handling

ive had the bike around 5 months now, with little use due to our great weather :crazy, its a gen 2, love it to bits, but the more im getting to know it , the more im noticing its refusal to corner smoothly at slow speeds, roundabouts being one example,but mainly normal riding on country...

Hi, looking for some advise, Iv recently got a 2001 rsv and have a handling problem, the bike is stable on straights but when I turn ether way it pulls in and I have to fight it to keep the line, is there anything common that would cause this? or any suggestions

As you all know, I am the newbie with the yellow Mille R, 2001 vintage. Now when I bought the bike the suspension settings were all to ****, but now having returned them to standard the bike still feels ****. I'm refreshing the forks next weekend, with new oil and seals just to be sure, but my...

Hi guys, I have an 03 RSV Mille and it just dont seem to handle, I am a fairly quick rider and My old GSXR K4 600 was very nice, i could push it and feel confident, Where as the RSV seems very bouncy & wobbly and just not very . . erm . . :dunno planted! Front end also seems VERY light, my K4...

Hi All, I`m a noobie to this site but not to aprilia`s. I owned a 2001 rsvr a few years ago and defected to Ducati. I`ve come to my senses and i`m coming back. I`ve just test drove a 2004 factory and i`m utterly blown away!! It`s been a while since i rode my 2001 rsvr but i`m sure it...

Lost the other thread but anyway, been looking at the manual and also the PB setup guide and comparing suggested settings, in preparation for having a play at the weekend. I have just noticed that the ride height should be adjustable, but the manual I am curently referring to is the US version...

Guys My 2004 but old shape RSVR with all th ohlins feels great and grips on corners fine on smooth roads but the front end becomes very skitty and starts to loose grip on bends on anything but smooth roads (which are few and far between in my neck of the woods) Ive nearly lost the front end a...

So...How do you find the handling of your bike? I've had my 06 Factory for 2 years and 12k miles, and though I think its great, I've never been totally confident in its handling..High speeds it always seems to be on the edge of a tank slapper, feels very unstable..Now its due for a rear tyre...
