Hi, looking at the list of things you have changed I would take a look at the water pump, it's an easy check: Examine the petals for crakings or missing shape, also for corrosion or calcium deposits and the seals. If it's ok, the following point could be corrosion deposits embedded all around...
I think in this specific case is worth ... The seals, oil and gas valve are not expensive and I checked the spring in a dynamometer, correct length and all the coils with same tension. Also you can play with gas pressure to match your damping preferences :p
I think Gary is right, no way to dismount it. No piggy back and fully sealed. I did it on a sachs drilling a hole in the gas tank and installing a valve but this one has a piggy back.
Hi Townsend, my son tested the 2 or 3 versions of street bikes from Energica 2 weeks ago at Jerez circuit, he is a motorbike magazine journalist in charge of the proofing new bikes and make the article. They also blew him away :p .
They also tested the Moto-e one in the circuit and was in...
Coming back to the acid fluid you found, it can be a good idea to take the bike to a workshop where they have a closed circuit cleaning machine, this will deep clean and flush most of the deposits. Liqui Moli has a decent cleaner. Good luck
Did you check the PH of the exisiting liquid? When they are not the proper one or are lasting for long time they tend to acidify themselves causing corrosion on other materials too. The correct PH level should be alcaline, around 9. If this is the case, there are some alcaline cleaning fluids to...
Hi 7up,
Four to five years seems reasonable to keep them (kept in good condition) but... you have to count on manufacturing year/week to have all the truth on the table. The manufacturing date should be printed in the tyre in a box rectangular with round squares also in relief, the format is...
Hi Gary, I'll do it. But... she is a V4 1000 Tuono APRC :p
My first miles with this bike are shocking, with the anti-wheelie set to minimum and the "Track" engine mode she lift the front wheel in 3rd gear :rolleyes:. Now trying to adjust the suspension to my weigth.
Saying goodbye to the FZ, new Italian lady arriving :p.
It's been a pleasure share and receive knowledge from you, and very useful. I'll keep connecting from time to time.
Cheers
Change done!
Comparison with the old Michelins is not fare :p! They were in good condition but really out of date. Initial sensations are very, very,very good. The front is super precise and there is no lean transition strange feelings, it simply goes to the lean angle you choose and stays...
Hi Howard,
I use this in Spain, our local regulations allow aftermarket silencers but you must have a "plastic card" coming from the factory showing the European homologation on it. Several MOT passed with no problems as I didn't change nothing from inside/outside:
Comercial name: Mivv Oval...
Thanks Gary,
well, she's Italian, you know ;).
The engine is fantastic, it's half of a RSV4 factory and push a lot in middle range, you can set all the auto controls for your riding style: Anti-Wheely (yes, she lift the front wheel easily), the traction-control, the engine retention and the...
Hi there, I'm glad to introduce the new family member :p
She comes from Aprilia Spain directly, it's one of the press units used to present the model as my son is a motorbike journalist.
I've been testing this baby and can tell you she's amazing, and no, I'm not going to compare it with our...
