I have a 2014 RSV4 Factory and I painted the wheels red. It can be tricky powder coating sports bike wheels, especially if they're forged. The powder coaters oven runs around 500 degrees. If they do not accurately control the oven's temperature, you could get into a temperature range that will 'anneal' the wheel and metallurgically damage it. Possibly resulting in failure. The RR's wheels are cast, so it's less susceptible to potential damage, but it's worth a google. Nice bike! Love mine
I'm starting to like that sound My first bike was ban 84 interceptor 750 with a wolf header and kerker exhaust, it sounded like a CR 500, lots of tickets on that bike!!!!!
Cool beans bro... I had an interceptor 750. Crashed in '85, 6.5weeks coma... some idiot's U-turn stopped my bike, I kept going. Old news! New news: life starts at 150! I💌Aprilia RSV4 RF. Can't keep an ole man down.
In regards to gearing... A buddy of mine wanted to go up 2t on the rear of his '14 RSV4 and I had just changed the chain and gearing on the rear sprocket on my Shiver. I ended up giving him my stock 44t rear and he said the change was exactly what he needed. The great thing about Aprilia is the parts interchangeability is fantastic. Until very, very recently, their mid-to-high output bikes have tended to share any parts that aren't performance specific, like chains, sprockets, cush drive, rotors, etc... I put a set of Tuono V4R forks with Brembo calipers on the front of my Shiver and it all bolted right up, aside now having to take the fender off to put it on a headlift stand since the front end is a bit shorter. Does give faster turn in, though.
Damn you Moto Pilot... you are gonna cost me so much money, I want rsv4 in my garage right next to my 600 and 750 towering over them both. Great videos brotha ✌️
Been working on a house outside all day for the last few day and keep hearing a v4 I'm sure. Haven't caught a glimpse yet but I'm almost sure it's an RSV4. Such a beautiful sound!
Rock on bro. See you at the track or somewhere else. I just pulled the trigger on an RSV4 RF LS. Its still in it's box and that's okay... cuz my safety equipment is just leaving revzilla today!
Two years of ownership, and I still have a work of art. Nothing needs upgrading but gonna do exhaust cuz warranty is over... Ha Ha... Italian warranty?🤔😂🤣 But really they did fix stuff, like my horn needed connecting. I💌my RSV4 RF. Been to Autobahn CC raceway for labor day weekend for two years. Damn this is life! Grattan raceway 1 lap sub 1:50. Not bad for a 57 year old... See: ruclips.net/video/MPZ5PTx7Ass/видео.html
Yeah I sent them videos and everything and they said I didn't know how to install it. I've done valve adjustments and everything to do with a bike so I know I'm not crazy haha I even had friends try to install it on and it won't fit. Did you ever flash your ECU? Get it done by Gabro Racing Team it changes the bike in so many different ways!
Great vid man....Just bought a 2013 RSV4 Factory myself, and am looking to replace the cheesy looking Leo Vince pipe it currently has, with a CW pipe as well....Been looking for full length ride vids that really show what the pipe sounds like under "real world" riding conditions...A big plus was that you're running the db killer.....I wanted to hear what it sounds like with that installed, as that's probably how I'll run mine most of the time. Keep up the good work! ;)
I like all the reasons you love the bike for, especially the sound and the frame, but the quality control and maintenance can be painful compared to a Kawi, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha. My friend had an Aprilia about 6 years ago, and after 4 years had endless problems. He decided to get rid of it. I hope you have better luck with long term ownership.
Great Vid Moto Pilot. Really enjoying your work. Cool modifications on your bike. It looks great. I have a new 17' Tuono. I use it much the same way as you do. The higher revs are almost unusable on a public road without the fear of your license bursting into flames!
Great bike buddy.. awesome color and stickers scheme, the sound of it makes goose bumps! The AGV helmet was also a perfect match ;) How did you mount the Gopro right in the middle by the way? \m/ Ride in peace bro
MP, all your additions are so tasteful. I don't know much about Aprilia bikes in general. Italian made right? Is this a rival bike to an R1-M? H2? What advantages does it have vs a Japanese made SS? Your gear is smooth too. Does the new helmet have led's? (very cool looking at night.) Thanks for educating me. Btw, I don't ride anymore, but I get the whole V4 unexplainable power thing. (My one and only bike was an off the floor V65 Sabre.) ☮️
awesome bike, my wet dream bike :D just the stock gearing sucks compared to other 1000 cc, way too "top end" oriented, but I can see what Aprilia has tried to do with the rsv4 (track oriented bike)
Hey Moto Pilot...know that road well....used to go around Lake Matthews all the time down to the 15 long before there was much population that there is now. I live on the east coast now but took my RF around Palomar and 74 In Palm Desert last year....sure beats the days of the 84 Ninja and FJ11OOs...my 96 gixxer 750 was fairly sweet though but cannot compare w/ the modern stuff like our Aprilias.... if I make it out there again w/my RF I will try and give you a Shout out...nice customization by the way....Now you need to upgrade the suspension.!!!! if interested, I could sell you my RF rear as I upgraded to keep up w/the 17 model. CIAO!!!
Hey brother nice video. I’m hopefully about to get my hands on my very first Rsv4. I’m coming off a Z650 naked bike. How would you say the transition was between the naked and your Aprilia?
2013 RSV4 Factory. It was a real pain to get around in any traffic. Changing the 16 T counter sprocket to a 15 T changed it enough to make things good. It won't do 180 with that gear but you'll like it.
Just discovered ur channel! Its awesome! 2 Thumbs up on ur bike. Looks great n sounds great. I had a Ducati Monster M900 with full Termignoni Pipes, that thing woke the dead! This bike sounds like a T-Rex. Its my next bike for sure. Also i like ur riding style, similar to mine, quick burst here n there when its clear ahead, im not great at corners but i guess thats why i aint fallen yet in 13 years of riding. Also free revving the bike between gears just to hear it! Btw the Ducati monster M900 drinks gas like a Fish... i ran out of gas 3 times. Theres nongauge so im knocking on the side of the tank n looking into the gas tank before every ride. Nice vid keep it safe and keep em videos coming. P.S up a few teeth in the back would be great!!!
Hi Krish and welcome to my world. Funny you notice my free-revs between gears. Old habit I just noticed I do recently. For starters Im just going to drop one tooth on the front and see how that goes since I do a lot of freeway boring miles. Then maybe jump one tooth on the rear. The RSV4 does have a gas light but no gauge. My Suzuki 1000 gets 42mpg...the RSV4 only 31. Had a low fuel scare coming to work this morning actually. Whew! MP
MOTO PILOT Use your mic if you can plugged direct into the zoomh4 set it to 96khz 24bit, low cut on, comp/limiter to studio and set to 2channel. If it works like my zoom H2N you will get crystal clear in helmet audio and audio from outside the bike. Just in the process of uploading a video about it. You will not regret the audio change.
What is the proper break in for a 2016 RSV4 rr? I'm picking one up with less than 100 miles on it. Are there any factory restrictions like the s1000rr that dealer assistance is a must? I'm not a big fan of dealerships working on my vehicles.
Ruano09 1st breakin is under 6000rpm for 600 miles. then first oil change. 2nd brewkin is stay under 9000 for 1200 0r 1600 miles. i forget. sounds like you got a steal of a deal
MOTO PILOT thanks for the info!! And yes I do. Apparently the guy won the bike from a raffle or something but he's not a rider, I'm getting it for $11k!
Did you have any ECU work done to the bike to accommodate the exhaust system? I have a '17 RF and was told in order to put an aftermarket exhaust on it I needed the race ECU or it would throw codes.
Yeah. I just installed my Yoshi Alpha Titanium a few days ago and it gave me an engine light after the first few miles. Maybe they changed something between '16 and '17. I have the race ECU also, but can't get it installed for a few weeks. What did you do with the exhaust valve servo? Mines just tied up for now. Going to remove it completely soon.
WOW! AWESOME SH#T! THE BEAST IT A GRATE NAME!...WELL... BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT SHE IS!...GREAT FOOTAGE BROTHER!...WAS F%$KN AWESOME TO YOU YOU BLOWN BY THOSE SLUGS!...SICK!!...PROUD SUBSCRIBER RIGHT HERE!... ARROW IS A GREAT DESCRIPTION!...SHIT IS ON RAILS!!...GREAT BUILD!...AMAZING GRAFICS!...GREAT JOB BRO!!...IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE THE MASIVE POWER OF A BIKE LIKE THAT....BUT WHEN IT IS UNDER YOU, YOU KNOW AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!...BRAAAP!!
Great review, bro. I have a 2017 Ninja 1000 and I'm contemplating trading it in for the 2018 RSV4 RR. It's a gorgeous bike. Does it generate a lot of heat? I know the Panigale V4S is notorious for running very hot.
Hey bro did you have to get it remapped? I've read in forums that due to the ride by wire system, if you put an aftermarket exhaust there's a lean spot unless you get a race ecu or a remap
Thanks man! I'm still keeping my dream alive of owning one of them beauties and looking at the '16 model specifically (love the old school tach/speedo). Love your VFR project man, got one myself. Keep making them awesome vlogs brother!
Lucky...thats obviously an amazing machine and Im sure will sound amazing. But for me I like the more aggressive styling and bolder graphics of the RSV4.
MOTO PILOT Use your mic if you can plugged direct into the zoomh4 set it to 96khz 24bit, low cut on, comp/limiter to studio and set to 2channel. If it works like my zoom H2N you will get crystal clear in helmet audio and audio from outside the bike. Having it in this setup will use your mic and the mics on the zoom. Just in the process of uploading a video about it. You will not regret the audio change.
MOTO PILOT Yes that's the adapter you will need. Then plug your mic in the zoom set too 2 channel. That way it uses your in helmet mic and the mics on the zoom.
MOTO PILOT I use the Hero 4 black and thieye t5. Good thing about this setup is it doesn't matter what camera your using as the zoom does all the audio and it's always going to be better than what comes from the cameras.
nice review I f all goes okay it ll be my next bike this year , best seating position of all the 1000. s. I. m 1,85 cm Coming of a tuned zx6 r , i ll still miss the high rev haul /boost a bit I reckon .
This Trex sliders are junk. My bike fell over and the next day I notice the puck was upside down. Well, just from falling over the bolt snapped and left the threads inside my engine mount. Not fun to say the least.
vvsousa for EU most definitely, but for the US and where MP lives, quite short. I put 15,000 mi (24k km) in just 7 months of riding this year and I was staying right by MP, and later in Northern California. Distances here are quite large to get anywhere compared to europe or even other places in the US. Still worth it since the RSV4 is amazing, but V4 engine valve checks and adjustments are very time consuming especially if you like to do it yourself.

I just picked up a 2012 RSV4 with a Werkes exhaust and I absolutely love it, almost as much as my R1.
I have a 2014 RSV4 Factory and I painted the wheels red. It can be tricky powder coating sports bike wheels, especially if they're forged. The powder coaters oven runs around 500 degrees. If they do not accurately control the oven's temperature, you could get into a temperature range that will 'anneal' the wheel and metallurgically damage it. Possibly resulting in failure. The RR's wheels are cast, so it's less susceptible to potential damage, but it's worth a google. Nice bike! Love mine
I could listen to that gorgeous sound all day!!!!
Beautiful Bike brother. It competes right up there with my BMW S1000RR.
BMW can match performance, but not the sound or style
I'm starting to like that sound
My first bike was ban 84 interceptor 750 with a wolf header and kerker exhaust, it sounded like a CR 500, lots of tickets on that bike!!!!!
Cool beans bro... I had an interceptor 750.
Crashed in '85, 6.5weeks coma... some idiot's U-turn stopped my bike, I kept going.
Old news! New news: life starts at 150!
I💌Aprilia RSV4 RF. Can't keep an ole man down.
One of the best custom mods that I have seen!
In regards to gearing... A buddy of mine wanted to go up 2t on the rear of his '14 RSV4 and I had just changed the chain and gearing on the rear sprocket on my Shiver. I ended up giving him my stock 44t rear and he said the change was exactly what he needed.
The great thing about Aprilia is the parts interchangeability is fantastic. Until very, very recently, their mid-to-high output bikes have tended to share any parts that aren't performance specific, like chains, sprockets, cush drive, rotors, etc... I put a set of Tuono V4R forks with Brembo calipers on the front of my Shiver and it all bolted right up, aside now having to take the fender off to put it on a headlift stand since the front end is a bit shorter. Does give faster turn in, though.
Sounds brilliant. I have the same exhaust on my 2017 Yamaha R1. Very loud and aggressive sound. Love it!
Damn you Moto Pilot... you are gonna cost me so much money, I want rsv4 in my garage right next to my 600 and 750 towering over them both. Great videos brotha ✌️
I've just discovered your channel. Watched a pile of content. What absolute top quality. As for your Aprilia - speechless OMG.
Hey Dave, thanks for the great comments. Welcome aboard, thanks so much for your support and hope you enjoy the ride. Love having you on board. MP
Oh yeah, the punch at the start was hilarious!
Great looking bike and I love the custom work you've done! The RSV4 is one of my dream bikes, congrats.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Wish you many happy adventures.
Been working on a house outside all day for the last few day and keep hearing a v4 I'm sure. Haven't caught a glimpse yet but I'm almost sure it's an RSV4. Such a beautiful sound!
Keep the RSV4 videos coming, love the way you modded it. Very tastefully executed! Looks like you're in SoCal maybe I'll run into you one day!
The sound from this thing is mind boggling.
Rock on bro. See you at the track or somewhere else. I just pulled the trigger on an RSV4 RF LS.
Its still in it's box and that's okay...
cuz my safety equipment is just leaving revzilla today!
Two years of ownership, and I still have a work of art. Nothing needs upgrading but gonna do exhaust cuz warranty is over... Ha Ha... Italian warranty?🤔😂🤣 But really they did fix stuff, like my horn needed connecting.
I💌my RSV4 RF.
Been to Autobahn CC raceway for labor day weekend for two years. Damn this is life!
Grattan raceway 1 lap sub 1:50. Not bad for a 57 year old... See:
ruclips.net/video/MPZ5PTx7Ass/видео.html
try the gp shift conversion, I did it on my rf ,These bikes are amazing,
Sir...I really like the color choices made. I really like the new look. It still has that "pilot" feel. Good work and be safe.
Congrats on the new machine moto super great bike!
Dude it sounds soooooo gooooood!!!! Congrants on the new bike and sponsors bud!
Chipster .28 Thanks bud. I'm stoked
Orgasm to your ears lmao!
Moto Pilot...Kudos for the new bike...helmet...attitude!
See you around Lake Hills and Calico Rd!
Kevin Ho Yeah buddy. thanks
that sound is sick. great bike man
Love this awesome sound dude. Very nice bike! 😎✌️
Dude my T Rex clutch cover wouldn't fit on mine and it rubs against the frame :/ Very good review and I love the mods!
The Muscle Biker Let TRex know. Great people. MP
Yeah I sent them videos and everything and they said I didn't know how to install it. I've done valve adjustments and everything to do with a bike so I know I'm not crazy haha I even had friends try to install it on and it won't fit. Did you ever flash your ECU? Get it done by Gabro Racing Team it changes the bike in so many different ways!
Awesome video. Aprilia is beasting lately. but DAMN, look at those chicken strips. Don't like taking corners? Or are those brand new shoes?
Amazing bike, Bro! Love that sound!!
This was one fookin epic vid man =)
That bike is absolutely gorgeous bravo 👌🏻👌🏻
great video and great bike :)
makes me miss my old RSV4 :(
Lol you were riding in the city I used to live in back when I was in Cali haha that’s awesome.
Great vid man....Just bought a 2013 RSV4 Factory myself, and am looking to replace the cheesy looking Leo Vince pipe it currently has, with a CW pipe as well....Been looking for full length ride vids that really show what the pipe sounds like under "real world" riding conditions...A big plus was that you're running the db killer.....I wanted to hear what it sounds like with that installed, as that's probably how I'll run mine most of the time. Keep up the good work! ;)
Love that bike. Looks killer.
Your Bike looks incredible man !
I'd definitely put the gp pipe on!
Haha same! Love it loud!
Nicest bike I have ever seen, love what u have done to it
Can you put the link for the levers?. They look awesome man!
Wicked bike. Ride safe. Fellow Ape owner.
love what you've been doing with your channel. keep it up bro
I like all the reasons you love the bike for, especially the sound and the frame, but the quality control and maintenance can be painful compared to a Kawi, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha.

beautiful bike .Drive save, happy rides brother
That thing looks and sounds amazing !
Rick Wall Thank you, fine sir. MP
woow the bike looks very clean. good job and keep it up.
Dude every time I ride "what are all these people doing out here?? Fuck!!" Totally relatable. Everybody stay the fuck home so we can ride!
Awesome ride u got there! Quick question...u mentioned Ebay when talking about ur levers. Can u tell me who makes em? Thanks in advance and take care!
Great Vid Moto Pilot. Really enjoying your work. Cool modifications on your bike. It looks great. I have a new 17' Tuono. I use it much the same way as you do. The higher revs are almost unusable on a public road without the fear of your license bursting into flames!
Great bike buddy.. awesome color and stickers scheme, the sound of it makes goose bumps!
The AGV helmet was also a perfect match ;)
How did you mount the Gopro right in the middle by the way?
\m/ Ride in peace bro
Hellishrider Thanks. just used a sticky go pro mount. Theres a flat surface there. MP
Brilliant bike, great video, more exaust sounds!
A7madTSH And more cow bell. lol
Love that sound! Beautiful bike!
You need to go do a track day after you break it in, you'll love it! I'm going this weekend to do my mine on my 2017 Kawasaki ZX-10R!
You are totally right. The only way to truly unleash the Beast! MP
Very nice bike, what brand of levers did you get that was from ebay?
sick helmet man , love new bike
You could adjust the sag it will drop the suspension down by 1.5"
MP, all your additions are so tasteful. I don't know much about Aprilia bikes in general. Italian made right? Is this a rival bike to an R1-M? H2? What advantages does it have vs a Japanese made SS? Your gear is smooth too. Does the new helmet have led's? (very cool looking at night.) Thanks for educating me. Btw, I don't ride anymore, but I get the whole V4 unexplainable power thing. (My one and only bike was an off the floor V65 Sabre.) ☮️
Chuck Mastin Hey Chuck. The RSV4 isnt quite at the H2 power level. its somewhere between standard 1000s and the H2. MP
awesome bike, my wet dream bike :D
just the stock gearing sucks compared to other 1000 cc, way too "top end" oriented, but I can see what Aprilia has tried to do with the rsv4 (track oriented bike)
Very very beautifull bike !!!! (Design and sound ..!!!!)
Very nice upgrades, bravo. Best bike atm, maybe Tuono. The 1100 next year...daunting!
2:36 This is a shadow or badly welded frame?(left side)
I love riding on Cajalco!
I have that same pipe on my new Tuono factory and literally have to wear ear plugs! It’s definitely a cool looking pipe, but just to loud for me.
dude i wanted to ask you what kind of levers those were. they look so sick
Grim214 Some generic brand on ebay. Search n u shall find 😁
Hey Moto Pilot...know that road well....used to go around Lake Matthews all the time down to the 15 long before there was much population that there is now.
I live on the east coast now but took my RF around Palomar and 74 In Palm Desert last year....sure beats the days of the 84 Ninja and FJ11OOs...my 96 gixxer 750 was fairly sweet though but cannot compare w/ the modern stuff like our Aprilias....
if I make it out there again w/my RF I will try and give you a Shout out...nice customization by the way....Now you need to upgrade the suspension.!!!!
if interested, I could sell you my RF rear as I upgraded to keep up w/the 17 model.
CIAO!!!
Frankly I ride my Ape just to listen to it. SC Project gp can just screams!
Love this bike and this look
Hey brother nice video. I’m hopefully about to get my hands on my very first Rsv4. I’m coming off a Z650 naked bike. How would you say the transition was between the naked and your Aprilia?
Very cool bike, are you going to SCMM? It would be cool to see the bike. 👌
Silversurfer Tim I think so. I should be there. Making a video about it soon. MP
Looks great. I agree about the gearing. I changed mine to a 15 tooth sprocket and it made things just like you want. Wheelies a little easier too.
What gear are you wheeling in buddy?
2013 RSV4 Factory. It was a real pain to get around in any traffic. Changing the 16 T counter sprocket to a 15 T changed it enough to make things good. It won't do 180 with that gear but you'll like it.
Also, I installe a full akrapovic exhaust and opened up the race map. That made things much smoother....better.
Just discovered ur channel! Its awesome! 2 Thumbs up on ur bike. Looks great n sounds great. I had a Ducati Monster M900 with full Termignoni Pipes, that thing woke the dead!

Ruano09 1st breakin is under 6000rpm for 600 miles. then first oil change. 2nd brewkin is stay under 9000 for 1200 0r 1600 miles. i forget. sounds like you got a steal of a deal
MOTO PILOT thanks for the info!! And yes I do. Apparently the guy won the bike from a raffle or something but he's not a rider, I'm getting it for $11k!
Ive also got a gixxer 1000 and love it,Lower and more comfortable, just ordered some badass levers for it and then frame sliders.Rocket
Did you have any ECU work done to the bike to accommodate the exhaust system? I have a '17 RF and was told in order to put an aftermarket exhaust on it I needed the race ECU or it would throw codes.
luvs2race370 I had the slip on for weeks with no codes. But now I have the race ECU
Yeah. I just installed my Yoshi Alpha Titanium a few days ago and it gave me an engine light after the first few miles. Maybe they changed something between '16 and '17. I have the race ECU also, but can't get it installed for a few weeks. What did you do with the exhaust valve servo? Mines just tied up for now. Going to remove it completely soon.

Matt Koontz Hey bud, thanks for the support. Lets Ride!
I had to re watch the intro lmfao im dying!
Great review, bro. I have a 2017 Ninja 1000 and I'm contemplating trading it in for the 2018 RSV4 RR. It's a gorgeous bike. Does it generate a lot of heat? I know the Panigale V4S is notorious for running very hot.
Get the RSV4. it will ignite your senses. They can generate some heat....around 215 on hot days but its worth it. Sound n power galore
just picked up a 2016 with no miles...100 miles in with moderate 70's temps feels fine
What helmet is that ? I'm wearing glasses too and need some help with this..
Vegan Motovation one of the AGV models with stickers added
Again brother amazing. Could you help me out with the link for the levers you got for it? Thanks again and take care.
You will love these for an insane $30. How do they do this? Sweat shops?
tinyurl.com/y9m957du
MOTO PILOT Thanks again brother, again appreciate the help and as always good stuff. Take care.
where did you get you're helmet custom ?
TeamCs27 I designed the stickers and had ZLT make them. Their website is in video description.
this is a beautiful bike
Hey bro did you have to get it remapped? I've read in forums that due to the ride by wire system, if you put an aftermarket exhaust there's a lean spot unless you get a race ecu or a remap
Race ECU. Though Competition Werkes claimed it didn't need mapping
Thanks man! I'm still keeping my dream alive of owning one of them beauties and looking at the '16 model specifically (love the old school tach/speedo). Love your VFR project man, got one myself. Keep making them awesome vlogs brother!
Its gonna be my next bike once i had done on my supersport. It roars !
Sound and look is great, well done.
Ducati will get V4 next year :) i am going to buy the new V4 Panigale :) omfg i cant wait !!!
Lucky...thats obviously an amazing machine and Im sure will sound amazing. But for me I like the more aggressive styling and bolder graphics of the RSV4.
MOTO PILOT Use your mic if you can plugged direct into the zoomh4 set it to 96khz 24bit, low cut on, comp/limiter to studio and set to 2channel. If it works like my zoom H2N you will get crystal clear in helmet audio and audio from outside the bike. Having it in this setup will use your mic and the mics on the zoom. Just in the process of uploading a video about it. You will not regret the audio change.
Excellent advise. We all seem to struggle with audio at times. I'll for sure check that out. Probably even get a better mic that uses the H2N. MP
MOTO PILOT Smart lav plus from road with the adapter works great.
So I need the TRRS to TRS adapter? A cool $100 but I'm sure worth it. Will this same setup work with Go Pro's? Hero 3+ and 4.
MOTO PILOT Yes that's the adapter you will need. Then plug your mic in the zoom set too 2 channel. That way it uses your in helmet mic and the mics on the zoom.
MOTO PILOT I use the Hero 4 black and thieye t5. Good thing about this setup is it doesn't matter what camera your using as the zoom does all the audio and it's always going to be better than what comes from the cameras.
Did you get a race icu before the exhaust the dealership told me I need a race ecu before I put a slip on on my 2017
Your dealer is correct
Loved the backpack mic bit
Lake Hills area in Riverside! I'm in Orangecrest! We should go for a ride!
nice review
I f all goes okay it ll be my next bike this year , best seating position of all the 1000. s.
I. m 1,85 cm
Coming of a tuned zx6 r , i ll still miss the high rev haul /boost a bit I reckon .
Do you have to get a race ECU or reflash your stock one with that shorty or race slip on?
Ruano09 Acv No. According to Competition Werkes
What did u do with the exhaust valve?
This Trex sliders are junk. My bike fell over and the next day I notice the puck was upside down. Well, just from falling over the bolt snapped and left the threads inside my engine mount. Not fun to say the least.
Can you put a slip on exhaust without losing performance, just got the 17 rr they said don't do that until I get the racing ecu that's alot
Do a vid on the rsv4 triple headlights function like high and low beam modes
R- for race or road? T- track and S for sports ?
Absolutely gorgeous!
any concerns about motor longevity on the bike? The service intervals are short, and pricey! Yikes. I love me the RS4 for sure, though.
No concerns that I know of. Gotta pay to play! lol
The service is 10000km. Not short
vvsousa for EU most definitely, but for the US and where MP lives, quite short. I put 15,000 mi (24k km) in just 7 months of riding this year and I was staying right by MP, and later in Northern California. Distances here are quite large to get anywhere compared to europe or even other places in the US. Still worth it since the RSV4 is amazing, but V4 engine valve checks and adjustments are very time consuming especially if you like to do it yourself.
First basic service was 600 miles. 2nd service with valve check is 12,000 miles (19,312 km). I think the price of that will scare me. MP
Japanese bikes are less km
Clean bike man
