Sad to hear. Thanks for sharing. Bought my rs660 used, the pervious owner had already done the first service and one recall for shifting shaft and bearing. That's it. Hope it stays that way. Fingers crossed. Rode last year from Germany to Croatia and back. No problems.

[@RETMoto]

Sounds like everything is going good. Hope all stays well. Thank you for watching.

[@robi_e39]

hey man, do you still have the bike? I'm looking at these since they came out but the horror stories you hear keep me hesitant. I owned an RS 125 (2017 model) and I absolutely loved it and had no issues with it, but that's a whole different story in terms of engine and build quality. My problem is that even my friends who own one had multiple occasions with oil or fluid leakage and I cba to constantly bring it to the shop to fix it. Thanks in advance, greetings from a croat from switzerland :D

[@StintStier]

@@robi_e39 Yeah I still own it. 20.000km no problems

[@mikeglick3886]

I am sorry to hear about the problems you have had with your (bikes including the replacement bike). I bought the 660 2021 Tuono and have put 7,000 miles on it so far. I beat the stuffing out of it seriously! I have had no issues so far, "but" in So cal the summer temperature in my garage reaches 120f and it will leak gas but not much. Like a beer cap full over a few days. I had open the gas cap every day and it does make a vacuum sound when I do this. Other than that it is perfect. The only other problem I have had was once down shifting from 5th to 4th at like 100mph, trying to use engine braking around a corner. The transmission could not find 4th gear. Scary moment, I thought the chain broke, but no it was just an OSM and have not had that problem since.

[@johns1139]

These are great bikes but hearing stories like these makes me highly apprehensive in looking at Aprillia as a possible future purchase. Those Tuono 660's seem like great bikes.

[@rodrigovaccari7547]

Every single story seems to be on 2021 bikes. Its scary but have critical thinking.

[@colinthornton1378]

Tuono 660 2021. Problems so far: replaced rear brake disc and pads due to very loud squealing noise x 4. Engine management light comes on on a regular basis so it has to go back to the dealer each time for investigation. Battery discharges when the mood takes it , which is frequent. The result of this is the purchase of a battery pack to take along for the ride in case of starting problems. Apart from these issues the dealership has been great, the bike is like an Italian princess, every time you throw your leg over it it takes you to heaven and back despite all the tantrums in between.

[@mrmyme]

Dang ! You bought it new too?

[@zachhendrickson5687]

Dude. I’m on my THIRD engine on my Aprilia RS660. First ones left cylinder detonated and the oil pump exploded. I wasn’t part of the recall. Then on the new engine, at 1400 miles it exploded. I love the bike but reliability is a major issue. I am filing a lemon law suit now and am 100% going to win. 2 blown engines in about 7k miles. That is asinine. Causing me lots of transportation issues and is very frustrating

[@RETMoto]

Holy crap. I though my problems were bad. Hope it all goes well brother. Thanks for watching.

[@aka_pierre]

They're trying to make 100hp out of a two cyl 600 engine. Ducati makes that power out of a 950, Harley and Indian out of 1200s, Triumph out of a really peaky, low torque 750 triple, and Honda from a 1100. It's a really stressed engine.

I just took mine to my dealership two days ago for an oil leak-(seepage). This is my second engine. 2 weeks after I bought it, summer of 2021, I was told it was on the recall list. Since then I have not had any issues until now. It’s such a fun bike. I hope they can fix its problems. You’ve had so many problems, you have a strong lemon law case

[@TypicalMT]

Damn that’s tragic. Your patience is far superior than mine would of been. I got a ‘21 MT07 in June and as of March ‘22 I have 16k miles on it, 0 issues. Thankfully. My VW Passats motor blew shortly after I got my bike so the bike has been my only transportation while I’ve been lazily looking for a new car.

I'm sorry to read all these problems on the 660. I got mine around the same time you did and only had the ECU recall to deal with. Took it in also to get the 800 mile oil change and since then no issues at all. I don't live near my dealership so any issues I encounter will be a problem. Thanks for the video. I hope I don't run into the same problems and hope yours is issues free now.

as fortnine said Luigi(aprilia) and Mario(ducati) are here for a good time, not a long time. Good video!

[@carlosm9111]

We have this same bike - the only issue we had was some minor seepage that the dealer fixed and nothing more. Sucks that you had these issues, but honestly you got parts way faster than most people I know lol I give credit to Aprilia though for launching a brand new product during a pandemic and having it take off the way it did - the bike now basically owns MotoAmerica Twins Cup lol

[@RETMoto]

I agree, I’ve been lucky with parts and fast fixes. Thanks for watching bro. Take care.

[@carlosm9111]

[@navaks5335]

Damn now you made me nervous. I bought mine about a month ago, the dealership made a check before delivering the bike (i got it used). Tomorrow gotta take a good look at every single part to see if there’s anything. One thing I did first was checking if my bike was part of the recall campaign, luckily it wasn’t.

[@RETMoto]

Hoping it all goes well with your bike. Thanks for watching!

[@eduardomgarcia]

Thank you for sharing I am having a lot of problems with mine too and for instance they just don't know what is happening. Did you ask for an warranty extension ?

[@RETMoto]

So far since the gas tank issue the bike has been running great, I didn’t think about asking for an extended warranty. If something happens again I’ll definitely ask.

[@myaddictionclothing]

I just bought a 2023 RS 660 same color. Can I expect the same issues? I didn't buy it brand new, bought it with 2k miles on it. It doesn't seem to have issues so far, but I'm getting my license again. What should I look for?

[@wanderer7779]

I'm not riding much and am worried that something might happen when my warranty expires. I only did about 4000 km (2.5k miles) and as of late i noticed it's consuming a lot of oil.

Yamaha R7….

[@anthonyguglielmino971]

@John Don Hi John, so far I am loving the R7, so I’m no youngster and if I’m being really honest with myself I don’t have the skills to use a 1000cc rocket ship on the road to their full potential. The R7 is not the fastest bike in the world but it’s fast enough for me and I also feel I need to ride the bike to get the performance from it rather than just open the throttle, hang on and let the electronics sort it out!! Build quality no issues, everything just works and most importantly when I get off the bike at the end of the ride I’m smiling….

[@justin-sm8wt]

Fellow Dfw bro here. Just got the limited edition rs660.

i hope those problems are fixed up until 2024s models because im going for the same bike.

[@RETMoto]

You can definitely ride it comfortable for 3 hours or more. I’ve done 8 hours traveling on this bike.

[@cabreravaughn]

Damn, she is a shop queen. Good thing is you have a dealership that has your back. That would make things so much worse if you had to fight the dealership for these problems every time you went. The problems of brand new design engines and a foreign manufacturer. If you decide to keep it I hope they finally address the issues once and for all and all within your warranty period. Would suck to have so much more happen once the warranty is up. Good luck brotha!

[@RETMoto]

Yup, once the warranty is out I’ll make my decision on whether it stays or not

[@papasmurf159]

Thank you for your feedback, I was looking at buying one. Did the shop not offer a courtesy bike, or reimburse your transport costs and inconvenience ?

Run! I would probably get another bike. It’s not worth the headaches these people are having with this bike. Get a used street triple r or Yamaha mt07 as a first bike. You’ll end up dropping the bike at some point and dropping an Aprilia will make you sick. If you must go Italian then find a nice used Ducati monster 696.

I'm having the gas leakage as well. There's no leakage after riding but happens when the bike has been sitting for a day or two. Gas puddle is like 2 inches in diameter. Sometimes there will be no gas leaking for several days then all of a sudden a small puddle. I'm assuming I should take it in or at least call the dealership based on your experience?

[@RETMoto]

Yup! Take photos just in case your dealership has not experienced that issue. I remember the saying that the first person they had to replace took a while because they had to show proof. New tank came in within 3 days.

leaky charcoal filter?

I won't complain about my 471cc Honda Rebel 500, with 45k miles being boring anymore.

660 cc, 2 cylinder, 270 crank and more importantly 100 whp...those number is very strained to look at it a super vibration engine and hard vibration for engine is super no no

ANY dealer IMHO should IMMEDIATELY order and stock common parts like all the gaskets ....it is such BS when dealers dont want to stock anything....gaskets? Seriously? No excuse IMHO

Your video keeps jumping and skipping like you're quickly stopping and starting the video every few seconds during editing? I had to stop watching after a couple of minutes, because combined with you jumping to different camera angles a bunch of times, it was actually making me dizzy.

You took pictures.. 🤔 .. WHAT PICTURES?? .. your dealership is hopeless.. what have they diagnosed properly, quickly.. after your 1st problem.. you should have been on their "royalty" customer list.. but no.. dont blame the brand.. they ALL have new bike problems but they dont ALL have dealership customer service problems like this.. they should be picking it up & delivering ffs.. dont moan about the bike !?
