Finally an easy on the eyes paint job. Maybe a white F4 on the tail sides ( like the original F-4 750 had) , perhaps a slightly larger MV AGUSTA insignia ) If I may say so . Nice !!!
I think your right about the mirrors, would look very striking, but I think I would also like to see some of the MV Decals also, the right one's wouldn't make it too cluttered imho of course!
:naughty::naughty::naughty:Ur right, Dr Duc, it´s for sale but at that price I´m not expecting any buyers...I´m praying they don´t show up, anyway, cause I spent 6 months thinking how to get to that final paint job, and now that it´s done (took 3 months to have it finally done) it would brake my heart to see it going. So....it´s probably staying with its daddy for the years to come.
about the mirrors...I found the solution for their colour - I took them off :naughty:
Hi Nicolino.
About the decals, I´m still working on how to make the best out of it. The one you see is a temporary one. Your ideas are good, and I´ll be using the new F4 logo for the 2010 MV´s.
Hi Donsy
Saw your races in July 2010 - awsome!! Loved to see u ahead of all the japs! Hope u still have a go on racing with the MV.
Thanks for ur feedback on the bike. I´d like to ask u if u think I could take down the temperatures on my engine by using the SamcoSport Silicone hoses - they advertise it can cool down up to 5ºC, and as I leave in the south of Portugal, my MV is constantly reaching 100º and more in the summer - do you know anything about those hoses?
Thanks
Ed
Not sure about those hoses mate, or what bike they used to test them on to get to that result, but they made no difference on my bike, or the guys around me in pitlane, they look nice and are probably more reliable.
As you know the F4's run very hot, the best fix is to get the Ignition and Fueling sorted, then install Design Corse waterpump, make sure you use good coolant and no air-pockets in the system.
A cheap and quick aid is to add a manual fan switch, so you can turn the fan's on a bit sooner.
Max,
if you see the MV´s in olx for sale, you realize that mine is the worst deal ehehe - there´s one almost new, a year younger, less than half the km´s, for 9.200€! why do I even bother put mine there? you may wonder...because I´m short of money, being hard for me to keep it.
But the heart is stronger than the mind - therefore, I´selling it...but I´m not selling it...got it?
By the way, this is the bike that´s been giving me more problems than any other I had in my life! - 2 major opened engine repairs, radiator problems, and over heating all the time - can´t go through a city without having my eyes stuck on the temperature gauge! But somehow, I´m still totally in love with it, and more and more every day - I´m always giving her a 2nd chance.
The over heating is mainly because I leave in Portugal, where in the Summer temperature average 30º-35C for months in a row.
And thanks everyone for your support!!! Made me realize even more the jewel I have in my hands.
Special thanks to the Red Baron (I like that nick name!) :wave:
Keep riding
I can assure you that I only saw that Bimota DB2 after you made the comment, Kaapu, but come on! They are far from being similar, isn´t it? The DB2 can keep dreaming ahaha!
Max, First of all congrats for your new baby. It´s a pearl!
As I have the full RG3 titanium exhaust system and an ECU, I can tell you by my experience that the ECU gives you a big (better) difference in the throttle response - much smoother - which tends to be too harsh in the MV´s. Concerning the pipes, I tried mine with the original mid pipes together with the RG3 mufflers, and it worked really well, more compression in the lower revs, but still reaching 318kms/h in a blink of an eye, same as with the full Ti mounted without catalyser (yeah, our portuguese highways, in the areas you know, allows us those speeds with no problem at all). With Arrow stock ones the full speed is a bit lower, but gives you a better womp in the first gears, but the sound is too quiet for me (loud pipes save lives, remember?), even considering that after 260-280 km/h we can hardly hear anything, even with the loud pipes, isn´t it?
Just for you to think about this info, to help you decide what to get for ur babe. But the ECU makes a much better throttle response.
Ed
Thx Ed. I am already looking for some RG3's and intend to remove the cat. After that I first want to see how it runs on the dyno and what mods needs to be made. But for sure it will need some more sound, as my previous MV already the RG3 :f4:
Hey Donsy
Thanks for the tips. Had already heard about getting that manual fan switch. I will surely do that! Also will check fuelling and ignition with the mechanic.
Thanks a million, buddy !
