2018 Tuono V4 1100 Factory. - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: With 129 kW @ 11000rpm and 120 Nm @ 9000 rpm of torque on tap, the Tuono V4 1100 Factory. is no slouch for its class.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: Fuel injection means consistent cold starts and clean throttle response without the fussiness of a carbureted setup.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: An 18.5-litre tank means fewer stops on longer rides - a genuine plus for touring or a lengthy daily commute.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: At 825 mm, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
Tuono V4 1100 Factory.'s Liquid cooled setup is low-maintenance provided the coolant interval is kept - old, acidic coolant is the main cause of long-term corrosion in the water passages.
Fuelling & injector care
The 4 Weber-Marelli 48-mm throttle bodies with 4 injectors and latest generation Ride-by-Wire engine management on the Tuono V4 1100 Factory. needs little beyond good fuel and periodic use of an injector-cleaner additive - no jetting or float-bowl maintenance to worry about.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from dual 320 mm floating stainless steel discs with lightweight stainless steel rotor with 6 studs [aluminium flange] Brembo M432 monobloc radial callipers with 4 x Ø32 mm opposing pistons with sintered pads and axial pump master cylinder and metal braided brake hoses - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The Tuono V4 1100 Factory.'s suspension runs Upside-down "one by one" Öhlins fork with TIN surface treatment fork, ø 43 mm stanchions. Forged aluminium radial calliper mounting bracket. Completely adjustable spring preload and hydraulic compression and rebound damping at the front. The rear uses Double braced aluminium swingarm; mixed low thickness and sheet casting technology. Öhlins Racing monoshock with piggy-back, fully adjustable in: spring preload, wheelbase length, hydraulics in compression and rebound. APS progressive linkages. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The Tuono V4 1100 Factory. uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Frame & chassis check
Built around an Aluminium dual beam chassis with pressed and cast sheet elements. Sachs steering damper, the Tuono V4 1100 Factory.'s chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
Tuono V4 1100 Factory. - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2018 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory. with its 1077 cc sport, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 8 years old, this sport is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Tuono V4 1100 Factory. should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects the Tuono V4 1100 Factory.'s 1077 cc longitudinal 65° v4 cylinder, 4-stroke, dohc, four valves per cylinder like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the Tuono V4 1100 Factory. needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
