tank

Got some fuel leaking from the vent pipe to my fuel tank. I'm guessing the fuel hose inside the tank has deteriorated. I have ordered some submersible fuel hose to replace the bad hose. Anything else I should order prior to opening the tank (clamps, seals etc... ?) Ordered the hose here (its...

This is my first post in here because I am neither mechanical nor technical :lol I want to run a power cable from the battery on my 2013 V4R to a sat nav mounted on the handle bars. I take it the best way of doing this would be to run it under the petrol tank? Also, is there a Haynes manual...

I am wondering what is everybody doing for a tank bag ? I know that Aprilia offers one, I would like to see a picture of it, but I was wondering if anybody managed to use an existing aftermarket one.

I was wondering how many kms I should be getting out of a full tank in my rsv4 2012? The fuel light comes on after 120km ... This seems awfully soon and as I am commuting on my ride I feel like I am living at the petrol station. Is this normal? My bike only just got its 10,000km service.

Jollygiant on rsvr.net has been making his own carbon bitz and needs some help with a lend of a gen1 tuono oiltank to make a mould from. He will pay postage both ways and the generous person will get a carbon tank cover at cost price. Nice deal for someone!!! If you can help either let me know...

Hi I have a 59 plate Tuono and want to fit a Givi tank bag using their tank lock system. Givi don't appear to do a tank lock for the gen 2. Does anyone know if another tank lock from another make or model will fit?

Hi guys, Just bought an 02 RSV in the standard matt black, but it has I been in the kitty litter on a track day. There is nothing major, just light scratching etc as had full set of crash bobbins on. I want to make the bike look mint again. Wondered if anyone has a full set of plastics and...

Hi gang, Has anyone else ever gotten their petrol tank stuck in the raised position? the first time I lifted it(remove the two bolts beneath the triple and lift, the lower lip of the tank snagged a bit on the bottom of the triple(near the ignition). I managed to squeeze it out but squeezing it...

Happy New year all. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how they got round it. A couple of weeks ago I popped the farings off and lifted the tank to give everything a good clean and then do a plug and oil change. Yesterday tried to put the tank back down and it wouldn't go...

Hi all I would like to swap my red petrol tank for a black one. I would prefer a satin/matt black but gloss would be ok. My tank is 99% perfect, I would want the same back. Anyone interested in a swap ? Cheers, Nick.

This is a BRAND NEW, never installed, and completely flawless gas tank that I purchased from AF1 Racing. I bought it because my stock tank had swollen so much from the ethanol in the gasoline that my intention was to start over with a brand new tank, epoxy seal it, and call it good. I've...

Hi folks. Well, this is my first four stroke as well as my first big twin, so I'm honestly not sure whether I'm right to be "aware" of this or not. When riding the Mille, in addition to the wonderful sound from the exhaust and airbox, I'm also getting a sort of mechanical chattering noise...

Hi Just about to order some paint for a 2003 tuono oil tank take it it has to be heat resistant.

can I ask if anyone has ever experienced bubbling tank paint on their gen two tanks ?? Mine seems to be getting worse, down both sides. Took it to a paint shop this morning, and they suggested it may be the ethanol in petrol that is causing it, and suggested I ask on the Aprilia forums. So...

My 4K mile V4 has always run sweetly. Had it serviced about a month or 2 ago, and havent ridden it much since. About a week ago I noticed the vibrations getting fairly heavy through the bars, pegs and even could feel it through the frame on my legs. I took it to the dealer to get it checked...

Hi all following my last post decided I need to get the tank off to clear the blocked fuel filler drains. Have lifted the tank and can see the drain lines at the rear of the tank. However my large mits can't reach in there. Whats the best sequence and technique to lift the tanks off the bike. Jeff
