Hey, man. I am pretty happy to have found this video as I also own one Aprilia, the Tuono Factory 660 2023 model. I have had the bike for almost 2 months now and after starting to know each other for around 5k km, I tried for the past 2 days to do my first wheelie, but I just could't. I disabled the wheelie control ( I only have on or off) but still nothing. Whenever I was releasing the clutch and started somehow to raise the front wheel even for a few cm, the gas was just cut, rpm dropped, so no chance of doing a wheelie. Then I saw the TCS light turning on whenever I was trying to do the wheelie. So the idea popped in my mind... could it be possible that because of TCS it is not letting me do the wheelie? And then I found your video. I saw pretty much the same symptoms I was facing today.. I was very curios if with Wheelie Control completely off you will mange to raise the front wheel, but you had the same response as I did. So I think I got my answer.. I will try to do it again with TCS off , it seems that's the problem. At least for Aprilia. :) Thanks, again!

Any other details you can share? Condition, mileage, etc? As far as inspecting, I would check for leaks all around the engine, fork seals, and so on. If there is an independent shop nearby you can ask the dealer to take it there for a pre purchase inspection at your cost. If they say no, negotiate in a warranty. Assuming mileage is low and condition is great the Factory is the better deal imo, but all depends on how you're going to ride the bike. RR is more comfortable but still sporty enough for a track day, Factory would be great for days at Barber if you go routinely.

Tires looked good, could probably use new ones in like 1k miles or so. I’ll get more details next week as I’m stopping by to check. I was planning on purchasing the RR for myself and my buddy the factory. I normally take my Z H2 SE to barber but it’s so dang thick I wanted something more lithe and lighter haha. I’ll add a comment on here next week around Tuesday as well with more info!!! EDIT: one other piece of info is the dealer that I found it off of is not an aprilia dealer, i think it was a trade in. Closest aprilia dealer to me is in knoxville TN, about four hours away, but hopefully any electrical gremlins have been found and fixed. If not, she is getting trailered there haha

Hi i have a question I hope you can answer please? I'm currently rebuilding my engine as my manual cam chain tensioner backed itself out and through all my timing out. I've decided to rebuild my engine and it's all going well so far! I have no idea what position each shim was in as I accidentally made the mistake of turning over the unit and they all fell out.... Stupid I know. As I don't know what was where, when I come to put it back together will I have to put everything back together just to check the clearances that will no doubt be out as I don't know which one went where. I don't want to have to put it all back together just to have to tear it apart again to change the shims. Didn't think of checking anything before taking it apart. It's my first time doing this as you can probably tell

Hi there! Kudos to you for taking on that job yourself. Unfortunately, if you did not keep track of where each shim was, I think the best thing you can do is exactly what you said. Throw it all back together, take measurements, then disassemble and move shims around as needed. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it's the only way you'll be able to determine what needs to go where :/

@@martialart3277 the wheelie control system is not perfect. It will provide assistance under normal riding conditions and works as an anti-wheelie system more than a wheelie control system. If you were to pin it and pop the clutch in first gear, the massive surge in torque would cause the front of the bike to lift abruptly and with a lot of force which the system would probably not be able to overcome. This effect is reduced in higher gears, but under no condition will AWC sustain a wheelie longer than a second or so

No parts available. They do not respond to emails and calls. It's a big problem here . Aprilia should nominate someone else for Pakistan. It will be great favour for people of Pakistan if this message reaches appropriate forum in aprilia management. Thanks and regards . Ahmad from Pakistan

@hiimchad
@hiimchad Ай бұрын
I'm not as familiar with the 21+ Tuono, but if it's anything like this and the Akra will delete the cat, it will need an ECU flash. The modes change fueling and response slightly, but not enough to compensate for the significant reduction in back pressure from the cat vanishing. For the 2017-20 bikes, the ECU can be remapped by an Aprilia dealer with the "Race ECU" which is designed to richen up the mixture for catless exhausts, or you can look into solutions from tuners like Gabro and OpenFlash. I am pretty sure they have products available for the 21+, but am not 100% sure as I haven't looked into it myself.

@hiimchad
@hiimchad 2 ай бұрын
As I begin to close the throttle and go for the brake, I come out of the tucked position and am upright but with my upper body pitched a bit forward still while engaging the brakes. I set up for the corner while tucked, moving to the side of the seat, and then brace what will be my outside leg in the corner against the fuel tank to take some weight out of my arms while braking. This allows for more control of the lever and handlebar. Wind resistance is normal. A more aerodynamic helmet will help, but at the end of the day, the wind resistance at high speeds is part of the naked bike experience, unless you add a windscreen.

He man I am just learning about motorcycles in depth.. I got a doubt. When we use quick shift at high rpms the motorcycle makes bang sound , why is it ? My guess is that when the ecu stops some powerstrokes the unburnt fuel in the exhaust is burnt in that few milli seconds . My second guess is that since some powerstrokes are cut off and to overcome the drag and maintain the previous crank rot speed seamlessly , the next powerstroke gets max air fuel ratio , so it produces that paaattt sound ?? Could you please
@hiimchad
@hiimchad 3 ай бұрын
Most quickshifter systems unload the transmission by cutting the spark. My understanding is that they don't cut the fuel, so some fuel enters the combustion chamber, but is then ejected unburnt, and usually detonates on the hot exhaust pipes, producing the pops/bangs.
