Do you have the fast idle lever on the left handlebar? If so take a really good look at the way the cable attaches to the throttle body. It can easily allow the idle speed to increase if not carefully set up.

Hi All

I have just found the same issue on my DB6.
I have ordered the MWR kit and it arrived a few days ago so i will fit it this weekend.

Thanks all for the advice. :

Winter's almost over here, so here's my update:

After the dealer was unable to get full access to the Pegaso ECU I decided to spend on a Power Commander. Today I got the chart (sorry, I am not able to include it here):
Original set-up plus MWR air filter: 85 hp and 86 nm at the wheel, and a very crappy curve.
PC plus MWR: 90 hp and 100 nm, and a very smooth curve.

The dealer also cleaned the starter from coal dust as starting the DB was more or less a question of coincidence. He also found a almost broken cable near the ignition lock.

Hopefully, I will get the bike this week. Then we'll see what it feels like on the road.

Cheers, Frank

Will do spike...Its a bloke that I trust and he certainly knows his bikes...having over 40 in total that he rides...he actually doesnt know how many as he has them in 3 separate locations...most of them are Italian bikes...I have his DB1 that he used to own...Waggy has his HB3 and I know someone who used to have his DB2FE....he's had lots of Bims but a very short attention span and is always swapping and moving on...he was going to do this with his DB5Mille until he power commandered it....and now reckons its his sweetest ride...well...for this week at least...Might take a week or so as he does do email...but not the forum or other internet "stuff" as he calls it...still uses an abacus instead of a calculator...and has a camera with film in it...you know the type....

Bloke who power commandered his DB5Mille says this.....I think you and me have the larger probe spare socket in the front and rear headers though unlike his bike that just has the small air test valve...so that part shouldnt be a problem


"the power commander was for a DS 1000 Multistrada – same engine. On the dyno, the big problem was getting an accurate exhaust gas reading. On the rear cylinder exhaust there is a bolt to undo and put the probe in. It is small, so the probe would not go far enough in to get an accurate reading, so we had to take the pipe off, enlarge the hole and tap it out to put a bigger bolt in. Dyno bike in N.Yorks did it, he is very good. I will take the dyno print out to work tomorrow and scan it for you, no scanner at home"
