Hey man I’m a little late to the party but I myself just but an 07 sxv 550 but mine was redone by Allen Noland. Him and Amuri are the well know guys. There is a ton of information out there but yes it’s old and also can be confusing to known what is right and wrong. My advise is to be very careful with the oil change. It’s actually simple but the first time is a shit show because the manual was incorrect and that’s what screwed people over.I’ll post what I follow and it is the best method in my option.It's black I believe. The previous owner told me that the engine was redone by Amuri in So Cal so hopefully this thing will go thousands and thousands of miles. If Amuri "did" redo the engine then everything engine wise should be better than new I would imagine.
So I actually have fresh tires thx to the previous owner but to my knowledge you cannot run tubeless due to the spokes.Awesome man thank you, I actually did my first oil and transmission fluid change about a month ago. You're right it was a bit of a Shit show but I got it done. Lol
Have you done anything with the tires? Trying to figure out if they need tubes as well. I've been reading conflicting things on the Aprilia forum.
Other motorcycle wheels with tubeless tires do not have spokes. My tires do say tubeless on them though but Ik it has a tube anyway. Just to be clear lol.So I actually have fresh tires thx to the previous owner but to my knowledge you cannot run tubeless due to the spokes.
