I'd be interested in that left hand cf Aprillia RC can. The famous side stand issue got me a while back and mine got a little damaged on the gravel and when trying to pick the bike up again. So PM me with a price if you want to part with it.

In some ways, a bit of a shame as I liked to keep my collection of tax discs and they were a good reminder of when the bike needed to be re-taxed and often gave a good clue when the MOT would be due too.
You don't have to worry about this now, you can set up an annual direct debit that automatically renews until you tell them otherwise.

NOTE - "Tax will be automatically renewed and the Direct Debit payments will continue to be taken providing an MOT is in place at the point of tax renewal"

Just be aware

1) If you don't renew your insurance and the vehicle is still taxed you will receive an automated fine for having an uninsured vehicle on the road, you must put it on SORN if you don't insure it.

2) If PC Plod with his ANPR camera gets you when the Mot has run out he will also be able to get you for no road tax as DVLA will have stopped the direct debit.

Front Sprocket....

I've had bolts come loose in the past on other bikes, cant remember the setup on the Falco but if not held captive, lock tabs, lock wire or a few drops of stud lock are advised.

Aprilia specifies the use of thread lock ..... though I bet there are those that ignore it!
