Can you please explain in more detail how you moved the exhaust to get that last bolt out please ? Did you take off the springs by the shock and the one on the right front to loosen the curly bit of pipe ? Or did you loosen the nuts where exhaust meats engine ?

It sounds nothing like a proper gold star people who think it does obviously have never heard an original. you cannot get the same sound from a high reving short stroke engine as you can from the older lower reving long stroke engines.

Just shows how something hidden away but so crucial can be forgotten and neglected. My 2014 RSV4 Factory got stripped by me within months of ownership since 2020 and surely needed it. Aprilia Forums recommendation due to possible failure. Ive done the same to my 2017 RF within days of ownership since two weeks ago and surprisingly looked very good, but still I packed it with grease and slotted in a set of AP workshop's teflon/nylon washers to help keep water away. Most def this component should not be forgotten one bit. Cheers Sir👍🏻

Go the next stage mate, I got paranoid about it so stripped it and fitted grease nipples on dog bone and swing arm. I fitted new seals backwards to let excess grease out. Out side of the seals I put in suitability sized o rings which are very slightly squished on assembly. This keeps me the shite out. Now three times a year then grease gun comes out. Tip, pick your point to drill and tap carefully and give consideration to access and swing arm movement.
