Out in the garden with the RSV4, a cup of coffee, a bunch of tools I don't know how to use, the potential of a glorious summer ahead and Griff on da'tube teaching me how to adjust my chain. Perfect Sunday!
Bearings making noise on my 2018 Tuono factory at shop manual recommended 90 lb-ft, remembered seeing this at some point back back it off to 75, now it's smooth and happy!
Geniuine query - I thought the chain tension on the RSV4 was meant to be set with the swinging arm off the floor i.e., the bike is lifted from the frame and tension then set.
I just done my sprocket nuts but 2 would not fully tighten although hard to turn with spanner, can see the stud is turning with the nut on them 2. Had torque set to 50nm. Is this a replacment of whole part or can the 2 be repaired to tighten down like the others? New to aprilia and these videos have been great. Berkshire, England
Hey, I have aquestion about the triangle piece of metal for the dogbone. Must be the arrow in driving direction? In working manual is no discribtion about it.
Do you use grease and/or ‘copper-slip’ on the axle/thread/under the flange of the nut? Does this affect the torque value? I’ve seen comments on fb that torque should be reduced if lubricating the thread??
If the axle nut has been too tight, will this make the wheel "stiff" to turn by hand? I've torqued up the axle nut to 100 but I think the tyre shops must've over tighten it! So what would cause the wheel to be stiff to turn?....It's not making any noise and I had the bearings replaced. TIA Jamie from Australia
No the don’t need greasing they need cleaning properly ! If they keep coming loose then replace thr nuts ... theyre nyloc type so should be self locking ! www.apworkshops.co.uk/search/Carrier/
Hi guys, my manual says to check chain tension my RS 660 while on the side stand. Is it ok to check while on a paddock stand or must the bike be on the ground?
@@Maverick-moto the changed geometry of the suspension, and can affect the slack in the chain. But if you can figure out what that change (if any) is then you can make allowances.

Thanks for the great videos! I have a gen 1 Tuono and watching your videos instead of researching on the internet is so much easier!
Thumbs up!
Brilliant..thanks for the video!!!!
Rsv4 in Los Angeles
Awesome just bought an 04 factory 1000 I’m excited to learn out in sac Cali
Every time I get my bikes back from a service I have to lose the chain ! doesn't matter which garage you go to they all over tighten them !! 🤣
Great video just got a 21Tuono factory enjoy going through your videos like the 100nm instead of the book tourqe 👍👍👍
It says 120nm on manual isn't it? Why we should go with 100nm then?
@@mattmatt8338 did you even watch the video?

Hey, whats the best way for the 2021 with the new swingarm? Tuono or RSV4? Manual says 20mm measured on the TOP!

Great advice subscribed, if the nut is over torqued would it explain a bit of noise rotating the wheel ?
Hello what size is the hex key?
I like this rear sprocket !! What make and model is it? thankss !
Checked my 18Tuono sprocket today, walked 100 meters with a 17mm in hand, only to find there 14mm, This is a standard un touched bike. 🙈🤯🥵
Your right !! Some of thr new bikes have 14mm sprockets nuts!!
you should have your tool box beside you lol ..😂👀
cool you added to your daily steps!
Hey, I have aquestion about the triangle piece of metal for the dogbone.

Would this be the same for a rs660 and tuono 660
should the sprocket nuts not have thread lock on them ? cheers pal
Great vid..you guys are adding to my, new to me, v4 experience. Question, how much are v4 rearsets. 2012 tuono? Cheers.
279 inclusive of tax bud !👍🏻
@@APWorkshopssorry to mention.. postage to AUSTRALIA. Thanks.
Send us an email to the shop with your postal address ... and we can quote you properly !

I don’t put any copper slip anywhere near a spindle or the spindle nuts ..
The trick is to keep everything clean and torque up correctly !👍🏻

This has to be checked bud ...... worth striping and doing some measurements 👍🏻
@@APWorkshops
Can you show it for the 21+ bikes , it says check on the TOP of the new swingarm and 20mm slack
Is that 25mm free play on a twin with the wheel off the deck (paddock stand)?
Cheers
On a paddock stand 👍🏻
Hey, best way to check the tension on the chain on 2021 RSV4 / Tuono with new swing arm?
Whats the saying? RTFM... Measure from the top of the swing arm... 😂
I have squeaky rear sprocket bolts not only do they loosen them selves over time do they also need to be greased inside ??
No the don’t need greasing they need cleaning properly !
If they keep coming loose then replace thr nuts ... theyre nyloc type so should be self locking !

Use red thread locker on the stud it will keep the nut from un loosening
All Day isn’t red thread locker permanent is blue locker more manageable
@@NaturalBorN44 yes use blue ,its what iv been doinig on my gsxr for years .

If you really think about it, what’s the difference
