Now for the sorting of the thing.
First thing: Rev counter does not work. If I buy a new dash, what is involved in mating it up to my bike? What are the codes for? The dash currently tells me to remember to set the codes, not sure what that means. The manual is not clear on this. Are these codes for Aprilia dealers to prevent fiddeling with the ECU, or is it some security measure? Am I better off trying to have the tachometer fixed by an automotive dash repair shop? Or by a new replacement?
Second thing: When riding the bike, and rolling on the throttle in any gear, the thrust seems to diminish slightly after about half the throttle travel has been rolled on. In other words, full throttle seems to yield less power than about half or two thirds throttle. This occurs with the stock exhaust pipes fitted as well as with a set of JISU aftermarket pipes. My limited understanding of fuel injection would point to the mapping beeing to rich near the full/max throttle position. So how could i fix this issue, and/or access the fuel injection maps?
To further know where i stand on the somewhat underwhelming power output, please chime in on what I should be expecting from a stock geared Tuono with 11k miles. I was expecting wild power-wheelies in the first 3 gears. At the moment, all I'm getting is a slight rise of the front wheel in 2nd gear after chopping and whacking the throttle back on in the meat of the powerband. :banghead Am I just spoiled by my old Fazer 1000 in terms of power and acceleration??? Btw, the fazer would wheelie nicely through 2nd gear when clutched up, never managed a roll on lift unless in 1st.
Please help me figure this bike out so I can enjoy it to the fullest. Thanks!
