@13:40, i believe the one hose that has the oetiker clamp on it is some kind of vacuum hose. I kind of had the same thought initially, but the hose that has the spring clamp is just a vent.

changed mine last night. This vid helped. wow what a difference.

[@lazy-pilot]

Yeah, very pleased with the spring rate I chose. Did you also install the Eibach spring?

[@Rob-tl9md]

@@lazy-pilot yes the heaviest one. I am 6 3 300.

Awesome bike and choices for upgrades. Enjoy the videos. Keep it up. David from Md.

[@lazy-pilot]

Thanks for the feedback! I have one more upgrade (a GPR steering damper) to accomplish before the riding season starts then it’s time to slap a lot of miles on it!

Muchas gracias por el vídeo, un gran trabajo, está realizado con mucho detalle y eso gusta mucho. Esperamos siguientes trabajos en la moto, ahora has puesto el nivel de presentación muy alto, un saludo.

[@lazy-pilot]

Gracias por tus comentarios. Espero ayudar a la comunidad Aprilia Tuareg con un archivo de videos que puede seguir siendo útil durante varios años. Atentamente.

THANK YOU for this! Looking to get this done in the next month or so- I am the same height/weight as you- I’m curious what your suspension settings were on the bike with the stock set up?

thanks for the vid

[@awesomerene6814]

Question, does your bike have trouble going into neutral? Mine does. I wonder if the transmission has tighter tolerance or there’s something wrong (same bike ) btw

[@lazy-pilot]

Do you have the quick-shifter installed? Mine was very easy to find neutral until adding the quick-shifter, now it’s basically average compared to many other cycles I’ve owned.

Hi, is it option to change Eibach Spring from down without deinstall panels, seat etc.?

[@lazy-pilot]

If you look in the video description, I’ve included a link for an alternative method for removal and installation of the rear shock. It’s not the recommended procedure per Aprilia but it looks very simple IF you have a motorcycle lift to clamp down the front wheel and another motorcycle jack to lift and support the motorcycle under the skid plate. It may also be possible to do with one scissor lift under the bike’s skid plate, if it were stable enough. I recommend a scissor lift in this video that would be appropriate.

Your left or the main part. Exchanging the spring. That's where our interest is.

[@lazy-pilot]

Sorry, man. My spring compressor was an imperfect fit so I wasn’t willing to fool around with recording that part. I value all my fingers. I also don’t want to encourage someone to use the same spring compressor. As I said in the video, most people, even myself really would be better off having an off-road shop swap out the spring for less than half of the money to purchase a spring compressor.

[@lazy-pilot]

Here is a very similar rear shock from a KLR and excellent instructions for removing and replacing the spring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raXLmXprrrdpsJY

[@Rob-tl9md]

That's a slippery slope.

[@aegetswil1]

I noticed that you have a different exhaust pipe on your bike. Why that?

[@lazy-pilot]

It is the full exhaust system from Arrow Exhausts. No catalytic converter to reduce high heat issues, increase airflow and performance. Exhaust runs significantly cooler than the factory exhaust.

[@thedeathguy2]

was your spring almost 2cm shoter then the stock? im in the process of replacing mine and notice the spring i had was 2 cm shorter and no collar to accomodate for the shortness

[@lazy-pilot]

@@thedeathguy2 No. I don’t remember any difference in height. The inner diameter of the spring was about 1mm wider than the stock spring, but that’s the only difference. I would check the numbers on on the spring and contact someone at AF1 (or whoever you bought it from) for help. Maybe they can put you in touch with Eibach.

[@thedeathguy2]

@@lazy-pilot turns out they sent me the wrong spring, it was 20mm shorter then stock

[@lazy-pilot]

@thedeathguy2 I hope they replace it quickly, it’s sad you have to keep your Tuareg in pieces for longer.

[@thedeathguy2]

@@lazy-pilot oh I let them know today and they are over nighting me a the correct spring of no charge! AF1 has always done me well!

can you send me a link where I can get the whole manual for the Tuareg 660.
