Received my filter some weeks ago and was very impressed not only by the quality of the kit, but also it was well packaged. Finally fitted it and took the bike for it's MOT today, only a short ride, but the engine was running so much sweeter with the air kit and at long last feels as nice as my Ducati did - that also had a modified air box.
Sadly it failed the MOT due to a leaky fork seal, but that's my fault for letting such a great bike sit for 6 months - I'm told it's a lack of use that effects the Ohlins seals. Will be getting it sorted this week and look forward to more induction roar next week!
Buy this kit with confidence :doug.
Many, many thanks, Gareth

Mine also fitted, peice of cake! Sounds great!
Hi!
Read the message before comment the pics, some parts of the kit are missing at the pictures.
Having a bit of problem fitting the carbon board on my Mille.
The board dont lay 100% against the trottle-house..
If you take a look at the pictures, picture 2 is showing a "space" between the trottle-house and the carbon-board. On this picture the two sealings to the two "houses" are missing, so the space shows mutch more then usually.
The problem is, that the little hole rare on the board, thats suppose to lay against the trottlebody dont do it, and there is a space.
The screws are not tight and the sealings are missing at the picture, its just shows the problem bigger. I have marked the space I am talking about with blue.
What is this little hole in the airbox doing btw? And how have the rest of you all solve this problem?
Edit: Its kinda hard to see on the pictures but the reason why I cant just tighten the cruws and get the board against the trottlebody is becuse the TPS is in the way. The "bubble" in the board that should go over the TPS is to low.

I had to trim down the trumpets on mine as they projected below the "carbon board" too far.
In fact I cut them off flush , it wont hurt the performance any and it allows the "board" to sit properly i.e : flat on the throttle body housing.
The little hole is a drain hole - my guess.

Aha ok!
But you cant remove the space totaly i think, becuse the sealings are still there between, or how do you mean? If you look at the board installed exacly from the side, dont you see a small space between the throttle-body and the board then?
The hole goes down in the throttles it looks like, but I am not sure about that. When I toke a closer look to the original air-box its looks like the plastic go down exacly by this hole, so there dont become any space.. will look more at this tomorrow.

Aha, sound good! :biggrin
I think I have to cut some from the trumpets then.
What i was thinking of was the "sealing-place" of the original air-box, if it have "cuts" for the sealings so the box sits flat or its only press the sealings in the throttle-body "cuts" and the plastic is formed to press down round this hole. Meant as a question if the original have this gap and formed plastic for that hole or just flat bottom, its looked formed i thought but mayby not then. Dont have my bike here so cant just look.
And then a small question more, what are the "cuts" in those trumpets bottom made for?

==========================================================
What have wee here then.:dunno
The cuts in the bottom of the velocity stack are for only to help locate the stacks in the throttle bodies .It allows a small amount of Torrence when fitting ie movement ( Aftermarket stacks have no cuts ).
However im confused. What year and model ,ive gone to vast lengths to get this write. The only anomaly with the generation 1 is the 2003 model with 57mm throttle bodies, ( Edwards rep ) with this i have made a special which i need to know up front as the velocity stacks holes need to be bigger and the plate needs to be thicker across the bodies ie 7.5mm.This was a problem sorted along time ago.Since then no one had had any problems fitting the filter plate.I am going to resend you fitting instructions mate :thumbup

Just wondering, do you keep the o-rings that are fitted on the trumpets? If so where do they locate on the new board as on the old airbox there is a recess for them to sit in, but not on the new one,

Also, just nmeasured the holes in the plate and on the airbox that the trumpets locate in, on the standard airbox they are 58.5/59mm, with the c/bore on the underside (that the o-rings locate in) being being 64.5mm, but on the new plate the holes are about 60.25mm, therefore the there is a massive gap between the trumpets and the plate, and also no-where for the orings to go. Would be grateful for a bit of advice as I'm probably just doing it wrong!
Thanks again
Thanks again
Check this today with this result:
It dossent matter if you trim some mm of the trumpets, there is still no where for the o-rings to go, the situation is the same. :O
Aprilia RSV Mille R -00
In the instuctions there is nothing about this "problem". :dunno
This is just the problem I am having! There is no where for the o-rings to go.
The holes for the trumpets are also wrong on my board, and the small holes for the screws thats holding the trumpets was drilled some mm wrong. :bawling
Edit: There is space in the original air-box in the bottom to the two big o-rings, but not on this kit.

The o'rings are no longer used. Put them to one side the plate fits direct onto the throttle bodies,
Hope this clears this up
There's no mention in the instructions to refit the o-rings :confused
