Hi all,

Looking forward to being a member of this forum & getting all the advice as required as I collect my first Aprilia tomorrow, albeit a second hand 2000 RSV1000 Mille.
I have ridden many bikes over the years but my first foray into the Aprilia realm.
As a first question, what oil & filter do you recommend for this baby as it is the first thing I intend to do when I get her. The service history is a little vague, but my aim is to do a progressive maintenance program to ensure I get everything attended to in order of importance.
Look forward to the comments.

I also have a Y2K RSV .....The recomended is 15/50 but you can also use 10/40 , do you ride all year round or just in the summer months ?, if summer I would stick with 15/50.

Any of the well known brands should br okay, Motul, Silkolene etc (dont go budget), Filter would be an HF152 (not sure what that equates to in Aus).

Also check when the throttle bodies were last balanced, makes a big difference.
