work

I took my bike to Sleep Aero Drome in Cheshire UK to try the launch control out. I was expecting to set LAUNCH up on the dash, pin the throttle and drop the clutch.. I thought the revs would stay at somewhere around 6000 until the clutch was fed in, but I found the throttle was just like...

I recently upgraded my battery as the previous battery died through age, I got a high torque motobat battery. Now my speedo is has wiped my mileage and fails to show the speed, the rev counter works and the clocks appear to work, so its just the speed indication and mileage that is an issue. Can...

After a small side stand drop at the end of last year decided to go the whole hog and change the colour of the bike. No more tulip red. Now have a carbon nose belly and tail and a black tank. Painted the coil covers and ears mat black. Just waiting on gold vinyl decals arriving now.

Signing in folks. Hoping there are some owners of the older rsv in here coz i'll have some work to do on mine. Just dragged mine home tonight and ye gods it's fast for a twin. Owned an sv650 and a vtr firestorm before that but no contest. Hope i can get acquainted with some of you guys and get...

As a newbie to the forum. .. I thought it only right to post a piccy... the pile of parts in the shot, is a 00 rsvr... currently a right pita... but hopefully should be a bit of fun on the track soon.....

I know this may sound a bit gay, but If i wanted to smooth out the ride without having to use the clutch as much especially at low speeds round town, ive heard you can do this by changing the gearing! does anyone have any suggestions on what teeth i will need on the front and rear sprockets to...

Great app for photos!

Hello, Am seeing some really nice looking body work on eBay from Hong Kong. The graphics in the photos look very cool. The price is damn low as well. Anybody have any real-life experience with these after-market plastics? Namely curious about the fit and finish. I know the old proverb - if it...

I'm new to the forum but I've been trying to find out what sort of events, ride outs or meets are going on and thought I'd check out the calendar but can't see anything after December 2010. Does it work? Or am I being a complete tool and missing something obvious? I'd like to let some others...

Just had to give my T it's first MOT. Much to my surprise, the back brake works!:thumbup Thought I would share that.

Hi, I have one if this in my bike, it's the pull sensor for reverse gearshift. I've configured ir as standart, starts working over 4000rpm with a 'cut' of 65 msec. But in most of the cases when I am in acceleration appears a micro cut (the same as if I was gearing up). It's a ****...

would a 2 in to 4 exhaust system work on gen 1 ape ???

Had a few days off work and rather than just ride my bike I decided to do some much needed TLC after 1000+ miles since owning the bike. Cleaned, oiled and adjusted the chain. Cleaned rest of the bike and gave all the essentials a liberal coating of ACF50 ready for winter. Then I decided to...

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...

http://www.ultimateparts.net/aprilia/c.php?n=Accessory-Performance-parts-IV-Aprilia-RSV-1000-2003-Aprilia-Spare-Parts-Genuine-&i=18757 What exactly is the trans kit? Would parts 1 and 8 be good for my bike? Why and why not? By the way if you do a search the 1999 Mille SP they sell the Arrow...

Basically as described...looking at buying this, but I thought I remembered reading something about the UK spec headlight having different connectors or something not quite meshing right with the US spec bikes...
