Hi, I bought an RSV4 (2010) model earlier this year, it's beautiful and has really restored my love of bikes after a few stale years on a gsxr.
Even planning to get back on track with it.
But - It has randomly cut out on 3 occasions for no reason what so ever, had it back into my dealer who has been great and replaced a demand sensor which there is apparently a known fault/recall on, subsequently I have had a trawl round the web and discovered there's actually quite a lot of faults & random problems, but no definitive list (that I could find)
There's been engine /rod problems, gearbox/clutch problems, random electrical charging /battery problems and the demand sensor.
So is there a list of recalls and will they be honoured after the 2 year warranty period? As mines just out of warranty now it's kind of niggling me & I sometimes wonder, as good as aprilia seem to be, that if there are some faults that have been allowed to maybe play out & see if they come back ?
I don't want to sound cynical but (not aprilia) some manufacturers have been know to do this in the past, my car (BMW) has had suspension problems twice which is a know fault (rear coil spring) and they just replace it with the same crap part until it goes past warranty then adios ! 3rd set or springs in 30k miles !
I am going to have a chat with my dealership about it & possible extended warranty options but welcome any thoughts
Cheers
