Aprilia - Ducati - Guzzi Valve adjustments.
« on: August 17, 2015, 10:27:50 AM »
I was thinking of a smaller skinnier bike for in-town, my Griso's just a little big in traffic.

The Aprilia Shiver 750 caught my eye until I read the valve adjustment shop times --- 7 Hours !



Well maybe a Ducati Scrambler isn't that bad at 4 Hours

Since I do my own maintenance I'll probably just get a V7, Scramble it and be happy with the 1/2 hour it takes me ---hey I'm slow - ok?

Now I understand why there's so many low mileage Aprilias for sale.
Griso 1100
Rosso Corsa Lemans
1/2 a V50 III (with my son)
V65 SP - Finished but the Dyna died so it's non-op'd
'75 850T with sidecar - a new project and adventure

My Aprilia 500GT scooter 4 valve adjustments are just like on the Guzzi 2 valvers except it's harder to get to them(bodywork).  But it's only every 25k mi. or so too.   :smiley:

If the Griso is too big for traffic, how about a KLX250S?  Lightest street bike you can buy and still have visibility around traffic.

I'd have a new tuono v4r if there was a dealer around that I trusted to work on it.
