RSV News - Feb 2001
Thanks to our sponsors we
are running in the
National "Mille" Cup
We now have a race prepped, 1999 version to commence testing.
To run an RSV Mille in the televised National "Mille" Cup
you must have.................

Dunlop Wets allowed.
Standard
Bike with factory exhaust and ignition Chip Set only
(£250 +VAT)
Open to any Mille of any age except the SP version (well it wouldn't be fair !)
UK Bikes only, no Imports allowed.
All the Graphics and logos are by Tim at DESIGN-A-COVER (see links
page).
Thanks Tim.


The body work has all been replaced by Vimori Racing Products, (see links
page)
fantastically light, and bolted straight on with no fuss ! Superb.
Looks better than it did, don't you think ???
I've just received the Formula Pipe and Chip
set and I have to say I'm a bit puzzled.
Which of these pipes is the New Titanium Aprilia Racing all
singing all dancing Pipe ??
Nope, try again !
it's the one on the Right
! The other is the Promotive Pipe I already have,
60mm opening as opposed to the 45mm
opening of the Aprilia Race Can. How can that be any good ??
The matching
Chip looks nice, it better work hard !
Judging by the Dyno Curve
we have plenty to do if we are
going to be competitive !
God it looks sick, what can it be ?
>>>Fuel ?
>>>Ignition ?
>>>Plugs?
>>>Fuel Filter?
>>>Air Filter ?
>>>Clutch ?
>>>All of the above ??
We have a few jobs on, the plugs are shot, the chain and sprocket set are beyond this
world and the bodywork all needs replacing with lightweight racing kit.
Talon are cutting a new range of sprockets to suit the Mille,
and will be supplying the team a range of ratios, front and back just as soon as they have
tooled up. SOON!
This is the front Sprocket we took off.
As you can see, there weren't a lot of choices in 1999.
They had to cut and weld two sprockets together YUCK !
The rear sprocket was OK, but the front must have been eating chains alive for months !
Must get in touch with TALON for some new ones !
(see links page)
The dash works brilliantly !
There is a Lap Counter and Max Speed recorder built in amongst other things.
Anyone need instructions ???
we'll freshen all the fuel system and ignition then run it up on
the dyno again !
122bhp at the back wheel just won't do !
