It's a technical term indicating extreme difficulty, as in Pain In The A***!;)

Stylish without doubt, but an owner's review I found says there are still fueling problems. I guess it depends on whether you enjoy high-revving bikes. Two cylinders do it for me!

As I mentioned previously, I fitted one and noticed no effect so moved on to a RB Easy to see if that gave improved performance on the otherwise standard settings and equipment. If it did, it was marginal. I can see the BP could be a useful tool when you've altered other parameters but I have no...

Hi Mr Duc, To be honest, when I bought the one-previous-owner, low-mileage, unmodified 821, I wasn't sure it's fuelling needed any intervention anyway, not like the dreadful grabby clutch. I could never be certain that any very slight bumpiness was anything to do with the motor, rather than...

Jerdog, I doubt anyone has ordered them new from Aprilia. My guess is they would be mighty expensive. Just search ebay for used coils from a V4 Aprilia Tuono and you'll get a couple of spares too for 100GBP or maybe ?$150.

Thanks for posting the pic, Tim. Mine is very similar, is mounted in the same place on the left of the display and the digits are in a tasteful green. I thought I might have to lift the tank to get the cable from back to front, but there was plenty of room to hook it through with a length of...

I got around to fitting a Healtech GIPRO gear indicator today, model no. GPDT-DO1, on my 2013 821 'Strada. I have one on my 2000 Duke ST4 to which I had to fit a proximity detector to count the rear wheel rotations, but was delighted to find the versions for later bikes like the 'Strada work off...

Welcome to the asylum! They are great-looking bikes and brilliant fun to ride, plus you'll likely have a few jobs to do on it but at least the clutch should be fine being a 2016 model. Cheers, Nick, UK

I suspect the major difference between the Sport and Touring maps is the throttle ramp, rather than the mixture control or fueling. In Touring, the first few degrees of twistgrip give a gentle and controlled increase in power output, followed by a major kick in the pants with more twist. This...

The temperature-modifying Booster Plug did nothing for me, so I have one spare if anyone in the UK wants to try it. I went with the RB Easy and expert setting up, mostly because of curiosity and the reputation of the bike. Better is always an improvement even when nothing seems wrong, no? I...

I'm no suspension expert, but if I understand your comment on having the forks high in the triple-tree and a long shock at the back, have you not altered the steering angle precisely in the direction of instability? Years ago, we watched a drag/sprint bike come to the line with a very steep...

Gat: Yes, I realised your kit was aftermarket. Some aftermarket slave manufacturers originally fitted the wrong seals, (Vee-Two in Oz for one) though they should have learned the lesson by now. Tim has a very good point about lever adjustment to give full travel when bleeding, as I've found...

Sounds more like the seals going, and air entering as a result. Not being familiar with your mod, I can only guess where to look. Surely the manufacturer had learned the lesson all Ducati owners know about, with the ordinary seal material not being compatible with hot hydraulic oil? Early in the...

My RBE unit is just tucked down behind the bike's ECU. No problem at all... Nick

Sign me up; I'm tired of motorcycles. :confused:

Yes, I'm putting my faith in the Exactfit ones too, on several Ducati motors. Nick

I don't know of anywhere you can get the kit in the UK, so I ordered mine direct from valtermotousa and paid the freight charges (can't remember if there was customs duty). The service was good and the result made it all worthwhile. What bad reviews did you find? Nick, UK

Glad to hear you've made progress in curing what sounded like a very sick bike! Will you replace the O2 sensors, or leave it as it is? You've done quite a lot of mixture modifications so the ECU must be very confused already! Nick

Alan; I have a couple of spares and I've 'started a conversation' with you, whatever that means! Nick in Norfolk

Welcome to the forum. Interesting comparison; 821 HS vs. RnineT! And I like your style, having posted the above at 8.21am. Intentional or coincidental? ;) Nick, UK
