How come Aprilia doesn't have any dealers in the US?
I have called every Aprilia dealer within a 250 mile range of Chicago and none of them are Aprilia dealers anymore. One was nice enough to refer me to AF1 Racing to order parts. How does Aprilia expect to sell and service bikes in the US without a network of dealers? I was a bit worried when purchasing my bike as every motorcycle dealer around me is refusing to work on them. The previous owner of my bike did tell me of two shops who he uses.
Fox powersports 29th steet kentwood mi, they have all your answers! close to me far for you. But it only takes one stop and your rippin. Now there are two choises here or there. hope it helps
Thanks for the info. Are the service techs really knowledgeable and experienced? If I don't find someone over here who is an expert with Aprilia's I may use them when it comes time to rebuild the engine.
i bought my bike there and it is the only place i will go for stuff and work on my aprillia sxv 550.they are very knowledgable and have 2 sxv race bikes they race themselves
yep! they have a 90 hp sxv that sounds like an INDY car. remap 40 bucks for any exhaust you supply!
some day I want a set of allens true duels on the back of mine. I would like two hear twin two brothers sing from aprilias lungs!

Let me know how much it runs you, I may do the same when my time comes. When do you rebuild the engine?
Try living in a country roughly the size of yours and only ~7% of the population
Get to know your bike intiminately and be prepared to ship the engine if necessary.
The dealer by me is a joke called them today to see about getting the bike in for exhaust to be put on that I was going to buy from them.. told me 6+ weeks before they could make me appointment for install.. Going to order and do it myself save a couple bucks as well...Plus didnt have the motorex 4liter 10/60 in stock killin me.. where does everyone get there oil from ? AF1 seems to have ok prices but havent looked into what shipping is going to run...
90 hp sxv that sounds like an indy car huh? i doubt it
Im a dealer D&D Cycles 2400 Fernwood St. Pensacola Fl 32505
I've been buying Castrol M-spec 10W60 at my local BMW dealer. Only use it in the engine side as it has friction modifiers not intended to be used in wet clutch systems. It runs $10-$12 /liter. I use something from my local moto shop for the trans.
"Engine power and overall performance are not suitable for every rider, but instead demand knowledgeable and experienced pilots who know their limits."
Sad, some dealers are a joke.............
Try MotorcycleSuperstore (online) I've been buying my oil there for years, they have some good free shipping deals.
I started using Motul 10/60 racing oil from them recently, but they carry Motorex and have bought it from them cheaper than my local dealer for 3 years..

A buddy was nice enough to let me have the lighted sign for the work area in my shop!
