- Dave's had the Tuono a year and a half now, and has finally managed to break it. So it's a golden opportunity to fix it and upgrade it.
The forks are getting treated to some better pistons and the known issue with the electrical generator is getting sorted.
Join Dave as he talks you through each step to making a better bike
For enquiries about the rotor upgrade email Dominik at schmutzi1990@gmail.com

Jusr realized i subscribed months ago but didn't hit the bell notification so now i have to watch every video to get myself up to date. Fantastic problem to have 😎 this channel is awesome and the reason I'll be giving Bitubo a shot on my next build for next season.
Thanks for positive vibes 😁
Lovely video! Its nice to see the fork all the way taken apart. I never knew where the pistons were and the needles. Thank you very much!!!!
These are so informative Dave. Can’t say thanks enough for your time in doing them. Looking forward to the ride review.
I remember pulling the flywheel to replace the sprag clutch. I actually relived that same joy when you eventually took it off. 😁
Maybe replace the sprag clutch as well (with a KTM one, not the bloody expensive original one) now you're at it.
Oh... man .... do I miss my V2 Tuono... 😖
Great suspension explanation Dave.
I had the same bike for over 4 years and loved it. Only niggle I had was the clutch losing pressure now and again, and a crap back brake.
Great video, I had my ZZR1400 forks upgraded using the same kit, totally transformed the bike.
I just swapped my stock forks for the sachs from a 2018 rsv4rr. Not a cart kit but a very good upgrade.
cheers for the share as always mate. cool.
Really like your videos Dave! For that gentleman down below ,who states that you will demagnetize flywheel by heating it, I don't see otherwise how you can pull it of , without damaging it.While engine operating flywheel anyway choking easily up to 80- 100C° I assume.
Keep em coming Dave!
Very educational. As usual. Good job.
Thank you for the pick / seal idea, i deed to do mine on my gen 2
Interesting stuff Dave.
You are definitely very good!!
After taking about three dozen of these off, I would say that one would be in the poped off easy range.
Oh my! I'll count myself lucky 😁
excellent video !!
Always a fantastic explanation Dave! Will you experiment with 10w oil on these forks at a later stage? What would be the effect? I can’t remember if you used 5w last rebuild?
I always use 5w (unless the oem spec is heavier). Thicker oils tend to be less consistent over temperature changes and cavitate easier. 5w is pretty much the standard for race stuff for that very reason
Dave if you can, please share more details about the derating of the flywheel. The procedure and the cost. I'm not in the mood to pay 1100 for a flywheel so your experience would very much appreciated.
I'll put the contact details for the man doing the rotor work in the description
@obsession_engineering Good day, did this actually work and is the stator still happy with that mod? Is the mod working and do you perhaps have info on using the series R/R instead of shunt? I would like to beat this issue with my bike as the stator is burnt out again.
My bike was banned permanently from a workshop for that 648 green loctite...took him 2 weeks, many tools and a whole lot of fire to get that bastard off.
No danger it'd fall off though 🤣
Nice video. Would it have cost Aprilla that much to have the original suspension made to the K Tech spec? Surely even if they added £100 to each bike it would pay them in the long run to have a brand which had great suspension right out the box?
I'm sure they could have improved them for very little. But to be fair to them they aren't bad forks, I'm just fussy 😁
And of course they did the upgrades in the factory version
Just got my first 2007 tuono and thinking about upgrading the suspension with the k tech kit. How do you fit the rebound needles in to the end of the rods, you mentioned cutting the ends of the rods off but it’s not in the video. Thanks Dave
They're held in place with springs, no solid attachment required
After watching these videos I'm sorely tempted to get one of these for a fun bike. What are the things to look for when buying one?
Cracking bikes! The engines are strong. The charging system is the weak link. The later bikes had most of the niggles fixed and a lot of the earlier ones will have been upgraded by now.
The fuel tanks can swell if cheap fuel is left in too long.
Nothing too scary really, especially for an Italian
@@obsession_engineering thanks Dave
Do you think you could try to explain how adjustment effects feel on a closed circuit track, in different scenarios? Thank you.
Good idea!
Great suggestion!
@4:31 what are those “special pliers” called? Thanks for making these videos!
I'll be honest I'm not sure! I've had them years and can't even remember where I got them, sorry
@@obsession_engineering no problem! Thanks for responding!
Hi Dave just to echo what Xiaomiantonis Antonis asked can you please post details of the chap doing the work on the flywheel Thanks
I'll put the details in the description for you
Did you get details of the chap that did work on flywheel
Great explanation and videos always,did you lock your crank with a specific tool or bolt? if so which size thanks!
There is a crank locking bolt on the Rhs of the motor, modified m8 bolt worked perfectly
I would have thought it would be the stator that needed mod not the flywheel.
I'd have thought so too, but turns out that it's the rotor creating too much magnetism!
Dave's is correct, its the flywheel thats the issue...but the v4 also have issues with burning stator,just 3 times cheaper to have the stator replaced
Which graduation do you have used ? 10w or 5w?
I have bought the silkolene 5w ( 26,7cst at 40°c)
Motul factory line 5w
when you were doing the pushrod seal do you remember what the criteria for the seal was? I'm looking to replace mine but here in America they are very hard to come across, we have lots of generic stores though.
I can't remember the exact seal, but it will be marked on the existing seal and can be cross referenced from the part number
Hi Dave great video as always
What is the cost of the Ktec kit ?
The piston kit is £244
Quite a bit of work to fit though!
Hi ,great vids , I’ve got the same bike and have replaced the clutch oil seal from Aprilia as you say £28, it’s leaking again after 2 years, just wondering if you have got any info we’re I could get 1 like yours 👍
I'll dig out the info when I'm back in the office
dave please i have a question . im doing valves for the first time! my question is my clearance is 0.13-0.15. i can fit a 0.10 -0.15 .and a 0.20 there is more resistance but it still fits. so my question are my valves still to loose sinces i can fit a 0.20. sorry for my noobest lol. love love your videos thank you for all you do !
If a 0.2 fits, but is tight, I'd say the clearance is pretty much 0.2, so a bit loose if its supposed to be 0.15.
.13-.15 seems a very small tolerance, if it's ducati I'd check if there's an 'in service' tolerance as they're sometimes bigger than the 'build' tolerance
Ok first of all I can’t thank you enough for your reply! Ok so I want to make it where a 0.20 doesn’t fit at all and make it where a 0.15 is tight? Again thank you 🙏🏼
Hi. What was involved with changing the needles on the end of the rebound rods? thanks
Actually not much on these forks, as the needles were the same stand out as stock so I just pulled the originals out of the tubes
@@obsession_engineering Hi Dave. is there a trick to that, as they look like they are crimped on to the std needles. or is it litterly, just pull them out?
@@bikerboi1983 A bit late on 2 years after the fact but for anyone else interested I found it best to gently drill out the crimp depressions with a small bit and then twist and pull
@iang2204 figured it out by myself in the end. Cheers for the reply though may help someone else
How are you getting on with the derated rotor Dave?
Still working!
Where can i derate my flywheel? I want my Tuono as reliable as possible?
There is details in the description
@@obsession_engineering thankyou!
I really want to understand about forks Dave, but even with you describing everything, I’m still confused.com
therefore cannot be heated en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie_temperature
Interesting stuff, but as I was looking to reduce magnetism anyway I won't worry this time!
