frustrating only had the bike 2 weeks !! i picked the bike up from inverness, rode it home 400 miles, no problem. first time breakdown after putting 600mile on the bike . engine cutting out stop starting, i put it down to near running the tank empty and blocked fuel filter, the bike seemed starved of fuel, just about limped home on it. so new fuel filter fitted took the bike out, ive done a couple of 30 mile trips all good. right out today on the motorway same problem! off the motorway same again bike wont rev properly, limped home again. after much cursing and calling our italian friends parked up and walked away. right couple of hours later when calmed down, try again, bike starts up perfect, which it always has, even when it was running rough, out on bike running fine again, any ideas, its not a good start, the bikes great but wearing me down fast :(
 
Hi Floyd , a disappointing and frustrating start to your Tuono ownership . a 400 mile trip without a hitch and then probs after running short of fuel suggests that it is a fuel/fuel system problem .

It would be worth having a word with Griff at Aprilia Performance in Tamworth . 01827 285500.
 
Oil pressure switch?
Oil gets hot, loses viscosity, bike goes into limp mode.
Oil cools down, gains viscosity, runs ok.
 
thanks for the input, ive been away at a rally, just got home. i will try griff tommorow. i want to get it sorted and enjoy the bike.
 
just spoke to griff, because nothings coming up on the dash hes sugested it could be something simple like a bad battery conection, start with the simple things. the conections on the battery are tight, soon as i get time im gonna give all the wire connectors a spray. any other input gratefully recieved thanks again
 
Don't forget there two ends to a cable! Make sure the frame earth is well seated as there was a problem there where the stud was not threaded enough and req a washer ( this is the earth from neg battery cable)???
 
the 2nd generation had a recall on the fuel pump hose for some defect, if you give the Vin # to a dealer they should be able to tell you if it was fixed, and if not will do so for free
 
well gave all the block connectors a spray, one of the breather pipes wasnt a good fit, sorted that. up to now its sorted:) ive done about 60mile no problems, :) thanks for the info hope its sorted coz its a great bike :) allways got the yam just in case :)tuono fazer 2015 011.jpg
 
just a update the bukes running right now, the fuel filter being blocked i think caused the problem at first, ive no idea what caused it to fail after that onless it was the breather pipes? anyway bikes right now ive gone 15/42 with the sprockets, new chain and its even better. well heres hoping no more problems :)
 
good to hear you've got your probs sorted . get out and explore your new gearing benefits while the sun is shining , or not as the case mebbee.:thumbup
