What is the recommended octane fuel for the 1200 Caponord? 87, 89'or 91? By the way, I test drove a demo 1200 Capo and really liked it. I am 6'2" tall and it gave me great leg room. My wife did not go with me on the test ride, but sat on the seat and really liked it. She liked the seating...

Previously had Dunlop and Bridgestone tyres on most of the inline 4's I've had before but now need a new set for the Mille. What do people recommend for fast dry road riding that gives good mileage, as I'm guessing the v-twins hammer tyres☺. Currently got 5 year old metzelelers on that need...

Hey All, I am new to this and could use your help and advice. What tire make, model, and size do you recommend for my 2003 tuono. I like to ride both around town as my transportation, but also enjoy taking it out for fun on the weekends (more performance). I am looking for a tire that will...

Hi Guys, Just got hold of a 2010 and I love it. Recommended Mods The previous owner told me that he had filed down something that typically rubbed on a pipe. He also mentioned something about a brown electrical connector that should be done. Can anyone give me info on this. Otherwise...

Hey all, There are probably a load of posts on this but I couldn't find any. Anyway we are probably more familiar with battery chargers than but most motorbike owners out there and was wondering which you guys thought might be the better ones to go for? I bought an Oxford one which looked...

Need to bleed my brakes/clutch on my aprilia mille 99 What oil should I use?

I'm after some new rubber for my bike. Is there anything that comes recommended? I'm a road rider, stick to fair weather (unless I get caught out), mainly the twisty roads. Rather quality than wear as I don't do big miles. Thanks for all your help! I've heard good things about Dunlop Sportsmarts.

Hi all, Just purchased a 09 Factory after taking a 09 out for a test ride from Inmoto Croydon, just had to have one so the R1 is on its way out !! Just wondered if anyone had recommendations on servicing because the ride to Croydon is crap from Guildford. Regards Paul.

Occasional poster here - thought my experience with MCT might be useful for people thinking about suspension work... Having experienced the benefit of properly-sorted suspension on my steelie CBR600 I finally booked my Tuono (08 R w/ newly fitted second-hand Ohlins rear) in for a...

So I can get to 90 without the clutch slipping but after that it's terrible. I've change the plates, I have new springs, I adjusted the pushrod back as far as it will go and I'm using Semi Synthetic oil. Why the hell won't it stop slipping? It seems to do it more the bikes is warm. I took...

Sorry being very lazy. Anyone got some links to trusted parts people. Im in need to get some little things like oil filter plate's rubber seal, also some for the engine drain bolt. Ta :)

I've been looking for rotors to replace my OEMs. I've been on AF1racing and see they're about 250 for each one. I've also seen the wave look-alikes on Ebay from Hong Kong. Has anyone ever tried those? I have a friend with an 08 R1 and he got the Hong Kong Wave look-alikes and hasn't had...

Im sure most of you will have found a dealer you are happy with and a few your not, but i would just like to share a quick thank you to the Rocket Centre Blackburn. Due to the lack of an Aprilia dealer in York i took a trip over the Pennines to the Rocket Centre on the recommendation of a...

Hi, My stock battery died today, leaving me stranded at a filling station. Looking around the threads here, it seems that it may be possible to fit a larger capacity item - trouble is that I am not sure whether these fit an '07 model. Could somebody help me out please and point me to the best...

Got an 05 R and thought I might do an oil and filter change. Busters are currently doing a 4L Castrol Power 1 10W/40 with a free filter for £30.69: http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/productinfo/CASOFF1/Lubricants/4-Stroke-Oil/Castrol Anyone any thoughts on that or another recommendation?

Hi there Has anyone any good advice for me looking to upgrade and up bling my dirty brake lines and clutch lines on my 2001 rsvR. Any advice welcome Thanks Jason

I was wondering what the stock settings are for dials on the ECU. I'm not sure if mine were turned or not by accident but wanna set them to the stock position if that's a good idea.

Hey guys, So how much are the hooked air boxes these days for the 99-03 milles (mine 03), and what's the best accompanying chip (also have blue-flame evo exhaust)? Thanks, Anthony
