2015 Aprilia Tuono RSV4 Engine Swap | Part: 1

[@wadehamati2133]

I need to see part 2!!!

[@theowerle1638]

I have a 2007 Aprilia Tuono 1000R V2, bullet proof engine (other than stator), then got me looking into the newer gens like 1000V4 but later I discovered that they were plagued with drop valve issues and in the forum I see an agreement where you either buy a gen1 or gen2 or you jump into a 2021+ aprilia, which sucks specially when they are discounted on facebook. The gen2 started to go up in value for some crazy reason. Great video 1 and 2, looking forward to see video 3

This bike looks neat ! Those valves problems are a bummer on this engine though. And it's kind of incredible that even today they still happen on the last engines... Good luck with the swap !

Thanks! Yeah little sad that they hit these issues, and really the scary thing is how expensive a new set of heads it. $1200 and the shipping times are in the months. It was really fun for the 20 minutes I got to ride it though haha

I am about to do an identical swap on my Tuono, When are you posting part 2?

[@GarageAddiction]

I don't want to make any promises but hopefully soon. Had a bunch of unexpected projects pop up lately.

If I put a 16 rr in a 16rr is there any things I should be aware of? The shop shit the bed so I’m installing myself old motors already out

@@GarageAddiction Don't sweat it! I appreciate the time invested in the great stuff that you post. Enjoy the projects!

I have a 2012, cannot find a clear answer if that rear end is compatible with my bike. I love that
