Tuono - Aprilia Performance guide to suspension setup

[@bmwr1150gsant]

top video, well explained....... the dark art of suspension set up. thanks Griff

[@DarkRiderMotovlogs]

This is extremely helpful! I just got this bike and needed to know how to set the suspension. Thanks very much for the upload.

Me too...just got the manual Sachs 19 Tuono RR suspension. It’s nice but once I get all the suspension, brake/handlebar ergonomics sorted it should be perfect

GRIFF is the man!

Spot on. Makes it sound easy but getting damping fine tuned can make or break a ride. I adjust mine so when winding the throttle on, I can ride over a bumpy surface without being pitched out of the seat, then rebound to smooth out the bumps so the net result it seems to glide under control over bumpy surfaces without squat causing wallow. Trick is getting the feel for how this should feel when setting it up. Initial push should feel progressive so easy to compress a little before compression damping feel kicks in and rebound should allow similar...ie first part of rebound starts quickly but is arrested by damping quite rapidly but not so it takes too long to return to static. Net result is no bounce. I start with book reccos then set sag from there for preload then do compression on feel and rebound to prevent bounce. When happy I make a note of settings and take it for a spin. Shouldnt need doing often except when static load changes or setting up a bit stiffer for track days.

I need to nip over and see Griff at some point to set my Gen 2 tuono up bloke knows his aprillias.

Just found this my Mille seams a little soft on the back end. I'm 97kgs I think the previous owner was more like 80 will give it a go

Another great video Griff 👍🏻 would you say 20-25 front and 10-15 rear would be right for a Gen 1 RSV too?

[@speighty58]

Youd be better asking him direct, I just host this video. Try his forum

[@dry509]

But this does not take into account if the rider is too heavy for the springs?

[@dennisrowe3860]

Carl Bevis how do you know if your Springs are too heavy or stiff for your weight?

[@parko1965]

See Dave Moss

With the single sided swingarm

[@ericu1196]

does clockwise strengthen or soften compression?

Clockwise adds more damping therefore making the ride more harsh.

Am I missing something? He does not measure with the rider on the motorcycle.

[@speighty58]

Hi Rammstein, you would have to have a chat with Griff, Im just hosting it with his permission as I was there on the day. I wouldnt want to give otu any bum advice.

[@cgolding2587]

because this was all about static sag not rider sag.
