The important thing to note is that they also tuned the ECU to take care of the fueling changes that occur when this much work is done to the bike.
In essence, what you have seen on this video, is a custom intake that is much more free flowing feeding air into a tuned ECU blasting power out a free flowing exhaust.
And I did the same to my 1090RR Brutale with modifying the airbox and installing Arrow header plus mapping it.
Had 180 hp in my old Brutale - unfortunately I lost her on the track :frown2:.
But it is remarkable how much the MWR outperforms other intake systems.
I'll get it and see how it works.
Engine runs as it did before, no stalling, hesitating or anything like this that could indicate lean fueling.
Cannot tell a difference in power as I installed them just after breaking in the engine.
Of course the sound of the airbox is even more aggressive - I love it >.
When i get on the throttle or downshift by Blipper in front of a crowd - they will turn their heads :laugh:.
Will test it in the Italian Alps both next weeks and come back to it here again.

I do not know how is the tank assembly of a Rivale, sorry.
On my Brutale it took me less than an hour. The only tricky thing is the tank hose fitting.
MWR recommends cleaning the filter once a year. But you have access to it from outside, just get the radiator fairings off. No need to remove the tank for cleaning.
I presume you didn't buy this part? It apparently opens up the surface area of the airbox inlet, flowing more air I presume. For an extra £50 I think it's probably worth getting for optimum gains.
Curious what that somewhat oddly shaped (air runner?) velocity stack actually does to the MV triple performance in use.
Forward/Reparto Corse reportedly uses three of the longer OEM stacks inside the MV F3 WSS airbox.
Rule of thumb is shorter stacks are supposed to move the peak power upward, and longer stacks to move the peak lower in the rev range but the actual lengths generally require calculation to determine what length should be used and then testing & tuning to verify if the best compromise is reached.
According to them this filter, along with the spring kit, larger intake openings and a longer middle velocity stack gives the best performance - better than the dual filter kit. It’s more expensive as a whole, but worth doing apparently. Should work well in conjunction with the remap.
Their F3 is running 147BHP with this setup; obviously I’m not expecting this with the lower power Stradale engine, but will hopefully still get some good gains!
Just going through the process of installing the MWR filter, spring kit and power up kit.
Anybody think the power up kit is a rather expensive way of just making the existing airbox intake opening look nice now that the smaller funnels have been removed?
I can't see what purpose the CNC plates serve as the opening is the same size anyway.
Thoughts? Do they help to flow more air??
Going to have to be careful when washing the bike now so I don't fire water into the airbox!
Thanks for clarifying, that could be a sensible option. Remap isn't until the 7th so I still have time to sort it.
Considering I'm going to have to spend another 4 hours (slow, I know!) to undo all that work, I'm hoping they might throw in the stacks gratis! One can only hope...
Can i ask where did you order this velocity stack and does it make a huge difference ?
