Tuning at Moto Rapido?

03-08-2009, 01:22 PM

Has anyone had their bike set up/tuned at Moto Rapido? I'm in pain after having installed a Quat-D cat eliminator on my 2006 S2R 800 (stock pipes, stock ECU, stock air filter) and a couple of people have had a go at sorting it out. While to start off with it felt a bit slower under 5K rpm with a surge above that, it now feels like it is struggling through the rev range with a very small surge at 5-6K.

Spoke to MR today and they reckon they can sort it out using the stock ECU (and maybe a performance air filter) as I can't afford to chuck a lot of money at this right now.

Do they have a good reputation for tuning Monsters? Tried Sigma Performance but they have sold their Ducati section to WM Snells (called there and got a sales person on the phone...technician is away this week).

I hope he's not

- AK went to work there as usual this morning!!
Phone back & speak to Tom in the shop, however - Snells dont have a dyno, but MR do - which are invaluable for the n'th degree in set up

HAHAHAHAHA!!! That's awesome...the sales person I spoke to got a little bit confused when I started asking technical questions. I assume this was his way of buying some time!

Take it back...apparently Paul deals with my particular brand of issue and he is out this week!

Just spoken on the phone - they are 'covering' for the workshop as Paul is off - and AK's got a full load this week in there & there is no time for him to communicate on the phone to customers ........seems its sedici world in there this week!

edited to add: They are quoting at least 4 weeks for workshop at the moment, just like most of the other busy reputable ones.
