nice review of the features but agreed it would be way more informative if you showed which buttons were being depressed. thanks to comments, I learned the starter button mode change. :) love my Tuono!
Strange how the power modes make so much sense on this model yet my Factory 1100 must've been lost in translation as it goes like this; SPORT - Road full power max engine braking and softer throttle response, TRACK - Fast road, less engine braking and still for power, RACE - Fast Road or Track, even less engine braking than TRACK. Surely it should say R for Rain, S for Sport/Fast Road and T for Track meaning track! Good ol' Italians!
+9enius AWC is wheelie control. There are three levels of intrusion (with 3 being max intrusion) and essentially when the system detects the front wheel lifting, it mitigates the power so the front comes down again. The system can be fooled with aggressive throttle input, but the front comes up quickly and then comes down just as quickly too making for a pretty gnarly ride. If you're a skilled rider and comfortable with wheelies, then try Level 1 or even switching it off. The idea is to be able to ride hard and float the front wheel without it ever getting too high; you've seen the racers do it all the time. I personally don't see the point of dedicated WC as the traction control has the same effect--as the front comes up, the system detects that the front wheel starts to rotate slower than the rear, and mitigates the power. If TC is calibrated properly the system works well, but again can be fooled momentarily with an aggressive right hand. ALC is launch control. This is where you can hold the throttle wide open but the revs are held at the optimum level for a fast take-off (I forget the actual number) so not at the redline/rev limiter. So you then modulate the clutch as usual for a clean/best getaway, and the launch control then switches off once you're underway. Truly useless on the street, but great for racing. Hope this helps. ~AC
+Arthur Coldwells Thank you so much. I believe with LC, tc and something else is also momentarily disengaged. Also, the bike has an option for real-time calibration. Do you know anything about that?
+9enius I believe you're right about the other control items being disengaged while using LC. The calibration system is awesome, pure and simple. Essentially TC has to be accurately calibrated because the algorithms take into account different tire specs--especially the tire's profile which varies from make to make, even if on the surface they are the same size. So manufacturers calibrate their TC systems to work with the OEM tires... trouble is, if you then decide to switch brands and fit (for instance) Q3s or Super Corsas ...your TC goes out of calibration. That's not to say it stops working entirely, but it's not quite as accurate. However, with the Aprilia electronics you can go into recalibrate mode, ride the bike for 3 miles or so (I think it is) and the system then 'learns' the new sizes and profiles of your tires as fitted, and tweaks the algorithms to suit--making the TC much more effective. Cool eh? Kudos to Aprilia for essentially taking their enormously expensive state-of-art WSBK electronics suite and fitting it to their production bikes--undiluted. This is big $$ racing software ...fitted to showroom bikes for less than 20 grand! Niiiiice. Cheers ~AC
Well yes, that would make sense, of course. This video is now a few years old and things change, so I'm not sure what the latest models use and if Aprilia changed, but on this model it was 'T' for track mode and 'R' for road... When I first rode the bike I assumed they stood for 'Race' and 'Touring', so I was surprised when I felt it was the other way round LOL. Wouldn't it be nice if all the manufacturers used the same consistent designations and stuck to them?
Good video, but you didn't show what buttons you pushed to change the display etc. I have a 14 Tuono and would like to see a video of all the functions and what you push and how long to access each mode.
Does it have how much gas left in the tank ? Or range I wish they have more videos showing the information display as well think about when we pull these bikes out of the lot all we want is to nail it off the lot but more information would be great so we don't have to be messing with it on our way home riding you know how 😈
Any chance of showing the button pressed please, can you just add them in the corner like you did at 3.18 min into the vid!
Very informative....and much better than reading the typical Aprilia Owner's Manual.
nice review of the features but agreed it would be way more informative if you showed which buttons were being depressed. thanks to comments, I learned the starter button mode change. :) love my Tuono!
Does anyone know if the Race ECU is intalled, does this eliminate the other maps such as rain etc? Also...HOW DO YOU CHANGE MAPS!? 2013 here

Good video, thanks. Much more clear now after having watched that.
just got the same bike thanks for the lesson
Wait what buttons to change to track/rain? Plz
Yes what buttons do you press to get into the race screen for us dummies
Thanks - that gave me more info than the manual, by far
What if the lauch control is off and i hold + and -. Does it still work or should i enable it first?
so my bike doesn’t have the “+” or “-“ buttons. any suggestions on how to change the aprc settings
The official Aprilia explanation for the ride modes are [R]oad, [S]port, [T]rack. Track mode being the unrestricted map.
These defined letters are different in later models, in this generation of Aprilia. R=Rain, S=Sport and T=Track.
does anyone know how to toggle the bottom section In the street display. I want to change from seeing the odometer and trips
Yea you can turn off quick shifter by pulling in the clutch good one
[R] is NOT rain mode, it's "Road". Ok, so WHICH buttons do you use to toggle between [R]oad, [S]port, or [T]rack?
still wondering this myself
@@italiaman789Me too...... Anyone know ?
@@mooncat.787 it’s the starter button while off throttle
@@italiaman789 Many thanks.
Hey mate do you know how to turn the contraction control off on the Aprilia dorsoduro 900???
Hi ... very good video ... I was wondering where to turn on or off AQS (quick shifter)?
How do I turn off the quick shifter ?
Does this has on dorsiduro 750 2012
Thanks dude
Somebody PLEASE explain what the differences with AWC and ALC 1-3 are.

Haha thanks a ton. God I wish the manuals were this thorough.
+9enius welcome, any time! :)
how to turn off the launch control?
what is the #2 in the black box lower left
Steve Steinlein the RSV4 has two trip clocks. This number refers to the trip details being displayed.
Does anyone know how to turn quickshifter on? PLEASE
It’s always on just for up only not down
I thought R was for race mode?
Well yes, that would make sense, of course.

Good video, but you didn't show what buttons you pushed to change the display etc. I have a 14 Tuono and would like to see a video of all the functions and what you push and how long to access each mode.
The least obvious one for me was using the starter button to change modes (R, S, T)
@@fostytou this comment is why I searched this video thank you!
@@316goons8 Yes, I agree! Not quite enough hand-holding provided from the factory.
Does it have how much gas left in the tank ?

It’s doesn’t show that, only the light will come on and you got around 20 miles left on it
This video didn't really explain much of how of anything
It was disappointing and unfortunately not thoughtfully prepared. And I'm still clueless and will have to figure this crap out over time.
You've not told us how to do anything. What the hell?
