Hi,
I picked up a mint 03 Tuono at the weekend. After nearly two years of torture commuting into central London on an 02 RSV mille I gave up and sold it. I tried a Speed Triple and Street triple but realised there was nothing to beat the twin - so I picked up a great Tuono and love it! It only had 5000 miles on and is like new.
I've been reading a lot about the de-restriction process and have a Leo vince can from the RSV which has gone on, I removed the air box restriction and cut the wire on the ecu (bottom left blue/green one on the smaller connecter)
Unfortunately, while the bike is making an amazing sound, it is now really rough below 3500 rpm and very on/off with the fuel delivery. Fun, yes! filtering through traffic - not so much.
The RSV was de-restricted by the garage when I got it - the previous owner had fitted some box of tricks in the back that I can't remember the name of (it wasn't a power commander) and it was pretty smooth, even more so with the Oberon clutch I fitted (find neutral is a pain in the arse on this new bike!!!!)
So, my worry is the bike is running lean - the operating temps seem normal, but I don't want to do any damage. Is there a way to smooth out the fueling without going the power commander/new chip route? Would be nice to have the option of wheeling off the traffic lights rather than have it set as default!
Cheers in advance
Tim
