They can be removed but an absolute pain take the bolt out the bottom add some heat and put the lug in a vise...

Thanks! I hade the same problem: epoxy doesn't work. I event tried 'steel epoxy'. I hope super glue will do the job!

Hello again! So my Aprilia RS4’s main aluminium frame has several visible scratches on it. What’s the best way to remove the visible scratches on the frame, without “polishing it” (because I don’t want the frame to become “shiny”... any tips mate?

Hello Alex is your frame the same as mine a grey looking frame..? If so I would go for the Hammerite smooth silver..get some brown paper and mask off all the engine and areas surrounding and spray the Hammerite over the frame in all visible areas it should be fine or if you can source some frame protectors they would cover them 👍

Hello mate I went over a speed bump on my rs4 today and herd a bang sound come from my fork /forks do you have any idea what it could be mate

They do that if you hit a speed bump to fast as only one fork has a spring so can’t take big impact like speed humps at 20mph it will be fine

Hi mate, I am doing exactly the same forks, but when I have removed the outer tube them I just made a notice that it hasnt have a spring inside? One fork leg has a long spring but other one hasnt? I bought motorbike from second hand. Is it possible that previous owner removed spring?

No mate it’s perfectly normal the Aprilia has had this setup since the 2 stroke rs125 days. One leg does compression (spring) the other is rebound (stops it shooting back up) no spring helps to save weight 👍👍

Hi, I have just changed the fork seals on my 2018 aprilia tuono 125, but now 1 is correct but the other is bottoming out when I press down on it. I noticed that the forks were not identical inside when you look into the stanchion, should they be the same internally? They are the same forks as in the video above. Any ideas what could cause it?

It’s fine that’s how they are setup. One is preload (the one with the spring) the other is rebound how quickly they return to original position. 👍

ok, thanks for that, I will put them back on now. Regards.

Sorry for all the questions sir, but I’d like to know how reliable the RS4’s engine is once it gets to high revs. I was thinking, if I have to go on the highway, at around 9000 rpms on the last gear, would it damage the bike, or would it be alright to stay at around 9k rpms for an extended period of time? Thanks!

@BigBoyzToyz1974

It would be fine at 9krpm for prolonged periods engine wise but it would be tiring to your body it would sit at 60mph which would be about 7-8krpm and be smooth as silk after doing my forks my bike is so much smoother absorbing the engine vibration 👍

Hi, What oil is that?

I would use a cloth under the screwdriver to avoid hurting the forks
