Research on the Aprilia RS660
I am planning on getting a new RS660 but I got some info that the bike is a pain to do work on and it’s going to get really expensive compared to its counterparts. Is this true or is it bs?

Hey everyone, just wanted to ask you guys what you think about my rs660. I know the wheels dont match with the green, but i am working on it.
If you want some infos or links about parts that i added, just ask, i will try my best to find the parts again😂
Hey guys, I’m reinstalling the fairings on my 2021 Aprilia RS660 after running some wiring for a dash cam/CarPlay unit.
When I removed the large left-side/upper fairing panel, this small black rubber strip fell onto the floor near the front wheel. I’m pretty sure it came from somewhere around the front/upper fairing or underneath the headlight, but I cannot figure out exactly where it belongs.
It’s a small, slightly curved rubber piece and doesn’t appear to have any adhesive on it. I’ve attached pictures of the rubber piece, the inside of the fairing, and the bike with the fairing removed.
Does anyone recognize this piece or know exactly where it sits? Is it just an anti-vibration/anti-rattle pad between the fairing and another component?
I’m going to reinstall the fairing without it for now and keep the piece, but I’d like to put it back in the correct location once I figure out where it belongs.
Thanks!
Ciao guys!! I’m currently looking at some used exhausts on Subito ( Italian website that we can compare to eBay), and I’m wondering what people’s experience is with buying exhausts second-hand.
There seem to be some really good deals, or at least they look like good deals to me... 😅
For example, I’ve found an Akrapovic Racing exhaust with only 4 months of use for around €500, which seems pretty good compared to the price of a new one...
Obviously, I know there could be some stuff going on that you can’t really see from the pictures. Some listings actually say the exhaust has been slightly damaged from a fall, while others do not claim anything
What do you guys think?
I’d love to hear some real-world experiences before I pull the trigger. Thanks!
Ciao a tutti, a 2922km ho misurato il livello dell'olio della mia RS660 2026 E5plus, ho seguito la procedura da manuale, quindi 15 minuti di utilizzo circa 10km e dopo pochi secondi dallo spegnimenti procedo con la misurazione tramite l'asta su superficie piana... tuttavia mi segna il minimo a soli 1922 km dal tagliando dei 1000km. L'officina ufficiale dove sostiene si debba aspettare 10 minuti dallo spegnimento e poi misurare... Così sembra che c'è n'è di più, cosa mi suggerite di fare?
Has anyone experienced a similar noise coming from the rear suspension? Just noticed it a couple weeks ago, not sure where it’s coming from. I assume it’s a lubrication issue?
¡Hola! Estoy buscando un sticker de “aprilia” para ponerlo en el plastico que aparece en la foto es la parte de la cola de una Aprilia RS 660.
¿Alguien sabe dónde puedo comprar uno? Estoy buscando específicamente uno con el mismo estilo y la misma forma que el original.
Hi,
I’ve got a showroom-stock ‘26 RS660 US base model…non-Factory. Street-only. I’m new to the RS Aprilias, but not sportbikes. I‘ve noticed that the OEM Pirelli Rosso IVs work well, and as I get used to the bike, I‘m likely to occasionally use the outer edge of the tire.….it turns more like an R6 than a SV650.
My question is, does this bike have any stock components that tend to drag during hard cornering with little or no hang-off? Like, is the limiting factor for lean angle on this bike the tires, or something else?
I have a 2022 Limited Edition RS660 with 11,000km (7000 miles)
I don't ride on the track although I do hard street riding.
Is it a must to check the oil pressure relief valve and use loctite on it and safety wire it?
I asked my local mechanic and he told me it's a job he won't take on.
I could probably do this all myself but it would take me some time..
