hey guys, can you tell me some things about the 2008 sxv. is it easier to start compared to the 07. does that throttle button on the side of the throttle body help??? any problems with the starter?? i had an 07 sxv 5.5 and had starter issues, i was told by the dealer the starter is different! true or ??? i know how salesman are :rolleyes2:so i want to hear it right from the guys who own them, also any other things i should look out for like engine being a grenade. thanks!!!

mines a little hesitant if it sits a couple days but usually its good, just crack the throttle a few time and let it warm

same, mine's '07 450

Everyone seems to be having problems with starters. Check out the thread "do not buy an aprilia".

No problems with the 08 motors starting. If you use the button on the side of the air box when cold, it starts everytime. and the mapping is better!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

The '08 starter is different, and will not fit on the '07
