The wireless one isn't listed on the quadlock motorcycle section, perhaps it isn't IP rated.
I'll have to plug in a short USB to phone lead.

Easy enough fix, I suppose

Any of the sparkies wish to advise what fuse rating I need?
I have a 7.5 in there at the moment.

Today I dyno'd the Tuono to check fuelling, it's running rich, and only just getting over 160 bhp.
Some work needed....

Also, the brake pad recall has been checked, it will get new pads under warranty. Lastly, the front tyre has been lose a little pressure every day- they will replace the wheel under warranty as there is some corrosion.
It was a year old in February........

It ain't a Honda.

Met with Wicky, went to Harwich and dropped into Jonesy's bakery for cakery. Good to meet up!
Busy day!

What are they supposed to make then ?, I thought 160 at the wheel was good for one of them, yes running rich means there's some improvements to be had but at least it should be smooth as it is. think they claim 175 at the crank so not bad at all what you have. what other mods are done to it ?.. my MT10 has 153 at the wheel, the latest Yamaha's (and triumph it seems) are much closer to their claimed figures when put on the dyno.

It has the full Akra system, race map and rsv4 air filter, so I was hoping for another 5 or so, tbh.
I'll see if there's a leaner map.

That looks ok, yes a bit rich at the top end (well from 8k up) but that's nice and safe, 7k rpm is very good and good power, rather than the 100% throttle run you've got there I'd like to see 20,40,60 % throttle runs to see what the fueling is doing there, it may not be rich at all. think about how you /we use the bikes and 100% throttle isn't often and usually quite brief (especially on an 1100cc superbike), your at much smaller throttle openings most of the time.. where it counts and you can feel the differences and benefits.

I liked being able to play with the fuelling on the SP2 on the pc, and could easily have dialled in some corrections if Aprilia allowed access.

Plenty of options out there to adjust the mapping. Also, as said, max HP at full throttle is little more than bragging rights in the real world. Integrate (in the mathematical way of speaking) the power curve and the Tuono has more power than the RSV4. It has more power up to just under 11k revs and the fact (due to different engine specs, different injectors etc...) the RSV4 ultimately makes more power is that it revs higher.

I very rarely use full throttle and then only briefly as I'm a pussy. And the anti-wheelie control, even at minimum setting, cuts full max power in at least the first 3 gears. More fun for the buck may be had by changing the wheels for lighter ones. I nearly scored a set of the original Oz forged wheels a while back but the seller was a plonker.

Colchester seem to be tossers. My Newcastle dealer sent me an email saying the pads were there whenever I wanted to come in. How hard can that be?
