5 Things I HATE About My Aprilia RSV4

I've had my 2022 Aprilia RSV4 for two years now and I think its time to talk about the 5 things I hate about it and Aprilia ownership in general. Sorry this is a negative video but I am just being transparent with my audience as I always have been.

I live in Texas and owned 2 Tuono’s, 2016 and 2019 and they ran very hot in the summer, 220 temp so not the best for city riding. Yup these bikes go through a lot of tires but that said I didn’t have any problems with either bike. I bought the RS660 last August and while it’s not as fast as the liter bikes, it’s fun, light, quick, lower maintenance costs and doesn’t run hot. Agree, Ed Cook is an honest guy and runs an amazing top notch dealership here in Austin.

I bought a brand new Aprilia RS 660 Extrema in May 2023, and I live in Germany.
I will list the cost for you in Dollar, the cost of oil change is 105 and I need to change it every 10k as per the dealer unless I go to the track then I need to do it every 5k miles which I do anyhow, the tires cost around 350 for a set of tires but I still did not change them although I ran for almost 8k miles. The front brake pads with installation also cost around 150 as a maximum which I still did not change as well. My riding style is aggressive but still did not go to the track on this bike. I never had any issue since I bought it. The heat is an issue but never goes beyond the fourth strip on my dashboard while at traffic light. The maximum temperature here is around 36 C in summer, not sure about the US.

I did the first service and it cost me around 250.

The RSV4 is not far away from those numbers by the way.

I hope that an owner of an RS 660 confirm the numbers in US.

I have owned the 23 RSV4 Factory for a year now. Not a single issue. I hope it remains the same.

Which liter bike is the coolest running one? S1k or Japanese ones?

I bought a new 2022 Tuono V4 RR from Reparto Veloce in Chandler AZ. They are a great Aprilia dealership. I highly recommend them. And yes, I absolutely love the Tuono. Graves exhaust, Gabro tune/airbox, forged wheels. What a neat bike!

[icyGrip]

Haven't had to deal with the dealership or warrenty thing yet but my biggest thing is how how the bike gets. I live in florida so it gets really hot if stuck in traffic. That being said i absolutely love the rsv4 factory.

[dtiger]

Yeah I bought my 24 Tuono Factory from AF1 in Austin they were super helpful. I had them put on the Akro exhaust... only problem I have is can't find neutral when you want to. kinda wish I went with the SC shorty.. but maybe save it for the RSV4.

I have a 2024 RSV4 Factory, it came with the Supercorsa V3 tires to answer your question. I too have a race ECU from AF1 and Sparks pipe. -1/+1 on the sprockets, stiffer Ohlins shock spring for my weight. I also deleted the charcoal canister and EVAP solenoid. I am sure that I will have issues with warranty if the need arises but I am a certified mechanic and do all my own services and repairs. These bikes are so lean with the Euro5 emissions. It is a shame that manufacturers are so reluctant to take care of their customers that keep them in business.

Great video I know what you mean about the service cost, I have Ducati 899 which probably not as expensive as the Aprilia but still it’s too expensive.i do all work myself but it just the valve check that’s the bad bit, your channel is the best keep it up your a legend 😉👍👍👍

No way you have to change your tires that often that's insane 💀 You'd have to ride hard all the time or do track days regularly like you mentioned for that to be the case. If you ride normally, I doubt it eats tires that quickly

[gertjanweststrate]

In genaral the service level drops. Cars, bikes, whatever you name it. Dealerships and manufacturers are using the small print to escape responsibility for their products. Off course there are exceptions, and they do well.

[migueldelaguardia]

On my 2016 rsv4 rf one front tire for every two rear tires.10k miles front 5k miles rear

[MrCovert]

Sounds great, but quality on these not so great.

[cootercooter]

AF1 has been great for parts.
I believe we've taken our RSV4s to the same dealer and I've struggled with them too. Great buying experience but poor service department.

[movem]

Thanks for sharing the truth. It’s a race bike, insane they would give you a hard time about a pipe with a proper tune. Good on ya for exceeding in communication skills. 👍👊

Are you happy with the finish of the bike? I've seen a lot of others complain about the plastics on this bike.

If you get there chance, you must check out the new fireblade. Possibly the best looking litre bike out there (stock), but it's 6k more then the RSV4 factory where I live. With Ducati updating their Panigali V4, do you think Aprilia will update their RSV4?
