Kits also a very good looking bike.

Thanks needed this

[@PAuLSthenoz]

Im looking at a 2017 rr right now 4000miles But just scare of electrical issue

[@Porschemovies]

I have not had electrical issues and the bike has been in production since 2009, I assume they figured everything out@@PAuLSthenoz

Which one has the more comfortable riding position. Which has been the most reliable thus far between your Aprillia and BMW?

[@Porschemovies]

Well the Aprilia has been set up to be most comfortable for me, for example, the pegs are down and back and I wear a boot that has a 2.5in lift in it because I have a 30in inseam and need it to touch the ground, so if you got long legs short torso then aprilia will fit you nicely because the bars a bit back towards the rider. The Aprilia is heavier and takes more effort to change direction which makes it stable but over time more fatiguing. The BMW I'm changing the pegs like the aprilia and might get Heli bars because it's got my back at an odd angle and it's uncomfortable but I'll sort that out. Reliability Well I had the Aprilia for 6 years and it's super reliable the only thing I need to fix outside of maintenance is gear position sensor. So far no real issues with BMW but I only had it one year and only have 6500 miles only issue is my oem rear lights blink and throw a code I can take it in for warranty but I'll end up ordering a tail tidy kick. Also I had a bad front tire and BMW did not have any weights on the wheels when they delivered the back so I had to get that sorted.

[@antownemercer7552]

I'm 5'8 So basically i can't go wrong with either one is what i'm getting from you, correct?

[@Porschemovies]

@@antownemercer7552 well at 5'8 Aprilia seat height might be an issue. Look at GSXR 1000 or Honda 1000 you will be more comfortable.

Hey bro were twinsies! Lol I bought mine used n got 9k miles. At the valves service interval does the check engine light come on or how does that work? I got a guy who works on Italian bikes who can do it but do you need the software to reset lights? I do have TuneECU which can reset some lights. I also saw the puig winglets... Did you have to drill at all to install those downforce monsters lol 🤣

[@Porschemovies]

Hi, I got a vid on the winglets check it out! no cutting bolt in a few tips to make installation smooth. The service light does not bother me I just let it sit on i don't care lol. Light comes on for oil changes too no just valve check

[@TheChaz81]

@@Porschemovies gotcha! Thank you 🙏 I will take a look! Pisses me off that motorcycle and car manufacturers do shit like that so it forces you to go over pay if you want a service light turned off!

[@Porschemovies]

@@TheChaz81 it's a game for sure, you can decide if you want to play it or not right. Also, gear your bike!! -1 front + 2 rear. Unless you got to hit 200mph for some reason LOL
