Aprilia RS 50 Tuono

Hi buds.

Just bought myself a RS50 tuono.

Any one got any experience with these. I must say they are pretty rapid.

Are they durable? I know parts are easy to buy

Thanjs pals

 

quite un-reliable to be honest

 

Why whats the unreliability about them mate I thought they had a good engine

 

Minarelli AM6

 

Nothing wrong with the Mina AM6 engine apart from the plastic gear shifter thing inside the box. This can be replaced with a steel version when it starts to go south.

 

they dont have the am6 engine, its the derbi engine they have, ive known one to go 80,000km+ on standard rings, they make 8hp standard too (once you take out the restrictors)

 

the derby engine is, according to my mechanic buddy, the wasp's nipples. He has one with a metrakit pro race and it's the fastest thing at the track.

 

the gearing sucks on them tho, nothing changing the sprockets wont solve

 

really? never heard that. In what way is the gearing crap?

 

too short, you can pull off in 6th

 

the gear selector shaft thing breaks quite easy on them too, ive changed one at about 300km
