just got back from griff's at aprillia performance in tamworth, the guy deserves all the accolades he gets, he is a proper legend!! first thing he does is put a brew on! then he hooked it up to the axone machine, ive no idea how it works but it looked reassuringly expensive!! turns out with the baffles out it do'snt get enough back pressure causing it to hunt on tickover, griff demonstrated this by covering the ends of the pipe with his hand and the bike ran somoothly, so its back in with the baffles!! to be honest . it was fookin loud! had to push round the corner to avoid pissing off the neigbours, without the baffles it sets off car alarms and reduces small children to tears!!
i'd initiallly assumed the mapping could be done by software but it has to be done with the axone machine by a pro.
what was brilliant about aprillia performance was the attention to detail, griff noticed my chain was a bit loose and could do with some lube, i think it bugged him so he retightened, cleaned and relubed my chain! then as he wheeled it out it , he said it did'nt feel right so it was back into the workshop and much to my shame i only had 16 p.s.i in the front tyre!
i can't think of many places that would go the extra mile, if you have an aprilla and you live within a 100 radius of tamworth then griff is the only place to go to, top job!
