Aprilia RS 660 's full breakdown of dashboard, menus and controls
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- I have noticed since I own this bike that there's a lot of people who want a full analysis of the display, menus and options available in the Aprilia RS 660 so after having it for a few months already I thought that I could help with that.
Hope you enjoy and find it useful and please do not doubt about adding anything I might have missed on a comment or simply correct me on something.

Brilliant video thanks , fyi if you didn't know, if you hold left indicator for 5 seconds it'll turn hazard lights on and you can then take the key out .again thank you.
Hello Alan! Thanks for your words and tip. I did hear about this before in the Facebook Aprilia RS 660 and Tuono 660 Owners group but when I try my bike does not do it, so I'm a bit confused. That's why I didn't mention it. Will try to investigate!
PD. Okay, I kept trying to do it to the right because in my mind it made more sense. Does work if you do it to the left haha
My 2022 rs660 does not do this
2 years and still the best guide breakdown on youtube so far, thanks!
Just got mine 2024, this video helped more than the manual ever could, thank you
Great detailed video! Appreciate you taking the time to do this. Can’t wait for the MIA one. Also subbed to the channel 🤙
THANKS for taking the time to create this video! It was very helpful.
Amazing! Thank you for taking time to record all of this. Very useful! I am picking my RS660 next week, I will be watching this all over the weekend! :-)
I really enjoyed your sincerity ,information and some unintended humor . Thank You
Great video ! Thank you so much, just got mine RS660 delivered yesterday can’t wait to go on the road☺️
A very comprehensive guide to all of the functions of the display, thanks very much!
Now that's what I call an informative video. I'm considering buying Aprilia myself, so this sort of info is very helpful. Thank you!
DUDE! I love your comments and posts in the Facebook rs660 owners group! I am so happy I found your RUclips! Your knowledge and passion is always appreciated my friend!
Hey Tyler i'm really glad to hear those words. Sadly not uploading as much, bike being under the process of having the engine replaced and after getting it back in winter where I couldn't really ride that much.
I'm hoping to be back though, even if it has to be on the scooter I currently ride U.U
Brilliant, thank you. I've just got the bike & this was much easier than trying to figure it all out from reading the manual.
Excellent video Alvaro!
Increíble, muy bien explicado y tu inglés es prácticamente perfecto!
pd: en unas semanas me llega mi rs660 y desde luego este video es súper informativo! Graacias
Been a great help watching this
thanks for making this video
Wow thxs so much bro keep it up with info, I'm dreaming of this bike LOL
Gracias Alvaro. Mine is coming in this week,so this is very helpful.
It's a pleasure for me to help especially if it's talking about things I love! Hope you have a lot of fun with it, it makes every day shinny for me :)
@@HormigaZ I'll be waiting for the MIA video, I also chose that option.
@@musicjnky1982 My original plan, before filming this, was to do both the same day... but I really took way longer than I expected commeting on every aspect of the bike. I'm curious to know if you found my comments excessive or you appreciate the detail I went into? Watching again, I feel like I could have said even more.
@@HormigaZ I think it's better than reading the manual. I'm a visual learner, so seeing and you explaining made it easier for me.
Yeah buy the way , veeery good educational video! Thanks a lot.
Thanks man! This video was really helpful!!! You’re better than the manual haha :))
gracias Alvaro, me olvide como aprendar el cruise control. muchisimas gracias compa!
Reallygrest video. Thx! Quick tip. If bike is on a paddock stand and the side stand isn't down, you can’t access the main menus -
Thank you so so much
One thing I forgot to say in the video:
The fuel gauge goes into reserve while there's 5L / 1,1 galons left. The bike is thirsty and it does it for a good reason, watch out because I've had already reports of people who kind of ignored it and run out of gas ^^
La reserva son 5 litros?? Pero si cuando reposto entran 10 litros y tiene 6 rayas, como va a ser la reserva 5 litros que es la ultima raya?
@@sergiohr88 la lógica que tiene habría que preguntársela a ellos. Pero es así, comprobado en mi moto y muchas otras. El depósito son 15 litros.
At around 55 minutes you talk about the cruise control, which is one of my favorite features of this bike. I bet some people don't know that you can cancel the cruise control by twisting the throttle grip forward (opposite the normal way).
Thank you so much. I got one last week. Same color. Got compliments from everyone.
Again, great video!! My only question is: how the do you set up the code? Do you set up after you insert the second key and it somehow magically accepts?
Its normal for engine temp doesn’t register until 50 degress. My car is the same. Its okay to ride it but not hard until it warms up.
Hola que tal.
Muy buen video.
Una duda como se pueden encender los warning los 4 intermitentes de toda la vida. Muchas gracias un saludo
Awesome video Alvaro! I was able to immediately go through my dashboard without reading the manual. I'm still stumped on the bluetooth though. I can't get into the menu at all.
I’m stumped on the Bluetooth too, I have a 22 model. Let me know if you ever got it figured out. Thanks
@@mrbrayden111did you guys install the Aprilia MIA device ? Its behind the right side plastic cover just under the seat. Costs around 180€ at your Aprilia dealer and if your bike isn’t pre wired you can add 9€ for the wire
Great video!
Does MIA system comes as default or do you have to buy the Bluetooth adapter separately ?
thank you very much!
No, MIA is optional. Totally forgot to say that in the video sadly. Price is around 150€ after taxes over here. And I find it to be almost essential.
@@HormigaZ Why do you feel it's essential?
@@TTrAAsTT Because for the added price you get GPS per turn indications, telemetry for your rides, can track where you parked your bike in case you're somewhere unknown, you can control music/voice with a passenger/calls from your phone, reminders of the services that allow you to book before hand...
And I'm maybe forgetting something out the back of my head. It's just good value.
At the moment I'm riding a lent RS660 which lacks it and I miss it.
If the price is still the same I stand by what I said, if it's increased then I don't know. I'm aware some stuff on the optional accesories got more expensive, such as the pass. seat cover.
Si está un intermitente puesto porque estas girando al terminar el giro o salir de la rotonda,se apaga solo?o hay que apagarlo manualmente
Un saludo
Can Someone help? Does the auto quick shifter works only in race mode vehicle setting ?
Hola HormigaZ, tienes esta versión en Español?, gracias
Grande hormiga! hahaha
Como haces para volver del mapa de time atack al mapa normal? Justo cortaste el video ahí y es lo que necesito saber desde hace 2 semanas 😂
How do you set up the track length. It looked like talked about the feature. Thanks for all the info
Flash the high beam while on the race mode when you first go through the line, then again when you complete the lap.
It's not as accurate as a dedicated tracker, it uses length of the track.
@@HormigaZ Thanks!
At 8:40 you discuss AEB (Engine Brake) setting. You say it's "self explanatory," but I am quite sure it is not at all what most people assume it to be. You say you don't notice a difference in engine braking when you change the setting, and I agree that I can not notice any difference, and that is because in most circumstances there actually is NOT any difference in the level of engine braking. The AEB system only reduces engine braking in the event that it thinks engine braking is causing a slide. Just the same as ABS reduces braking force when the normal brakes would cause a slide. Per user manual, AEB level 1 is "lowest degree of supervision and control by the system" and level 3 is "highest degree of supervision and control by the system." Certainly not a good explanation from the user manual, but based on that, in a situation where engine braking is causing a slide, level 1 is less likely to intervene to reduce engine braking, and level 3 is more likely to intervene to reduce engine braking. Or in other words, only in the event of a slide, level 1 will retain more engine braking, level 3 will reduce engine braking.
I have personally noticed this AEB feature intervene only once so far (about 3 or 4k miles), and it was during a track day, AEB set on level 2, braking very hard at the end of a straight approaching a sharp turn, front brake only, downshifting to keep the rpms high, rear tire barely skimming the ground, felt the engine sound and vibration change a bit and sustained the whole way through the braking zone. It was clearly doing something to reduce engine braking. It did not cause me any issue but I also doubt that it was helpful.
Great video, thanks. How can I set the laptimer please? I mean the distance of 1 lap as you mentioned, so then it starts counting.
Hi Bernad! Do a flying lap while having the race mode on with the timer, as you cross the line, use thr trigger for the high beam (the one just by the clutch) and again when you finish cross the line again for the second time. Some people say, theirs will require of flashing the lights everytime. Try to use it while paired to mía, I believe that's the key. I always use it like that since I want the telemetry.
@@HormigaZ Thanks!
How do you enter your personal code on the menu?
So, when your passenger falls off, the right helmet will turn grey and then you know that you lost him or her :)
Hahahahaha I always love your sense of humor Benal :D But yeah, it could work for that too :P
top video !
Light of traction control??
Hi HormigaZ, greetings from Colombia, I wanted to ask you something that I didn’t see on the video, the manual talks about the possibility of see the tire pressure on the dashboard, is it possible? O this is a feature of another version and it is just an error on the manual. It is also weir because the configuration let’s you change the unit of measurement for the pressure.
It's something that was not released in the bike but they had projected. Maybe in the future they sell the missing hardware as optional extras.
@@HormigaZ awsome, thank you for your answer, and for your amazing videos.
Hay algún enlace en español?
Que buen video, yo acabo de comprar 2 rs660 una roja y azul y la amarilla. ambas 2022, las tengo en colombia, estoy haciendole el asentamiento del motor, de ves en cuando las aprieto al maximo
Estaría bien el mismo video pero en castellano
Saludos
Lo tendré en cuenta! Un saludo y gracias
Hello,
Just bought tuono 660 last week and after the first ride around 50 km got CEL / Check Engine Light in other words MI warning light on the left side on the dashboard , is it normal for aprillia or smth serious? I heard that sometimes the error goes away on its own, but still what kind of nonsense is this, Is this what I think based on the recall of motors? it is not very convenient to strain dealers every time, but it will be necessary if the error does not go away. Have you experienced this?
Get it checked by the dealer. It can not be very serious or it would show another message. It can also be nothing important, but either way get it to be checked.
Aprilia pays for it. No strain on the dealer.
I'm curious about the self canceling indicators. In the manual it states that they use a timer 40 sec and if you move the bike it resets. It does not say anything about canceling them if you start accelerating (done with the turn) is that true? Do you really need to wait 40 sec for them to cancel?
Well it's one of those things that I wanted to leave for a proper review of the bike because yeah as I mentioned in the vid here, I'm not really aware of how they work and I'm going to need to test it. I have this compulsive habit of canceling them every few minutes anyway just in case I forgot to do it when it was needed, so it's not something I rely on a lot. Will investigate and reply back!
According to my manual the self canceling function works as follows:
"If the bike is stationary , the indicators will not turn off.
If the bike is moving, the indicators will turn off if one of the following requirements is met:
1. After a time t=40s.
2. After a driven distance of 500m (0.31miles).
If the bike stops moving during that time (or distance), i.e. the speed value equals 0kph (mph), the timer will reset to zero. As soon as the bike starts moving again, the timer starts again from 0 (true for time and distance)
If you change the turn signal (i.e. changing it from left to right or from right to left) without turning the indicator off in between, the timer (for time and distance) resets again and starts from zero."
Your acceleration doesn't influence this at all, which makes sense. For example: You try and merge onto a highway (or autobahn for Germans), and indicate to change lanes. Then you accelerate up to the speed of traffic before you change lanes. Would be stupid if the indicators got turned off then.
Extra info: If you're already indicating to turn right and activate the switch again to indicate a right turn, the timer will not reset. Which is pretty annoying if you're used to not turning your indicator off if you need to make more than turn in the same direction (happens for me especially when I exit the highway or autobahn, and then need to turn right again after 150m or so). I just got used to turning my indicator off, then immediately reactivating it. It's annoying, but better than not indicating or constantly looking down to see when the indicators are off so you can restart them.
I have translated the manual from German, so the exact wording might be different. Hope I could help, even if 10 months late.
@Nexar X7 I've already tested it on my bike it dose not work well, its like you dont even have canceling turn signals. The 500m safety cancel is too much. The bmw s1000r that I have demoed at the end of the year had this feature implemented perfectly. I also have the latest sofware on my rs 660, so if you buy the bike treate it like it has no self canceling signals.
@@DarkInovator I don't really like the feature either. Like I said, when I exit the autobahn and indicate 300m before the exit lane (like you are supposed to in Germany) my indicators turn off halfway on the exit lane, even though I need to make another right turn for which I usually just leave my indicator on. I never really had a problem with forgetting to turn my indicators off either, it only ever happened twice, right when I started riding, so I'd be much happier if the bike didn't have that feature. I think it's generally a useful tool, but they should let me turn it off. I can turn the auto blipper off, so why not the self canceling turn signals?
i saw it doesn't have a dedicated hazard switch and what is the maximum speed that you can set for cruise control?
Yes hazards are turned on by holding the left on the turn signal for some seconds, but I have no idea what's the max speed you can set on the cruise control I have never tried using it past 100km/h or so for speed traps
@@HormigaZ Thanx bro
TLDR: Cruise Control Max Speed 180kph
I know I'm pretty late, but I just recently bought my RS660 and then had to do break in first, so no going past 7000 rpm and no testing stuff at high speed. Anyway, thanks to the german autobahn, I can tell you that cruise control works up to 180kph in 6th gear. At speeds higher than that you simply cannot activate it, and you can't go over 180kph by using the "increase speed" function of the cruise control switch. I haven't tried out the top speeds for other gears, since I still need to keep it under 9000rpm for another 1000km (now only 600km). For the same reason I wasn't able to get a proper top speed test in yet, but that's definitely going to happen one day. Let me know if you're interested in the results.
Edit: Cruise Control Speed Range:
1st gear: -
2nd gear: -
3rd gear: 35kph-100kph
4th gear: 50kph-110kph
5th gear: 60kph-140kph
6th gear: 70kph-180kph
Current Top Speed of the bike: 247kph on the speedometer
242kph GPS speed (measured with MIA)
*Edit 2: Top speeds are outdated. New top speeds are:
251kph on the speedometer
247kph GPS speed (measured with MIA)*
Bike is stock, with no power mods or gearing changes. Had to slow down for traffic; if the bike isn't Software-limited I think 250-255 on speedometer should be achievable, maybe even 260+ on a lucky day.
Edit: The hazard lights are not working on my bike. When I asked my dealer about it and mentioned the use of the left turn signal switch to activate hazards, they told me they never heard of that before. I only ever heard of hazards turning on by holding the turn signal switch to left with models in other countries (mostly USA and Canada). I suspect they only included that feature in the North American models, possibly for legal reasons (my dealership told me they are not legally required in Germany), but I didn't do enough research to be sure. I find it pretty weird anyway why they'd have a feature and not include it in every model, since it's not any added cost to them to make the necessary software updates for Euromodels.
Does it have built in steering damper?
No it does not. But I don't think it needs it. Most sports bikes don't have it. If having one for you is very important, you can install one aftermarket no issues.
Bro how do u get to go from race mode to road.... thats the only thing that won't change.
H, I too have the same problem, as I received bike in race mode< any help would be great.
haz un video en español tmbn porfa
Hello, do you like the dashboard?
Yes. My only complain is I would like it bigger, like in the new RSV4
@@HormigaZ I'm the dashboard software developer. Sorry but RSV4 is a different architecture
@@jampicr really? I'm very honored to have you ask feedback from me.
I would like to know why you decided to go for a route book style indication for the gps guideance instead of maps? I am not used to that kind of indication and I get lost quite a bit but that's probably my fault. I would also really like to export/import gpx files to upload a route from google maps, for example.
Also, if we could expect some further integration with iOS and Android in the future? It could help if the pairing was a little bit simpler, many are having problems with it.
The other only thing I believe some would appreciate is the ability to increase the tickrate of the info gathering in the telemtry for the app, I'm sure for some it would make it so that no other tool would be needed for tracking session in the racetrack.
Thank you very much for your comment!
@@HormigaZ Hi, I can't give you technical details. The choice of the root book was made for architectural reasons - the dashboard is just a viewer, and shows what the app thinks should be shown. For the management of the gpx, you have to ask who made the application for the phone. What I can tell you is that it was a great experience working with Aprilia, and the high number of videos I found on youtube confirms this. Bye!
@@jampicr , question for you then, why there is no info about how much more you can ride the bike on what is left in the tank? This is kinda frustrating for a bike full of technologies has no estimate.
I’ve been searching for this sort of video on the RS 660 for the past year but it never shows up on the search engine, now this video suddenly appear on my recommendation and it says the video is a year old. RUclips search engine is bullshit
C is for Celsius bro. It does not mean under water
I have no idea what you mean, can you explain
En inglés no brooooooo 😭
Nooooooooo tranquilo va a haber en Español e Inglés, como hasta ahora. Depende del día :D
I’m a noob rider. I got my license in mid 2020. I have CBR650R which is my first bike. I love it. But it’s weight is huge problem for me. Wet weight is 207kg. RS660 weights 183kg and thinking to buy RS660. What do you recommend to me?
Often the RS wet is below 183kg, but even then, 25 kilos won't do a lot of difference if you struggle with 207.
Sure, it will help, but it will only decrease the size of the problem a bit.
In that sense, I encourage you to learn with calmness to control the weight of the bike.
I've female friends that ride bikes over 300kgs and sure, it takes skill and it is difficult but it's not impossible and it is normal that you feel overwhelmed by handling the bike especially when not moving at the beginning.
If I were you, I'd buy a very cheap low CC bike that has less weight and try to learn with a bit less fear of dropping it to then translate the skills to the bigger bike.
.... peccato sempre inglese.... lo farò io in italiano mi sa... :))
Io non parlo abbastanza per farlo. Ma hai la traduzione che non está troppo male
