Clic Clip Pliars

peps · Nov 5, 2011

Does anyone know where i can by the tool needed to remove and replace the nasty hose clips on my Tuono R? The genuine Aprilia ones are over a Â£100 but i have seen similar on EBay for Â£12-Â£20 but i dont know which ones i need.
Any help appreciated.

Cheers Peps (new to forum)

The set I have came from the Snap -on -man. I would have thought any good motor factors should have them. Forget halfords and the like, would'nt have a clue

hae a lookie on here...ah did a thread oan swappin oot the clips for proper screw Jubilless a while back. U can remove the clic ones by stickin a large flat blade screw driver in the wee join bit and twistin it. They undo really easily.

Yep, you need 8mm stainless clips...those clip on ones are prone to leaking, also istr that Aprilia recommend replacement every time they are opened...

I had a nightmare finding these clips so hope this helps someone!
Loads of places advertising them on old web pages but when you get in touch don't actually have any and say the company making them has gone out of business. The good news is that I finally found someone else making them but under a different name - EzyClik-M. Managed to get some and they are not quite the same but close enough to not really notice the difference and to work with Clic clip pliers. Quality is just as good as the originals and they look miles better than worm drives or those giant spring things!

Replace clic clips every time?

Just noticed someone says they should be replaced every time? What rubbish, we've used them over and over again at Phase One Endurance, won 3 world endurance championships with them fitted and never had one fail. Obviously that's the original Clic Clips, but looking at the quality I'd say that the EzyClik-Ms will be no worse and we've already started using them.
