I swapped my brakes master on same tuono model as this for a Brembo corsa corta 19 rcs and the difference is massive also motul RBF600 brake fluid too it just needs a radial brake line adapter from HEL to be able to use the original lines but as i say the brakes actually now work as they should and are consistent which standard are pretty poor
Your happy running motul 300v for a year in the bike ? I always thought (wrongly it would appear) that 300v was the racy stuff the very best if your raging the absolute crap out of a tuned engine at high temperature but the quid pro quo was you had to change more often? I use motul 7100 and do circa 10-15 trackdays + road riding a year (BWMS1000r) always thought 7100 was a better option for me. Currently change every six ish track days but let it sit all winter. Would be very interesting to hear your thouyghts on oil maybe another vlog 🙂 Interested to see if you've ever tested the used oil. PS ..love the channel 🙂
It would be interesting to get some oils analysed after a chunk of miles, so I might take up your suggestion! 300v is a more race developed oil, but still very good quality and will tolerate my road bikes as well as my track use
@@obsession_engineering Oil analysis stuff would be really interesting. it could help save lots of cash for track day/club race folk slavishly changing very frequently and reduce environmental impact. A tech "nerd" (I mean this in a good way as a fellow nerd 🙂) such as yourself would be the perfect person for this.
Considering you run the bike on track, im surprised you run a coolant instead of straight water, but then saying that, if it does live on the road too and used in all weathers, coolant wouldnt hurt
It puzzles me that people are so afraid of putting mileage and riding their bikes in the rain. So many sellers in the marketplace make it a point to brag about their low mileage and bike never seeing the rain. What's the point of buying a bike then?
Nice how to video. At this rate even I may feel confident enough to tackle; ooo, I dunnow, maybe adjust my chain!!! 😆 Notice you running Michelin Road 6 tyres. I was told by my friendly tyre fitter guy that that is what I am getting when I tried to buy another brand. He said, "yur no gettin' them as they are crap. Here have these Michelin's. That's the tyre fur yoo!!" Must say I think he is probably right. Any thoughts? I do like an expert that tells you when you are wrong.🤔
The Tuono is less stressed than the RS so generally has less issues, and the later 1100 bikes had most of the niggles sorted. They really aren't as bad as people say!
Great Video!! I'll make this my next project. I have a 2016 Tuono V4 and the engine tapping noise is loud. After the valve is being adjusted will the tapping noise completely go away? Help me to learn !! Thanks!
Good stuff as I have just acquired one of these today and their a bit of an unknown to me, like the oil drain plug & my bike has no oil level window 😢 but has a dipstick that took me a little while to notice😅 i want to check air filter and looks a bit of a pain, I'm surprised you didn't use k&n air filter oil just to keep it looking pink 😅 obsessive?
Hi Dave what do you think is a good interval for changing paper air filters? My modern Yamaha owners manual have them lasting 24000 miles which I think is too much. They also only change oil filter every other service (so 12000 miles) which again, I think is too much. It does beg the question, why is main dealer servicing so expensive when it is (usually) just an oil change and a few checks? I change both every year when I service bikes myself. I only use cheapo Hiflo ones but I would rather have a fresh cheapy in the bike for 6000 miles max than a genuine OEM left in for too long. Who is right and who is wrong?
The manufacturers will have done a lot if research and development to decide on their figures, more than I could ever do. Saying that, it's better to change more often than not enough! I'd expect most air filters on road bikes to do 12k miles, and nothing wrong with hiflo filters at all. Oil filters I'd change every year, or every oil change. Not like they'll break the bank
They fidget when they've had enough of going fast, and the rear can be made to spin quite easily, but for a road tyre the track grip is surprisingly good
@@obsession_engineering Thanks for the reply. How have you found the reliability of the Aprilia? I have a Yamaha XSR900 currently but am looking to buy a used RSV4 if I can find a good one.
Thanks for the detailed explanations. The more maintenance tutorials for these awesome bikes, the better.
Dave don't know if you noticed but at 18mins 39 secs in the video you can see air box screw is not fully tight.
Cracking weekend from Franco, let’s hope the momentum keeps going 👊
Great stuff, Wavey. Just a superb channel. Really enjoying the variety of workshop & racing stuff. Go Franko!! Much appreciated. 👍
Surprised you haven't got some guards on those coolers Dave.
Good stuff! Good tip about the chain tensioner. Hate messing with them.
Not too bad as V4s go, good tutorial Dave 👍🏻
Veeery nice video, thank you sir
Well explained & executed Dave! A champion of motorcycle maintenance & Zen.
I think I will call you Motul Man!
Cheers
My motul rep will be most pleased 😁
This is gold.
Top entertainment Dave your TH-cam videos are a special good to have a quick chat with you at tt best of luck for the rest of the season 👍👍
Class Davey good feeing once it’s all done and done correctly everything checked ✅ and thorough nice job
Great video Davide, ta for the Tshirt, and good luck to you lads at Snett!
PS. "MOTULMAN!!" PMSL!
i do like a good tinker
👍

Great vid but I doubt I'll be doing my valve clearances with my selection of hammers .
Do you not have the Italian glass hammer, it can be used carefully for the clearances
😂😂Sadly not, I'll have to get one .
Cheers for the tip.
Brilliant vids from a guy who obviously know his stuff 😊
Evening Dave…..a little less hectic video for once…..that’ll all change in a week or so….lol 👍😳😉👌🇮🇲
excellent, thank you. :)
I wish i was mechanically gifted .

Maybe next year you can get those radiators vapor blasted.
👏👏🙌
Looks easier than doing a Desmo shims
It is!! 😁

Loving the variety of vids recently. Also, will you have any merch available at Snetterton?
I'll try to remember to pack some merch!!

They're a great tyre, loads of wet grip, loads of mileage and surprisingly good on track, as long as you don't take the mickey
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’d love a Tuono but everyone tells me I’m in for world of pain reliability wise. What are your thoughts Dave?
The Tuono is less stressed than the RS so generally has less issues, and the later 1100 bikes had most of the niggles sorted. They really aren't as bad as people say!
Had my 2019 factory 2 years now no issues at all ! You just need to treat her with love and lots of super unleaded 😂
Great Video!! I'll make this my next project. I have a 2016 Tuono V4 and the engine tapping noise is loud. After the valve is being adjusted will the tapping noise completely go away? Help me to learn !! Thanks!
Some of the v4 engines are always noisy, especially at tick over as there's lots of gear drives without silencing gears

The tyres look like Michelin road 6's how do you find those on your track days? Presumably wet grip is pretty good, but dry?
They fidget when they've had enough of going fast, and the rear can be made to spin quite easily, but for a road tyre the track grip is surprisingly good
Would this process also apply to the older 1000cc V4 Aprilias like a 2013 RSV4?
Yes, the engines have only had detail updates since the original rsv4
