Newbe

Hi to all,
in keeping with site protocol and being a `newbie` I would like to introduce myself. I have been an Aprilia owner for over five years now, albeit a 250 Sport City scooter (which is my daily winter commuter and I love it !!!) I also have a 2000 R1 (last of the viscous carb models lol ) and a 97 VFR750 FV which I recently streetfightered. Having completed that and having ridden and admired friends Aprilia V twins I thought it was about time I had one of my own. So I am now the new owner of a 2007 Tuono which when running ( will save that for another post as I am currently in the process of performing electrical and mechanical surgery on it ) is an absolute blast and is without doubt one of the best bikes I have ever ridden. Have already fitted s/s rad cover (Still trying to undo the seized bolts to the fit oil cooler covers !!!:crazy) larger tinted screen, Delkevic s/s & carbon cans. Am awaiting crash bobbins. Will try and post some piccies now that I`ve worked out how it all works lol
Anyway best wishes and safe riding for 2016.:thumbup

Welcome to the forum. Lovely looking bikes

Hi and welcome to the fun world of Tuono's.
Great intro and bike selection.

Cheers fella`s and thanks for the welcome. Will no doubt be hoping to call on the the forum and members for some experience and insight at some stage :thumbup:cheers

Greetings & best wishes.
R1 looks class mate.
Is the bike on Map 2 with the different cans on? Does make a difference if not.

Hey up & welcome pal, :thumbup

Nice collection of bikes !!

I've also got an R1, 2006 5vy model.

Cheers `grin factor`,
have owned the R1 for about 9yrs. It`s taken a while but I`ve pretty much done all I can to it and even though I`m getting a bit old for sports bikes I just can`t bring myself to ever let it go. Have been down to Spain and the Pyrenees two or three times on it as well as Assen a few times and it ticks along quite nicely :thumbup
As for mapping on the tuono, I`ve not touched it. It seems to run fine (When it`s going) but I had a lot of trouble starting it recently. It was running OK when I put it to sleep in the garage but just would not start a couple of days later. I could hear the fuel pump prime, engine would turn over but wouldn`t fire. Up until then it had always started straight away. Anyway I put a new battery on it just in case but that made no difference either. Found the `pendulum` switch and checked that was OK along with the side stand and the kill switch. All of those were fine. I have now at last managed to get it fired up and I`m of the opinion that it`s electrical and there may be a pinched wire shorting somewhere. Everything is working as it should whilst upright in the garage. Am reluctant to put it back together properly until I have dug deeper. Gonna have the tank off and change the plugs as I`m halfway there already plus have a good look at the wiring around the headstock. Has anyone had anything similar ???? I let you know how I get on but I doubt it will be until the weekend.

Thanks `chris13`
looks like we have similar tastes :cheers

Good luck finding the problem. They can be a bit fickle, and do need a fully charged battery to crank them over. I used to keep mine on an optimate charger.

Welcome to the forum

Welcome and safe riding

Welcome, you will find this place and it's members the font of all Tuono knowledge

Many thanks for the welcome`s fella`s :thumbup much appreciated :cheers

Hi @grin factor,
following on from your comment about setting the bikes mapping to `Map2` is this something that has to be done at the dealer or is there an option within the settings menu ? Have got bike up and running again ( I have no idea what I did but it just works !!!! ) but it pops and bangs on the overrun or engine breaking which is fine but it then seems to have a bit of a `miss` or holds back and wants to stall unless I give it a big handful of throttle. It doesn`t do it every time but at least 50% of the time though. Was also considering it could be a coil breaking down or an HT lead ???? Gonna put the original cans back on and run it like that for a few days and see if the problem clears, if so then it sounds like a mapping issue ????
Regards
Steve.:thumbup
