Fuel tank care for storing your Bike over winter, Aprilia Gen 1 & 2

[@williambiggart7406]

Best wishes to all at A P workshops. I am not a bike mechanic but have carried out routine maintenance on all my motorcycles over the years. These " how to " videos help explain various methods which are useful to us all. Keep up the good work and hope to visit soon.

Great to chat with you, Griff! Will try this and see how I get on! I'll keep you posted!

Cheers Griff, just found out this week that this problem exits after the Mille came back from mot & injector fix. Great advice for a winter fix 👍

[@fahrvergnuegen]

Great advice Griff!! Haha, are you sure we have to take all the fuel out?? :D

[@darrenjones2435]

Any chance of a video showing us reticent mechanics what is found and needed to disconnect the tank (a Falco in my case)?

[@redbeard3923]

My tank blistered all the paint bubbled up so bought another tank repainted sound then the sprag clutch failed but still love them

Hello... can you do a video on why gen 2 fuel tanks seem to vacuum or pressurise please?

[@Vusseyv]

Cheers griff just emptied my RSV tank, i removed the pilot seat, tilted the tank back and used one of those vacuum oil extractors to get it all. Have you got any tips on tank lining? I hear the caswell product works if applied well. Cheers

Hi mate is it possible for the two molded overflow pipes inside the tank to leak as when I fill up tank get a fuel leak coming through one of the overflow pipes untill about half a tank left. Please get back to me thanks Darryl.

[@ThePumbaadk]

What about using TankSeal like you use on metal tanks to prevent rust, wouldn’t that fix the issue ?

[@dalehawkes1698]

Just got a 21 Tuono last week, do I have to strip new new tank out over winter as this video says or are the new ones ok . Thanks in advance guy’s 🏍👍

[@woooster17]

Having just bought a mint Gen2 I’m not sure watching all these vids is helping me lol... sprag clutch issues, clutch master cylinder issues, suspension bearing issues, clocks resetting, and now expanding leaking tanks...🙈

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Jeezus H Crist!! You do love the sound of your own voice don't you, even when supposedly getting 'down to it' you waffle on and on about the fecking history!!! I'm off to find a video that tells me what i want to know, byeee!

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

Oh ffs get on with it!! 3 mins in and you haven't even started explaining how to lay up a fuel tank for winter!!

Too much talkin and waving hands about, not enough doing.
