Title: Agostini: How a V9 should sound
Post by: wittangamo on September 01, 2017, 03:27:27 PM: Liked everything about my Roamer except how it sounded. Agostinis brought out the baritone V-Twin rumble. Here's a before and after video.

The model number is AMV9spi, and you can get them from AF1 or order dirct from Agostini. Quality is great, price is steep.

Cheers for that.

Post by: wittangamo on September 01, 2017, 07:06:51 PM: Runs great, no popping on decel or other symptoms of fueling issues. Agostini says it's tuned for the stock setup as long as the DB killers stay in. I don't know that anyone has really done much map tuning on the V9 yet, and they're all still under warranty.

I know about wallet drainage, it hurts. But my rationale is the stuff I know I'm going to get eventually I might as well grab upfront and enjoy it from the get-go.

Of course! Though when I rode a Diavolo Nero Griso, I was more of an Omobono Tenni Guy.

This should give you a fair idea.

Post by: Adan on September 02, 2017, 02:59:51 PM: Based on that video, I slightly prefer the Agostini's over my mistrals, which give a nice rumble but lack that throatiness. Both have much more character than stock. Mistrals pop a bit on decel.

Post by: wittangamo on September 02, 2017, 03:16:41 PM: Adan, that was my experience, too. I had Mistrals on both my V7 and Griso. An improvement in sound over stock, but both had some popping.

I went with the Agostinis this time, despite the higher cost, because the new version looked better than the larger and longer reverse cones they had been selling. The factory rep I exchanged email with said they had been redesigned to match the V9 engine with stock mapping. So far so good!
