And ignore Tony. He's the forum knob (but we love him all the same).

There is a big difference filling the bike when upright than when it's on the sidestand. On the sidestand to the filler neck is at least 1.5 litres less than brimming it upright.

Just read about Chloroquine & Remdesivir, nice to hear a little uplifting news. I Googled ( malaria drug chloroquine and the experimental antiviral experimental drug remdesivir ) It ain't that simple. The following is copied from another source. “Chloroquine is an immunosuppressive. It works by...

I'm in the cohort of those most at risk. But, I live alone, work from home, 95% of the time remotely in front of a computer. I am also anal about running out of anything so I have always had a fully stocked larder and freezer. Haven't been to the shops (the most likely place to pick up some disease)...

P.s, the RSV forum is dead. Hence you lot are stuck with me indefinitely...

Try www.apriliaforum.com. Lots of septics but plenty of other nationalities as well. A wealth of info for all Aprilias.

I'm fairly sure I do. I'll dig into the spares box a bit later and check.

OK, makes sense. It might be heavier though....

Reason for this?

The Aprilias are lovely bikes. Top notch components, they look really good as well. The SV looks and is built down to a price and it shows. They are cheap. However, the SV engine is a peach.

I've not ridden the Shiver 750 but I have ridden the Dorsoduro 750 (Fabio's) and an SV650. From the owner of a V4 Aprilia I hate to say but I preferred the SV650.

Fit a 16 and drop the rear one by 2 teeth.

Are you serious? Maybe add 2 on the rear but even then it would be a higher gearing with a 16 front. At 30 mph I'm in first gear and slipping the clutch with the standard 15/42 gearing.

I changed the chainset on the Tuono. The rear sprocket and chain, after 14k miles, looked in really good shape. But, the bike is off the road for a couple of months so why not? When I took the CS sprocket cover off I was shocked.

Why not? The value of the SP2 in the bank will return you (I predict) a lot less than the increase in value of the SP2. Just tuck it away some place .

That's a bike I would love to own. Not in red though, such a slow colour.

I do like the idea of one of those things. All the adjustment should suit you as well with your gammy leg.

Oh, and FFS, clean up that trials bike!
