I never expected this little bike to have SO MUCH RANGE to it's handling through adjustments. Amazing work, Dave!! You sent me home with priceless tools to pass on to everyone who buys ANY Aprilia from me. Looking forward to Laguna.

I realise its always a joy to watch a master in any field (whether pasta maker or suspension tuner).

Watching Dave adjust this bike for Victor was like watching a high-end suit Taylor custom make a suit for someone to fit them perfectly. All bike shops should have one or 2 employees who have studied under Dave to set their customers up correctly when they buy a bike.

Simply Awesome! I could watch these all day long. Even an older seasoned racing veteran who has spent over 1000 hours not only fine tuning the set up for myself but that of others, I’m still excited to expand my knowledge. Thank you both for this channel. It’s definitely my favourite one out there. I could even name a couple of ex World Champions (who I raced against before they reached the top) who also have watched some of these purely based on my feedback to them. Impressive! 👍😎🇦🇺

This is the BEST video I've seen showcasing the customizing of the ride and ergonomics of the 660!! Also love how you took us through the menus and modes. I think I'd set the individual to a "rainy day" setting, have dynamic and commute for easy riding then use the two race modes when I want to attack some nice twisty secondary highways with the challenge the less aggressive and have everything turned to the most aggressive settings in time attack giving 5 different maps

That is amazing! I mean the amount of relevant details .. and it also makes so much sense! I never wouldve thought in that direction at all..

I'm so glad I found your channel I literally am like a sponge that vid on making your bike comfortable I love it I never bought outrageous stuff but my hands have been killing me and you honestly educated me in properly adjusting the bike I cant wait to ride sat and changed everything and I'm ordering a new clutch lever I had that exact issue thank you so much

Buddy just picked one up yesterday so I'll get to give it a go probably by the end of the month. Looking forward to it.

It always amazes me how anyone could give Dave a thumbs down, the guy is a genius at setting up bikes.

Awesome! I was waiting for this one thank you. Great expertise here yet again

Dave! I just converted my new RS660 to track! loving it!

Absolutely Awesome Video, I am so glad I found this, 30 years of sore wrists solved with some Lever adjustments. Thank you so much 💖

Love aprilias! 660 was a masterstroke and recreated the middleweight sports class for sportsbikes. Why 660? Because modern middleweight engines struggle to make big power due to emmissions regs strangling outputs. 20 year old 600's were making 100bhp but woukd fail emmissions tests today. Trouble with tuning in the uk is that new laws aim to criminalise ANY non oem parts or alterations of fuel and gas flow parts on an engine. Aprilia seem to have matured and hit the spot on many if their first attempts. The Mille did it 20yrs ago, then the Tuono...the rsv4's are all superb and now the 660 with perfect balance and road manners with really useable power. Great tuning tips from mr Moss...getting set up right makes a huge difference.

Thanks Dave (and Victor) fascinating to see how much tuning can be done just on the controls/screen. I guess with someone who knows how to set-up and race a bike these settings are never set in stone depending on the track and weather.

Mega Moss !!! Εxcellent presentation as always, with comments at the heart of the "problem" aimed at in-depth learning and not just a superficial explanation for the show..... Why does this phenomenon occur, what factor affects it and why do we have to change the specific settings in order to get the best possible result from your suspension no matter if it the standard one or an after-market "project". Bravo Mr.Moss, congratulations on your guidance to all of Us! Greetings from beautiful and sunny Greece.

Ahh The pains of a new bike. Took awhile for the rear set and bunch of levers that finally fit right to me.

Watching this makes me feel better about getting the rs660 next spring.

Dave you are amazingly awesome......thank you for what you do and for helping all of us normal motorcycle people.....lol

Dave your videos have helped so much but now I have the knowledge to know how little the guys at the track days do around us.

excellent session !!

Unbelievable. Still waiting for delivery of my RS660, but'm signing up for remote tuning. Thanks, Dave. Brilliant.

Thanks for this video!

Instantly liked this one

Great Video! Was the Ride with buffler pro without ?

I don't know how this never gets boring ... I've got a Ninja 1000SX which feels a bit soft in the front (original settings form the dealer and I am average size), but I still don't know if I am right, if it's something I imagine, or if I should worry about it at all since I only use it on the road ...

Very valuable info thank you!

Never knew that watch a guy turn motorcycle's can be you fun and Addicting

I watched the full video. Loved it. Did I miss what Victor weighed? I thought he said 6'2". Looked like a respectable pace with stock components and slicks. Kicking myself for buying a 2019 636 to replace a SV650.

Nice video

Great Clip! Guys maybe you can help me out a little here. I'm in search for a new bike and now I'm torn between either a 2019/2020 ZX-6R or the RS660. It will be mostly road use for driving to work. Some canyon riding on the weekends and maybe a couple times on the racetrack. But doubt it will be more than 5 a year. I tend to the RS660 because of ergonomics and electronic package. But I like the screaming 4zyl. as well as the looks of the ZX-6R more and than there are the ~25hp difference. What would you guys say? I'm also open for other options but should be sports bikes. I've riden nakeds etc. and it's not for me. I would love to own a MV F3 675 and even could have a good deal in the price range of a ZX-6R but there are to many horror storys on them, which probably is the reason why there are great deals out there for them, so maybe better not.😅

Okay but is there any difference between time attack and just individual with the same settings like what’s the point of time attack unless your using the timer but idk isn’t the track already timing your laps

LOL at the dealership...we all kno he went home and adjusted that brakeline forsure.

I understand the concept here with your videos but every once you should release the full video in KZfaq. Always a preview don’t allow people to realize how much information there is to learn (BTW I did pay your subscription) before anybody comment something negative. However I’m a firm believer that Great channels always provides something back to the community .

So with respect to the lever position, it seems like you are making adjustments based on the rider's position while he is sitting up in a relaxed street position. When he drops his elbows, puts his stomach on the tank, and gets into a more aggressive position, it seems like those levers would be pretty much spot on from the factory. Most guys aren't riding upright with straight arms on the track. I noticed this on my own bike...after riding on the track, I realized that the levers were pretty much perfect from the factory, even though they felt like they needed to be rotated down while riding on the street.

he's like a bike physiotherapist

I watched whole video. And I don't even own a bike!

I fully expected the RS660 to dominate super twins racing this year as in standard trim the little Aprilia has vastly superior suspension to the SV and Z650 and is 30 to 35bhp more powerful, in fact you'd think the Japanese bikes would be hard pressed to equal the standard RS in power or handling after tuning and upgraded suspension, even the Paton although higher specs than the SV and Z650 still is only a tuned ER6 engine producing 80bhp albeit with much improved suspension, so everyone I know involved in racing has been amazed that the RS660 didn't win any of the NW200 or TT super twins races, although Lee Johnston did finish a distant second at the TT after Michael Dunlop retired with mechanical problems, IMO it's a mystery as the RS appears to have everything you could want in a super twin.

No fiddle farting indeed

Whats the Top Speed ?

That little a gots to go...
