Excellent job and Thank You! You do your oil changes the same way as me including pouring a little through with the drain plug off to flush a little more old oil out. There aren't many "how to" videos on these bikes. I don't have one yet (eyeing the Tuono 660.) I do all my own maintenance and one of the decisions on the bike is amount of info. on maintenance and how expensive and time consuming maintenance is.

Thank you I appreciate that! These were my thoughts when I first got my RS660, that there was not enough “how to” content so I decided to make some. I’m soon to be due for brake pads so I will do a video on that plus removing wheels. The valve clearance is something that I’m working on. Initially I’m planning to do a video on valve clearance inspection only. The adjustment will be tricky as I can’t find individual shim sizes readily available within a day. The RS660 uses unique shaped shims that are chamfered on the edges. Kind of like a round trapezius shape. And I don’t wan’t to but the whole shim kit as at $700+ it doesn’t make financial sense. We’ll see. I try to make the videos enjoyable and to the point without overwhelming music. But man video editing is more tiring than wrenching lol. The Tuono 660 is a great bike. I’d choose the factory.

Thank you brother! ✌️The OEM oil filter on the ‘23 is 65mm. The OEM filter on the ‘21 is 68mm. Hand tight and a 1/4 turn with a wrench will do just fine. Don’t even worry about it.

You should buy the Tuono heel guard for the right side. It's a nice plastic cover that protects the swingarm, and it fits/matches perfectly on the RS. That way you can get rid of the worn, clear protective plastic film. You can snag it from AF1 Racing along with the three 3M pads that are needed to install it.

After the 600 mile service, how many miles should the oil be changed? Do you recommend getting the upmap? I have a full SC Project

@ALFAVITAGA

2 жыл бұрын

Aprilia recommends an oil change every 10,000km or 6,200 miles. I don’t recommend that, as oil change is very cheap and worth doing often to protect your engine. It all depends on how you ride. A good medium is around 3000km or 1850 miles but never more than a year. If you track your bike I’d say 2-4 track days. This specific oil change was the third oil change overall at 2800 miles and the first oil change since the 600 mile service. So I went for about 2200 miles and the oil looked like it should have been changed sooner. I’d say 1800 miles is what I prefer. Now for your full SC Project, you need a tune, as the RS660 runs very lean due to Euro 5 compliance. What tune you choose doesn’t really matter, but I chose Upmap for ease of use.

Amazing video! Just a question, how did you change the color of the front red sticker to black? Did you remove the red and replace it with a black one? If so, where di you buy it? What about the carbon piece where the key is inserted? Thanks and keep it up!

@ALFAVITAGA

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! The carbon piece I got from AF1 racing. I also ordered a 54 titles sticker from AF1 to give that OEM look. I removed the front red sticker, but I did not add a black one. So its just plain. But that is the goal. To add a black sticker with the Aprilia logo on it. I’m still working on how to do that. I don’t believe Aprilia makes one, therefore the only solution would be a custom sticker. Once the bike is complete I’m planning to do a full walk-around of all the mods.

Hey buddy, I saw someone made a video saying it is 2.3 qt oil now the manufacturer is changed, so you put 2.5, was that perfect or a little too much?

Aprilia released an update for oil capacity at 2300cc. I pinned a comment on this. 2500cc was acceptable, I had no issues. When I change oil I go by increments until I get a correct reading on the oil stick. Sometimes there is residual oil in the engine so you can’t always go by number alone. I don’t know how much an oil change costs at a dealer. That depends on where you live and what the labor hour costs. In LA labor hour is around $120 to $180. I would say on average an oil change would cost $250 at a dealer. The cost to change it yourself would be around $80. Regarding the service light on the dash, you can’t reset it on your own. You need to take it to the dealer and they would charge you a minimum 1 labor hour.

Does doing your own engine work on your Aprilia trigger a code that has to be cleared by a technician?

@ALFAVITAGA

No, performing your own maintenance on the Aprilia does not trigger any codes. The only code that is triggered is the wrench icon on the dash on every maintenance increment suggested by Aprilia. So the first wrench icon pops at 1000 miles which is the first service, the second at 6000 miles and the third at 12000 miles and so on. That icon can only be reset by your dealer, but its not triggered by any action of yours.

@ALFAVITAGA

2 жыл бұрын

Your engine oil should not smell like gas. If it does, it’s not the end of the world but if you don’t take it to the dealer, it can end up being catastrophic. There are multiple reasons why your oil might have a fuel odor. Non of the reasons should apply to a new bike. Internal engine wear on the piston rings, faulty fuel injectors, faulty spark plugs, and anything that can cause a very rich air/fuel ratio leading in unburned fuel. Unburned fuel washes past the piston rings, ending up in the oil pan. This will lead to oil/fuel mixture which will affect the viscosity of the oil, leading to poor lubrication. Poor lubrication will lead to engine failure. The ticking sound you hear could be the cam chain tensioner(cct) and not the valves. It might be loose or the rubber o-ring could be the issue. The Aprilia CCT o-rings are notorious for failing. The CCT is automatic and it might need to be reset. If its not the CCT it could be a valve clearance issue or the valve retainers might be failing. The retainers fail easy too. But I can’t diagnose your bike from here. Your bike is under warranty. Don’t be disappointed, just take it to your dealer and they will place a warranty claim. Chances are they will give you a new engine for free. It’s much easier for Aprilia to just swap the engine with a new one, instead of going through multiple variables to fix a problem that could return. Don’t stress. You are under warranty. Take your bike to your dealer my friend. ✌️
