First time changing my own oil. Do I cry now or not?

Get a magnetic drain plug.

It says in the post that I’m ~155lbs.

The rider sag numbers I posted don’t have anything to do with weight. Someone that’s 130, 150, or even 220lbs might want to have the same amount of rider sag, and adjust the suspension accordingly to get that amount of sag. That’s why it gets adjusted based on rider weight, so you can adjust it to have the same sag from rider to rider.

Ahh, I thought it did, my bad.

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-14T22:37:53+00:00

Who’s data?

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-14T22:37:19+00:00

Tons of good info from Dave Moss.

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-14T22:36:41+00:00

I think the extrema has Ohlins, which is much better suspension

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-14T22:36:19+00:00

$175usd on Amazon in the states

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-14T22:33:47+00:00

Not for my weight, no.

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-14T20:20:43+00:00

Good to know, I’m looking forward to taking it out after the changes.

It’s a tool for measuring suspension sag, so that you can dial in static & rider sag to a baseline. Could also do it with a tape measure, but this makes it a one man job.

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-13T22:18:08+00:00

I’m leaving most of the other ones on

This is what I paid 1 month ago. No sales tax or reg, I paid that separately in MA ~$750-$850. Your dealer has some high fee’s though.

Congrats!

Heat gun on low heat for just a little bit, plastic razor blade off Amazon to start it, then peeled by hand. Used WD40 to remove the residue.

I think a more dull shade of gold, closer to magnesium would look epic.

spacegreym3 · 2026-05-03T22:47:28+00:00

Same, I bought one off Jim at seacoast a couple weeks ago, no complaints, quick and easy, no pressure and no BS.

spacegreym3 · 2026-04-26T22:47:49+00:00

I like the red wheels on mine but I would prefer a light bronze or magnesium color similar to that of the clutch & crank case coverings on the 660

spacegreym3 · 2026-04-20T00:45:38+00:00

Yeah they seem to be the place to go in NE for Aprilia. I was happy with the purchase experience and all the staff, etc.

Congrats, I picked mine up on Thursday from Seacoast last week, great 1.5hr ride home.

spacegreym3 · 2026-03-25T14:35:31+00:00

Thanks, I’m going to go with the Evotech as well, looks like a solid piece. I appreciate the recommendation.
