@@ARMADASS Thank you! The RS660 lives in my heart. I cannot abandon it. But I do need to complete the RSV4 project. ✌️

Thank you!

I’m glad my videos helped! My goal was to make them simple enough for everyone to be able to do it. Love Whistler BC by the way. Miss skiing there ✌️

I’m glad my video helped! That was the goal. 💪

I’m glad it helped! ✌️

I appreciate it!

Thanks man!

Thank you! ✌️

My pleasure! 🙂

Thanks!

It was a cool class. Im taking it again in May. Hit me up on Insta. Its on my front KZfaq page.

Thank you! The original exhaust is the best design. Unfortunately it doesn’t sound as good as an SC Project does.

@@ALFAVITAGA Es cierto, perdona te escriba en español pero me es mas fácil, quería preguntarte que piensas del aceite para usar en mi Aprilia, he ordenado Castrol 10w 50 en Amazon y su filter original, según el Manual recomiendan Castrol Oil , pero veo muchas personas usan Motul, que piensas de eso, ya me suscribí a tu Canal , no se si usas Instagram para seguirte también, muchas gracias por contestar ✌️

Both Motul and Castrol are great options. Motul runs a bit more expensive than Castrol. I’m an advocate of frequent oil changes. Usually never over 3000km. For that reason I choose Castrol that is recommended by Aprilia and works great, plus its cheaper. My instagram link is on my main KZfaq page.

Thank you! I appreciate that 👍

It looks about right. 👌

Yo this is exactly what I was looking for! Do you have any tips now that you’ve done the install? Should I do exhaust first then air box stuff? Also going to be putting on evotech radiator guard

I did it in this order: - removal of all necessary fairings - removal of exhaust - removal of headers - install of new headers - install of new exhaust - install all fairings - unscrew gas tank (I had a second person so I didn't need to remove the whole thing) - install stacks and air filter - ran and installed upmap (took about 30 minutes to run the process) Some pointers - installing the new headers would be much easier with a second set of hands. You also need a block or stand for when you remove the original exhaust. I spent more time installing the four header nuts than any other part since I was doing it solo. I ordered the new header nuts from A1 (as he suggested in the video) and I'm glad I did. Doing the install solo, and being that it was my first time working on a bike, took about 8 hours in total. Would have taken 5 with a second set of hands...those header bolts are hard to get to and hard to get on flush. Last pointer, don't over-twork the nuts, trust the tools to do their job.

Thanks for all the tips! I will make sure to have a friend there to help out! And thank you alfavitaga your videos are the best!

Thank you I appreciate that! The process is pretty much the same on the Tuono regardless of the exhaust brand. ✌️

You can definitely reinstall the heat shields and you can also paint them. Yes, removing these fairings is a tedious process so I would definitely choose to install frame sliders, exhaust and Rizoma mirrors at the same install.

@@muhammedyeksek128 I appreciate it! ✌️

The frame sliders are the only thing I didn’t install myself, as I had the dealer install them for me at the time of the bike delivery. But I do know that the engine does not need to be lifted for the sliders to be installed.

Lol free installs 😛

@@ALFAVITAGA im a technician so im that friend 😂

Hi Paul. Thats the first time I’m hearing this. I did not have to drill a hole to remove the screw that holds baffle. I don’t think there is an EU version of the SC Project. I think what you are referring to is the SC Project that retains the catalytic converter. If thats what you mean, thats not an EU version. Its just the non race SC Project exhaust. The one I’m installing on this video is a full system race exhaust with no catalytic converter.

​@@ALFAVITAGA Thanks for the quick answer bro. You are absolutely right. I meant the exhaust system with the catalytic converter so its matching the european emission standards. That's why I named it "the EU Version". Then I'd like to rephrase my question. How did you remove the baffle of the race exhaust system? Maybe with some luck I can ask our local dealer if he could sell me the full exhaust system with the catalytic converter but with the (race exhaust trim ?) So I can uninstall it, if hitting the race track and keep it in, when im on the streets ;)

@@elgoblino4379 Thank you for mentioning this as now I know that the CAT version has a muffler that the baffle is “locked”. SC Project won’t sell the CAT exhaust with the muffler from the race version. For that reason I find it hard for your dealer to be able to supply you with that combo. But doesn’t hurt to ask. Worst case scenario you buy a second SC1-R muffler from the race version. But that will cost you more.

Thanks for the sub! I’ll upload these days a an air filter installation video and I think I have some revs in that. I own the bike with the CRT and thats the only one I can make rev clips with, as the bike with the SC1-R used to be my buddy’s and he sold it.

The one I used on this video came with the exhaust. But the one I use is this: Permatex 77134 Nickel Anti-Seize... www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZZFBBWJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thank you! I would say wait at least 1500km before you install an exhaust. Just to be on the safe side. I changed it at 1500km and it was fine ✌️

Thank you man! For fender delete I chose the JL Designs. Its the one on the end of the video with the CRT. The bike with the SC1-R I don’t remember what brand his fender delete is.

So far zero issues with the carbon CRT canister. Its holding up like new.

CRT! Best sounding exhaust for the RS660 🔥 You will love it ✌️

I got them from af1racing.com. They are located in Texas.

Gabros map disables the O2 sensors but I keep them for two reasons. I don’t have plugs to plug the holes, and I need the O2 sensors for dyno readings.

Thank you. The frame sliders I’m using are by Evotech Performance. Best frame sliders for the RS660 and I have seen them on a different RS660 on a low side protecting the entire side of the bike with success. They are technically plug and play. You only need to remove the fairings to install them and no need for any type of drilling. Very clean install.

@@ALFAVITAGA thank you for your reply. Would these fit the Tuono 660? Subscribed form 🇬🇧

@@jasonjohannes8285 Evotech makes frame sliders specifically for the Tuono 660. The arm length is different as the Tuono doesn’t have the side fairings the RS660 has. If you own a Tuono, order specific to your model.

Correct. This is the “Trofeo” exhaust. And yes, you would need to tune the ECU. I know guys that went over 1000 miles without tuning the ECU with no issues. But for the long run it is best to tune it as these engines run very lean as they are.

I have the titanium and the titanium its not supposed to fit the pegs. But I made a video how to make the titanium fit the foot pegs. Here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/graAlNeZyrWuf3k.html Its easier to fit it if you get the CRT. But if you get the SC1-R you need to make a bracket. I explain this in the video.

@@ALFAVITAGA Thanks for answering bro, I've seen all your videos, that's why I have doubts, it's that I like to take my wife as a passenger hehehe

@@ianjoe9909 Of course! I took my wife for rides too with the CRT and she had no issues being loud. Normally I would suggest the SC1-R if the plan is to have a passenger, only to make it smoother for the passenger. But its up to you. Everything will work with a little modification or no modification. Either titanium or stainless steel.

No, you do not need the oem bolt. The SC Project comes with its own bolt and hanger.

I’m guessing you want to remove the heat shields to paint them? I can’t imagine another reason, unless it needs to be replaced. I don’t recommend removing the center bolt. The stock exhaust is very heavy and is only held by the center bolt. If you remove it all the weight will be transferred to the header studs and nuts. You don’t need to remove the exhaust to remove the heat shield. That would be a huge job for just a heat shield. All you need to do is wiggle the rear set a bit, to make space for the heat shield to be removed. To do that you will need to remove the swingarm axle nut on the left side of the bike and push the axle in, just enough before it passes through the swingarm. If it passes through the swingarm you are screwed. You will open a much bigger job. Once you push the axle in, you will need to remove the lower bolt of the right rearset. After that you just pull the right rearset out to give space for the heat shield. You can check out my rearset installation video for guidance. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNGRY8de2riofoU.htmlsi=oqCTKbzZ0dJDpn5H

In rode it for roughly 100 miles just to make sure everything runs fine and then I installed an Upmap with Gabro’s map.

Yes. I installed Gabros map using the Upmap T800+

Microfiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol. You need to wipe it down especially if its titanium, so it won’t leave marks when it heats up. And during installation the headers do get greasy from touching them.

Είναι περίπλοκη η απάντηση αλλά με λίγα λόγια ναι θα το συνιστούσα, αρκεί να μην είναι από τα πρώτα μοντέλα που κυκλοφόρησαν. Τα πρώτα μοντέλα έβγαλαν αρκετά προβλήματα και ανακλήσεις. Το δικό μου δεν είναι από τα πρώτα, κατασκευάστηκε Ιούνιο του 2021 και ως ώρας είμαι στα 3000Km χωρίς προβλήματα και χωρίς ανακλήσεις. Το μόνο πρόβλημα που μου έβγαλε στα 1000Km ήταν το διάκενο της μίας βαλβίδας εξαγωγής με αποτέλεσμα να μην μου κρατάει ρελαντί. Ρύθμισα τα διάκενα και κανένα πρόβλημα ως ώρας. Γενικά τα Aprilia είναι γνωστά για τα διάκενα βαλβίδων. Δες RSV4 για παράδειγμα. Αλλά γενικά σαν μηχανάκι είναι απίστευτα διασκεδαστικό.

@@ALFAVITAGA καινούριο θα το αγοράσω οπότε θα είναι ή του 22 , ή του 23 αναλόγως το πότε θα γίνει η αγορά . Ευελπιστώ η Aprilia να έχει κάνει μια προσπάθεια να διορθώσει ότι θεματάκια είχε . Ευχαριστώ για την απάντηση , κάνω sub και περιμένω κι'αλλα βιντεάκια με το εργαλείο ! Ride safe 👊🏼✊🏼💨

@@BONTHEBLOCKΕυχαριστω για το sub. Έρχονται κι’άλλα βιντεάκια. Με 2022 και μετά θα είσαι ασφαλής. 💪

I installed an Upmap T800 with Gabro’s map.

It doesn’t adjust itself. You need an UpMap, race ECU or power comander. I went with Upmap Gabros map. I think its the best choice.

@@ALFAVITAGA Thank you. I didn't see a power commander for rs660

It helps so the pipes wont cease with each other under heat. It makes it much easier to remove in the future.

Sweet, thank you!

Short answer yes and no. It technically voids warranty, but its more complicated. First of all in the USA we have the Magnuson-Moss Act. Which means Aprilia would have to prove that the problem on your bike was caused by the exhaust, in order for them to void your warranty. But the actual exhaust is not really the problem. Its the mapping that void the warranty. But if you have a warranty claim, the only way for Aprilia to know you have a map tune, is if they request a mapping history. But they almost never request that.

✌️

This exhaust installation is fairly easy compared to other bikes. Its the multiple fairing bolts and the tight radiator space that makes it tedious.

It was 11:30pm in a 7 feet tall garage. No need to wake up the neighbors.

He’s not. It was 11 at night and that exhaust shook the entire building.

Thanks for watching! But we couldn’t go over 4k for multiple reasons. It was 11:30pm on a 7 feet tall garage. Neighbors were sleeping and chips of drywall were falling off the ceiling. These exhaust are LOUD and the video doesn’t really represent the loudness. Not to mention that the exhaust was just installed. You gotta test everything works properly and air/fuel ratio is correct with mapping before you rip it. I have other videos on my channel with flybys, on board and standstill revs.
