2017 Aprilia Tuono / RSV4 Electronics Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The Aprilia APRC / electronics system is one of the best motorcycle electronic packages available today. The same system is fitted to the RSV4 and Tuono. In this video we test out all of the functions and give an overview of how they all work.
Its talky and quite long this video but I wanted to cover everything properly.

Thank you
LC
Sport, track, race
thats the order from low to high, track and race thrttle response is practically identical, race having less engine braking
Source: my 2016 tuono factory
One more thing: you have a additional display mode: race mode. Push the selector switch 5 seconds to the right --> display will change from road to track. Now you can meassure your laps with the high beam. Afterwards you can check your laps: time, max lean angle, max brakes, ....
so you can just tested it thanks!! Will save me loads of speedo editing also hehe
As you already figured out, the electronics is ready to race. Meaning, that the AWC has to be aggresive or u will do a looping on track.
I´ve turned it off on the road. There is no sence to it on the road. Perfect thing is, that it stays off when you start next time the engine.
If u are going to test the ABS: Level 1 = no cornering ABS, no rear wheel lift control. On good Roads u will have the rear wheel in the air with abs mode 1.
thanks for the info, didn't notice the engine braking changes, will try that out today :)
Just picked-up my 2020 Factory on 9/30!!
You need a glove sponsor so you can get a pair of new gloves. Does that digit get cold? :)
m8 this is the first bike vid I've seen on UA-cam with modern bike switch gear in detail great stuff
what? pit limiter doesnt make the pit limiter sound i.e ba ba ba ba ba ba. Bloody useless!
Great stuff Chops, as you know I've just purchased one of these and the detail on the electronics is much appreciated. As an old guy handling all the digital gizmos can be a bit much sometimes. So, I am working my way through the potential settings on all of these APRC things. Right now everything is set to "full nanny" so I don't get into too much trouble early on. Also, totally agree about the gas gauge, I mean really for $17.5K USD?!!! Looking forward to more of these.
Glad its helped Garey, the electronics on this bike are the best ive ever tried absolutely amazing. In the wet today traction control as perfect!
Imagine going out to your bike and it's not an Aprilia.
Great review, I will be getting mine this weekend, If the power modes are the same as with the 2012 (I currently own)
T= Track
S=Sport
R=Road (rain)
No, mode are different in the 2017 Modell.
Sport
Track
Race
The ranking is:
most engine brake in sport, viewest in race.
most power in low rpm in sport, viewest in race.
that is good to know, give it aprilia to change the setting but label them the same as before.
Great review, very helpful. Just picked-up the 2019 Tuono, couldn't be happier!
Managed to wheelie it in track mode with AWC set to 3, totally mental bike :-)
*SNIFFS REALLY HARD!!* ahhhh yes , the bike that I was about to buy and I ended up getting the 701 instead. Even tho I had enough money but my heart was with getting the 701. :P
My bike's got electronics too! I have one sparkplug, some lights and a CDI.
Mine's even got an alternator, so that you don't have the change the battery every time you go for a ride. It actually charges the battery while you ride. Great, this modern technology!
Ah, I knew I forgot something.
well done LC for getting a press bike, your reviews are breath of fresh air compared with the stuffy or childish reviews that have clogged up Youpoop for the last few years. waiting for the next instalment. im betting your putting alot of effort to get a quality vlogg out.
Thanks Jim really appreciate the feedback! Launch control video next :-)
So, because you don't like the AWC system, you just skip over it instead of actually making your point on why you don't like it by demonstrating how "bad" it is.
Keep em coming! Does it even have a "range" or "miles remaining" as you cycle through the dash? Can't believe they left that one out...
I am really looking forward to the launch control attempt video. Thumbs up!
hehe, should be uploaded tomorrow :-)
some part of the video tells me that u are Dylan Gray..lol..I mean your voice..I subzz!
Both reviews are belters mate .. I'm getting one of these later this year once my current policy ends . Always great content keep it up 👍
thx man! I'm working towards owning a Tuono and these videos are great! Keep'm coming
Just buy it already!! Clearly sportbikes aren't your thing anymore
What's the reliability though? I have a 2017 Fz-10 and have really been kicking around getting this bike for a year or so... I'm looking at the 2017 tuono factory models. Thanks anyone who has one for your future input.
They are god. Its important to have a god dealer also. Im a member in a couple off groups and I dont hear anything bad. Not more than any other bike. They had more problems before this latest V4 configuration. Ive let my italian fear go so this year i had a Ducati Diavel. Driven it 5000km with no problem what so ever and in two days i will trade it for a Tuono Factory.
Started following you a while back and i like your style Chops! This vid is the best explanation of the electronics i've seen yet. No one else seems to go into enough detail. If you get the 1290 Super duke as a loaner i'd be interested in a electronics video just like this one! Keep up the good stuff!
Thanks matey, yes will do the same with the Duke, looking forward to seeing how the electronics compare!
you little ripper Chopsey. I'll watch this soon.
As usual you are the go to guy for what I would call a "normal blokes" review. Made even more interesting to me as I ride all the roads you do. Looking forward to more of the same . Cheers
Thanks AP!
You got to give it to him he gets you as if you’re on the bike, good reviews.
Buying one
Dan T bought a flat black 2019 leftover model new yesterday...I’ve ridden everything with two wheels and this bike hands down is a fucking blast to ride. Leave wheelie control on it’s lowest setting/sport mode and it’s only 7/10 scary as shit.
Super videos at the moment!
I hope the camera on your mirror didn't come off, seemed to just disappear.
Thanks Joshua appreciate that, No I moved it to the fairing hehe, dont worry ive not lost another one :-)
6:00 holy moly!! nice!!
Man this thing is like a space ship. Meanwhile my bike has 0 computer shenanigans haha. Mechanical everything.
You should see if you can take that RSV4 to a local track when you get it next week. Atleast if Aprilia allows you to do that.
Thanks for these great reviews and for the time taking producing them...
Thanks Renato!
this is gonna be 1 hell of a series chops I can't wait for the next lot to come out.
Thanks matey! :-)
Watch a lot of your vids love your reviews. If had a choice between that and the BMW s1000r which one would you choose? Thanks be cool and ride safe with greetings from south London.
Well the Tuono is more expensive but for me the better bike. S1000R still great though but a little dull compared to the Tuono
If I were you I'll choose the BMW S1000R, although I personally did take the Tuono because after selling back to them my S1000RR, I didn't want to deal with BMW people anymore: here in Vienna, there's only ! BMW Motorrad. After trhat, you have to ride a minimun of 120 km to find one. After buying the Tuono, I did compare it to my test drive with 2017 S1000R and you can definetely do more with the bmw: the range alone: 200km before you see a warning lamp. On the Tuono, 151 km (my best so far) before the lamp lights up.
The seat: the Tuono's is hard as a rock (AC/DC fans?). I bought a Comfort/Sport gel seat from Aprilia. A bit better but still testing. The stock S1000R seat is good. I did have a comfort seat on my RR but just because it's 2.3 cm higher (33 inches inseam here) and with the HP (by Gilles Tooling) adjustable footpegs, it was almost perfect.
Apparently, you can only deactivate wheelie control on both machines by shutting the Traction control off. The Aprilia has 3 settings which they could just have left 1 because none of them let you lift the front wheel without being 1 second later put down to the ground.
Why do I regret to have bought the Tuono? Freedom: you can't just put any exhaust on it (2017): you'll need the official Akra (+ or - 1,000 euros) or the race ECU (900 euros) and any other exhaust PLUS the corresponding fuel map. The stock exhaust sounds great tho but it's ugly and being ready to change will cost you a lot of money, taking into account that the bike ain't cheap.
The fueling is horrible in the city: you have to feather the clutch for anything below 40 km/h, where the city speed limit is 50. On B roads and on the highway, it's a phenomenal bike. For commuting, the bmw is better.
fantomas3030 have u still got the Tuono , I bought Bmw s1000r spirt this year and all going g good 5000 kms jyst comming up on it now , the dealer network is what turns me from buying one of these , there is no official dealer here in Ireland yet but I was looking at one in my local bike shop the other day & I liked the looks of the Tuono I’m just wondering would it handle day to day commuting on back roads here in Ireland , I’m guessing there would be great character from the v4 engine & mauve more is a fun factor but kinda worried about the reliability etc ,what is the warranty like etc with aprilia ? Sorry for s the questions but love to get a run down on them from an actual owner thanks
track bikes dont need fuel gauges ;) All the bells and whistles except the 'essentials'. Knowing how far you can go is okay, but for reassurance, a fuel gauge would be nice. But im guessing, watching it drop by the second would be quite depressing ;)
Yeah its not critical and yeah watching it drop would be depressing haha. Its certainly not a deal breaker :-)
Bought a 2017 Tuono V4 RR (last week), best decision I have ever made
Great review Chops.. I have a 2016 Tuono Factory and love it, I really like the fact the 17 has cruise control.. Might be time to upgrade to a 17!!!
Yeah they have added a fair few cool bits for the 2017.. Probably not worth upgrading though, see what they come up with for next year!! hehe
Which bike do you really prefer : the Ktm Superduke 1290 or this one? ;-)
I bet Aprilia love the fact you can't afford some new gloves, apart from that a great review👍🏻
Lamb chop I am supprised you need the electronics/ your explanationtions tells me you we don`t need this. but hey it`s there YOU SAY.
I from this review can read between the lines and WE don`t need this!! and really enjoy your review, thank you, sir Lamb:)
Nice vid, can't forget the first you did of the T, testing wheely control when it was disabled, then hitting the rev limiter saying something wc really kicking in hard :-D
Hahaha 😂 lamb chop are you gonna buying Touno anytime soon ?
well worth the wait, 3am when i started (NZ) now 3.21 well worth the watch...no fuel gauge lol, what... ? Also, you scared me when you said no anti wheelie on = bike flip in second with just normal acceleration because of pwer band, damn....! id be a nervous wreck making sure its on haha. Anyways thanks for an excellent vid im off back to sleep, keeping a watch out for no.3 (love that drone flyover at start too epic effect)... Great work!
Cheers dude, thanks for staying up to watch it hehe. Will do some drone shots with every bike, would have been out with it again for the Tuono but just been soooo windy :-(
Lamb Chop Rides haha you should come to Wellington NZ that's nearly everyday. Either way Fingers crossed you get out to do your next vid! No pressure.
Great review, looking forward the seeing your Superduke posts
doing these reviews justice mate, really good, in depth detail and opinion. cracking job, it helps that you know some of the technical background.
Thanks Mat!
welcome, credit where credit due
perfect CBT commuter I'll get one next week got my oven mitts for protection
I just had a thought but, they may have considered fuel gauges at some point but realized that with a sport bike there's too much slosh to actually put a gauge on. I get it, fuel light, it's easy enough to just program in a gauge, but they may have considered it to be too inaccurate of the actual level due to the slosh.
Yeah not sure about that one matey, I think its just because they haven't implemented it yet. i bet it will have one next year..
"Let's set up an appeal "😂
Do you like mint jelly with your lamb chops?
Thanks for doing these videos chops. I'm finding them very helpful. keep up the good work m8.
No worries Craig, its a tough job but someones gotta do it :-)
Great review. Is the Mac D drive through gonna be part of the tests ? Glad you've still got beastie.
Of course, how much Mac D can you store under the seat will be the test on each bike haha
Great Review Chops, well explained, you saved me a hell of a lot of reading, you must of seen the size of those manuals, made my eyes water. Looking forward to next review on the RSV4 RF, and not forgetting the test of the launch control wahoo. Good luck with that ^^Picked mine up Monday but yet to try it out, raining plus waiting for R&G radiator and oil guard. roll on next week.
No worries glad it helped :-) Did the launch control tonight and Im still alive hehe
Chuckle Chuckle that's good to know, look forward to watching it... if ya filmed it of course xD.
Hallo! Are you going to review the speed triple RS? Your opinion would be interesting. I am still on a verge to decide between Super Duke, Tuono RF and Speed Triple, rode all of them but still can not decide :-)
Aar Rar buy all 3?!😂 I would go for the tuono, even when 175hp are a bit overdressed on road 🤣
Chops, are you recording audio seperately to a dictaphone and putting it on the vid afterwards? CAn't see an audio in to any of your go pros
No all recorded on the GoPro matey, must just be hidden behind the helmet.
This is definitely the bike I'm buying next year. Did I hear you've got an rsv4 next week?
Yes picked it up today! Only bad news is Tuono now returned but have videos to edit still
Me at start: Is this going to be all about using the switchgear?
I love he TUNO and grew up on 2 strokes and V4S this is very relaxed with power when you want it?
Long live the bikerXXXX god blessyouson.:)
200 hp european bikes are a workout most of the time, the japanese ones are easier and smoother to ride
Lol. A generic mpg instead of fuel gage...smh ,Europeans
Hi mate, great vid. Can you tell me what action cameras you use and what Xlite helmet is that too?
Have link in the description Mark, mainly Gopro hero 4 Silver. Helmet is the X-Lite X-802 R Escape Helmet
Now I have subscribed would you please answer 2 stroke power OR modern V4, I rest my case? or do i:/
Your answer would really mean a lot to me as i wish to buy a bike from either the 2 stroke era or a modern v4 era:)
Two stroke power is great but the v4 engines are awesome!! It depends on what you want to do with the bike, if you want to actually use it then I would say a modern V4 takes some beating.
Another fantastic video!!👍🏻
Love the video and both the picture and sound quality. What cameras and audio do you use? They look like Go Pro but the sound is too clear. What is your secret?
+Bob Carter no secret really bob, gopro 4 cameras with Sony mics. The exact model is in the discription of my vids. Just mount it in the cheek pad of the helmet but leave the end just sticking out. It's all about trial and error 👍
I still refuse to try launch control... do hey realise what the bike sounds like at 10.5k? turned the engine off
Works really well, tried it a few times in the end :-)
Hi Sir, is the anti wheelie independent of the traction control setting? I mean in traction control number 8 on full Throttle does the front act the same as in TC number 1 for the same wheelie control setting ?
yes independent, its an amazing system
that open throttle downshift made me lol :)
will u be reviewing it's track abilities on Sunday???
No didnt book this ARD unfortunately, If I had known I would have had an RSV4 RF I would have!!
I was in cmw last week and checked out the tuono .. one of which had a SOLD sign on ???
+Glen Whyte haha unfortunately not mine 😣
Great to meet you tonight, love the vids keep it up Chops 😉😉
Same you Damien, bike sounded lovely as you pulled away! Take care buddy and will bring some stickers next time :-)
Hi chops I'm a old lad in my 60s and not really into reading manuals etc. I'm a old 2 stroke man and have a aprilia tuono factory v4 and never ride it much because all these electrical switches and gizmos have me baffled. I have learned more in this video than I have on the bike. I'm looking forward to the new season to try all these things out.thanks man
Great review - really informative and enjoyed it. one question: how does the low-mid rpm fueling compare to the 2016 version? or even better, any chance of getting a comparison of the 2106 and 2017 from a riding perspective (not tech specs)?
I was riding the 2016 RR and Factory. Now i bought the new 2017. I could tell the difference between thr 2016 RR and Factory. I was more into the Factory, because of the ohelins supsension.
Besides the electronics: the 2017 has bigger brakes and newer oehlins supsension. If u are a racer, the brakes could make a difference to you. Normal road rinding it´s both fine.
Supension wise: because the frame is the same: perhaps there is a slightly difference. will you be happy with 2016 supsension? no daubt.
Congrats on your new bike! Any thoughts on differences in low speed fueling/engine braking between '16 and '17 models? i've ridden a '16 a fair amount and was curious about differences in the 17 model. thx
Windy Run Thank you 😀.Fueling with 2017 is fine to mee. between 6 and 7 liter / 100 km. Engine brakes and throttle contoll is a big difference betwenn 16 and 17: in 17 u can adjust the engine braking. i like the less engine braking because it feels smoother to mee.
With 2017 it is also easier to ride through cities because the throttle is better/ smoother to contoll.
thanks for your thoughts. Much appreciated!
No fuel gage ? So how many miles left when the gas light comes on !? Guess I have to keep track of it which it sucks in long trips . Great review
I really don't understand how some of the most expensive bikes don't have a fuel gauge. my $7k FZ-07 has one...
Paul Gilder and how many miles you wrote before the light came on?
Paul Gilder mine on a cargo ship 🚢 can't wait 😊 120 miles for me is more than enough , No fuel Gages but still can see current gas mileage and average should be ok thought there was not gas Information at all other than the gas light . Thanks for the replies and keep riding safe !!
To make the buttons easier to use just rip a hole in your other glove
haha, now that isnt a bad idea....
is the electronic package different to the base model tuono
Nope, it's the same as the Factory.
So with cruise on and a speed set, will it cut if you pull a gear or does it retain the speed and stay engaged??
Um good question never tried that.. We try it tomorrow for ya
Coldfin9er nearly anything disables the cruise controll: brakes, clutch. u can only accelerate within a cerain amount. @Lamp Chop Riders: i was annoyed as u about the blinking light. after 4.000 km km ok with it 😀
Hi! Nice video. Did you try to make ATC calibration ?
Yes wasnt sure what that was?? Saw it in the options
LC prudent comments on a dream bike. Great video as always. Hypermotard SP or this?
Thats quite tough as very different bikes.. If you just had to have one bike then perhaps the Hyper SP as think you could do more with it..
Can I PM you?
Great review Chops
is the clutch lever adjustable? put a deposit on one and I'm trying to line up anything I want to do early on.
+d1skreet no its not mate
Lamb Chop Rides Thanks for the reply - I know it's a pain reading comments here. I guess I'll look into adjustable aftermarket ones. great video series, too. keep them coming!
It is: you have a small wheel on the right hand side, beneath the left mirror's screw. You adjust the friction point but you can't flip the lever up.
fantomas3030 that's the clutch cable - it's adjustable on all bikes. The lever itself isn't though. I have my Tuono now and I'll be installing new levers once I do the first service, along with a few other accessories
Bloody hell, those roads !!! What if a cow or a sheep should jump through the hedges and onto the road in front of you !!! :-O
good review, nice to watch as i’m buying a new one of these this weekend.
Joe Montanino well got such big discount on it this time of year it was worth it. Then if I love I’ll upgrade it following summer
@Joe Montanino No as i got such a great deal £13,500 with tail tidy, Akra and map brand new, the new one will be coming in around 18 grand thats £4500 more than i paid. No worth it for the few tech upgrades, as bike still great as is for the everyday rider and advanced. If in 2 years i fancy changing then they might have full on facelift upgrade then i may go for it.
Thank you for this great video!
In which range are the quickshifter and the blipper „working“ (well)?
It works pretty good in most situations tbh. Sometimes gentle inputs could catch it out but overall fantastic! Also when the bike was cold it wasn't so smooth
Lamb Chop Rides so, there is no min. RPM to use it? Do you use the blipper and quickshifter all the time or are there situations, where you use the clutch?
I think below 2k you shouldn't use it but that's it. You can use it all the time, use the clutch to pull away only 👍
What is a blipper?
@@grumpyguy6407 From the manual:
Aprilia Quick Shift
It is a system that allows go up and down the gears without having to use the clutch
'and without changing the position of the throttle grip.
It uses the gear shift sensor signal on the gear lever to shift gears more quickly with
a lower decrease in rpm than a traditional gear shift as regards upshifting.
The system is only active above an engine speed: of approximately 3,000 rpm.
good stuff
Just bought one of these from WMP
What's the range like from a tan
Can't believe there's no fuel gauge.
Yeah shame its missing.. Would be handy indeed! maybe 2018 :-)
Lamb Chop Rides so whats the mpg so far?
Its not too bad.. Yes slightly worse than the litre sportsbikes on a run but according to the computer 42 mpg average..
Thinking of buying one of these but put off by reliability issues
There are no reliability issues
Lol, serves me right for believing the forums then. The cams are made of chocolate and the valves balsa wood according to them. Anyway, I bottled it and ordered a Speed Triple RS......... Now awaiting them to be recalled for chocolate camshafts etc
Haha, it's allways the case. My friend has bought one so now we can see first hand.
Had two tuonos and now got an RF. No issues whatsoever. Ever.
Chris Jones
I heard that Triumphs drop oil everywhere. Especially the Bonnies.
Love the bike but have to say, Hate the Repsol , ie: Honda/Dorna associated, logo
could you please do review on APRILIA TUONO V4 1100 FACTORY 2020 matt black one cheers
The forks are nearly bottoming out under Hard breaking in your video towards the end of your video. Mind you ... you are on the large side of medium.
Hehe I'm the large side of large 😂😂
DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF THE 2015-2016 MODEL TUONO HAS A LEAN SENSITIVE TRACTION CONTROL??
I highly doubt that.
R is "Rain" no?
actually I just remembered they changed that from 2015. my 2013 has rain, street and track
now it's just Sport (rain), Track (Street) and Race (Track). It's in decreasing order of engine brake: race has the least and Sport has the most.
aprilias dont need rain modes, why would you wanna ride with decreased power on a tuono? there you see how serious aprilia means it with its bikes ✌️😎
There no slide controll on a tuono
The tuono or 1290 ktm r??
S1000RR pit limiter sounds better
David Yeo lol
The tuono or the mt10 sp?
Tuono all the way mate
it's a no brainer tuono of course
