Thought I'd introduce myself! I'm Dean,
I'm on my 2nd RSV after a few years with a Kawasaki Er6n, a CBR600RR and an R1..... each time comparing them to my old 04 RSVR and just not being completely satisfied. So I'm back on the Aprilia! This time on a slightly newer 06 plate Factory!
First on...
Hi Peeps

28,000 miles
Fluoro Red with a satin black frame.
Carbon bits and pieces

Maxton fork internals
re-built Sachs rear shock

I'm riding a 2007 Tuono that is apparently the production re-release "2007.5".
Every time i accelerate after shifting into 2nd gear from 1st, i hear a rattle/knock on the left side of the engine. It doesn't rattle long. Usually about 3 clicks (metal on metal sound), "rat-a-tat-a" is about...
Slightly tentative on this one, but this will very likely up for sale by Saturday.
I bought it not long ago and it's a brilliant brilliant bike. But circumstances mean a potential road layoff for an unknown time period.
It's in mostly standard condition. 16,000 miles and FDSH on it. It has...
I have a left hand headlight that is in brand spanking new condition, with not a scratch on it £150 posted
gen1 original screen, it's been kicking around my workshop for quite a few years and is covered in dust, £15 posted
gen 1 extended rear mudguard, perfect for the all year...
Please point me to the right direction. My story:
- Couple of days ago my T didn't start and showed "ECU disconnect" error on the dash (I suspect bad battery caused it)
- With jumper cables on there is no errors and I can hear the fuel pump, but when I press the start button I hear the...
Following a stator rebuild and new battery, the Odometer reset to zero and is counting up again.
Just as annoying is that the trips count up from zero but reset to zero :rant every time the bike is turned off, rendering them almost useless.
Anybody got a fix or any idea why the odometer should...
Well, I got the T last year used with about 3k or so and the shift from 1st to 2nd has always been a bit sticky
I tried adjusting the shifter thingy but that didn't make a spit of a difference
its an 09 - so.... anyone have similar experiences, or dare I hope - a solution? :crazy
btw, I...
Hi all,
Havn't been on for a while since having to sell my RSV factory last year due to work, Anyway have just bought a very yellow Rsv-r which to be honest is just as quick as my factory was and was wondering if anyone knows if you can fit a later model factory top yoke to the early model...
Yeah, I know; dumb question, but...if you don't ask you don't get. So, if one of you wonderful people want's to part with their very rarely used Kriega 25 or 35, please PM me with a sensible asking price and location (just in case I get super lucky and you live just round the corner too!). Was...

Been out today for the first proper blast since i got the bike, ****** weather and ****** shifts at work preventing me from doing this sooner. The seat aint very comfortable is it, my arse was killing after about 40 miles. Fast cornering was showing the back end to be a bit wallowey, the...
An '05 RSVR - after waiting an extra 2 weeks (bread van ran into me 35yards from the dealer - broke the wife's ankle (she was on the back) & snapped the handlebar...gutted or what...). She's finally mine & sat in the garage, plugged into the optimate (the bike, not the wife...). It still needs...
