Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 2020-2024 Service Manual

Cycle World's own retrospective doesn't undersell the significance of the mid-cycle engine update within this range: "when Aprilia updated its RSV4 back in 2021, the Italian manufacturer transformed the V-4-engined race replica from an also-ran in superbike comparison tests to an outright winner. Boosting the engine displacement from 1,077cc to 1,099cc via a larger bore doesn't sound like much on paper, but the bigger engine coupled with other subtle tweaks along with more sophisticated electronics made the RSV4 1100 an eye-opening performer." MCN's own 2020 review confirms this generation was already "the lightest and most powerful full production RSV4 ever" before that 2021 bore increase pushed things even further.

Power comes from a longitudinal 65-degree V4, DOHC with 16 valves, delivering a claimed 217 hp at 13,200 rpm and roughly 90-92 lb-ft of torque at 10,500-11,000 rpm through a 6-speed gearbox with wet clutch — WebBikeWorld's own coverage of the 2020 model notes the "classic Aprilia longitudinal 65° 4-stroke V4 engine produces an exceptional 217 horsepower," with Aprilia trimming overall weight through extensive carbon fiber components rather than chasing further engine output that year specifically.

MCN's own review details the Factory trim's defining hardware for 2020: "electronic Öhlins suspension, which Aprilia says is worth half a second a lap around Mugello," a genuine step beyond the standard RSV4's suspension, delivering smoother real-world road manners alongside outright track performance gains. Cycle World's own 2024 buyer's guide confirms the range-topping Factory trim by this point runs Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension at both ends, forged aluminum wheels, and an Öhlins electronic adjustable steering damper. WebBikeWorld's own coverage lists genuine premium materials throughout the 2020 Factory: carbon fiber used on the front mudguard, side panels, exhaust terminal guard, aerodynamic winglets, and front tank cover, paired with an Akrapovic titanium end can and a lithium battery for genuine weight savings.

Braking uses dual 320mm floating front discs with Brembo Stylema monobloc radial 4-piston calipers and a 220mm rear disc with 2-piston calipers, riding on 120/70 ZR17 front and 200/55 ZR17 rear tires on a 55.9-inch wheelbase. 2020 US pricing started at $25,499 in a matte black Atomic Racer livery, climbing to $25,999-$26,499 by 2024 across Ultra Gold, Time Attack, and Speed White colorways, with a limited-production RSV4 Factory SE-09 SBK 1100 celebrating the 2009 WSBK Championship-winning RSV4 ridden by Max Biaggi, featuring carbon front fender and brake caliper cooling intakes plus a serial-numbered fuel tank.

This factory service manual covers the procedures, torque specs, and diagrams needed to keep a 2020-2024 RSV4 1100 Factory running the way it was built to.
