just fitted upgraded battery cables and battery (already had 150amp solenoid) to my Falco....WHAT a difference....best upgrade so far...starts like a boss 👍
One of the best video's with full expernation on how and why all of us aprilia owners should upgrade. Thank you everyone at ap performance (including guests)
I got a set of these for my Falco about 5 years ago from John when he was still developing kits. John was great to deal with open to suggestions (he was still developing the Falco kit) and very responsive. The difference in starting the bike is astonishing, great kit.
I’ve put one of these kits on my Gen1 Tuono. Brilliantly put together, every cable length and connector is spot on. Has also solved all my old starting problems. 👍🏽
Fitted the kit two weeks ago... it’s unbelievable the difference... almost takes the “joy” of having an Italian bike, starting every single time on the first push of the button... 😂
QUICK FIX. I just ran an extra 4 gauge positive cable directly from my battery to the solenoid in parallel with original OEM one been left in place. Haven’t had any problems the warm starts since.Two years now and still works sweet.
Looking well Griff, great interview with some fantastic information for all us Aprilia owners. My bluey is still going well, albeit I've not ridden for a few years due to health issues.
Just fitted mine. It fires up really strongly now. Did find I couldn't route the cables to the solenoid as it was, otherwise there'd be a right kink in the cable, but still managed to sort it. Starter motor is a bit of a pig to get to. Also voltage on the dash went up to 15.2V at one point, hovering around 14.5V. Which is good to see after fitting a new stator and rec recently.
Nice one , ordered this from you 2 days ago , arrived next day , installed today , bit of a chore but fits beautifully , Power cables seem long because the route in instructions details not to go around outer frame , this makes the cables a little tight , but nonetheless looks good placed with my new noco NLP14 lithium battery , check out the connections on that ; game changing battery
Best Aprilia mod going,should be the first thing owners uprate,well that or the sidestand.Lol. Got them on both my bikes and wouldn't be without. Thanks again John
Can we have a before and after start up video too see the difference in cranking power? Loving the videos, so helpful and full of necessary rsv owners info & tips
Great vid as always Griff, very informative. 👍 Even better it’s a British product. I don’t have starting problems with my (02) Mille, but may get the new cables before I do eh ????... 🤔😂 Ride safe, be safe. G.
Mr john walker true gent and great guy ,think ive had 3 kits over the years from john and there fantastic kits well made and work 100% thanks to john for looking after us all over the years . note to john fuckin e`ll you been working out look at they arms lol keep smiling mate :)
i am close to selling my 2004 falco as the starting issues are killing me. especially around cold weather. if i upgrade cables and solenoid will it make me fall in love again?
Hi guys, does this help with hot start issues? im having this issue with by 14 tuono aprc. Nightmare if you stop for fuel and engine temp above 80c or worst case stall in the middle of the traffic (hasn't happened yet)
@@APWorkshops I finally got around to fitting these last night. Not the easiest thing to do (for me). Getting that positive cable down through the frame was a ballache. There just didnt seem to be enough space for the old cable and the new one. did i miss something obvious? it came with instructions but im a bit of a novice at this stuff. An installation video would be great if you guys could. 😏

I had a set of JW cables fitted on my gen 2 RSV when I had my stator done at Griffs 4 years ago. Bike still starts a treat.

Yes it certainly can we've had some great success!
I agree .... this has had a quite profound effect on the quality of starting on the v4 product !

Built like a brick sh1t-house, way better than the flimsy OE stuff form Aprilia :-)
I shouldnt have to change mine again
You’ll be fine once you have a kit fitted !!👍🏻
