Not far from you!
how to fit jet!
HOW TOO FIT JET!
Remove that bolt and the jet is underneath. (you don't have to drain the oil, but a few tablespoons will drain out anyways) Use as big a screwdriver as you can get into the slot of the jet since you don't want to damage the soft brass when un-threading it. Grab the old one with tweezers or something and take it out.
Install the new one and only make it as tight as needed to keep it from un-screwing itself. It's not like the jet is holding anything together, so almost no torque is required. Install the bolt again and torque it to 100 in-lbs. Go ride and make sure it doesn't leak!
The #40 jet (that you just installed) has a larger hole than the #60 that the engine came with. Since more oil is being allowed onto the clutch pack it will lubricate the plates more and erase some little problems (like not being able to find neutral and having the bike creep forward while in gear with the clutch in).
Please keep in mind that a badly-bled clutch master cylinder will cause the same problems, so check that first (since it's free).

hi mate
Initially they were .75 and went to .60 in late 2000 and in 2006 to .40 . As far as i know mate the .40 jet will fit.

.40 fits all years - Smaller hole so less oil in clutch pack. It was too much oil causing the drag.
Liken it to wading in a foot of water and then 2 ft water. 2ft harder because fluid adds drag.

tell me about it andy! Im actually gonna order 2, one for me and one for my mate at work.
I called my local aprilia dealer and asked if they stock it which they dont, he did say he would order it in for me but i would have to pay for the postage :rant Mind you it was only about £3 and i guess if thats split between 2 of you its not bad
irate bet it costs about £1 for them to send it :jack

Phone Nick at rsvr.net and tell him i sent you cos they are so quick. He will have to live up to it then
If Aprilia have it in the Uk or the france deppo chances are you will have it in about 3 days from ordering. Nick will tell you up to a week but it always quicker if it's in stock at Aprilia.
They won't charge you the earth to send it either. My last order was about £2.65 postage.
