Hi guys,

Just traded my RSV4 RF in for a Gen 3.

The V4 was mega but saw far too many horror stories of spring failure.

With no options of updated springs i decided it was far more hassle than its worth to own one.

Also with no peace of mind i was never going to fully enjoy it without the possibility it could drop its arse at any moment ?

So fingers crossed this Gen 3is as reliable as its supposed to be.

Anyways thats about it ?

Cheers

Cav
 
Hey welcome,

I assume you had a 15-16 RSV4 with the spring failure? As from 17 didn't they update?

How's it compare to your RSV4 the Gen 3?
 
Hey mate, yes it was a 15 RF, the springs have changed 4 times in 10 years but ive also seen 17/18s give in as well, The AF1 forum is filled with them ranging from 2009s all the way to 2018s.

After so long you would of expected this to not be happening really, I'm gutted that its gone as i really liked the bike.
