Aprilla RSV4 R, Bad Start
12/24/09 6:46 AM

Just reading the 2010 Aprilia RSVR R has motor issues. Ouch. In front of the world press, the Motor let go. Some one is going to wake up with a horses head in their bed for that little screw up. lol. As it turns out the conrod snapped due to bad machining from a outside vendor. Hole is drilled off center . 1000 bikes with Bad motors. I hope you don't get one of those.

If we pool the money, rotate the bike to the next lucky time-share holder. Don't crash it. Don't blow it up. The dime is on you to send it forward like brand new... Oh, you didn't read 'the find print'????

I wanna be like Slow, go backwards in tech, buy an '08 Aprilia leftover, sitting at that dealer's window, causing a new paint scheme to happen called, "sun fade"; it has my name on it.

Check swing arms. Check the white hanger board or watt looks like an electric box, between the clutch casting and the white board. Check the 2 sunk ECU trays under the seat. Lots of telemetry.

Can you imagine a V-4 from the Big4? That Suzuki TL-R configuration had some motor. Tried to beat the Duc 916. Had good top end. TL-S was detuned and there was your bottom torque; preset below. What a perfect wheelie bike, if I remember. Imagine accelerating faster than the 14. What an engine note it must have. I sure rang out that TL's crank to hear that note on road tests.

You, you lucky dog, master. No problems, you say. I like!

And to make mention; The magazine intro bikes blew up, having a slight out of center machined hole or something out of true. It was maybe a first run of a, pre-manufactured 3-dimensional defect, not the 2-dimensional paper trail as if the engineering has a flaw; seeing n-master has zero problems from year to year.

Funny, because last night my nephew calls, asking about swapping a shovehead into his frame? I said yes, we can even use the late model trans and shoe in that '08 V-4 I keep hounding him about [in the window]; that Aprilia looking and sounding good, all chopped in his frame screaming past the, "Panheads."
