upgrade

Ran the 2002 ape out for a steady 20 min run. Stopped for a brew and 10 mins later it wouldnt start. Cable connection to the starter motor and solenoid both smoking/melting. Can anyone tell me where I can pick up an upgrade cable set? The upgraded solenoids are easy enough to find but Im...

Hi guys anyone Upgraded bodies or have ideas why I'm not getting the bike to start Changed the bodies and have and a new chip. Bike was running fine before the change. Tried unplugging the pc3.the fuel pump primes with key in ignition so believe it's getting fuel. I have switched the chips...

Is it possible to swap the std calipers for something with a little more stopping power / bling? I have considered hunting for a set of factory / RSVR forks and calipers but understand they aren't a straight swap. I'd love a factory (gen 1) but they seem to be like hens teeth.

Hi. I'm a newbie to forum and this is my first post so thought I would make it useful. I've been looking at rad guards on flee bay for a while now They look good and aren't a bad price. About £80 But I'm tight and prefer to make things myself. :lol So I purchased a length of mesh...

Hello everybody. I have a rsvr 1000 factory 05, until now I have change the slipons, I put an air filter (k&n), I have install map 2, Oberon clutch slave and Barnett clutch kit (disks and springs). I'm thinking to open the air box and to take off the weight from the flywheel. Any suggestions...

Hi Folks. Has anyone replaced the standard Yuasa YTX12-BS battery on a Gen2 RSV with a Motobatt MBYZ16H? If yes, as the Motobatt is 15mm taller, did you modify the battery plastic top clamp? Thanks in advance.

So, I ordered a plug and play Brembo RCS kit from AF1. The kit comes with the adjustable 18 x 20 ratio master cylinder, mirror perch, new brake line, resevoir bracket and brake light switch. It was easy enough to fit apart from the brake light switch that plugs into the loom up under...

I noticed there is a gap of information for 04+ RSVR Factory bikes so I'm trying to post up some issues and conclusions to help others. I installed a new stator today and have the new Mosfet FH020AA R/R almost wired up. Its showing 14.26 volts at idle which is awesome. My issue is the stock R/R...

Guys:exclamation I´m looking for OHLINS front fork, used or new. to upgrade my front suspension from OEM Fork to OHLINS Fork. And also I lost one inner thread from the clamp. Thanks

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...

After three seasons on the T, and having to limp home twice with a failing rear brake, I decided to investigate the rumors of swapping in the V4Tuono brake-footpeg setup. Attaching a horizontal master cylinder to a hot, vibrating engine didn't seem like the smartest decision. Whether that...

Has anyone swapped out Hirt non radial type clutch master cylinder to a newer version radial type? I have got a radial M/C and might give it a to as if nothing it's a bit newer and in better condition than the old one, looks like I will probably nex a longer hydraulic line though does anyone...

I have just read in Ride Mag this month that the RSVR/Tuono (06 onwards) can take a side satdn from a fireblade or firestorm.. anyone had any experience with this. There are plenty of second hand sidestands on ebay, but interested to know if there is a specific year fireblade i should be looking...

I am a new member and new owner of a 2007 tuono. I just sold my 08 FZ1 and am looking for an 04 to 09 RSVR Sachs rear shock or a very reasonable Ohlins or Penske. Budget is king unfortunately. I weigh 230 and may need to beef up a spring too. thanks

I am planning to upgrade my 2002 RSVR to 57 mm injector bodies. Problem is that the 57 mm bodies have the black plastic injectors with different connectors from the metal injectors fitted to my 51 mm bodies. Does anybody know whether it is possible to switch the injectors from 51 mm bodies to...

I got hold of one of the less restrictive rubber air inlets for the airbox from an early mille. Fitted it today and realised it dosent meet the inside of the frame, leaving a gap between them. I read the early mille's had some sort of gasket for this. Is it going to matter if i leave the gap? I...

Hi all, I'm considering replacing the standard brembo wheels and Showa forks on my 03-rsv with R-parts. Can anyone tell me what will fit and what will not. Will all year oz's fit on both axial and radial ohlins forks and vice versa. Can I go for any year radial forks all the way up to rsv4 or...

I have just upgraded my Gen 1 with Killaprilla’s heavy duty leads. It’s pretty straightforward but I thought I’d write it up and photograph it in case anyone is interested. My bike was fitted with an uprated battery and 150A solenoid by the previous owner. You need these to get the real benefit...
