when i was cleaning the bike, I noticed that the rear suspention can be slightly moved. When you grap with your hand the big red spring, You can turn the whole suspention for 1 or 2 millimeters. And when you put the bike on the centerstand and you pull the backwheel up (by hand,verticaly and a...

Hello again everyone. I'm indeed of some technical help here. Im fitting a new disc brake and I'm asking if need to fit this at a specific torq? Or shall i just tighten the mother out of it?

The compression adjuster screw doesn't click like the manual says. Anyone one else got this issue? Also the rebound adjustment, it says 18 clicks anti clockwise, is that from fully hard or fully soft? Ta

Does any one know the rating of the rear spring for rsv 1000 2003 model sachs shocker, I need a stiffer spring , but dont know what to order .

OK Chaps I have very nearly got my bike to a state where I am prepared to take pictures of it without fear of abuse. I have a new exhaust arriving (thank you Roy!) and my carbon rear firing should be here in the next few days - I really want to get a seat cowl as I rarely carry a pillion will...

Hi guys, I was wondering if you can help me out explaining what happened to my brake. I was just riding along noticing a decrease in power (which I now realize would have been the brakes biting without me using them) I accelerated through the power slump and a minute later the rear brake...

I've looked around for a couple days and I just can't figure it out. How do I adjust my rear shock so my bike isn't so bouncy? I'm just stuck with it, I've probably done more damage to it by trying to adjust it deciphering posts I've been reading. Help before I destroy it, PLEASE!

So I just bought an 01 Mille yesterday and I can't seem to get the rear brake to work. I've bleed the line about a million times, pulled and split the rear caliper to check the pistons and o-rings. I unbolted the master cylinder to check for leaks and I've come up clueless. I'm not losing...

Hi all, I am trying to remove the rear bobbin but it looks like the threadded bar runs all the way through the gearbox casing to the other side, I can't tell if this is passing through a mount, with it's removal, I really don't want the motor to come smashing through the fairings! I'd love to...

Hi anyone. I've recently bought new replacement F/R sprockets for my 03 aprilia tuono aswell as new rear brake disc and pads. And whilst i'm changing those i thought I'd replace bearings to. Well after i removed the circlip I've discovered a little cerosion around clip, which has taken a few...

This guide is intended for all those who want to upgrade their horizonally mounted rear brake master cylinder on their RSV1000s to due to loss of braking power. The master cylinder I used for this is the Brembo item for the Ducati 1098S, which exits on top rather than at the end like the OEM...

I replaced my old rear sets, that had no break light switch, for new one's with a hydraulic switch. Could someone tell me where the 2 wires go that come off the switch. Cant find the original wires from the OEM switch. MANY THANKS.

Hi all, Rear suspension collapsed on me last night. Dog bone snapped and looking around on forums seems like it's not uncommon. Can't afford a new one from Mr Aprilia right now so does anyone on here have one for sale? I believe the part number is AP8146340 for 2001 RSV (non-R). Thanks for...

Adjusted the chain for the first time on Saturday, the rear axle nut was ludicrously tight. The swingarm actually relaxed so much it moved a fair bit along the paddock stand bobbins! I've read 120NM is recommended by Aprilia, but some people say that's too much and use more like 90NM? Also, I...
