@@adzventurerider very well said that

@@LowsideLew thanks very much mate. Yes it’s a bit tricky to learn that learnt I’ll be honest , it’s a little while , plenty of undulating corners , bumps and turn 1 is tricky but first day you will hate it and then you will love it .. spend first day simply learning it .. thanks for watching

@@ImmortalStrengthPowerlifting I have the white one all the time which if I remember was the most aggressive but mine is a full time track bike and after 2 trackdays you get used to it , the medium one is great for road and some trackdays (I honestly forgot which colour was the medium but it’s in the video 🙈)

@@ChasingTenths Thank you

@@giovannigioo9751 absolutely, he’s my hero. It’s because of him I started my RUclips channel, I met him two years ago at ECIMA Italy

@@pitchforkpeasant6219 no problem at all , thanks for watching

@@georgeday5901 sorry George , I didn’t understand, where were the flashing blue lights ?

@@georgeday5901 you are spot on there

@@OTEA-vu6ek yes it can affect , because the speed sensor as far as I can remember is behind the engine , ontop of the crankcase, above the transmission, behind the silver starter housing….. I think that’s the same with 2006… if the speed sensor is in the wheel then it will not affect it

Thanks for the info👍

@@f.stopperrmedia1606 if you have a 2016 RSV4 rf. First of all congratulations you just bought the best Bike ever, I am biased of course I’m secondly your bike comes with a 200 rear tire and the best balance between Road And Race aspect ratio is it 200/60 Even a 200/55 is pretty good if you are mainly going to do Road Miles , if majority of your riding is going to be on the race track then 200/60 is a better option..

@@ChasingTenths Yeah I bought it as a dedicated track bike. I was using an older Ducati Hypermotard, definitely not a track oriented but it was great fun. I was looking at the Panigale V4s for a while, I just couldn't justify the prices. So I found a 2016 rsv4 rf with 4067 miles in great shape from a guy in New Hampshire (USA). 200/60 was the idea, thanks for the feedback! Can't wait to get it out next season. Not many people make content with these bikes, very glad I found your channel.

@@f.stopperrmedia1606 thanks very much for the kind words mate.. honestly, I have ridden the Ducati v4 , this Aprilia is so easy to handle , the front of the bike is extremely planted even when you push it beyond certain limits .. and don’t worry about chasing power . Your bike will make around 175 bhp to 182 bhp on the back wheel, and that’s plenty as you will make plenty of time up under braking and mid corner

@@ChasingTenths awesome, the bike should suit my strong points then. A lot of that I got through your videos, if I hadn’t found your channel I may not have ended up with this bike. I wanted something that wasn’t ballistic and un-ridable. 175-180 hp is plenty enough for me at the current moment. I like to carry high entry speeds (high compared to other novice/intermediate riders in my groups at track days) and leave it late on the brakes. I’m new to the track so I’m still learning, but I’d consider myself on the faster end for my skill level. You’ve been an excellent reference. A bike that was easy to ride with good stability was absolutely the #1 priority.

@@f.stopperrmedia1606 I am really happy for you honestly and so glad you found my channel useful .. I need to make a few more videos then lol Just make sure valve clearances and service intervals are met according to the TRACK miles schedule on the manual and the bike will pay you dividends

@@Rejii16 thank you ☺️

@@Hafifnik thank you very much .. truly appreciated

@@GroupFitWiltshire thank you , I’ve done like 3 detailed episodes on it. I really hope you have a wonderful time . It’s a great circuit

@@andrewprice1189 such a lovely comment Andrew.. thank you I hope you never sell yours too I have three retro bikes and this one is so close to my heart I love 40 miles from Hinckley where it was built One of the best bikes they ever made

@@dora7940 thank you 🤗

@@f.stopperrmedia1606 you are absolutely spot on, we definitely had a lot of fun that day , it’s a shame Silverstone has stopped bike trackdays until further notice , it’s so wide, you can multiple lines into corners and exit

@@NetMillionaire thank you very much for the appreciation…, it’s my favourite track now too I absolutely love it

@@Taste_Budz that’s a good shout , I think you meant BST

@@edwardgillatt1666 thanks very much Edward

@@edwardgillatt1666 much much appreciated, glad it was informative and useful :)

@@Mark_Meisho_Thompson totally agree , it was an eBay purchase from another chap who was breaking his bike in parts They were nearly new , so just a lucky purchase , right place right time I guess

@@ChasingTenths ahh soo lucky man I’ve been looking for months to try and snap up similar but they just haven’t come up! Tempted to email yoshimura and see if they can make ta set up with the older style badges on for me

@@Steve25g well, looks like I found the hardway Steve … cheers for the info

@@ChasingTenths had a first gen 750, and exactly the same gsxr too. And same year yam. Xt. The moment, they put alcohol in the gasoline, it was crying. Either you run the engine every week twice, or run into this problem. It even attacks rubber parts in the carbs I changed my carbs to the 'tuning carbs', and that solved the problem . They still clog, but seem to unclog again. Not sure after a year though..

@@Steve25g what you have said there Steve makes absolute sense and I’ll be honest with you. I’ve learned my lesson and I also spoke to a Suzuki classic personnel who told me to simply empty the carburettors of petrol before every winter and not to add any fuel additive

@@ChasingTenths agreed, while emptying the carbs is a solution, you need to make sure, they are completely empty. Had the same issue with my xt. Took of carbs, cleaned them , with gasoline, two days later, problem returned,... It actually got better, after changing carbs to mikuni rs.

@@Steve25g wow Steve, thanks for all this info , much much appreciated honestly

@@jeffreygrullon2962 cheers Jeff.. glad we are on the same wavelength

@@gkat123 I mostly use SC1 slick in the front mate and TD rear It’s a great combination Never had any issues even at good pace However when it’s very very hot The TD rear starts to slide

@@ChasingTenths Iv got a few days coming up at Cartagena in march and was planning on bringing a couple td rears as I have a couple new ones spare but maybe an sc2/3 for the front? What do you think? What’s your experience on the sc3 I can’t seem to find many videos apart from your comparison?

@@gkat123 so the SC three Pirelli slick is very good when the weather is not hot if the weather gets hot the tire will start sliding the compound of the Perelli SC3 slick is very similar to the Metz TD … the main differences you get more aspect ratios with the Perelli so you can get that 60 ratio and 65 ratio so you have more contact patch on the side compared to the TD compound which only comes in 55 ratio but that has never bothered me… for the front you can useSC1 or SC2 .. you’ll be fine … TD is perfect for Spain at this time because Spain will not get too hot but just remember the tyre pressure must be 25 psi hot in the rear or if it gets too hot then 24 psi you don’t need to go lower than that … I have tried the Sc3 five times during an endurance race but it started sliding when it got hot and also you need to think about the pricing Pirelli sadly is very expensive

@@Gixerlee I use an app called Trackday genius It’s only for iPhones You download the GoPro video with GoPro gps into the app Normally the gps is in the video if you have gps turned on the GoPro And the app does everything for you To be honest I have to go a video On it soon

@@Gixerlee thank you mate, I just a happy go lucky guy who is trying to maintain a video diary of all the endurance racing and trackdays I do , trying to keep the entertainment value and some knowledge here and there Thanks for the watch I love Aragon too

@@TheCenturion8404 haha cheers mate, thank you Some more coming soon I promise

@@mojcaa.9647 yes, absolutely excellent tire No issues with it Will do a video soon

@@grahamhancock4904 so true , sadly due to cost cutting measures, many bikes don’t come with them

@@TheCenturion8404 hahaha , lovely comment , thank you very much 🤗

@@robertclark5733 nearest official one is basically there’s an Aprilia dealership outskirts of Southampton DEARDEN MOTORCYCLES LTD LIME KILN LANE UNIT 5 HARDLEY INDUS SO45 3NQ SOUTHAMPTON

​@ChasingTenths thank you Abhi, unfortunately they don't do test rides on the RSV4 😢

@@robertclark5733 Oohh no , what a shame 😢

@ChasingTenths I rode a test R1 from Crescents which I loved but I found the ergonomics hurtful to my wrist. I'm hoping that the reach on the RSV4 is slightly less. Sitting on static bikes can be not representative to how they feel dynamically. At 63 I may be better on a BMW but an std inline 4 doesn't excite me..

@@robertclark5733 you think exactly like me , I am the same about BMW, as much as the bike ticks a lot of the boxes , it’s just a bit bland , and R1 definitely has a very aggressive stance , certainly needs clip ons and foot legs adjusted straight out of the showroom , the new RSV4 ergonomics are much more forgiving than before

@@robertclark5733 thank you ever so much for such a lonely comment … it means a lot honestly

Never run a Carbon wheel with loose material inside as the impact at speed is not supported and can puncture the wheel. So you did the right thing to swap out and repair..

@@lonpfrb wow Brilliant stuff mate Thanks for that info That’s why my bike crashes so well 🙈🙈🙈

Screw things 5:15 are rivets, probably press fit.

Long footpegs and mid-frame bungs 6:20 are good on tarmac but a risk of flipping at the curb and into gravel where a dig in can enable a flip along the long front/back axis. Worth walking the circuit to understand the curb height and this risk.

@@lonpfrb cheers mate

@@lonpfrb I know mate but luckily I have been lucky that bike never flipped but they saved a lot of damage for me in a few crashes , I always say , we can’t simulate a perfect crash ever

@@bobupen6476 it all depends on condition , if one spends time and money on it then it keeps the value , these bikes are keep their value unless abused

It's crazy, grrr

Mine is 1990 in red white and blue, 29K on the clock, great condition. She’s on ebay for £1650, absolutely zero interest. A C90 seems to be more valuable !

@@ChasingTenths No.

@@bobupen6476 Oohh ok I totally understand what you mean , I guess times are hard

They still are for sure, the owner races himself and in the UK race season is full on, but i am surprise the website is down
