Aprilia RSV Mille, RSV Mille R Parts Catalog

You’ve pulled the frame off a 2000 Aprilia RSV Mille, RSV Mille R Parts Catalog job and now you’re staring at a handful of bolts with no clue which spacer goes where. Run an aftermarket parts lookup and you get a generic drawing that might match a Tuono instead. That’s where this catalog earns its keep. 69 pages of factory exploded views, part numbers, and fastener callouts that leave zero room for guesswork. It’s the same binder the dealer parts counter uses when they key in your VIN. If you’ve ever ordered an M6x70 screw and received an M6x16, you know exactly why this matters.

Frame I and II: Locating the Correct Fasteners

Page 1 of the catalog breaks down the saddle support and rear fairing support for both the RSV Mille “STD” and the “R” version. The R model uses a distinct saddle support (ref. 1) with a different threaded rivet (ref. 2) and a hex socket screw M10x30. Page 2 dives into coil supports, the instrument holder frame, and the frame itself – you’ll see separate listings for USA-market frames versus the rest of the world. Every clip, circlip (d8), and snap ring has its own row. Missing a part number means you either buy the wrong clip or waste time cross-referencing a photo on a forum. This catalog gives you the reference number and the description verbatim.

69 Pages of Factory Parts Breakdown

Sixty-nine pages. That sounds thin for a motorcycle that splits into two versions, but Aprilia packed each spread with multiple tables. Frame I, Frame II, Frame III – each page covers a different zone of the chassis. You get the coil supports, the cable guides, the water cooler upper support, and every screw with its thread size and length. The catalog also includes a warning in the header: “in case of parts substitution, apply the info-decals contained in the decal-kit.” That’s the kind of detail aftermarket websites skip. If you’re swapping a part that changes the bike’s configuration, the decal kit updates the warning stickers. This catalog tells you that upfront.

RSV Mille vs RSV Mille R: How the Catalog Handles Both Versions

The STD and R models share many components, but the catalog marks every difference with a column titled “VERSION” and “VERSION_1.” For example, the saddle support has two rows: one tagged “R” and one tagged “STD.” The lower water cooler support (page 3, ref. 11) is shared, but the upper adjustment bush (ref. 16) is specific to the R. If you own an RSV Mille R and need the conical bush (ref. 19) or the low self-locking nut M6 (ref. 20), this single document covers both without forcing you to flip between two different binders. That alone saves you from ordering the wrong spacer because you misread a forum post.

Use the Part Numbers Before You Order

Every row in this catalog ends with a part number. Not a vague “see dealer” or a reference to a third‑party supplier – an official Aprilia number. The “REF. TAV.” column gives you the reference tavola (table) number, and the “DETAIL” column breaks down dimensions: M5x12, M6x16, M10x35, M10x40. You also get the self-locking nut callouts and the curved spring washer spec. I’ve seen guys order a flanged screw M6x20 when they needed M6x16 because the aftermarket site listed “M6 screw” with no length. That mistake costs an hour of shop time waiting for the correct fastener. This catalog puts the exact length in front of you before you touch the phone.

Source Validity: OEM Print vs. Aftermarket Copied Diagrams

This PDF is a direct scan of the original Aprilia parts catalog, not a re‑typed version that introduces typos in part numbers. The file name itself – Aprilia_RSV_Mille-RSV_Mille_R_2000_Parts_Catalog_en-14714000368.pdf – matches the factory numbering system. Aftermarket manuals often compress multiple models into one drawing, blurring country‑specific details like the USA frame (page 2, ref. 13). Here, the USA frame gets its own row with country code “USA.” The rest of the world gets a separate listing. If you’re restoring an RSV Mille for DOT compliance, that distinction matters. For more factory documentation, check the Aprilia RSV mille 1999 Training Manual or the aprilia RSV mille 2002 Workshop Manual if you need torque values and service procedures. For other Aprilia models, the Aprilia RS 125 1999-2003 Parts Catalog covers a different platform. External background on why OEM parts matter can be found at Automotive Industry Overview and Automotive Industry Overview.

Does this catalog list torque specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. For torque values, get the workshop manual.

Can I use this to identify parts for my 2000 RSV Mille R?

Yes, this catalog explicitly covers the RSV Mille R version. The column “VERSION” marks “R” for R‑specific parts and “STD” for standard. Every fastener (screw, washer, self‑locking nut) is listed by size and length. Country‑specific frames (USA vs. I‑A‑AUS‑B‑CH‑D‑DK‑E‑F‑GR‑J‑NL‑P‑UK) have separate rows, so you can match the part to your bike’s market. The catalog also includes the decal‑kit warning about info‑decals when substituting parts – a detail that prevents safety sticker omissions during rebuilds. If your frame number falls within the 2000 model year, you will find the correct exploded view and part number.

You have the frame in pieces, the old bolts in a cup, and no desire to make two trips to the dealer. This catalog gives you the part numbers, the lengths, the thread pitches, and the country‑specific frame ID so you can place a single order and get back to wrenching. Access the Factory Manual and put the correct fasteners on the bench before you reassemble.
