oil

I have just had a major service done. While i was looking through the invoice it says that they have filled it up with semi-synth 10w-40 oil. It says in the manual to use fully-synth 15w-50 oil. Is that likely do do the bike any harm? and should i return to get them to change it for the...

Hi guys, as you all know I'm about to change the stator and reg/rec on my little money pit, anyway I'm going to change the oil and filter as well, but how do I know which filter to get? there are 2 (that I can find) "standard" and "long":banghead will they both fit? Oh and full or semi synth?

Got a 3 month old v4 factory 1100 . It's lost 225 ml of oil in 150 miles but has no leaks and does not smoke. Any chance it's down to big wheelies e.g quarter mile long

Just purchased a new 2016 Capo 1200 Rally this summer (2018). Drove it for 4 days, 1050 Km and then it was off to the dealer for the first hi $ service. Upon draining the oil it was found the oil to be a gold color and after a closer look the oil is contaminated with a substantial amount of...

Just looking to change the oil on my 2015 Caponord.. Bought it a few weeks ago from an authorised dealer. I've ordered the I-Ride PG 15w-50, arrived today, great service, but what I have received is labelled I-Ride moto 15w-50.. Excuse my general ingorance on this but is this the same...

I have a 2017 Tuono which has developed a small leak on the bottom bolt of the water pump casing. It looks like oil, not coolant, which I suppose is feasible as the water pump will be driven from a spline in the engine so there must be a seal involved. Anyone had anything similar or any other...

has anybods replaced their oil cooler hoses on a gen 2 ????? I am thinking of fitting a " t12 stator cooler kit " much discussed on the af1 aprilia forum in the states .apparently this kit does work to cool the stator heat build up in hot climates !!! the kit involves cutting a lump out...

I have a '16 Capo Rally with 5,200 miles on it. I've added just over 1 quart of oil since I bought it new. Is this normal?

Hi all, I have a 2006 Gen2 Tuono with 25,000 miles of trouble-free riding until now - my stator has just succumb to the Aprilia deep fat fryer. I know there are a lot of posts on here and on the RSV forum, I have been reading heaps, but I'd like some recommendations on the non-OEM fix and...

Thanks for the nice welcome(s). I put a K&N 138 oil filter on my previous Tuono (2015) with no problems. Should I put one on my new 2017? Or do I really need to get the OEM filter? Is the KN138 wrong altogether? The parts search feature within Amazons "your garage" feature says it won't fit...

Lads, have any Tuono gen 2carried out the option to fit a larger oil filter (length), if so why weren't they fitted as standard, just wondered, I know the Rotax engine is bullet proof if well maintained.

Hello all, I’ve had my gen 1 mille for about a month and ridden it a handful of times, once a ride into central London and back to Herts, lots of traffic and a roads/motorway work. I took off the side panel when I replaced the internal fuel lines. Problem is, it was covered in a film of oil...

So i decided to change my oil today. Level has been half way up pipe since i got the bike. Emptied oil out and i reckon at most 1.5ltr came out! I had 4x1ltrs oil and as i poured my second ltr in the oil had filled the pipe! I put 3ltr in total in and ran the engine for 10 mins thinking it would...

Hi, got a new oil filter on order with Fowlers going to carry out an oil and filter change, how do others fit the filter, last time I tried fitting the filter first followed by its cover, then I tried fitting the filter into the cover first and then tightening the cover screws evenly. Actually...

Hi guys I'm in the process of re-commissioning my 2005 RSVR which has been off the road and garaged for about seven or eight years. The oil level is good but obviously I intend to change the Oil and filter for starters . I looked on eBay for an oil change kit but most of the vendors...

Hi all Just done an oil and filter change and noticed that when the engine is running the oil tank is filling up all the way to the top, I drained it back to the level on the tank started her up again and the same thing happened!!!!! Any ideas.
