No I have not, it does run hot in the summer.....I wouldn't want to spend extended periods of time at a stoplight, but I don't ride in traffic generally so I am perhaps not the best source for how it might do in traffic stopping at multiple lights.

Darn thing is tricky.......It has fooled me in the past but I've never gotten out of the garage and down the road with before.

@@GareyCooperdude i just got my new one in. going to attach a lanyard just in case...

The speakers are uncovered in my set up, so I removed the foam pads in the helmet.

Great idea! Let's tell them to do it!

Glad to help!

Enjoy it

So cool!

Thanks for the update there....I didn't realize it was introduced in '19. Do you think there'll be any updates coming for the Tuono in the near future? It seems that Aprilia do this every 3-4 years or so.

Appreciate it

I agree, it's not a very flexible engine in that manner. I don't enjoy my Tuono at all when the speed is below 60 km/h / 37 mph, so I avoid city riding as much as I can. It needs 3,5-4k plus rpm to thrive. But it really shines at higher rpm all the way to the 12,5k redline, and then it's absolutely fantastic!

There is a bit of subjectivity to these impressions I must admit. However when I say "low down torque" I don't necessarily means it's the smoothest down at low rpm's. I just mean that it will pull well from down there. If I'm riding in traffic I hate shuffling through the gear box...and my impression is that you don't need to do so that much on the Tuono. BUT, in my long memory bikes have come a long-long way so my impressions might be quite different to yours. In any case I appreciate the comments and perspectives of y'all.

Glad you like them! This is what drives me and keeps me going......thanks again!

Just a short ride can give your feelings some boost, ain't it the truth!

Thanks once again guzziman!

Thank you kindly....I am improved and at least mostly functional now. I have a ways to go yet. As I have said I will at some stage do a more detailed discussion of my treatment(s) and how I think they've worked in the future in the hope that it can help some people out there....r

I will have to do a more complete run down of what I've been doing and been through at some future point. I'm not done yet, but I am improved and at least functional now. Thanks for the very kind comment.

Thanks so much, it means a lot to me. I've heard from others that my experience has helped them as well which makes me feel that sharing can help inform and relieve others. Strange to say that most of us are conditioned to see some things as "private" and "personal" not to be shared. Treatment so far is going okay, still some ways to go but at least I'm mostly functional now.

You got that right! There is zero room there! I have contemplated getting a tank bag. I used to have one on my BMW some years back...but the darn things are so ugly, however it'd be nice to have a bottle of water and someplace to store small stuff.

Just a silicone wrist strap that I wear....not sure it actually does much, but it's by now become a bit of a good luck charm for me..LOL. Thanks for the kind comments.

@@GareyCooperdude Well it looks really neat. Love to pick something similar up! BTW, I really enjoyed your video you did on hearing protection a few years back, it was a lot of fun! Keep doing what you're doing

Strange to say some gates work and some don't...I do have a transponder tag on my bike windshield and it will open the entry gates.....I'll have to ask the HOA if there is a remote for the exit gates...thanks for the tip!

@@GareyCooperdude To be clear, our HOA management company had the gate vendor program the exit gate so remote control can open it, it is just service call for the HOA, no big issue at all, all lift master gates can be program at the exit as well. I then bought a remote and programmed it according to the instructions they gave me. I also have a tag to get out of the entry gate, but it is a blind corner in my case a safety hazard, I find once you tell the HOA it is safety hazard, they program the exit gate real quick :)

Thanks for sharing

You bet & ride safe!

Strange...that I could actually hear it. You can hear it in the video actually.......but yeah, I'll bet some people don't notice it's gone until they're home or at their destination...!

True! Glad it didn’t drop on the highway.

That’s exactly where I felt something moving around….LOL. I thought what the heck is that?! Almost funny if you think about it.

Yeah…..my dumb. A replacement would probably be a fortune. So I may try to touch it up myself?

​@@GareyCooperdude maybe it is the chance to little change. Look at the new models 2024. They have same piece but different paint on it. From distance it looks like thetail is more like an arrow. Just a trick of the diagonally cutted decal. I am thinikg about to try it on my MY22 Ultra dark. :-)

It seems pretty common…… you need to make sure the rear latches are locked I guess. But it can fool you into thinking it’s locked down and it’s NOT…I’ll bet they are expensive to buy.

Thanks! 😃 Glad to do a little riding again Ashley.

Aren’t they so cool to have? Ride safe!

Sorry to hear that….it’s small consolation but San Diego has had buckets of rain these last couple of years….at least by our normal standards. Hope you’ve got some sunshine heading your way soon!

Glad you liked it!

Gosh, sorry that is a bummer as far as mail order on 'net type orders....particularly when gloves can be expensive. I'd say you should go to a local shop (cycle gear?) who has a good selection and try anything on before buying. I've even found variations from the same manufacturer...good luck!

Thanks William....these positive vibes help me a lot sir!!!

Okay, the absolute truth here is the rear vision is NOT as good as it is with the stock mirrors....one of the reasons the Fenrir look so good is that they are smaller......but you need to move around a bit to get a really good view behind you. No free lunch I guess. It does remind me though that a big twin MAY have more vibration issues than a V4? Don't know for sure but it you try bar ends on the Tuono let me know how they turn out.

Agreed, mental cleansing without the psychologist! Thanks for your kind words and greetings right back to southwest Norway from southwest USA/California!

As someone who suffered from depression and anxiety for years this statement is simply not true. No amount of riding has cured my mental illness. Therapy, exercise and meditation cured it, not riding. Riding then became much more enjoyable. Prior to that I was riding recklessly because I didn't care if I lost my life or not.

⁠@@bella_testastretta I guess people are different, for me riding is the therapy

Hmmm. I want to reply correctly here but I'm not sure I totally understand the question? There is better wind protection, but I'm not sure that you could talk behind it in motion...in fact I don't think one could. I use an in-helmet mic which is protected from the wind anyway...the mic also has a wind sock......so that takes care of wind interference for me. Also my communications device is in the helmet, so no wind noise there. So, let me try this; it is better, and it moves the point where the wind hits you further up your chest.....

@@GareyCooperdude Talk behind it is what I meant

Sorry about the typo I didn’t see it. I have the factory addition of the Toronto and I run the base model windscreen it’s the best one I found yet I tried the pew which was worse than any of them. But none of them I can tuck behind on the highway without getting wind in my helmet. I was wondering if you’ve gone to speed at least of 100 or plus to see if you can tuck behind it fully with no wind noise

I hope so too!

Thank you!

I appreciate it!

It is not that easy to do quite honestly...so you shouldn't feel too bad about this. The software and connection are not that clear. I think Dainese purchases this firmware and software from a supplier, but they could do a better job in my opinion. They have not updated the firmware in more than a year so I have not had a need to go back to this. However 1 year ago I did do a revised VLOG on this which you can see here; ruclips.net/video/DxRUeC_yxpE/видео.htmlsi=vYoYApysNFpgVrrj. These jackets are now on sale in the US at -35% from normal retail....I still think it's a good product. But you are definitely correct in that the updates could be more easily done!

Sorry for the delayed response.....but the Lexin has a built in charger...it uses a USBC charger cable, which is included in the kit. You will need a wall adapter for the cable if you want to charge it from a standard wall socket.
