Thank you mate , lovely comment this , definitely learnt some thing new about glazed pads that day

Hope you guys had some fun. 🫣 And hope your bike is a simple, easy fix. Looks like fuel or electrical issue to me 🤞 things like to come loose on the RSV4. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Thank you very much I really really hope it’s an easy fix but I’ll be honest , it’s time for an engine refresh on that bike anyways So let’s see what the Aprilia expert says

Not sure if you fixed your throttle problem yet, i had something similar on mine except it ended in me getting hit by a rider behind at Snetterton! Bloody dangerous when they go wrong! Im 99% sure mine was a sticky/graunchy butterfly. Because it wasn't opening and returning as fast as it's meant to the ecu basically kept shutting the throttle as a safety precaution lol...cleaned and lubed it, seems ok now, thought it was worth a mention.

Wow , thank you so much for that input , honestly it was dangerous for first 4 laps then I adapted and just carried on … I am going to take my bike to the mechanic in a week He’s am Aprilia specialist and fellow racer John Couglan and let’s see what he says.. thank you again mate I have taken A screen shot of your comment

Great content as usual man! Your friend is lucky,that crash was absolutely horrible and could have ended really really bad. So glad the rider's ok! I'm just going to leave this here...from the way you speak it sounds to me you are probably thinking about the next bike...or not. My point is, if you do you should really consider downgrading to a 660 or a 600 next gen. I think for regular folks like us all is much better and most importantly, fun. Just my 2 cents of course.

I totally understand mate, and thank you for such kind words , I’ll pass that on to my team mate I am seeing him Sunday In terms of 600 It’s very tough for me I tried it twice on track and I am just so used to the 1000 It’s been like 7 years on that bike now And 7 years is a long time to get used to something and re calibrate to a different cc bike which needs totally different riding style … I’ll see how it goes , let’s see what the bill is to repair the mechanical issue and I will take it from there .. thanks for the detailed and meaningful comment

Hi mate, just watching some onboards with you. I think if you could just be a little bit more patient why the first touch of throttle it’ll help so much getting the bike turned easier give it a try hope it helps 👌 I know your not riding comfortable here due to brakes but Iv seen it on other onboard 💪

Bro, I think you have a broken valve spring. I wouldn't run it anymore. It might drop the valve. Take off the airbox and get a scope into all the cylinders and see if you have a valve hanging funny and not closing all the way.

Sounds like fuel starvation definitely not mechanical,did you do a throttle and handle learn after your off at Andalusia?,as they do generally need this after an off,also when I had my rf I ended up removing the irc unit as it had issues every time I used it,once removed I never had any more issues

Not to be insensitive, but I've known people that just won't admit their limits ,and end up spreading confusion and frustration for others trying to help. Or at worst, causing accidents and other situations that would be otherwise avoided.

The question isn’t about limits here , as mentioned in the video , on the old tarmac in 2019 (video on KZread posted in 2019) …I was 2 to 3 seconds quicker than I was this time with braking issues and I know myself I was faster , plus , during a 5 hours endurance race when you know your teammate has just crashed and you need to do 2 hours between two guys with minimal pitstops then the question isn’t about the limit , or how quick can you do a lap , it’s about sustainability and endurance and that’s why I did a 70 mins non stop stint managing the throttle issue because we were one man down . It’s a 5 hours race and not a sprint… I would love to give you free tickets to the 8 hours endurance race and I really want you to experience everything from our garage and you will truly feel that we aren’t here to make excuses why we weren’t the quickest , it’s about whatever it takes to just finish the race . Once a team mate crashes , you cannot go out until his bike is recovered back into the garage and we lost 15 to 17 mins , how can you cover that deficit on track, the best way forward is to finish the race and do longest stint until fuel light comes on . Please do send me your email , I will send you free tickets to our endurance race, just experience everything, you will love it. I hope.

Mate, I can see where you are coming from as there was one issue after the other but you need to realise in a 5 hours race a lot can happen … life’s not perfect, the bike wasn’t ridden for 5 months before the race and it was a last minute entry. I didn’t have a test day or a track day or practice, went straight into quali, if I had more time at hand then these brake and technical issues would have been found out and rectified on a test day before the race. I was a last minute entry covering for my teammate from 2022
