Fire, noise and suspenders look!

Fire, noise and suspenders look! The MV Agusta F3 from Micron Systems turned out to be a Molotov cocktail that lit up properly at our annual tuner event.

W.uuuuuh … bang! Wuuuuu … bang! Braabaabaa … The little three-cylinder screams heartbreakingly over the Hockenheimring. His message spreads like fire accelerators in the paddock. The sonorous concert of power, which sounds like a mixture of joy and agony, turns the Baden race track into a theater of war for a moment. The visitors rush to the start-finish straight and stick to the demarcation grid like chewing gum. Everyone is waiting for the triplet to thunder over the line again and make the eardrums tremble – just like the nerves of the race management, who unceremoniously draws the black flag and pulls the F3 out of traffic.

MV Agusta F3 from Micron Systems
Fire, noise and suspenders look!

A feast for the eyes: full carbon fairing from Micron Systems, bare sprocket, 520 gold chain and sprocket from Enuma.

The atmosphere was already explosive during the construction phase of the new MV Agusta F3 in spring 2012. What happened to the traditional tuner is what happens to all men in the world every now and then: He fell for the external stimuli of a woman, more precisely those of the F3. After many sleepless nights in the workshop, he was still asking himself the same question: What the hell does the little Italian want from me? But who could have guessed that MV Agusta would give the new F3 a highly complex car control unit – a system that had not previously been built into any motorcycle in the world? That there are two injection rails that are not activated in parallel as usual, but one after the other. So one at low speeds, the other at high speeds. And because that’s at least twice as complicated as it sounds, you can’t just plug in a power commander and Simsalabim … the carrot is ready.

Puff cake! First an interpreter is needed to translate the gibberish from the control unit into the language of the Power Commander. But Mottier did not give up, first checked the completely dampened chassis and had it softened by the specialist Zupin. In combination with Michelin slicks and a diet of 177 kilos, it is one of the handiest bikes in tuner GP history. The 675 bends in a flash, is precisely on course and stays on track even when anchoring hard.

Up to 10500 rpm, the tuned F3 is still at the standard level in terms of performance, above that it turns much more pleasurably towards the limiter. Thanks to the missing cat box and open racing muffler, it knocks a few more horsepower onto the asphalt.

In terms of top performance, the F3 feels close to a GSX-R 750. Thanks to the open Scorpion Race silencer, the three-cylinder screwed into the speed sky completely uninhibited and even tickled out a few additional horsepower. Due to the technical problems described, the hard response and the lack of performance in the low speed range could not be completely eliminated. But after another six months of development, the tuner promises: “We were now able to fatten the F3 properly below. It finally accelerates cleanly, pushes noticeably better out of the lower rev range and revs up more homogeneously. The jerking with constant throttle position is also history. ”The same applies to the retrofitted“ Gripone Pro 2 ”traction control, which already proved itself as a watchdog for breaking rear wheels on the Yamaha YZF-R1 introduced last year. The electronic restraint can be loosened or tightened via a stepless rotary control – a great system, especially for beginners, because the interventions are noticeable and build trust in the electronic assistant.

Armand Mottier was the first tuner to venture into the F3. For this, the PS team gives a lot of courage points. We owe it to him that the little MV Agusta actually became the hottest new release in 2012.
