RTFM?
Thanks guys for your wisdom, I give it a crack and see if it helps.
I am a bit confused though with the technical abreviation of RTFM? Cant think of any mechanical knowledge that would fit those letters.
There is also the issue of where do I get hold of the needle jet for the slave cylinder should all else fail?
thanks in advance
Oh I have managed to get a shock and linkage from Tash RSV that he is breaking, hopefully that will sort the wooly suspension
Can anyone tell me is this an easy replacement for the blue shock and linkage?

errr .... not sure what you mean ........Blackranger68 wrote: There is also the issue of where do I get hold of the needle jet for the slave cylinder should all else fail?
Do you mean the clutch oil jet ? (nothing to do with the slave)
If so, any Aprilia dealer, Ultimate Parts or Griff at Aprilia Performance
Bolt on job. Easy enough to do but you will need to support the bike from somewhere other than the swingarm - eg from the swingarm pivot using an Abba or Ulti pro stand - or improvise.Blackranger68 wrote:

If you don't have such a stand you may find a forum member near enough who has.

Yes thats what i mean clutch oil jet.
Where does it fit, the master cylinder or the slave cylinder?
I live in Norn Iron, a little place called Ballymena.

The clutch oil jet squirts oil on the clutch itself - so it's not anything to do with the hydraulic actuation system (master / slave cylinders etc) but fits within the crank case (behind a screw not far from the slave cylinder)
This is the jet (along with some tools)
Here's where it goes (behind that screw):

is this something that benefits all falcos or did the later ones already have this changed... can't remember where I read that but i did read it somewhere
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.

From memory the later Falcos got the first change in jet size (was it 75 to 60 ?) but certainly only the later style RSVR/RSVR Factory + equivalent Tuonos got the 40.anzacinexile wrote:I believe that all the Falcos were the same but they changed the jet size on later Millies....................flatlander wrote:is this something that benefits all falcos or did the later ones already have this changed... can't remember where I read that but i did read it somewhere

Bugger I have an 04 and a clutch jet new so I'll go ahead and do it anyway:)
