Evening guys n gals,

The name's Andi and I'm picking up an '03 Tuono on Saturday!!! Really lookin forward to it!! I have a 2000 model Mille and have been on RSVzone for a few years and just love the motors!!!

Really just on to ask if there are any "niggles" associated with the tuono that i should know about?? I've pretty much sussed the "foibles" with the Mille (14ah battery, starter solenoid, ALWAYS on optimate, non existent back brake, constant bleeding of the clutch to keep up to scratch!, 0.40 clutch jet and MPL slave, 16/44 gearing, Renegade airbox, PC111 usb-custom map- and a lovely aftermarket exhaust-Devil on the Mille but the Tuono has an Aprilia Ti racing item on it at the moment!!!!!). but is there anything else i should be looking at for the Tuono (like a Honda cbr1000rr sidestand!!!!)

Cheers guys.......................:thumbup
 
Hi Andi and welcome.

Sounds like you've got it sussed there mate. I am sure some the other Gen1 T owners will point out any other considerations for you.

Good luck with the purchase, and have fun.:doug
 
Chunky and I have the same fast colour Newono. Methinks Nob has an older model and despite creeping senility, incipient frontal lobe damage from to much ETOH, and altogether to much hi-speed hi-jinx, he may have some words of wisdom for you. Try to catch him in the morning before he starts in on the meth...

Welcome Andi,

I have an '04 T and I've got all of the kit you've got (except I have an Arrow can). As said above, you've got it covered.

Possibly the sidestand but one point I would make - get Griff to 'tweak' it for you. I did and it's supersmooth now.
