I have been having a lot of problems getting my bike to run at low revs since fitting silmotor pipes and eprom. I checked the CO-it was a little rich[5.6%] adjusted it down to 4%,this made no difference. Fitted the original chip-bike now seems to be better at the bottom and much the same at the top! So i wonder if i have a dodgy eprom or perhaps the wrong eprom. Anyone out there had any problems with aftermarket pipes?

Ian,

I have the same pipes as you, I think, I got them from Carrera in Haywards Heath, I think it's the same one that Casoli sells.

I had 3 different chips for my bike, the last one was developed specially for Carrera by a company that does chips for F1 car engines.

Not sure how you get one of these but you could talk to Dave at Powerhouse in Kent as I believe he can supply chips for these pipes.

I had the silmotor pipes installed for ...one day. The neighbourhood and the police found they were too noisy. I had the original eprom installed which gave irregular functioning at low revs but a good powercurve
