Have just checked out the bits i got with the bike and counted the front sprocket thats in a bag and its a 15T so i have been fed false info, i was told the front sprocket had been changed so this looks not to be the case it must be on the 16T still so i am going to change this first thing tomorrow and see what like it is.
Cheers
Why would you do anything before you check or count the fitted front sprocket. Wire in ya fud. Go fanny about with your riding time, just use the bike and get it sorted when ever.

Just thought of a link between where you stay and your above post
Stay safe. Just Ride.
Aldo can i ask why you have felt the need to write up such a negative response? I have enjoyed posting so far on this forum but seeing your response puts an end to that so thanks!
Anyway let me try and make it clearer.
I bought the bike and was told by previous owner that the bike had been fitted with a 15T front sprocket and the old 16T was in the bag of bits i got with the bike. He had been told by his aprilia dealer where the bike was purchased that they had fitted the 15T.
So why would i question the guy??
Obviously they had been at it as the bike had the 16T still fitted! So when i was looking through box of bits i decided to count the teeth just for the craic on the spare sprocket just to see. This is when i found out that the spare was in fact the 15T and not the 16T as expected.
So bearing in mind i have never ridden a Tuono before, then how would i be able to tell the difference between one on a 15T or a 16T?
Why the hell would i have reason to doubt the word of a guy who had thought his dealer was being honest in saying they had fitted this 15T when they had done bugger all??
So does this make it any clearer behind the reason for not removing the cover and counting the teeth on the bikes sprocket?
Where is it that you are from Aldo? Let me guess from your response Glasgow??
