Aprilia RSV Mille/Sportster 1200 Flat-Rate Motorcycle Inspection

For various reasons, we ended up doing them one at a time…
If all four had gone through, we wouldn’t have to come back this week, but that’s how it goes.

Aprilia RSV Mille: I did adjust it with the headlight, but I was estimating only a 70% success rate, and since we had a customer coming after noon, I focused on this one bike to be safe.
Right into the strike zone—nailed it on the first try! ★ This was the first time I’ve dealt with a bike where the headlight was so dim that adjustment wouldn’t work.

Sportster 1200. It does have exhaust emissions, but it’s a model without a catalytic converter, so no worries.
Depending on the year, some have catalytic converters and some don’t. If you’re requesting an inspection for 2002 or later, please let us know the “model type” and “engine model type” and we can confirm right away. Feel free to contact us anytime.
The H4 was reassuringly bright.

Emissions are very comfortable too. These numbers are always fluctuating slightly, and they differ between cold and warm conditions.
Even stock bikes can fail when cold, so you need to be careful.

It’s warm in the afternoon, but if customers come then, I can’t get any work done.

Newtech oil change: “10W-50″—give it a try sometime.
All done! ★
