROM is shipped in antistatic foam and a box just bigger than the EPROM itself. I placed the OEM EPROM back into this box which fits perfectly in front of the idle trim pots should I or a riding companion ever encounter a failure while riding. Comments below are limited to the RSVZ13 map. Map accessibility is via the derestrict lead. An open lead put you onto the meatier RSVZ13 map. You can install a switch in that line, an insulated male and female connector or just leave it cut and insulated. I installed a switch and friction fit it between one of the relays immediately behind the ECU and its rubber mounting boot. The bike started immediately and settled into an idle. At 118~F the idle kicked up to 1550 RPM and remained there. The idle knob had no influence in backing it down. Hooked up my carb stick and found the throttle bodies were still spot on. Began to trim the air bleed screws down in conjunction with the still active ECU trim pots. Was also able to bring the idle adjustment back into play. Settled on a smooth idle at 1350RPM. This was done with the bike bouncing off the fan relay at 203~F. I rode the bike and found it was idling at 1250RPM and wasn't as smooth at its typical 165-170~F operating temperature. Came back and re-trimmed each trim pot approximately 20~ CCW. It settled back into a stable idle at 1250RPM. Down low in the 3K - 5K RPM range the bike had always been reluctant. Throttle movements there traditionally greeted you with the familiar chunk-chunk-chunk shuddering and sluggishness. I have stayed above this range for these reasons. The shuddering is now gone with the lower end of the torque floor more visible. Throttle transitions are now clean. I have a place to go now when the fuel light has been staring me down for 45 minutes or I encounter a Gold Wing moment. The story of this chip is in the middle. The midrange from 5K to 7.5K has acquired a 4 cylinder feel and eagerness. The newfound smoothness caused me to initially overshoot some corners. Power delivery is instantaneous and quite impressive. The bike has lifted the front off a few third gear corners. The front is light all the time now under power. I set the steering dampener 1 notch firmer until I adjust to it. I'm already learning to do some corners in the middle of 4th gear instead of the upper end of 3rd. The reward has been higher entry speeds and more control while giving up almost nothing on the exits. 3rd gear corner to corner work is now nothing short of exhilarating. The bike feels like it will punish ham fisted 3rd gear exits. Can't wait to get back to the Virginia International Raceway North Course on July 18th for Keith Code level 3. The entire track with the exception of turn 6 to turn 7 and the front straight in run in 3rd gear. The midrange eagerness extends into the bottom of the 7.5K to 10K top end. Marc advised he made 1-3 HP gains up top. The top feels less asthmatic. Nothing more to be said here. Mille's aren't about top end. FWIW --- I hit 155 today at the end of a local straight that I'd never hit over 153 on before. The leaner, more accurate mapping has caused the Akrapovic "can" to fall silent when feathered and to be more reserved the rest of the time. The sootiness in the end of the can is reduced significantly. Marc should be posting some plots after his return from Laguna Seca. The price for this chip was reasonable. After riding with it I would have paid more. Factory can be reached at (415)

Subject: Feedback 1 Mille Chip Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 19:58:15 -0700 From: Andrew Tyldesley <tyldesley@axxle.com> To: Marc Salvisberg <factory2@ix.netcom.com> Hi Marc, this is the first chance I've gotten to give you some feedback from the track day last week. The chip worked great. I was busy learning the Thunderhill track and overlooked trying the "restricted" map but the unrestricted was very good. The only thing amiss seamed to be a backfire sometimes after cutting the throttle and braking into corners. Otherwise I can't find anything to criticize. (adjust idle trim pots to eliminate backfiring, Marc) Relative to other Mille's blasting
down the front and back straights mine seemed faster then most (all?)
and it certainly wasn't because I was getting a better drive out of
the corner nor was I drafting people. I would find myself frequently
having to back off or risk running over people (people tended to drift
around esp. when in when there was a few of them). |
