engine

I've bought a set of Akrapovic evolution full system, they come with 4 bolt flanges for the later engine, but the carbon hangers are the wider bolt spacing of the gen1 RSV.. could it be for example that the 05 Tuono (Gen1 shape right??) got the later Gen2 rsv style engine with 4 bolt flanges...

My 02 Mille motor just died. Anyone have an engine out there for less than the cheapest one on ebay - £440 :( Mine is complete in everyway apart from a lack of oil pressure, so if someone has one thats part incomplete thats fine.

I am looking for a starter clutch complete with magneto for a 1999 Aprilia RSV 1000. I am in South Africa, can anyone help? This is the 3rd time bolts have come loose and destroyed the magneto!

I see a lot of posts recommending 15/50 semi synthetic. While I've been out today I've nipped into a few places and it would appear like I'm asking for the moon. Any recommended supplier? Either stores or online.

Anybody got any dimensions of a stand i can copy while i fix my engine please.

Hi guys, I'm posting for a friend of mine who just bought YESTERDAY a 2006 Aprilia RSV R with only 9000km on board. At a closer look after buying it we discovered that the battery top plastic cover was loose and some plugs to the battery cells were off. We inspected the battery (by eye :) )...

HI, I've just bought an 05' rsv r, it's just had a full service and MOT. My problem is once the engine is running and i've selected a gear I can't get it to go back in to nuetral without switching off the engine first. The clutch fluid was changed at the service and is still clear. Anyone got...

Hey folks. Last few rides I've had on the T have noticed when I pull up to lights or junctions I can't select neutral or even snick down to first and stop with the clutch engaged to pull away. Only seems to happen when the bikes hot. I've noticed the clutch lever almost comes back to the bar...

Hi Guys, It's now been a week since my bike has been back together. I've managed to put a couple of hundred miles on it & things are bedding in. One thing that i have noticed is the engine management light flickers on and off at the odd interval. It seems to be at steady speed with very little...

Bit of an odd question, which exposes my lack of knowledge! but i am looking to boost power on my 2003 RSVR (Gen1). Big bore is not an option due to class rules, and I have done most of the more superficial mods (chip, balanced headers, PC3 and airbox underway). I plan to do the big valves and...
