Thank you for looking! I just bought an rsv mille ´01 with 19200 miles on the clock. There is some oil spill (we call it sweeting in denmark) from the camshaft gasket. Do i need to replace, tighten it or ? and on the big wire to the starter the plastic cap has melted is that a tell tell of...

Hi, picked up my 08 rsv with 3000 miles on the clock. Just a couple of questions, I've only owned jap bikes before. The rear brake does nothing at all, I know they had a rep of having a bad rear brake, surely it should of been sorted on a 08 model? Neutral is a pain to get, although the clutch...

Hello, been lurking here for a little while, but just picked up my new 2003 Tuoldo in grey/gold on Saturday. Came from a 2003 Triumph TT600 and what a revelation, I absolutely love the twin, so much comfier and all that grunt! :thumbup I'm based in Oxford, but picked the bike up from 3...

Hey everyone. I'm new to Aprilia ownership. Just got a 07 RSVR Factory and have an issue with the rear brake not working. Have done a little research and I think it's probably a bleeding issue. Everything seems to be in order as far as the caliper and lines being intact, so other than bleeding...

Now then, I've got an 05 rsv with akra slip ons and running map02. Would a power commander provide any benefit? I see theres a map for it on their website to cover my exact mods so I would guess there would be a benefit? If there is what could I expect and exactly what would I need to buy, i.e...

Hey all - just saying Hi. Some of you will probably recognize the s/n from TLZone...yup, same guy. Now the owner of a new-to-me 2007 RSVR which I bought to possibly replace my Suzuki TL1000R. I haven't really ridden it much; just 25miles tonight bringing it home (that would be 40km for the...

Hi all, I'm starting to have a closer look over my RSVR and have a few questions: The carbon front mudguard and rear hugger have faded so look a bit pale. What's the easiest way to bring them back to their former glory? Can I use a wax or polish, or do they need to be lacquered? Has anyone...

Hi all, Picked up my 2008 Tuono Factory a few days ago and just got a few questions for the knowledgeable ones out there! Have had a search through the forum, but can't quite get the answers i'm after. Anyway: Can the display show a fuel guage, or countdown to when you'll run out...

Hi all! Does anyone know what the hole size is in the headstock of an RSV1000R Factory 2006?- i need to order a pin for my headstock paddock stand. Also anyone know who sells track/race fairing for the same bike apart from ard. cheers Steve

I just traded in my Shiver and now have a new 2007.5 Tuono. After scanning this forum I have seen people mention a problem with the rear brakes. Can someone let me know what the exact problem is? I would like to preemptively take measures to deal with this if I can. It appears that...

I have a '02 RSV-R that I purchased used. I'm replacing the front turn signals due to a slip up on the track. The previous owner integrated the rear turn signals w/ the brake lights. I bring this up because I found something strange. I connected my new 12V lights (LED) and they didn't work...

Hey all, I'm considering buying an '02 RSV R. It has 22,000 miles and has some sun weathering, but for $4000 OTD, it's hard to resist. The reason I'm in the market for a new bike is that my '07 600RR got stolen. I've been doing a lot of reading recently, but I wanted to get some opinions...
