Theres also Gabro chips which are highly regarded
he's found on af1 forum
I've had one in my mille & have one in my tuono & rate them highly as to most the american communtity
Theres a guy on rsvr.net elliot who does custom chips
not had any experience of his but have seen good reviews

Edelliot....got it !
Part of the thinking behind trying to get the date of manufacture of the engine ( which was swapped out at some point ) is that I know what Im dealing with when I ask for an Eprom...if cam profile was updated, they'll need to know that IMO....although a PC II will help me cure any imperfections I guess !
Also wanna know whether the motor was pre slipper clutch ( PPC ) or not....

All RSV's have the back torque limiting device (slipper clutch is perhaps a generous word). The only real difference in engines is that between the twin plug small valve motor and single plug large valve engine , the large valve made a little more power than the small valve.
It could be argued that a good chip is all that you need a PCIII will only affect the fuel injector pulse cycles, however its your choice.
More important are the mods that have been done to go along with the new eprom....

Ive heard the comments about PCIII. I got a unit relatively cheaply . I am already invested in Dynojet as I use PC V and double tune AT300 on a yamaha.
Ed has told me a chip for my mods is doable. I asked him already and listed the mods. He did not have concerns about the engine.
Im pretty sure the bikes use the same motors but between 1999 and 2003, they made from 113ps, 128ps and latterly 133ps from factory...I want to know which one I am starting with.
What is less clear is how effectively switching between maps on a twin eprom will be once the PCIII is installed and tuned out on a dyno....? I may leave the unit off. We'll see. You have to understand my Yamaha has a closed loop ECU....so being able to tune these bikes so easily is a bit of a"boon"- I cant quite believe it actually....! That said, you cant beat a custom map, made on a dyno. Then again, you cant argue with the real time tuning of AT300 above that. But where do you stop?:exclamation

Thats what I though but
Does the Gen1 engine have single sparks then?
I guess this is the wrong way round then!

You see...Im reading spec sheets that say 03 has twin sparks....and twin sparks is gen 1/small valve right ?

No, cos big valve was a factory mod made to gen 1 engines before they went to gen 2...at least , that's been my understanding and despite the vagaries of forum misdirection.....!
It isnt as simple as twin spark/small valve....

correct as far as I see it yes.
Gen1 twin spark small valve 99-00 36mm inlet valves.
Gen1 twin spark big valve 01-03 38mm inlet valves
Gen1 twin spark small valve 99-00 36mm inlet valves.
