DescriptionThe whole story▼

A 999 cc sportbike like the RSV4 carries its expensive parts exactly where it lands. The WAPAP401 fits front and rear on the RSV4, built from an elastic nylon body and an Ergal insert. It is offered in 4 colours: Black, Gold, Red, Silver. The kit costs less than an hour of workshop time on a RSV4.

Key Features

  • Fitting the WAPAP401 to a RSV4 is measured in minutes, not hours
  • Supplied complete with the hardware the RSV4 installation needs
  • Nylon was chosen over aluminium so the WAPAP401 deforms instead of loading the RSV4 axle
  • Protects the fork bottoms and swingarm ends of the RSV4 in a low-speed fall
  • Available in 4 finishes for the RSV4: Black, Gold, Red, Silver
  • Ergal is the alloy family LighTech also uses for its RSV4 rearsets

The Idea Behind It

Protection here is a matter of millimetres — the slider has to reach past the axle nut. LighTech's answer on the WAPAP401 is a two-material build: nylon that flexes, Ergal that holds. The result weighs 200 g and can be rebuilt with a new insert after a fall.

Fitment

The WAPAP401 is catalogued by LighTech for the Aprilia RSV4 and nothing else in this listing. Nothing on the RSV4 has to be cut; the kit bolts to what is there.

Construction and Material Quality

What touches the ground on the RSV4 is nylon, and that is deliberate. The coloured core is Ergal, light enough not to matter on the RSV4 and strong enough to hold. The design assumes the WAPAP401 will be used, and makes the used part the cheap one.

Scope of Delivery

The WAPAP401 ships as a complete axle set for the RSV4: shells, inserts and the bolts that hold them. If the RSV4 needs a second kit later, the WAPAP401 number is the only thing to quote.

Fitting

The WAPAP401 goes onto the RSV4 with the bike on a stand and nothing dismantled. Check the clearance to RSV4 bodywork once fitted — spacers are included precisely for that. Whichever of the 4 colours you take for the RSV4, the WAPAP401 mounting is unchanged.

Approval and Road Use

LighTech does not issue approval papers for the WAPAP401, and neither do we. The decision on a road-legal RSV4 belongs to your inspection body. For a track-only RSV4 there is nothing to clarify.
