I have a 52 plate Tuono Only noticed the other day that the rear shock is a sachs? Is this standard? I thought they were Boge? I do know that the bike was a cat C right off when I bought it so may have had some mods done. Secondly, side stands. I have had it fall over twice due to a flat...

Hello, been lurking here for a little while, but just picked up my new 2003 Tuoldo in grey/gold on Saturday. Came from a 2003 Triumph TT600 and what a revelation, I absolutely love the twin, so much comfier and all that grunt! :thumbup I'm based in Oxford, but picked the bike up from 3...

Hey everyone. I'm new to Aprilia ownership. Just got a 07 RSVR Factory and have an issue with the rear brake not working. Have done a little research and I think it's probably a bleeding issue. Everything seems to be in order as far as the caliper and lines being intact, so other than bleeding...

I've spent most of today swapping the dented arm from my RSVR for one I bought from here. After spending ages cleaning all the caked sh1te from around the front sprocket area, then splitting the chain and wrestling with one of the rear downpipe nuts, the arm dropped free. However, it was then...

Hey all - just saying Hi. Some of you will probably recognize the s/n from TLZone...yup, same guy. Now the owner of a new-to-me 2007 RSVR which I bought to possibly replace my Suzuki TL1000R. I haven't really ridden it much; just 25miles tonight bringing it home (that would be 40km for the...

Was there the first week of May. Love the place, my 7th week there.

The bike went in for its first service last week. mentioned the problem with selecting first gear and they contacted Aprilia. Their answer is that it should free up at about 2000 miles & that is when they will investigate. The other point I want to address is, I have not6iced that the engine is...

was just browsing the phone and spotted this picture I took, and it very well looks like it might have been the last proper ride out of 2008. We just finished a long set of twistys and we got to this corner shop (our usual pit stop) and ofcourse who got there first? :devious nothing can touch...

Alright guys i was on a ride yesterday and got a warning sign pop up on my dash, any ideas what "diag 1" means? Also since the crash ive got what seems like a really bad earth on the ignition barrel as in its a bit of a pig toget the ignition on and it also cuts out every now and then when im...

How accurate is the Mille's speedo considered to be? I've come from Kawasaki who are infamous for inaccurate speedos. My Zed's clocks over read by nearly 10%. I assume the RSV's clocks are more accurate but it would be nice to have some idea for those tricky "Oh **** there's a camera van how...

Hi again all, Ive got a couple of questions that i thought id put into one thread about my 2001 RSV1000. 1. The battery has got to go on an Opti as its struggling like hell. So... removing the seat is a real pain in the arse, has anyone come up with a solution?? i was thinking about running...
