What 2013 Aprilia Tuono owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
This complaint concerns the stator (charging) assembly for the aprilia tuono v4. In my experience, I have had to replace my charging system, at my cost, because the stator burned itself up, preventing the charging of the battery. In reading a forum for this bike, it is a widespread issue and has caused many to be stranded. My stator burned itself up with my odometer showing 8,113 miles. Aprilia has produced a new, updated stator and rotor assembly, but refuses to recall the motorcycle to change this $350 assembly. The vehicle was stationary when I attempted to start my motorcycle and the voltage was less than required from the battery. Many owners believe the battery is the initial culprit and replace it errantly.
The stator quite charging and voltage dropped to below 10.2v on 6/28/2015 11,236 miles stalled on highway. Dealer replaced under warranty but on 5/24/2016 @15,500 miles stator has failed again.
