Hi , gang...I just bought a 2001 RSVR. My problem is low speeds..up to 45 mph...the bike feels like it's wandering..the Aprilia site says the front damper may be at fault , and to test it you remove it and see if that fixes it..if so the damper is "notched" in the center...?
so , yesterday i intender to remove it when i noticed it appeared to be loose...now I've never had a front damper on any of my bikes before so this is a new animal to me...anyway it looks as if the top securing bolt is not tight...and you can grab the damper and twist it slightly..wiggles on the bolt....my main 2 questions are , is the damper supposed to be tightened down all the way?
and does anyone with an Aprilia have any other ideas about this wandering?
the tires are new Dunlaps..tire pressure is o.k. thanks
