Try again man, youre works were lacking you that day

Yes there's a bunch of aftermarket exhaust options. I have a full Silmoto titanium RXV/Enduro exhaust on mine. There's also a free software called XV Tuner that allows anyone with a PC to tune these bikes. You just need a special cable to interface between the laptop and bike.

Yes and yes

@@jwwerner32 J if they are asking, then they dont know….. terry dont do anything to take a risk without telling me when I can get my new 550 from XD

I wouldn't buy one now unless it had very low miles on a Noland rebuild. They can't be rebuilt anymore due to parts availability, so they're all destined to become paper weights eventually.

And if you do find small particals in oil filter,this means you have to say buy,buy to the engine??

or i need do both catcher and that line like you?

Ya man sorry I just saw this but you can leave your number and I’ll give ya a call if you still need advise

RVX is the Enduro version. Subtle difference with gear ratios, suspension, tyres, swing arm and mapping etc.

You need to get your SXV tuned properly. I've never replaced a starter in 10 years of owning my 550. Allen tuned my bike when he rebuilt my motor. It'll idle without chattering at 1,600 rpm once warm.

No problem. Now I know a lot more info so a new video is coming soon

@@p20dirtrider damn man, how much did it cost to ship the engine over to the UK and back? Genuinely curious as I'll need to do the same at some point once mine arrives from the UK

@@bmwm3man it expensive. DHL got it done in a week and it was about 750$ in total there and back

@@p20dirtrider oh that's decent man. I was expecting like 1500 USD or something. $750 is definitely doable. Did you put the engine back in yourself or get a mechanic to do it for you?

@@bmwm3man if your mechanical then you will probably be fine. When I removed the engine I left as much hanging in place as possible. Take pictures or a video also so you have a good idea of how it was in prior. I have a small hoist and hung it from my garage ceiling and that helped out. Also having a second pair of hands when putting the engine bolts back in would be nice. All and all you have to take your time and go slow. There's a ton of connections and hoses that you don't want to forget to tighten. Also I replaced old fuel lines while I was in there. Overall I did it in under two days/about 10 hours Total

Get the xv tuner cable of eBay or join the Facebook page to buy one

What maintenance interval of some typical service items you would recommend?

Unfortunately he actually made a mistake on my engine and the fly wheel bolts came loose, no locktite was applied. Anyway he's retired now from Aprilia. Your best bet is a guy in the UK. His name is Paul cal Calvert. He just rebuilt mine. Very good price but shipping can be expensive. Total with shipping was 2800

Mine is a 2007, I'm gonna do a much more informative update soon

@@p20dirtrider I am thinking of buying a 2006 RXV 550 and turn it into a Supermotard. I know that I will have to get the seals check as this is an issue with the earlier models. Last question, how does the bike feel as you rev-up say from 2000 RPM through to 4000RPM. Is it linear, that is is it a smooth acceleration or do you find like on my Ducati Hypermotard 939 that it is abrupt, mainly due to the EU emissions exhaust control. Much Appreciated

@@arthurbalado6022 so the power of the bike can be very usable but that's dependent on your tune, gearing and also the cam on the throttle it's self. Also the bike is a rever and doesn't like anything under 4500 unless at idle

@@p20dirtrider Many thanks for the feedback Champ. The reason that I asked was that I like a bike that is smooth on the throttle, specially for Moto Gymkhana. Here is a link of what these riders can do in the rain. ua-cam.com/video/0V9GVXydp3c/v-deo.html Check it out it is simply awesome. Thanks once again

So they solved pretty much all the issues but now parts availability is getting my scarce. In my opinion it's still worth having one for joy rides but not commuting. I'm going to be making a new video soon explaining some things I wish I knew now after a year or so of owner ship.

2000 km's doesn't mean anything, it should be torn apart anyway. You can get it if you know a mechanic that knows this bike, not just a dude that knows bikes, but this bike specifically. Parts are hard to come by. There are many know-how's that will take hundreds of hours to learn and thousands of dollars if you don't. Plenty of places to screw up even during basic maintenance. If you have time and patience (and money) then it's truly amazing and epic bike

If I were you I would pull off your stator cover and check the fly wheel Alan bolts to make sure they are all torqued. Mine came on done and bolts went into my stator and basically destroyed my perfectly good running bike because copper went everywhere

@@p20dirtrider same happened to me few years ago, it's a common fault. Torque or glue them them all you want, they will come loose, just punch in edges of bolts so they cannot rotate. If anyone is reading this and hasn't done it already - do it, takes 20 mins tops, way faster and cheaper than rebuilding the engine

@@p20dirtrider just happened to me. Engine is out now

So I would not recommend it as a daily commuter. It's not because the bike is incapable of being reliable. It's more due to the nature of the current parts available for it. They are becoming hard to find. Also if it's stop and go traffic your bikes going to be getting very hot and that's not good for it. With that said I ride my bike almost every weekend and have put about 1000 miles on it with basically no issues at all.

@@p20dirtrider ok thank you very much

I mean long can be interpreted in many ways but for example I take a couple trips up to the mountains every year and do about 200-300 miles over a weekend. That to me is a long ride and not ideal for this bike because of the amount of fuel it holds lol but I wouldn't want to ride anything else.

They're uncomfortable as s..t when cruising. They're not at all economical.

At this point in the game if you find a Aprilia sxv 550 of any year it's most likely been rebuilt and resealed the correct way or it's blown up lol. Either way once the work is done every model is just about the same and it doesn't make a difference. Unless of course your buying it and it's never been touched it will need work forsure.
