Aprilia Oil Coolers.

#1 Post by HowardQ » Sun Jul 15, 2007 11:46 pm

Anybody know anything about oil coolers on early V60s.
The RSV and the RSV-R and Falco all look pretty much the same to me, except never see a Falco unit on Ebay, but regularly see early RSV and RSV-R units.
Strangely Aprilia Yorkshire list them at £300 plus for the Falco but do not list them for the Mille, which would seem to indicate they are different, but look very similar to me. :smt017

My understanding of this is:

Oil hose connection points are different but I believe that the Mille cooler can be used as long as you get some oil hose of appropriate length.
(The 'normal' route to single exhaust pipe conversion is to change to the Mille oil tank and cooler but I'm told you can use the Falco cooler if you buy some appropriate hoses)

D-Rider is spot on, the only difference are the entry & exit pipe locations, other than that they are identical, you just need to re-route the new pipework around the Falco front header pipe
