    2003 Aprilia Tuono - Warm starting issue

    Hi everyone, I'm having some issues with starting my tuono when its lukewarm. The dash temp gauge reads "cold" until it gets to 35c and 74c is normal operating temperature. If my bike is cold it starts with no issue, same as when it's at running temperature. The issue is if I let it cool down...

    360 Degree Camera

    Is anyone running any 360 degree cameras on their bike? My GoPro is good but the field of vision is so small. I looked at some videos of people with 360 degree cameras mounted on their bike and it looks pretty neat. Was wondering if anyone currently runs any, and where they are mounting them

    Aprilia Tuono - Leaking/Spraying White Residue

    I got back from lunch and noticed a white residue that looks like it was "sprayed" or leaked onto my clutch slave as well as the front sprocket cover. I haven't seen a bike leak white stuff before. I know oil can get frothy and look a little mayo-e but I'm not sure this what that is? I was...
