Accossato's version for the RSV4 replaces the stock caps with a pair machined from aluminium and anodised to order, with a 22 mm hexagon at the centre so a socket finds purchase cleanly instead of rounding off a slot. The pack holds two, one per fork leg, in a finish chosen to match the rest of the bike rather than left to chance. On a machine built around a V4 engine and firm, focused suspension, getting the preload tool onto the adjuster without drama is worth more than it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFork preload adjuster for the Aprilia RSV4, 2011-2012 and 2015-2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22 mm internal hexagon, matched to the stock socket size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined aluminium, anodised to order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pair, one adjuster per fork leg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven colours: blue, green, black, red, silver, titanium, gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso fits any adjuster with the same 22 mm hexagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMC001, ST001 and ST006 are listed for the same RSV4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE on file; offered for track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjuster is machined from aluminium on CNC equipment rather than cast, which is how Accossato holds the 22 mm hexagon to a size that takes a socket without play. Anodising follows the machining, and it is this layer that carries the colour rather than paint, so the finish stays keyed into the metal instead of sitting on top of it. Seven colours are available: blue, green, black, red, silver, titanium and gold, giving a rider room to match the cap to bodywork, wheels or other anodised parts already on the bike. Accossato states the function plainly: the adjuster sets the pre-stressing of the fork springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSetting Up Before the Season\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreload is usually the first adjustment a rider makes when the RSV4 comes out of winter storage, before compression or rebound get touched, because it decides how much of the fork's travel is used just supporting the bike's own weight. Reaching that adjuster easily, with a socket that locates on the hexagon instead of chewing at it, makes the job quicker to repeat as tyres, fuel load or rider weight change through a season. The two caps accept the same 22 mm tool on both legs, so the adjustment stays even side to side, which matters more on a V4 sportbike than on something softer sprung.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato lists this adjuster for the RSV4 1000 Factory APRC STD of 2011 and 2012, and for the RSV4 1000 Racing Factory and Racing Factory LE built between 2015 and 2018. The ring also fits any fork top with the same 22 mm hexagon, which is why Accossato describes it as compatible beyond the models named here. The same part is listed separately for the Aprilia RSV4 RR. Mirror block-off covers, and swingarm stand bobbins with and without rubber protection, are also available for this RSV4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not hold test or approval documents for this adjuster, no ABE and no separate inspection certificate, so we list it for racing and competition use rather than for the road. That is a statement about the paperwork on file with us, not a judgement on how the part is made, and riders taking an RSV4 onto a circuit will recognise the distinction already.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack contains two adjusters, matched for the pair of fork legs, in the single colour chosen at checkout.
