Might want to check your manual. Pretty sure that you do NOT screw the dipstick back in for reading. You remove it, wipe it, put in in but only until it stops, then read.
On my tuono 1100, that is the correct way of measuring (only rest the dipstick on the thread, not screw it in). However, I know that on other aprilia models you need to screw the dipstick. I agree, double-checking the manual would be the correct way of proceeding.
@@CaliMotoTV The difference would be about the same as the upper and lower line on the dip stick. Top line , not screwed in got me 2.750 qts., yesterday.
For the sake of 2 more screws, the black plastic shroud could come off, giving easier access and visibility to the oil filter. I like to have the pans and tools ready, and drain the hot oil immediately on arrival.
Yes, Ville .... you are 100% correct ... warm oil has a lower viscosity so flows better. The proper way to drain the oil is get the engine hot, then shut it off and let it sit for about 15 / 20 minutes to allow all the oil to flow down through the engine and collect in the sump then drain it whilst it is still warm. Letting it go stone cold and trying to drain it when it's at it's thickest is just plain daft 😉
Great vid 👍🏻 Much prefer I sight glass to a dipstick though, I had the same on my 675R and hated it. Sight glass on my 899 is so much quicker and easier.
if you go "hand tight" on the oil filter... you might want to check that again after you run the engine hot... they can slowly loosen up... I prefer to get them a bit tighter than my "hand tight"... as those rubber seals age that "hand tight" can become a problem, just my $0.02 from seeing them come loose at Track Events!
FYI: From the shop manual (PDF). The drain plug should be 20nm, Page 44. 2700cc's of oil, Page 19. The owners manual says 2700cc's as well on Page 182 (PDF).

Great video, very informative. Definitely needed this and will apply it to my bike. Many others have done reviews but not enough detailed or maintenance reviews of the bike. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Rick, that is a digital torque adapter PTM206, about $60. I purchased a similar one AC Delco ARM602-4, about the same price. It works very well and the low range is lower than the PTM206. The only issue I have is that they advertise a low range of 4 ft lbs. My experience was that it is more like 17 ft lbs. If you have a standard click type, you can use one of these for calibration.
Hello eso mismo iba a comentar yo, todos hacemos oil change en casa súper fácil, pero que scanner recomiendan para borrar la luz de mantenimiento ? , nadie habla sobre esto es como que la dejan prendida 🤣, si conoces alguno que funcione para mi Aprilia rs660 2023 por favor dejarme saber, saludos
hey man great vid thank you so much, quick question, can you link me to what oil and filter did you use? im having trouble finding the right one, thanks man
It's nice to see that Aprilia included a magnetic drain bolt from the factory! (I'm presuming that's what the small tip on the drain plug is, anyway). I've done the same thing with all of my street and race bikes for the last 35 years... change early, and change often! The first 200-300 miles is when the engine is polishing up the reciprocating parts, so you'll find lots of small metallic debris in the oil... it's smart to get that out of the sump ASAP! Oil is cheap, motors aren't. 👍👍 --QM
Hello I'm from Taiwan Aprilia RS 660 TUONO is my dream motoclye so I very very like video。thank you so much。 I have a question，Aprilia RS RS660 have not Oil window??
@@ArmandoSanchez-ob3dd Bike geared way tall and lean for emissions. Grabbing a handful in 6th gear on the freeway will bog a bit if you're not too far over the speed limit. Hoping the 600 mile service and flash will help with that.
Just bought one of these. I cant find any service interval literature, but you're saying you did this at 200 miles? I'm on 180 miles already so should I be looking to be doing this too?
Did you really use 300v??? It’s recommended only as a race engine oil so doesn’t contain the detergents and stabilisers that the 7100 motul fully synth oil does. Fine I guess if it’s literally going to be changed every 1000 miles, but questionable for road use at lower temps. Personally I’d stick to motul 7100 and know that the oil stays stable for longer
@@CaliMotoTV oh no. That's a bummer. I thought I could shut it off since I'm planning to change my oil on my own after I watched your vids. The dealer's 2 hours away from where I am.
The service light may come on for a few seconds until the sensor registers the correct oil content, after that it should go off. There are codes you can look up online to reset the error.
Hello again mate im trying to follow some of your videos and im really into this rs 660 but i cant really decide, i wanted to ask you if you can help me with an answer :) i cant decide between rs660/f3 675/street triple rs or maybe yamaha mt09 what would you say if you had to choose between one of four
@@CaliMotoTV thanks man i used 2x 600rrs a gixxer 1000 and 1000rr in over 15 years. But supersports got real expensive here almost double of these options so i cant afford those.

Mt09 is what people suggest me due to holding value as you said and most reliable but i didnt really want those :) so im between agusta 675 and rs 660 now

Man so many errors there you made. So much oil left in the engine for draining it cold not warm at operating temperature. Also the 300v is not street usage oil.
@@CaliMotoTV theoretically you are right. We always use an engine flush to get as much as possible out, the oil gets very thin and also the engine flush cleans the inside of the engine
Just so all you Aprilia owners know, changing your own oil and doing any maintenance on the bike yourself as opposed to an Aprilia certified dealer, voids the warranty.

It's easier and bit quicker to drain the oil when the engine is warm.
Warm oil flows out easier and better.

@@edge929 Thank you...I'll download the new version.
Very useful video. Please remember that Motul V300 requires shorter change intervals than say 7100.
for road use what you recommend ? Bardhal XTS or XTC or the Castrol from Aprilia ?
@@flashRIGA Bardahl, always.
This is very important, it is a racing oil and doesn't have the additive packages to meet high mileage change intervals.
Great video, very informative. Definitely needed this and will apply it to my bike. Many others have done reviews but not enough detailed or maintenance reviews of the bike. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Isnt there like a service advisory warning when it reaches 1,000? How do you get rid of that without bringing to the dealer?
You don't. Gotta go to the dealer.
Don't the engines come from the factory with mineral oil to aid breakin? or am I living in the 80's
Whoa what's the torque measuring device? Never seen that before...I only know of torque wrenches. Is that an "adapter" for any wrench?

My brand new bike Tuono 660 burnt 2 quarts of oil in the first 600 miles. I should’ve got the XSR900.

👌
Are the fairings all plastic? And what is the API rating of the oil you used?
What size crush washer do you need? Can’t find info anywhere
How often do the valves need to be checked ?
great video - I love that torque tool - can you please link to it?
There's a video on the channel for garage tools. It's off of Amazon.
Does the bike have a maintenance light that you have to deactivate if so how to?
Dealer resets the maintenance light.
You need to check if you take the oil level from full screwed in dipstick or like some bikes not screwed in ?
👍
Definetly not screwed in as the manual says for this bike

that oil looked very black.. is that really normal or is it a italian thing
Break in oil. Can be a bit more dramatic looking than normal oil changes.
Draining the oil stone cold is not the way to do it 🤦♂️
Has to be level when you take the oil level right? Not on the stand ?
Level
With a new oil filter do you need 2.7LT?
