[@tristenwilliams1943]

Just bought an RS 660 on Saturday. I absolutely love it! I’ve had two late model ZX6R’s in the past and ridden a lot of other bikes, and this bike is way more fun than any of the more serious superbikes. Looking into mods and I really appreciate this video, thanks for showing me what’s possible!

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Thank you my friend! A lot of people get infatuated by engine power and neglect multiple other variables that can make a bike fun, comfortable, agile, and in turn make you faster as a rider on that bike due to the benefits that it offers. I was always faster on the RS660 than I was on any other powerful 600. One of my personal preferences on ergonomics is the upgraded triple clamp with clip ons. The stock handlebars are too tall for my style of riding and a must modification for me. You will love your 660 even more as you built it to your preference.✌️

[@user-ij5ju9hn3i]

@@ALFAVITAGA I am contemplating getting the Ohlins rear shock offered by Aprillia. What do you think?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@user-ij5ju9hn3i How much do you weight with gear? How many miles do you have on your RS660? What is your riding level?

[@user-ij5ju9hn3i]

@@ALFAVITAGA 85kg. Zero. Collecting my Extrema within two weeks. Intermediate riding level.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@user-ij5ju9hn3i Based on your weight with gear, the stock rear spring will be able to give you enough preload before you start losing static sag. That preload will give you a good amount of rider sag for your riding level. Same goes for the shock oil and rebound. It will give you enough rebound clicks out from zero, for proper rebound. Now the stock shock suffers more on rebound than it suffers in spring preload. Spring is spring and spring rate is determined by the riders weight. As time goes by and you put more miles on your bike and you progress on your riding skills you may need a stiffer spring. But chances are that you will run out of rebound before you run out of preload. As oil degrades and your riding skills progress, you will find yourself being 1 or 2 clicks out on rebound. That is your indication of you needing a new shock. Start with the stock shock and set your suspension based on your weight. You will find that the stock shock does a fine job if set properly. Don’t rush to spend thousands on upgraded suspension just because people claim that the RS660 shock is bad. It’s not. It’s just not good for advanced riders that need stiffer spring for aggressive rider sag and a wider range of rebound or even compression that the RS660 shock does not have. Stick to the stock shock in the begging and ride it until you run it. I also have a video on my channel on how to setup the RS660 suspension if you want to check it out.

[@josgraha]

beautiful bike man, mine is still a work in progress but inspiring. i don't know about you but one of the high priority items on my list after riding it is suspension upgrade, i think that would just make the bike perfect, my only nit on the bike given i'm on the heavier side :). also maybe worth getting mag or carbon wheels. but thank you so much

[@josgraha]

fwiw, i think it's worth it. this bike is just such a perfect blend, i'm sure that Aprilia will continue to do bold things like they did with the Trofeo but getting the parts and configuration you want, that's just a cost for having the perfect bike for you, you'll never get that back out of the bike except in how much you love looking at and riding it. also my driver's license is thanking me every day for having enough restraint to _not_ get the RSV4 ... gracias a dios LOLOL

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Thank you! If you are over 200lbs, chances are you will need a new rear shock. Or at the very least just a new spring with a different spring rate. ✌️

[@Riversqt]

She's absolutely stunning, got just one question, does the SC Project Heelguard on the left side is comprised in the one you linked in the description or is it just an oopsie? Really considering getting an RS660 soon. Also one last question, did it come with all the ugly Aprilia stickers and did you remove em? Was it hard?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Thank you! On the left side there is no heel guard other than the heel guard from the Spider rearsets. I’m assuming since you mentioned SC Project, you are probably referring to the left side swingarm cover where I have the SC Project sticker? If thats what you mean then that comes stock with the bike. I just added the sticker. I also removed most of the Aprilia stickers with a hair dryer. It was very easy to do and they peel right off if you apply heat to them. ✌️

[@kylegatewood4947]

I think for your headlights, you should get dark tint headlight covers from either fast bike bits or STP race products. I have the dark tint headlight covers on my ‘22 RS 660 and it makes it look much better.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I could but it costs around $40 compared to $15 that I payed for the entire wrap that I can wrap more than one bike. But cost is not the major drawback for me. It’s the fact that the tint covers don’t come in black matte but only gloss. Also the lines don’t match perfectly to cover the entire headlight. Plus I don’t only want to tint the inner headlight but the outer also as seen on the video. For these reasons I prefer to vinyl wrap them. But if all the above were covered by this product I would definitely purchase it and save time in wrapping them. Thanks for the tip though. For some this product will be a better substitute to wrapping.

[@kylegatewood4947]

That’s definitely understandable

[@frankdimaano9387]

I would like to see all Carbon RS660. That would be the first!! That would look bad ass for an RS660

[@ALFAVITAGA]

💯👌✌️

[@christosganidis]

how is the visibility with the wrap over the headlights? do you have any photos/videos uploaded to your instagram acc?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I never rode it at night so I don’t have an answer. I would assume that at least with the high beam you would have some visibility. But I wouldn’t recommend it for night riders. ✌️

[@motomaniac4129]

Could you tell me how did you mount the lever guards because I want to buy bonamici clip ons and dont know if mine current guards will fit cause they are mounted by bolts

[@ALFAVITAGA]

The Bonamici clip ons have a hollow tube. They are not compatible with bolt screw lever guards just like the stock handlebars. Any aftermarket lever guard that utilizes the expandable insert should work.

[@MondayyTuesday]

What happened to that AliExress seat cowl you had installed in a previous short video? That thing looked sweet

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I have it. I just chose to install the Aprilia cowl for this video. It does look good. Its hard to choose between the two.

[@orangeballs4536]

im curious about how the clip ons with someone riding it and how ti feels compared to stock, and how does it compare to like a proper supersport like an r6 or a 636

[@ALFAVITAGA]

The body position feels more like a proper supersport. I have ridden an R6 and it feels very similar. Although somehow the RS660 felt more comfortable than the R6 even with clip ons. For me the clip ons is a must modification for the RS660.

[@WaltDesine]

Boy! You Got Everything But the Super Light Weight Racing Wheels! OH, and some Olens or racing shocks would be nice as well... #PerfomanceFirst

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Yes, this thing with Ohlins and forged wheels will be a different game ✌️

[@WaltDesine]

@@ALFAVITAGA Carbon fiber... It's about the Weight! Spinning Mass reduction = Performance...

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@WaltDesine Carbon fiber wheels are a bit lighter than magnesium or forged aluminum but I don’t trust carbon fiber wheels for the road. Very unpredictable. There is a reason motogp does not use carbon fiber wheels. If that wheel cracks you are done, and there is no warning. But unsprung weight is where all the weight reduction shines!

[@maxvonk1027]

wait u placed vinyl on ur headlight? does the light go through or do u not right at night etc? Very clean bike btw. Hope I can get one next year

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Thank you! The light does not go through. I left the high beam uncovered in case Im caught in the night which I almost never do.

[@TheLionKing1388]

The Luimoto seat only, without the gel is comfortable? Better or worse than the stock seat?

The Luimoto is only a cover. Its not a seat. It just wraps on top of the stock seat. So its equally comfortable.

[@massakai1144]

Do you think that the rs660 is reliable I read somewhere that they had engine issues?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

The first production models had some recalls with the con rods. They shorted them out quick. Any model after May 2021 was not under any recalls. Some oil pan leaks were reported, but resolved under warranty with just tightening the oil pan bolts or replacing the gasket. Other than that no issues. My RS660 never had any of these issues.

[@matviyk3066]

how tall are you? How does this bike feel for your height especially with those clip ons. Still comfortable for stop and go compared to like an r6?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

The RS660 with the clip ons brings the body position close to what an R6 is. I’ve rode both bikes and I couldn’t tell much of a difference. Although the RS660 is more comfortable than the R6 is.

[@user-fg6qd4se5q]

I love your bike! I am a big fan of the rs 660s but with all of the mods and tunes how fast can it get up to in mph.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Up to 120mph it rips. After that it is a bit sluggish.

[@vincentmamotos9937]

whats your recommendation for cheaper alternatives to spider rearsets?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

The Spider rearsets where the cheapest on the market when I got them on sale at around $750.

[@dhowting]

That belly cover is MINT!!! My favorite exhaust on ANY bike is the CRT!!!! But.....I hate how it makes the bottom of the RS660 look so empty! What a great little part! When you did the mirrors did the up map change the signal lights to the headlights or I'm assuming you have the euro spec which doesn't have the signals in the mirrors? We get them with signals in the mirrors over here in North America

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I live in LA so this is the US version that gets the turn signals in the mirrors and not the headlights. When I installed the Upmap, Gabros map brought the turn signals in the headlights. The CRT is an amazing sounding exhaust. I think it can make a poorly sounding bike sound like a beast. But I also hated that gap that it left, so this belly fairing transformed the looks of the bike. ✌️

[@toldenfr]

Hello, what is the point to change the clamp? thanks.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

The stock handlebars are a bit too tall, made for comfort. If you need to change the clip ons to a lower setup you must use an aftermarket triple clamp.

Did you remove the part that extends over the chain of the plastic piece on the left side of the swingarm?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Yes, thats something I forgot to mention. I used an angle grinder and I cut it off.

[@Tehepixwinner]

@@ALFAVITAGA Looks super clean! Makes me think I should grab an angle grinder to mine 🤔

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@Tehepixwinner If you still have the stock chain on, make sure you clean off all the stock lube that Aprilia uses, before you cut the chain guard off. That stock lube is like glue and without the chain guard it will go all over your bike and tire. You also need to make sure to use chain lube that doesn’t splatter much and don’t overlube the chain. It looks so much better without the chain guard but it takes a couple minutes of extra effort to ensure no lube will splatter on your tire.

[@untamedride]

Thanks for the great video. I’m going to be modifying my chain guard after seeing how much cleaner that makes the bike look. I also have the spider gas cap and the twist off part has turned from black to gold like your your triple clamp did. I was thinking it had more to do with wear but now I’m not sure.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@untamedride Thank you! I’m not sure that the gas cap lid turning gold is normal. Its painted with a clear coat and it shouldn’t be affected by the sun. It must be another reason that I’m almost positive is not normal.

What year is your RS660? I just bought a used 2022 a few days ago. Getting alot of inspiration for mods from you already

[@ALFAVITAGA]

2021. My personal favorite mod is the triple clamp with clip ons, as I prefer a lower proper racing position. ✌️

[@vincentmamotos9937]

@@ALFAVITAGA i was actually about the comment on your install video on that. So stock, the RS660 doesnt have the greatest turn radius, does lowering the position of the grips have any interference with any of the fairings? like will the controls hit anything? or does it not sit as low as alot of aggressive super sports?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@vincentmamotos9937 As long as you do the Bonamici clip ons that have a bit of a raise, it will clear the fairings. If you go with zero raise clip ons like the Spider clip ons that the Trofeo has, it will not clear the stock fairings. The Spider clip ons are meant for track fairings not street fairings. But the turn radius is not affected by the aftermarket clip ons. The turn radius of the RS660 is actually very good compared to other sports bikes.

[@vincentmamotos9937]

@@ALFAVITAGA good to know. Im slowly gonna build up to this build for sure. Ill hold off on alot of things obviously but protection will come 1st. Then exhaust and tune. Just got the bike and riding season is nearing its end so ill have some time to save for next season. Also good to know. I didnt know which aftermarket clip on the trofeo has. I just know that it sits lower. You should make a video series for "good budget alternatives" to your bike build.

Yes, on the RS660 you can remove all the stickers with no problem. All you need is a heat gun or a hairdryer to apply heat as you peel them off.

I have another question for you lol. I just got a 2023 Racing Black RS660 and currently it doesn’t seem to have a cowl. Is the Aprilia cowl you have a flat black or more the color of your RS660 with a little flake? Thanks again for your help.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

My cowl matches the color of the bike exactly. Its the Apex Black. Its more like charcoal black rather than flat black. I don’t remember what the 2023 black looks like in person, but currently the only black rear cowl on market is this Part Number CM325202. You can always install the rear cowl from the RSV4 that comes shiny black with a red line if that black matches better.

[@rambo5351]

@@ALFAVITAGA that’s what I was thinking. Thanks again for answering questions. You’re a top notch man.

[@jjohn56]

Dumb question, maybe. If you have full coverage insurance what spend all that money on protectors? If the tank etc gets damaged insurance will get you a new one, no?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Insurance is not as simple as that. There is a deductible that you must pay before they cover the damage, and it usually is not worth having a claim under your insurance as they will raise your premium. Between the premium monthly raise and the deductible it’s just not worth it to go through your insurance.

[@mahanghorbani523]

Pls make a video with new suspension installation. That would be great.

[@mahanghorbani523]

Also, a cover for the frame would make ur bike much more beatiful than it already is.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I will look into it ✌️ Definitely a frame cover would elevate the look!!

[@mohammedal-ahdal9683]

Have you thought of getting Öhlins suspension..?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Ohlins and other aftermarket suspension transforms the handling performance of the bike. But the truth is that not everyone “needs” an upgrade. The front stock suspension of the RS660 is pretty good to the point that most wont outperform it. The rear suspension is a bit of a discussion. If you weight below 190lbs with gear, then the spring rate will do just fine. The rebound oil is weak, that would give you about 6000 miles of use before it needs to be replaced. I never felt the “need” to replace the suspension until I started pushing my limits on the track. So yes, I have thought about replacing the suspension.

[@mohammedal-ahdal9683]

@@ALFAVITAGA thank you for the detailed reply. I have an Aprilia Extrema 2023 but I am feeling the front suspension is a bit soft especially when using the front brake suddenly or when on the corner and want to slow down, it scares the hell out of me. I talked to the dealer and ask them to adjust the suspension for me, I want it a bit harder. I am only 140 lbs so I did not feel an issue with the rear shock. I have seen the Aprilia user manual about how to adjust the suspension but did not know how to do that. I searched your videos but also you did not upload such a video. Even Dave Moss videos don’t show exactly what you need to do. So I would kindly request you to create such a video and show us how to do the adjustment exactly. I am following your channel from Germany and really like the content you share, no one else is sharing the same detailed instructions that you do…..thumps up to you👍👍

Thank you I appreciate that! I’m actually planning on doing a full “how to” setup the RS660 suspension. I had Dave Moss work on my bike and adjust it. I learn a lot from Dave. Stay tuned ✌️

By definition, most modifications are not really worth it financially and you lose more than 50% of the value of modifications if not more during resale. But we don’t mod our bikes because its worth it financially. We mod them because the process gives us satisfaction.

Damn I hate that you put the price of everything. 😂 I've done a lot of similar mods to my Tuono 660 Factory and it made me start tallying it up. Only significant difference is I haven't done rearsets, sliders, and some of the aesthetic choices, and I am replacing the steering stem (waiting on the stock RS 660 stem) and top triple (same woodcraft triple) so I can swap from a handlebar to clip-ons. Don't remind me of the money... Lol

@@JoshPhillips7781 Oh boy.. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on tools. Im a tool addict. The thing I appreciate the most in mechanics is speed and efficiency. For that reason, my number one favorite tool is my 1/2 inch impact wrench. I don’t use it often but when I need it, its a lifesaver. Not only because of speed, but because my worst fear is stripped bolts and I hate them. With my impact wrench, any stripped or ceased bolt comes out like butter. Of course my most used tool is my favorite stubby ratchet. But if I had a lift, that would be up there on my top list. My back and knees would thank me for it lol.

It all depends on needs. For me the must have mods are: Exhaust, Tune, Air Filter, Stacks, Sprocket-gearing, Triple/Clip ons, Tank Sliders, Heel Guard, Tail Tidy and Belly pan cover. I wouldn’t go without them. Suzukis are amazing bikes but I prefer exotic. So I went with an RSV4. ✌️
