Recently wrote off an SV1000S & am currently in the process of importing an RSV from the USA. Anyone with advice regarding the importation process - your comments would be appreciated. Also, there's a couple outstanding recall issues as well (swingarm, rear brake). Having never dealt with an OEM recall before, I could also use some advice there. Do recalls have to be handled while the bike is on warranty or within a certain time frame from date of recall issue? Would a US bought Aprilia need to have it's recall handled in the US - or could it be handled once I get the bike back to Canada? Any one have any contact information for the Canadian Aprilia distributor?
I have a Scarabeo 50, 2003. Do I have the right group?
I'm trying to locate the air filter, dumb as that sounds. I have a shop manual, but what I see in front of me after I've taken off the floor cover and other covers does not resemble what I see in the manual diagrams.
No sign of an air filter, at least not a configuration I'm familiar with. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
http://www.oemmotorparts.com/default.asp try looking here. Go aprili than scarabeo 50. then scarabeo 50 2003 click no air box to the left, there is a diaogram.
1 is the air filter
I am 61, have never ridden, but am about to. I have "tried on" more bikes than I can recall (maybe it's my age?)--fine bikes all--but the Shiver seems to fit me best, so I will soon be a Shiver owner/rider. I have a lot of questions so I'll go to the appropriate forum and start asking. Glad I found you.
