Folloiwng threads on this forum to MANIAC MOTORS http://www.maniacmotors.de/motomorini/ for exhausts, crash bungs & add-on screen I took the oportunity whilst on a business trip earlier this week in Nurenburg to visit their shop. They have a small unit amongst other automotive specialists in what was Germany largest gas oven manufacturer (no bad jokes intended) in the 1930's aproximately 5 min away from the airport.
They specialise in BENELI, MV & MORINI having sold 24 CORSARO's in the last year! The mechanic speaks perfect ienglish and spent 7 years at Ducati in Italy. They were verry to happy let me into their workshops and talk Morini's about which they were extreemly positive and knowlegable. Their wall was covered in emails from ocustomers as far as Spain who ride their bikes over to be worked on.
MANIAC seem to specialise in fitting and setting up bikes for extra performance with 3 CORSARO's in the shop having QD (no cat) downpipes and a choise of 3 end pipes (see their web page). They then fit a power comander3 and re-map the origional ECU. MANIAC say that the "race" ECU fom MORIN is locked and so pigy-back the Power comander. Their reccomendation is not to just chane the end cams as the downpipe/CAT and map change makes the larges improvements and they would expect to see c.a. 140bhp at the rear wheel if the whole system is changed.
I also noticed one CORSARO fitted with a "quickshift" linked to to the power comander to allow up-shifts on full throttle without clutch! - verry brave.
I treated myself to a set of crash-bungs (150Euro) which came with all fixings etc.. NOTE in Germay VAT is 19% but if you buy fro the UK through a company this is deducted.
I will email MANIAC for a cost breakdown to fit a full exhaust system with powercomander and dyno, and put the reply on this thread for those interested - they need 2-3 days on the bike to do this ... nice short break to germany at the end of the year if funds permit.
