BAMF Engine Rockin!


Got the BAMF back from Andy at Southern Cross. It was waaaay down on power on the Isle of Man following the rebuild. Back in 2005 she was giving us 130 bhp at the wheel.

Andy is the Aprilia RSV guru. He fitted the big throttle bodies and sorted the fuelling. He did loads of dyno work, experimenting with different airbox configurations and velocity-stack lengths. He built a custom airbox in the end.

The final tune is the blue line (short stacks).


Look at that torque!

Not as much power gains as I'd hoped for, but the dyno is probably calibrated a bit different to what it was 5 years ago.

She should now be good for 180 mph down Sulby Straight... I can't wait!
