Aprilia FTW!
I just received another call from Alex Frantz with Piaggio Group out of California.
He explained that since there are no trained RSV4 technician in this area (All of Alaska), they may possibly send a team up here with the engine and do the swap at the closest dealership, which is in Anchorage. Obviously more cost effective than sending my bike back down to the lower 48.
He said this might be the case for all RSV4s purchased in or shipped to geographically-displaced location.
Oh, and he took down my jacket size
Say what you want, but Aprilia is on the ball!:cheers:
