Aprilia RSV 4 Nation-Wide Recall

[nicholas k]

Seems that Aprilia has issued a nation-wide recall for all RSV Fours, for replacement of the complete engine. I'd be completely spooked, if I did own one, but on the other hand Aprilia is acting responsibly, even though no actual failures have occurred. No other details are available, such as which specific part/s are suspect.

"now whay wuld any budy taype in sumthin about a aprillyeea"

No. That was sometime ago and unrelated to this latest recall, affecting pre-production "R" models. This is different, as RSV Factory models are involved.

 

[wow........]

Send her straight back with the crab pots Brooksie.

Good thing it's not riding weather huh?
