my OEM '23 rusted and started binding at 7k miles and I used lithium. lol, you don't have to remove the front cover to remove the back front sprocket cover.
Hope you put some Loctite on that front sprocket bolt , didn't see it when you were fitting the new bolt. I and a friend have had them come loose and bend the bolt the same as the original one.
Thanks for the advice there. I think I did but it was some time ago when I made that video, so will definitely check before the next ride. Appreciate the advice 👍🏼
@@richardwoodhouse8397 I mean, the video was called sprocket change and I changed the sprocket lol. You cant please them all I guess 🙃 As for the music, I'll give you that one, but I did warn you at the start ha...
Great taste in bikes my Man , but dude you weren't lying about shite music taste. I'd love to go for a ride with ya and shout ya a pint but certainly couldn't do any spanner work with ya in the shed🤦♂️ are ya left handed by any chance? Also Loctite?? On the Front Sprocket Bolt?? 😂
Haha that’s funny! That was my ‘questionable playlist’. Yeah from memory I did loctite it (as per the original), but I’m definitely going to double check after someone else made the same comment. Let me know if you want a copy of the playlist 😅
@@lo666zz ha cheers. I do love the Mille. Took her to the Isle of Man last week. Video should be coming out end of May. No shed of chaos and no questionable music on the video. A bit of moaning though…standard 😂
with your stock gearing did the bike really bog when you'd coast and let the bike settle and idle in a gear? and did this fix that specifically? I've been trying to find a remedy to the really rough idle/coasting this bike does. for example like coasting to a stop in first for second without clutch or brake the bike shakes and bucks a lot. I have a 22' V4 Factory
Hi mate, I can't say I've experienced that specifically, but the bike was a bit of a pain to ride around town and at 30mph with the standard sprocket. It felt in between gears and getting into 6th you had to be at motorway speeds really. Now it rides really well and has probably improved the MPG too for what it's worth. If it's still under warranty is it worth the dealer doing an OBD check to see if it's on the later engine software and check for any glitches? Mine had updated software plugs at the first service...
You always run the calibration mode on Aprilia’s every time you change the sprocket, tire profile or wheel. Otherwise you will experience rough/inconsistent shifts, faulty Traction control engagement, and inaccurate speedo
@@CharltonsClassics normally you don’t unless you’re changing the tooth count but if it’s worn down enough it, changes the consistency and synchronization between the throttle, gearbox, and wheel rotation. Resulting in the ecu trying to constantly adjust to its inconsistency
I run a 17MY and always do calibration for a new tyre it takes 3 minutes, I mostly run sport touring tyre's and do the calibration every 1,000 miles to compensate for tyre wear, so if you run something like Supercorsa I would do it more often. I have had 15 rear tyre's so have done the calibration many times, it's a shame Aprilia don't do self calibration as Ducati do I believe. I also can feel a difference with the quick shifter and when talking about it to another Aprilia friend he feels the same about the quick shifter
@@paulcraigsmith9807 Right! You’d think Aprilias ecu would be able to auto calibrate. It has all the sensors in the world and can tell when you’re riding on the track and changes the service light to come on sooner to compensate. I’ve seen in the software there’s programs for tpm (Tire pressure monitoring), I’m sure it’s for the next gen.
You certainly wasn’t lying about your music taste! At least you make up for it by having decent taste in bikes
Hahahaha!

Yeah it's a bit of a poor show as far as standard chains go! Haha, that sprocket cover was a nightmare to get back on 😂
Hill top hoods 4 the win!! Nice music nice bike
Haha no one normally recognises them 😂. Cheers mate
Earlier gen APRC had to be calibrated using the dash in case of a sprocket or tyre change. It's good to do it from time to time
Cheers buddy. I did it shortly after the sprocket change after someone else said the same. Surprised how simple it was actually. Makes a nice change 😂
I was trying to watch you crack rear sprocket bolts ? Music was hard to bear and it was in vain !
Hope you put some Loctite on that front sprocket bolt , didn't see it when you were fitting the new bolt. I and a friend have had them come loose and bend the bolt the same as the original one.

Didn't see much of anything a waist of time, yes same as comment but let's make the most of a wasted day😅

Hilltop Hoods. Classic Aussie Hip Hop! That aint that bad 😂
I think you might be the first person to actually recognise them 😂
@@CharltonsClassics
First Aussie probably on your video. Yep! 😂

Why do you use only the half of your tires? You Chicken ... stripe? 😂
Ohhh are you supposed to use the sides as well? 😝
Ha, I’ll put it down to a lack of skill lol
