problem

Now that I have something potentially useful to share, lets start with a quick intro... I am new to the forum and Aprilias for that matter, picked a 2000 RSV mille a couple of weeks ago. I cannot get enough of it, these things are so much fun! Almost quit riding all together, it was just not...

Hi all of you. It would be nice if some one from you can help me. The describtion of my problem is in the first case I couldn´t find a free download service manual for an RSV 1000 R 2006 all of that are only 00 o 02. If someone from you have this manual or a link you save my life with that...

Finally last night I got to ride my mates 2002 mille, just to see if I was right in thinking if my 2003 one was underpowered. The result being, bloody hell yes! Down the bottom of the rev range there doesnt really seem much difference, although his did seem alot more responsive, but the main...

Hi chaps i have just bought my my 52 reg rsv mille it has a full Arrow exhaust system and the end can has been grazed on the front where the band goes will post a picture does anyone know if i can get it repaired cheers the shoddmiester:thumbup

Can anyone advise? I own an 07 Tuono and up until now had no probs ( other than getting through rear tyres at alarming rate thanks to riding addiction brought on by ownership!) but now, three weeks after 6000 mile service (Aprilia dealer) my bike has stalled on me three or four times as I have...

has anyone else had this problem? just had new tyres fitted to my wheels, changed from a 180 to a 190 and when i've put the wheels back on, the chain is just slightly touching the side of the tyre:eek: what the ****? please some one tell me it's an easy fix without going back to a 180, lol.

Hi there, Wonder if anyone can help... Ive got an '03 Mille that insists on taking air into the front brake. In the short time ive had the bike ive had to bleed the front brake 5 or 6 times. After a week of so of riding it i figured it needed bleeding as the lever was coming quite far back...

Can anyone help with a HID headlamp problem?:dunno Bought my 03 mille a month ago with the conversion already done. Only ridden it in the dark for the second time tonight. First time in dark was ok but tonight the HID light (dip only, not HID on main beam) was flickering on/off quickly and...

Guys I've got a bit of a problem, anybody had similar issues? I picked up an 01 RSV a few weeks ago, brakes were a bit spongy but came back following a bit of a bleed, since I have been regularly cable tying the lever and bleeding the master cylinder to keep it firm. Yesterday I had the front...

Hi there, my 2004 Mille R overheated yesterday on a hot day riding in the city of Berlin. Coolant was boiling. Lost about 1/2 Gallon of coolant. Fan didn't came on. In my instrument panel the temperature was not exceeding 90-94 degrees Celsius. Water boils at 100 Celsius! Any idea of the...

had a blast up the cat n fiddle last night. after a few runs up and down, i stopped at the bottom to wait for a mate. when i went to start the bike again, i turned the ignition and the dash was blank. the headlights were on but nothing on the dash. i turned the ignition off and back on and...

Hi all, I've just bought a 1999 RSV Mille. Took it to Brands Hatch and scared the crap out of myself when I kept bouncing off the limiter cranked over!! Then realised it was happening far too low down the rev range (8-9,000). Since tested on the local motorway and definately feels like it hits a...

Put bike in garage for a couple of nights.....took it out to go on run...started it and it settled to a nice steady 5000rpm idle!?:dunno (neighbours loved that I'm sure)......was fine before it went in....idle adjuster seems to have no effect at all... had no probs before:(.....no expert but...

I got back home yesterday after a short visit to northern France having covered nearly 600 miles in three days. The bike didn't miss a beat :thumbup I stopped off at Brands Hatch for the BSB meeting and parked my bike using an Abus disc lock for security. When I got back to my bike it was...

OK, so I found why mine kept cutting out - the fuse box had melted and one of the fuses was making intermittent contact with the metal connectors. Amazingly, I happen to have a spare fusebox (lost the lid of mine so bought it as a replacement and never fitted it) so I can sort that. BUT ... why...

hi everyone. i have a 2001 mille with a spy ball alarm fitted, i have just fitted led indicators the problem i have is when i disarm the alarm and start the bike if i use indiacators all 4 flash. I have got around the fault by wiring in an extra bulb into the left and right...

Was riding back home from Donington on Saturday and noticed that my dash had gone dead and then my alarm started going off, so I pulled over. I then stalled the bike and tried firing it back up but nothing. I phoned breakdown and while I was waiting I thought "maybe it's a blown fuse?" but I...

Why does my dash keep resetting itself.It keeps changing from mph to km.Reset off I go turn bike off and when using next day it has gone back to km and the clock loses time .could it be a battery fault as everything is ok. any pointers cheers murf.

I cant figure out why my rear brake isnt working. I push down on the lever and nothing happens at all, there is no brake there what so ever. I have had it bled a few times and also changed the master cylinder which has made no difference. The garage i use has told me there is definately no leaks...

Right i bought this off Morepoints from this forum. . test rode it and all seemed well untill i got on the motorway and opened her up, then at about 8k it julted harshly and scared the **** out of me, thought i hit the limiter at first then tried again anyway this is a small vid of it when you...
