All sorted now
Not a great idea to fit an exhaust too early in the morning, think I had a brain fart lol ;)

Morning All,
I've noticed over the last three or four hundred miles that my clutch fluid is becoming darker I'm guessing that the time to change the infamous slave cylinder is upon me.
A quick internet search gave me the following options
Oberon £92.00
Aprilia £68.00
Motopike...
I have been watching Moto GP on Eurosport since it started and loved every minute of it , hated the BBC coverage mind you :banghead
Having watched it today though i must say im liking the new coverage , the interviews up and down pitlane are good to watch , jury is still out on James Tosland...
Ok so i have just come back from a 2000 mile tour of France, 2 up fully loaded on my tuono.
So to begin with the tuono is a 2004 model(gen 1) with a carbon can co slip on exhaust, forza chip and 16 tooth front sprocket, rear is standard.
It was fitted with oxford first time luggage...
As you may know I have a 04 Rsv1000r gen2 and I bloody love it but there's a problem. I have a previous neck break and I also have 2 collapsed disks in my mid lumber. Now the question is should I go fitting a high bar kit and chopping the top fairing of a nice clean 16,000ml bike? I really don't...
I have had all the usual issues, starter solenoid, battery, fuelling, lumpy running, cloncky drivetrain but I now have a beauty of a bike that wipes the floor with anything else I have test ridden.
Its roomy, comfortable and will roll all day without any issues.
So heres my feelings on...
I fitted some new rim strips just before the crap weather hit, I think they look pretty good, anyone any thoughts on the look, like or hate them!
Before:
After:
Cheers.
I know its subjective, but comparisons can still be valid. hearing youtube clips doesnt give the full effect i'm sure.
I like something with a beast of hells gate - 'stood on a plug top' roar. not a fan of POP-POP-kak-POP-BOP-BOP-BOP.
Pads in mine are ***** (dont know what they are, but aint going to cut it on track) As the bike is road bike first, track second but in group 3, I need something suitable. Thinking brembo sc`s.
Anyone used these on track?
Mines and 02 haga, that has the 4pad calipers does it not??
Where do you...
Just thought i would share a few photos of my recent transformation! Its nearly finished, excuse the messy garage :biggrin
So i bought it like this......
And now it looks like this!!!.....
I have a couple of things left to do. But im getting there... slowly :biggrin
I'm shortly going to do a European ride of approximately 1200 miles over 5 days with some Advanced riders on my 07 RSV.
Any pointers with regard to riding these beasts long distance :confused
Many thanks :thumbup
Ever had an occasion where you don't wanna part with a bike?
For me, the RS is the epitome of everything awesome. She looks beautiful, from her five spoke wheels, to her massive dual front discs, with twin four piston calipers, her gorgeous swingarm, her magnesium alloy sculpted frame, the...
Opened up the sprocket carrier some weeks ago, 1-2-3......16, counted again 1-2-3....16, counted rear 1-2-3......40, OK standard gearing will order a 15t.
Well after getting my hands dirty and looking forward to taking it for a spin cleaned the 16t sproket up to take to Cadwell incase wanted...
Finally got the MOT this morning so decided going back the slightly longer way home, this was my first decent chance to give it some beans.
On aproaching a roundabout with yellow markers on the road I got a bit of bar wobble, possibly light front end on the throttle, and on braking with the...
Have been searching through the good old bay and have stumbled across a gen 2 which has been fitted with a FZ1 headlight. This is the second Tuono i have seen with different headlights last one was a T with a speed tripple setup on it.
Whats the thoughts on this, its not my cup of T i think...
hi all my new rsv 09 just rocked up last night and i took it for a nice ride must say it really is a nice bike had me speechless on my 1st ride hehe the finish is really nice altho some parts had sand in it???? as if it was casted in sand or something like that it was brand new out of box only...
My Mille is red and black, mostly black, and as a fan of Max Biaggi before I bought the Aprilia, have seen some white #3's like he has on his RSV4. Would they look crap on the fairing or would they make the bike stand out a bit ? They are quality laminated decals made to order. I can always...
Only had the bike (2004 1000R with akrapovics) a wee time and have discovered an interesting fault.
Turn the ignition on and all the instruments come on or wizz about until after a few seconds they go out and I start it. But, quite often the error light stays on - even after it's started -...
