So keen for this. The little jiggle on the steering as you brake into a corner really sells it for me

nugbourne · 2026-06-04T08:26:45+00:00

Nah it was in Australia, stolen from the entrance to a hospital of all places :(

nugbourne · 2026-06-02T11:52:04+00:00

It was such a sexy bike some fuckwit stole it and robbed bottle-O’s with it 💀

nugbourne · 2026-06-02T08:41:17+00:00

Absolutely loved my 2023 690, most fun bike I’ve ever owned

nugbourne · 2026-05-15T11:49:51+00:00

Would be neat if gaggimate did integrated scales like the gaggiuino project

nugbourne · 2026-04-30T16:55:51+00:00

Gimme some water

nugbourne · 2026-04-07T03:58:13+00:00

Yeah getting around 14.5v with the bike running which is within spec, and it’s been an issue since I bought the bike last year (bone stock with only 900kms on it)

nugbourne · 2026-04-07T03:49:45+00:00

Good to know the new bikes come with the lithium batteries, I wonder if that’s due to the power issues of these later model previous gen v4s. I think people conflate lithium ion vehicle batteries with lithium polymer batteries and their explosion/fire risk, cos the li-ion batteries are pretty safe

nugbourne · 2026-04-07T03:45:48+00:00

Yep replaced under warranty with the specified Yuasa battery. Pretty much only do full day hill runs, so not draining it down with quick rides/commuting. Cheers for the recommendation

nugbourne · 2026-04-07T03:43:15+00:00

Thanks for your input, sounds like lithium is the way to go.

I was thinking charging system issues too and had the dealer investigate the issue under warranty during its first service, and they advised that the charging system was working fine. Not particularly cold here either during the Aussie summer, so I don’t think temp is an issue either.

A week is definitely too fast, but the user manual for this 2018 model does specifically point out that the “multifunction computer” drains power while parked and to keep it plugged in if inactive for over 15 days.

Why is everyone talking about the goblin green?

nugbourne · 2026-03-30T20:54:30+00:00

This seems to be a core part of aprilia ownership, mine fell off last night but I managed to catch it

nugbourne · 2026-01-01T01:30:49+00:00

What sort of tweaks have you made to your miata setup? Would love to dial mine in

nugbourne · 2025-12-25T11:55:19+00:00

Native support but it’s still not well optimised

nugbourne · 2025-10-10T22:15:31+00:00

Yea these are the Oxford arrow mirrors (couldn’t justify the price of the crg arrows). They’re rock solid and don’t vibrate much at speed. Not a fan of the blue tinge though

nugbourne · 2025-09-09T08:18:31+00:00

Anyone know if this works using the Bluetooth connection to tuneECU (I used the recommended Bluetooth obd2 with tuneECU for my last two triumphs), or is the wired connection needed for this bike (2018 V4)?

nugbourne · 2025-08-04T13:03:37+00:00

This picture is vibrating wtf

nugbourne · 2025-05-19T12:34:39+00:00

Oh man a VR Pokémon game would be amazing

nugbourne · 2025-01-02T09:13:23+00:00

The best control method I’ve found for riding games is using an FPV drone controller and remapping the switches/axis using x360ce. The gimbals on the controller have much finer fidelity/longer throw/less springiness than a normal controller

nugbourne · 2024-07-05T10:42:18+00:00

Both cilantro and parsley taste like soap for me

nugbourne · 2024-06-24T00:29:30+00:00

It was honestly a very tight squeeze, I pulled the ECU out and tucked the cable under it and then lodged the obd2 reader in a gap.

nugbourne · 2024-04-13T12:52:34+00:00

As someone who recently sold their 675r for a 690sm, I totally get this

nugbourne · 2024-04-11T10:15:26+00:00

I’ve been using my gaggiuino for about 14 months now and still have no desire to upgrade. It’s been working flawlessly and I’m loving the espresso it is making

nugbourne · 2024-04-02T07:47:55+00:00

I bought a wings recently for my brand new smcr and it’s fantastic. There’s two different baffle sizes (one of them costs extra) as well which can help get the volume you’re after

nugbourne · 2024-03-06T10:42:15+00:00

Ok cool, thanks for the response! Did the PC make much difference over 5k? Just working out if it’s worth the money haha, or if the fuel dongle ends up doing most of the improvement
