Hi everybody, I have fitted a power commander pcIII quickshifter and have had no end of problems with it cutting the ignition when my foot is nowhere near the gearshifter!! Any suggestions before i ship it back? Cheers

After 6 years of ownership, I'm sick of the starting problems I have with the Gen 1, especially in the winter. :banghead The 2004/5 model I have has the headlights permanently on, and I'm thinking of fitting the L/H switchgear from an earlier model that incorporates a switch to allow the lights...

Hi guys Anyone know where I can buy a new sprag, sprag housing & sprag gear cheap..ish..I've seen the Ducati sprag for £50 & a sprag housing for £99 on ebay but the only place I can find the gear is Yorkshire Aprilia which is £162. I'm pretty sure I need all the parts as the sprag fell to bits...

So I spent whole of sunday removing fluids (oil and coolant), and taking parts off for fitting of Samco Hose kit (APR1) for my 2003 RSV Came unstuck and guys at racebikebitz said no-one had this problem before. They supplied 10 hoses, I need 13! The complication came around the hoses from Right...

Hi All Just joined this forum..so Hello! Thought I'd share an unfortunate experience and hopefully find out if anyone has had similar problems. Ive got a 2012 V4 just done 8000kms and the gearbox tore itself to bits on the way to work a month ago! Fortunately all nicely repaired under...

I'll be entering the worlds fastest wheelie competition again next year, the only thing is I've always used GSXR's in the past as they are the best bike to do it on. I will be using the the other half's K9 GSXR 1000 for the actual competition but I was wondering if a took the Tuono and had a...

Hi guys, I've got a 58 plate tuono with a pc5, to which I've had fitted a dyno jet quick shifter. All been set up on rolling road, dyno'd etc. All hunky dorey. Lately though.....Started acting up at silverstone, wouldnt go into 6th with the shifter, but fine with the clutch. Couple of weeks...

Hi I'm having problems with my Tuono in regard to tick over. For no reason when the bike is started it won't idle on its own. The engine can be kept running with the throtle but release it and the bike stalls. The problem may not happen for weeks and normally disappears after a ride and the...

hi all.. been a long time since i was on here - still have my rsv mille - had a few issues over winter - the old spag clutch went, but thanks to old griff at aprilia performance for the parts- this was sorted and replaced in brighton by my machanics. . now my issues are charging/battery...

Just had a grueling few hours down the garage. Ive been working on the quick action throttle mod for the gen 1 mille. I finally got the cam to run smoothly and return to the stop as it should, adjusted the cables at the TB's, angled the throttle so as it would return at any bar angle then began...

Hi. I'm new to Milles. I've heard about the battery going flat on the gen 2 bikes reseting the mileage on the clocks. My question is does the same thing happen when the battery goes flat on a gen 1 bike too?

Folks, Ok been reading with interest the problems that the brown connectors throw up on our Tuonos, so after reading the following how 2: http://www.joe250.com/motorcycles/tuono/brownconnectors/brownconnectors.html I have a couple of questions, 1) why not solder the connections together...

It is my birthday today (happy birthday to me) and I had a rather nasty surprise. My RSV-R wouldn't start. It turns over fine and the battery has been charged (and replaced last week). Every time I press the ignition button, the engine turns over, but the fuel pump primer comes on (as if I was...

Just bought a nice tidy '02 RSV Mille :inlove, 14,000 miles on the clock. Everything is very nice except I am having a problem with the braking. If I brake from anything over 40mph the front end chatters like a *****. The harder the braking, the worse the chatter. Below 40mph there's nothing...

Hi guys, I have an 03 plate Mille. Yesterday, my indicators threw a wobbler. As sitting on the bike, left indicator brings all 4 indicators online (FL,BL,FR and BR). However FR does not light up, but shows voltage going up and down in time with other indicators. If I activate right indicator...

My 02 Rsv Mille R developed a weird issue last night while I was riding, once the coolant got hot(slow speeds), it would not downshift more than 1 gear at a time, and the shift would just lay limp in the down position. It would up shift just fine, I took it back out at highway speeds, and as...

Just checking before I order and get em fitted! I know some brands of 190`s can foul the chain while 55`s can rub the hugger when hot... Anyone had issues with this model of tire in that size on a 01/02 mille??? Thanks in advance ;)
