BIKE BUILD APRILIA RS660 ! LINKS TO MAKE YOUR BIKE SICK! Tires: www.ctracetire... Spider top triple clamp: www.af1racing.... Spider clip on: www.af1racing....
Looking forward to the next few rs660 video’s I was having trouble deciding which parts to go with for mine this came out perfect timing if you could possibly do a build series showing the installation process that would be great as there isn’t a whole bunch out there
I've watched this video probably 10 times and I just noticed.... I've got the same rear stand. Ha! Looking forward to the next video. P.S. my son is already talking about coming and seeing you again in Alabama next year. Keep up the good work my friend
Thanks for making this video, Kaleb! There are a lot of solid aftermarket products now for the 660 (not that it's been 1.5 years since release), but one of the weakest areas appears to be bodywork. Based upon feedback in the forums, most of the options are mediocre quality. I am leaning towards Armour Bodies, which apparently requires woodcraft triple/clipons? Anyhow, looking forward to your future content. So happy for you that you got your own 660! (P.S. Do the COTA trackday with 316! There are still spots.)
I will be at the Cota trackday instructing! I just bought hotbodies bodywork because it’s cheap and easy to get but they all seem to be not great quality
Good to get your thoughts on what to upgrade you must know these bikes inside and out. Am I right in thinking the Stars and Stripes edition is for you winning the twins cup?
@@KD51LifeofaRacer that’s cool you should copy the livery on the race bodywork if that’s possible. Good luck with the racing been watching the vlogs since you were on the Yamaha 👍🏻
@@stuartleonard1775 Painted the bodywork yesterday and today it will be an exact replica of my race bike in Italy which was bike 1 of the Stars and Stripes ! Except for it will have the Number 1!
Never got around to it life’s been crazy racing and testing. Honestly the Rs660 stock is really fun on the track! I just think the Clíp ons help a lot and Pirelli SC3 trackday tires are awesome you get great grip and consistent wear that lasts a decently long time!
It’s nice to have a MotoAmerica racer reaffirm my preferences on the RS660 setup. Couldn’t have more solid info and feedback coming from your experience. ✌️
I'm about to order this as my first bike, for a 80% track purpose ride. Great video! Gotta go with the Stars and Stripes! No too interested in street riding, really just want to get into track riding as a hobby and the RS660 seems to be a great start. Do you ride on the street Kaleb? And if I'm going to go with a track specialized bike do you think this or maybe a sumo is a better option?
Thanks Kaleb. Good luck this season. Setting up new RS660 for third season of club racing. Quickshifter/Auto blipper recommendations? Are guys really having to clutch two downshifts?
subbed man, I love the moto america series! I want an rs 660 so bad for next riding season, whats your height and weight? I'm 5'6" and 148 with 30" inseam, wondering if the bike was too tall.
Hey Kaleb, thanks for the video! 👍 Why didn't you buy the rs660 trofeo? I did not because it is too loud for Sachsenring, which is my favorite track...
@@KD51LifeofaRacer you can.. but only direct with the factory.. no middle men dealers for obvious reasons.. trofeo are tuned for track too.. as a nat camp you'd be seen as a short listed high priority buyers too.. P.S. you need to get a remote mic for your video work.. sound quality is not good.. if i hadnt been a close follower of your racing I'd have probably passed your post.. its your fault im now a 660 fan.. on Aprilia's list for an RS.. from my gsxr1k track bike, thanks mate keep racing hard.. from NZ.. 👌
I am so so so happy I found this video going to watch the rest now
Thank you 🙌🏼
PERFECT BIKE FOR YOU KALEB!!! XSeeing as how it wouldnt exist if it werent for you riding your races as hard as you have!!!
Great video, Kaleb. I appreciate your unique perspective on bike setup. Please continue the series.

I am planning on doing a bunch of videos with this bike! Stay tuned! Coming very soon!

P.S. my son is already talking about coming and seeing you again in Alabama next year. Keep up the good work my friend
Right on! See you at Barber in a few weeks! I’m on a new team now and new class!
@KD51 Life of a Racer I know. I couldn't buy a BMW though.... so I bought a Ducati instead. Don't worry though we're still gonna cheer for Orange Cat

Looking forward to seeing the bodywork video
American garages are next level compared to our British ones 🙈
Loving the race fuel in the back ground
Hahahaha

Yes sir the livery is celebrating the championship last season!

Did you ever make those follow up videos? Specifically, the one giving us advice on he settings for trackday?

great video but you talked about the handle bars so much but didn't show a clear camera shot of them
They have like a 2 inch rise up on the stock ones and are connected to the top triple clamp

The 660 you have to use the clutch the auto blipper doesn’t work properly for racing
Nice MR 12 stack. I miss that smell.
keep it going support =]

I’m 5’ 8” and 155 I don’t feel to small on the bike at all
@@KD51LifeofaRacer cool man thank you
are the SUPERCORSA tires good for street riding as well?
Yes they are! www.Ctracetires.com !
Hey Kaleb, thanks for the video! 👍 Why didn't you buy the rs660 trofeo? I did not because it is too loud for Sachsenring, which is my favorite track...
I don’t think you can buy the Trofeo in america but this bike will be a complete Trofeo Spec bike!

How about your final ratio?
Is 16t/45t good?or what's you recommendations?
Stock gearing is perfectly fine for most tracks
