Yeh, it's still a bit bloody quick. :smt001
I had a vmax of 164mph on my last Falco!!! (twas like taking part in a video game! :smt003) which is 4 mph faster than I ever saw on the Tuono

My guess is also the sensor Trev (hope your keeping well mate, I'm over on the island with work next week, no bike with me though unfortunatley)

I have seen a sensor on e-bay (in the past) from the rs125 and wondered if they would fit? :smt017

I bottled it when mine went, as the yorkshire aprilia site gave a different part number :smt009

Anyone know if they fit?

pretty sure they don't - think it is mille/falco/tuono only


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I bought the sensor (not fitted yet) and the speedo has worked perfectly since! sods law

still getting the damn dash resets though

and it looks like the falco is now on permanent commuter duties as the triumph is well and truly fooked - no way its going to get through its next MOT never mind run
