Das Bike zählt derzeit wohl mit zu dem besten was du bekommen kannst.
Wenn dich so ein Fehler wie der mit dem Pleuel vom Kauf abhalten sollte,
dann kauf besser gar nichts!

Aprilia Italy has issued the recall campaign, and Aprilia USA is expected to release the letter to dealers tomorrow, and mail letters to registered owners as well.
Aprilia USA has stated that there have been no failures and this is purely a precautionary recall so that there are not part failures in the future. We have not yet been informed as to what part is at issue.
We have also been informed that all bikes on the road in the USA will have engines available within the next two weeks, if not earlier.
We should know more tomorrow, and we will post new information as it becomes available.

From Aprilia Italy
......."we have identified a batch of components that do not meet our quality standards. This batch was immediately intercepted and disposed from production. However, some components were used in the production of a limited number of vehicles Aprilia RSV4"
Aprilia USA has issued a letter to dealers explaining the preliminary process this recall will take. Replacement engines are being airfreighted to the USA next week and will be expected end of next week.
Customers are advised not to ride your RSV4 or RSV4 Factory until it is determined if your bike is on the Recall list. From our understanding, all USA bikes are on the list.
Please call your local dealer where the work will be performed to arrange when to get your bike to the dealership. Aprilia USA is using the roadside assistance program to have your bike picked up and delivered to the dealer performing your recall.

The replacement engines are due to ship to dealerships any day. The engines are complete units with throttle bodies, ECU, airbox, and wiring sub-harness pre-installed. The kit comes with plastic frame protectors, extra screws, hose clamps, and instructions.
The free jacket is for USA customers only. The jacket is the all black techno bike jacket from aprilia, made by Alpinestars.
300 Rückrufe der RSV4R und einige Factories welteweit! Na vielen Dank!
Mechaniker die noch nicht mal vollständig auf das Mopped geschult wurden sollen jetzt komplette Motorkits austauschen, das gibt bestimmt ein super Gefühl :x ...und als Entschädigung ne Jacke von Alpinestars, dass nenn ich doch kulant und nobel, nachdem ja auch im Vorfeld nur die ungeschminkte Wahrheit an die Presse kommuniziert wurde.
Jetzt bin ich auf weitere positive Beiträge gespannt!
Bei mir wird es jetzt wohl doch die s1000rr!
