advice

So I'm new to V-twin and rode one for the first time today. Wow what a bike. Now I know they seem to sound knock and clunky. But it's bloody unnerving for someone with no knowledge of a good one and a bad one. The one I am possibly getting also judders/vibrates when you get on the throttle...

Hi Guys, I have an issue that is wrecking me out because I do not know what road to go down next to try to resolve the issue. I bought a 46k miles RSV Mille recently that had one owner from new. The bike runs A1 except for one very annoying / worrying problem. When the engine is under load, i...

09 tuono gen 2 I bought oil for the tuono from eBay without checking oil weights. They sent me castrol 10w40. Just checked the manual and it should be 15w50 Can this be used??:banghead Cheers in advance

Sorry if it's been asked before but which side stand is recommended, I see 2007 fire blade gets a good word but do any others cut it? Thanks in advance

I recently rode the new RSV4 RF and loved it. In an ideal world I would buy one. Unfortunately my wife hates bikes (hasn't forgiven me for starting to ride again). Swapping my fairly new existing bike for a much more expensive RF is going to be a hard sell. Options I see are: Wait a year for...

I recently purchased an '02 RSV R with 49,000 (yes, that's right!) miles on it. Suspension has been totally redone. Exhaust has been upgraded to an Akrapovic system. Bike has been adult riden and kept up perfectly. My question is, what can I expect from this bike in the near future as far as...

Hi, had my first day out ever on my 2000 RSV Mille track bike at Snetterton yesterday. Overall I'm very happy but I have a problem with the rear. The bike has a 2001 swing arm, ohlins rear and a 520 chain conversion, this is how I bought it. I've had the suspension serviced and resprung for my...

Hi guys. Riding home from work today, and suddenly service appears on my dash and red service light comes on. The spanner has been on for a a couple of hundred miles, but only done 2k since I bought her (second hand) and it was serviced when I bought it but shop obviously didn't reset the...

Ok so I ordered and received a chip from drrossi (many thanks) for my falco. When opening the ecu to change the chip it already appears to have an aftermarket chip. It's marked up Sport 845. I've done a quick google searches but can only find a couple of results which are saying that this is a...

Hi Guys I'm having the well posted problems of non starting with my 2007 Tuono Factory. I've read up on lots of posts and it's looking like it's possibly the starter solenoid that's the problem but I want to do some electrical testing to establish this. The can bus electronics on this bike scare...

Hi all, new to the forum so go easy with me please. Bought my first RSV Mille as a christmas present and only recently had the joy of riding the beast but im after a little advice please. It has a SP titanium exhaust system fitted and chip that came with it and every now and again it makes a...

I bought a GPR slip on exhaust for my 2014 Tuono..GPR tech says flapper valve should be disconnected and a new map installed..My Aprilia dealership says NO. They say if is it just a slip on there is no need to re-map..Not sure what to do?

I am a motorcyclist, lifetime (since I was 12 and am 67 now!). I currently have a KTM 525, set up as an adventure touring bike (6 1/2 gal tank etc), my other bike is a 250hp naked turbo Hayabusa. I've owned over 75 bikes, I know that sounds crazy but it's true. Now here's why I joined this...

Hi to all, Just joined the forum and I'm sure I'll get to know y'all. I am going to view a 2003 Tuono 1000 on Saturday. I was hoping some of you experienced owners could share the wisdom that has come with ownership and highlight anything in particular I should look out for? Any advice...

I have been for a test on the new v4 and was blown away. Just bloody awsome. I have a black 1000r 6400 miles 2 previous owners. Standard bike bar akraprovic cans race map and k&n filter, he has offered me £5400 so £6599 to change. What are your thoughts, hold out for more or go for it.

Yesterday the factory left me stranded 20 miles from home, the little blade at the tip of the key snapped off as I took the key out? £125 on recovery and 4hrs later I was finally home. I even asked the missus to bring me the spare key out to me only to find it was also missing the blade part, I...
