My sv front end swap (RSV mille) and rebuild (loads of pics)

well after my off i managed to get hold of a rsv mille front end so hear is my log of what i have done so far

well this was the bike stripped down after my off all the damaged parts removed to be replaced/repaired



then i sorted this lot out while waiting for the forks and stuf, and sent off the sv stem to be pressed in to the rsv yoke

all panels repaired and fitted


My make shift head bearing tool, lol old race cut so i can hammer the new tapered race in, the cutting of the old race took ages must be hardened steal


new race pressed in


new taperd bearings in, need to get some grease though


tided the mess of cables up at the front, moved to behind the head stock, had to cut the air box snorkel to make sure it could breath enough with the cables there



New (to me) can, stubbied ART


got the brembo callipers for the new front end, they were in a right state



cleaned


and mounted up on the forks (also cleaned and polished up)




Rotors, these are pretty hefty and very thick compared to the sv ones (need a clean)



Thanks for looking

Keep an eye on the fuelling now you've cut the air box with the new can.
I know I have a curvy but the whole thing was dyno'd and rejetted to suit the air filter butchery and Art stubby set up(yours is much shorter than mine!).
I know things are slightly different on the pointy, but equates to the same.
TBH I reckon if it hadn't had the air filter fiddled with it would have worked perfectly fine under stock conditions...now I can't put in a standard filter as it gets really bogged down. Permanent butchered filter is the only thing she likes!

Did you have to re-use the old piston seals in the calipers, Barwell? I've got a sticking piston on one of mine and, according to the ducati site, there are no seal kits available. Except maybe from a KTM dealer

What year and model are calipers off?
If you've got an inkling that KTM is use the calipers (very good chance as the LC4 Prestige's use a brembo that looks v similar) you are probably right.

The importer for KTM is based in Peterborugh I think or try these who are the best on the web http://www.ktmforum.co.uk/showthread...r-spares/page5

Good job on those calipers! They look a million times better!

same ones as from my VRaptor on first glance, so thats anywhere from 2000-2005 off top of my head.
I know the rear brakes are same as Aprillia too. Share the same master cylinder, so pretty much reckon the front to be the same.

Because main jet size has been increased to suit... pointies seem to get away with snorkel mods without having many problems.

More airflow = good anyway... snorkel is only there to keep EU muppets happy.

I bet it will not be if you service it before it goes wrong.

KTM do use the same seals (and brakes) and are the only sellers of brembo spares see above for product numbers
