)I was sorely tempted when the bike was at Griffs, I didn't but should have. Needed a chain and sprockets instead.
But they will appear at some point this year. He bled the life out of the back brake when it was in for a service,
so it works a treat at the moment.

Bugger just bled me rear brake again by the way that always worked before, remove rear calipar, hold it high up with nipple at top and sook oot with great big syringe. Its improved but still crap, so maybe time for the rear sets. Does this cure the problem for good? a rear brake that works when u want it too would be nice.

Usually at the top of the apple tree.
A wee foot note wae the rear BREAKS, oh Donald Where's Yer Trooousers.
ma mucker Dot wae a streetfechter reckons his rear stopper is much the same and after a deek at it I'd agree.
Any hoo he jist keeps using it and it does start to work affter a while.
Any Fud on here given that a go ???

No expert but there are reccomendations for Aprilia Performance rearsets. Have ordered a set myself. Much better value for money that the alternatives I have seen. black £250 Polished Alloy £265 Custom made to their spec. I think there's old heads on this forum that would reccomend. Isn't that why we're here. to pick on ohers experience ???

Do the sprockets & anything else you can yourself. me like a mug thought yeah do this do that do it all when I get my bike serviced, might as well yeah yeah. Then Ohhh thats about two hours at £60.00 an hour, lets call it £120.00 thank you very much. Fitting a load of this stuff yourself isn't that difficult so don't be a mug & farm out jobs you can do yourself.

Lots o folk say they never use the rear brake at all, fine for them the Tuono is perfect. I dont use it lots but its nice for a wee bit o trail braking when going a wee bit too fast into corner, the front can be to harsh for this. So when it works for a couple o months its great, but suddenly when it dont work and u expect it to, can be a wee brown adrenaline moment when right foot goes right down and no slow down, Aprilia should do the decent thing and supply rear sets free to everybody lol

Speaking for my bike, the rear brake was useless from delivery. I fitted a set of Griff's rearsets, and it has worked fine since.
Liz's Tuono rear brake worked fine from new, but went west in Spain this year in the heat of the plains....... watch this space.
Installing the AP rearsets isn't a difficult task, as long as you can bleed a brake it isn't beyond most people.
