On my NC700 and on many other bikes, I've used HealTech's SpeedoHeeler.

2014 Aprilia Tuono V4 APRC/ABS (street missile) 2017 KTM RC390 (track bike) 2007 BMW R1200GS (has replaced the NC)

No no I was referring to an RSV4 stock length. Not a 2nd Gen Tuono. Anyhow, yes, the V4 Aprilia shocks are much better than the V2 Aprilia shocks.

You could just ask me :). Stock is set at 305mm most people adjust it to 309mm. I think minimum is 300mm. Problem is it has an attached reservoir and doesn't quite fit under. The 2nd Gen Tuono or RSV (2 cylinder models) are emulsion tube and do fit.

If you set your "race sag" to the amount you are looking for, and you find that you have very little or no "unladed" or "free" sag, that means that the springs are too soft for your weight. Essentially what is happening is you are having to add so much preload to the spring (stiffness) to...

I sold it. Was a great bike for the last 6 years. Probably the best, yet most under appreciated bike I ever owned. Yet the one I put the most miles on.

Exactly what I was hoping to hear.

Congrats! You'll enjoy it, that's for sure.

Most of the knobbies you find aren't going to be in a 17". You can run a 120/60 or a 120/70 up front, and I'd be willing to bet you can even squeeze a 110/70 on the front. As far as the rear, you can run up to a 160 width rear tire, but you can also run a 150/60 or 150/70. Remember, if you...

The stock gearing on my '12 NC was a little lacking, so I went with the 39T rear sprocket and that helped quite a bit. Now I can run 80-85mph all day long, still get 55mpg+ and have plenty left in it to accelerate and get around something if needed. It still won't do much more than 105 though...

I took the rear shock off and sold it to a fellow forum member! .....and I posted the bike for sale locally. :(

Yeah I ran the rack for years, with an auxiliary fuel tank and never once felt anything behind me. I also never ran a locking gas cap, but then again I guess I've never worried much bout someone siphoning my gas?

^^^^ What he said. I used mine for commuting for the past few+ years, and put over 40,000 miles on mine. That feeling of wanting more isn't crazy though and I actually did just recently move to a bigger bike to make my commute a little "more fun" and to also fill in the in-between time when...

You can do it man. Go for it! Read that thread in full as there's some good information and tricks that aren't listed when I initially posted - both by me and others. And as the others said, get angled feeler gauges or commit to bending your feeler gauges and being okay with it -- and do...

Cee Baileys or OEM Honda "Tall." In my opinion, of course.

I was looking at that exact model machine. Would you say it's worth it and the quality you had expected?

$25 per wheel, if they are off the bike.

The shocks changed in 2009 when Aprilia moved to the "V4" engine and brand new frame. Most of us who run this Tuono shock run a pre-2008 shock from an RSV or Tuono.

Yes. Brian Bartlow is a local road racer / dirt racer who has taught and helped many many riders in the area and beyond in both disciplines. You won't be disappointed.

.... rode to work, as usual. Haha. She's got about 6,000 miles on this oil so I decided to check the level - yup, still fine and good to go. Rear tire has a small air leak out of the valve stem I think, so gonna have to replace that when it's time for a new tire, but that won't be for quite a...
