I dont know about the 1050, but i downloaded all the manuals for my Tuono online, used the Aprilia website. Cast around mate, someone will have posted it, I reckon.

Found a workshop manual while looking for the owner's manual. ABS though, but no doubt useful.

One word of advice. Keep the battery up to scratch and avoid trying to start if battery is drained/failing. Early 1050's have a weak sprag clutch and fail loudly. Also avoid LiFePO4 batteries...they will do your 1050 no favours.
Oh I nearly forgot...congratulations and enjoy your new ride!

Thanks - downloaded boh ;-)
wHY AVOID THE (argh I hae caps lock) battery????

The battery may cause ANZAC Day issues.
Fantastic purchase Paul. Looking forward to you chroming the frame and swingarm and adding an extra wheel. If you route the exhaust through the new extended two wheel swingarm, you'll be able to put a decent sub-woofer in the hole the exhaust used to occupy. I know this guy who can airbrush a wicked python. I've PMed his details.

They don't like the cold and in my experience, start degrading from 15˚C down. Sometimes they require waking up (running lights, hiting start button) in order to start the bike. None of which is good for your sprag. While lead-acid will crank with less vigor during Summer, it will remain consistant thoughout the year.
Replacement sprag is larger than original and is more resistant to failure. Cost for replacement is in excess of $1k.

Shit - not ANZAC day issues.... How about if i reset the clock to a date before the landings, heck - why not to 1647 and avoid the whole thing....

If you don't mind me asking - Whats with the headlight? Low beam is acceptable but high beam seems to um - 'lack penetration'... cough....

Don't blame me, you're the one who suddenly fast-forwarded 25 years into the future. These are your timeline issues to sort out.

Sorry, can't help with that Paul as mine is a Speed Triple i.e. two useless headlights as opposed to one.

Congratulations on the new purchase. BIKE liked the Sprint much better then the later Sprint GT. Not sure about the battery references, and not wishing to jinx myself, but the Speed Triple has not given any trouble and as someone said I was runniing every electrical accessory known to man.
You'll love that engine, it's a really great road engine.

Yes its great. Just back from a quick two up ride to the Hutt and back. Getting windy and wet here now so it was a good test. Saggy suspension aside its great to have a bike that sort of goes 'pillion? what pillion????' and you really only need to change down if you feel like it or the road speed drops ridiculously. Other wise its just twist and go and we got off feeling short changed - come on, lets go to Taupo sort of deal.... Well it was once I stopped gripping the bars and seat in a demented death grip. As Jim said this is a leap forwards several generations for us so adjustment will take some time.
End of the day this is EXACTLY what we wanted and needed. Very pleased.

sounds good..i was very impressed with the 1050 sport i took for a ride the other day..triples rock(in more ways than one)

Congrats Paul, and welcome to the world of Hinkley Triples. I would concur with Big Daves comment earlier.
Experience......something you get just after you needed it
Forum whore
Thanks mate - we are thus far stoked....
Gave the old suspension a wee tweak... Set to a bit stiffer than the owners manual specified once i freed the adjusters up and it transformed the bike. Smoother and sharper steering.... Not perfect but way better. The front was set softer than factory by a mile...
Didnt even get me fingers dirty..... sweet.....
