Spoke to the dealer about the 625 mile service, they said the valves had to be done, but on checking the handbook it say's the valves are not checked untill the 12,500 mile service.
What have you guys had done?
RSV1000R, 2005 (55 plate)

I contacted Aprilia UK on this and was told it was a printing error in the '05 manual and then they proceeded to send me the '04 manual. I think the error is in the original '04 manual ie. It specifies a valve check at 625 miles but NOT at 3,125 miles (when used for racing). I would have thought that the valves would need checking when racing, but not straight from post run in (what do I know!!). Apparently Aprilia UK faxed all dealers on this 'mis-print' on 12/10/2005.
