I did all of this to mine as well, I did have the notorious cooling problem though, the dealer still warrantied the bike and Piaggio replaced the ECU with all of the mods on it without a problem, also my UpMap still worked on the new ECU, I was sure it wouldn't but it did. It runs great now and no more overheating!
Mine gets hot but never over 225 F. I've heard everyone say that their Aprilia's run hot. Gabro maps have the electric fan turn on 5 degrees cooler so that is supposed to help.
At that time I had just gotten the initial service done at 600 miles. The chicken strips show I was being very "cautious" aka a wuss. Things are different now.
Didn't you struggle with the bolts that hold the passenger pegs? On mine they were extremely tight, took me hours and I ended up having to snap one completely off because the head got worn out
It was difficult and did take a long time. I had to be very careful. They have that rough Zinc coating on them as well as thread locker which really makes removing them a pain. They sell little covers that go over where the pegs attached before. It makes for a really clean look in the back.
@corneliuvaleanu5845 That's cool, I got a 1-year factory warranty because it's the R model. Other models get 2 years and then extended warranty 2 years, so I have in total 3 years.
How did you find Sc exhaust? I had LV on my s-1000R it was fun but eventually make you tired of to high DB . I have 2022 Factory with Akro pipe and race map. Is map (plug you installed) better than Race map ? Thanks
The exahust is a little too loud for me, but it does sound awesome. The Gabro maps are supposedly a little better than the race map, but it sounds like you have your bike pretty dialed in with the Akra and race map.
I believe they are the clear Eazi-Grip tank grips. With the clear you end up seeing any air bubbles that get trapped but you can still see the Aprilia logo on the tank, which is what I was going for. The grips work well though.
It does get very hot, but has not overheated. It's an Aprilia problem in general. From what I've heard, they are made to ride/race, not to commute or sit in traffic. That being said, an ECU map with better fueling and removal of the charcoal canister and servo motor can free up some space behind the radiator and allow for better airflow. It has kept my temps down to the low 200's (degrees F), but I usually turn the bike off if I'm in traffic.
Sounds beautiful!!!🔥👏 Did the upmap help the notchiness while riding in engine map 1? Also did the SC exhaust mount to your rearset from the video it didn't look supported or mounted? Thanks love the Tuono
The UpMap is amazing! On/off throttle is much smoother now and power delivery is more linear. The SC exhaust has a bracket that mounts to the rearset. I got lazy and didn't film every step.
Not yet. I just got a RaceBox Mini to track stuff like that. I'm mostly trying to get lap times at the track, but I can check 100-200 times as well. Unfortunately winter is here, so it will have to wait a few months.
Met a guy with a shorty from another brand (?). Sounded awsome but was way too loud! I am thinking about an Arkra - By the way how much was the airbox (is this from Gabro as well, or does he sell them?) @@scottoutdooradventures2779
I had the original air box with a paper filter. However, sand got there. This can be sealed with silicone. I decided to buy a gabbro air box to increase the power next year. After driving about 1000 km using gabbro air and a sprint filter, it turned out that this filter allowed dust to pass through. I had dust all over the filter housing. I bought a bottom filter, installed it a week ago and it seems to be ok. I had a K&N filter but on a KTM motorcycle and I think the bottom filter is better made. If you want photos, give me your e-mail address and I will send you.

She's a beauty and sounds aggressive!!
Just a look at your rear tyre and i can say that you dont need more power ...😊
At that time I had just gotten the initial service done at 600 miles. The chicken strips show I was being very "cautious" aka a wuss. Things are different now.
Time attack 😍🤟
What fender eliminator kit is that? Looks clean.
It’s from R&G. It comes with integrated turn signals. I love it!

I did the exact what you did but the exhaust. I have Akra for every day riding. I love the bike as it is now.🤟 Btw, the waranty is still 4 years....
I'm taking it to the track in two days. I'm so excited!
Aprilia gives 4 year warranty?
@@Sanisani9 2+2, yes...

Cant help but notice you have a 1290 SuperDuke which do u like better 2 great looking bikes
Thank you!. For everyday street riding, I'd take the SuperDuke. For the twisties and/or track riding the Aprilia would be my first choice.
How is the rsv4 air filter and box working? I have Akra and Gabro tune.
Really well. Highly recommend it. I've done a few track days and couldn't be happier.
Tuyệt vời 🎉
Which tank grip do you use ?

Big question.... does your bike overheat when stuck in traffic....?
It does get very hot, but has not overheated. It's an Aprilia problem in general. From what I've heard, they are made to ride/race, not to commute or sit in traffic. That being said, an ECU map with better fueling and removal of the charcoal canister and servo motor can free up some space behind the radiator and allow for better airflow.

@@scottoutdooradventures2779 That sums up my conclusion....the new radiator actually is an improvement.
I turn my 2023 factory (no mods) off in traffic as well! Not in traffic much but no problem to shut er down!@@scottoutdooradventures2779

No need for all these mods if you roll around corners like a granny. Also putting music over engine sound is the cherry on top
Thank you random internet person. Your opinion definitely matters to me.
Why not?? Better feel better sound it is worth it not everybody has to go to a track you clown Karen 😂😂 go back to your cave or whatever
any 100-200 times?
Not yet. I just got a RaceBox Mini to track stuff like that. I'm mostly trying to get lap times at the track, but I can check 100-200 times as well. Unfortunately winter is here, so it will have to wait a few months.
Was it worth it ?
It was! Only thing I would do different is get a different exhaust. Love shorties but I wish I had gotten an exhaust with a baffle.
@@scottoutdooradventures2779 Is it too loud? Also goodbye to warranty with Upmap.
@@MotorcycleThrottle to be honest it is a little too loud. And as far as the warranty, it is what it is.

@@MotorcycleThrottle The UpMap or the exhaust does not effect the warranty.
Lol i scratched my swingarm 😅
I am just trying to compare the new black Pankel radiator with the old unpainted KTM one...
Throw away the sprint filter that came with the kit. This filter allows dust into the airbox.
You roll with OEM or something like DNA or K&N?
