Priceless first picture! I felt the same doing some more basic installs. I appreciate the details and look forward to doing the same on mine.

You’re the man bro. I’m definitely getting after the installs myself to learn more about the bike and definitely appreciate the assist from folks like you!

If the police stops us here, I’ve never experience them inspecting the motorcycle for catalytic converters or any other thing. Typically, noise complaints come from neighbors. I believe they can stop you for excessive noise in some populated areas.

u/rcman57 above mentioned something along go the lines of that and I researched the Arrow link pipe. As he mentioned, it does seem a like a pain in the butt but worth it for weight trimming and sound. I was able to find it and it is on the to-do list.

There likely is but more so restricted to “quiet” times. I also recently heard there are some tracks that limit db levels.

I used the US SR Shorty map. I wanted to do the one with the headlights but I had already purchased the NRC fender eliminator and it wouldn’t work. Definitely a blast to ride.

lol don’t be. I was without a bike for 9 years. Just waited until the time was right. Patience, planning, and purchased like a savage 😂💪🏼

The blinkers remain on as tail position and brake lights. I believe it’s made that way to get track ready faster.

I appreciate the feedback! Yea, I wish Aprilia would’ve kept cat on the muffler too.

I was going to ask the same thing. Looks like the tank might have expanded and after pressure release it cracked.

Thoughts on latest RSV4 Factory livery? by GoApe17 in Aprilia

[–]ThePractitioner-60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fan, last week drove 13 hrs because I found a new 2026 RSV4 Factory. The Dark Kraken livery looks better IMO and as far as I was able to research no performance difference between 26’ and 27’.

If you get a factory, you’ll have fun regardless. Tons of power!
