Track experience with my Aprilia RSV4 after multiple updates

The new livery looks stellar, while the new Gabro Racing map has really woken up the bike.

BHPian vignesh.cv recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

The track-day happened at MMRT as planned. Thankfully, the travel restrictions were cleared and we could make it. After a lot of deliberation, I finally went with the Alitalia WSBK paint scheme for the race fairings. The good folks at IndiMotard were working in the background with AJ Customs to make this dream of mine come through. They had planned to unveil the bike with the new livery at the track. I withheld my curiosity and just went along with the plan.

Little did I know what the finished product looked like. The folks at AJ Customs have done a stellar job at making the livery come to life. It takes some skill to figure out the proportions and layout by just looking at pictures from the internet. The paint finish was as good as it came from the factory. I was impressed and very happy with the way the bike looked. Huge thanks to Anand, everyone at IndiMotard as well as the folks at AJ Customs.

The track-day itself went pretty well. I wasn't in the best mental or physical state to improve myself from the last time around - I had not been doing my routine in that regard. The new map from GabroRacing has really woken up the bike. The off-on throttle transitions are crisp and the motor pulls really well out of corners now. The top end has improved significantly as I managed to see some new terminal speed numbers in the short straights. It is a bit fearsome and angry. The part about Gabro's map is the revised TC calibration - he basically takes the OE TC calibration and takes the first four levels and fine-tunes them into 8 levels. With Pirelli slicks, I never saw the TC kick in with the tyres being new. There was so much mechanical grip on offer. Of course, my skill level isn't there to push it so much to make the TC intervene, but it was amazing nevertheless.

This is the first time I'm using a tyre warmer and the amount of grip on offer right from the word go was just incredible. Gave me so much confidence to not worry about grip right from the out lap. I'm very happy with the way the bike has turned out and as always, I need to continue investing in myself to do justice to the bike.
