Hi all, bought my RSV4 Factory APRC on the weekend with a massive 380 miles on it! I've got a few questions before I continue to read the manual (got to do it slowly to take it all in! lol) 1. Does a service light come on for the 1st service? 2. Do I really need a racing ECU? 3. If I get an...

Gonna change the rear suspension link back to standard, as it has a 1" lowering kit fitted at present. My dumb question is, am I going to need an Abba type stand to get the link off? Or is there a way of removing the rear link without taking all the weight off the back wheel? Cheers folks

Great to see an established Mille forum on the net. I passed my bike test 10 years ago, and had 3 months of fun on a yamaha yzf400, i had some hard times back then and had to sell the bike between jobs. Finally 10 years later i decided to purchase my 1999 RSV Mille. with only 16,000 miles on...

Hello All, I bought my first Mille yesterday. Previously had 20 years riding on big 4s, a couple of strokers and most recently an SP1.

First being, how do you remove the fuel tank when it has fuel in it? Second is valve cover gaskets. Noticed I have quite abit of oil on the outside of the engine and it looks like it's coming from the lowest points of both rocker covers. Could it just be new gaskets required or something more...

Hello, been riding an SV650 for around two years now and have decided its time for a change. There is a very lightly used (3200 miles) 2005 Tuono Factory R in my neighborhood going for $7200. First question for the experts is, is this a fair price? Second question is regarding problem areas on...

Does anybody know if the aprilia titanium chip needs something different to work other than just plug in and go? I've heard many stories about what there calling daughter boards or anti scramble boards or something,does anybody know anything about this at all?

Hello there First post on here, I'm looking to buy an rsvr 2002 or so soonish and I've been scanning through the forums looking for good and bad points about this bike. Was hoping someone could outline a few of the common problems with the bike (electronically is what I seem to find alot) and...

hi, i've just bought a simple h4-bixenon (bixenon because it was dirt cheap, about 20 euros and a friend of mine had it for sale) kit for my other mille. for some reason the high beam actually works as in it spreads the light as it should for a high-beam. anyway i plugged it in and it does flash...

Newbie Tuono owner here. I've had many bikes before and currently own a Buell X1 (which I am keeping). The Tuono seems like a fun bike to own and ride, reliable and can be toured if required. I purchased a one owner 2006 Tuono (red), with Akropovic slip-ons, aftermarket air cleaner...

Thanks to all those who replied to my question re exhaust cans. I bought my RSVr in Dec 2011, trading in a 750 VFR, and there is a bit of difference! The bike is a single seat version and more comfortable than I thought it would be. Now for a couple of questions:- 1. The front forks are 3 way...

1. How do I change from Kilometers per hour to miles per hour on an '05 Tuono? 2. Where should I look to purchase a matching seat cowl? I'm sure these have been asked in the past. Thanks Dudley

Well thanks to cew I received the biposto setup today and it's installed and ready to go :) now for the questions. I am thinking about changing the clip ons to the top of the tree. That means I will need to lower the front end .75" from where it is now to accommodate the clip ons. Is this a bad...

I have a 52 plate Tuono Only noticed the other day that the rear shock is a sachs? Is this standard? I thought they were Boge? I do know that the bike was a cat C right off when I bought it so may have had some mods done. Secondly, side stands. I have had it fall over twice due to a flat...
