Very interesting video. Thank you for sharing it! I have been planning to take my Tuono 660 up 2 teeth in the rear. But I never thought about how that would impact the wheelbase and other characteristics. -9mm gave you wheelie issues on your RSV4. My planned ratio would result in -8mm. Would you be as concerned about front wheel lift/etc. on a bike with half the power?
Here in Italy we have a great guy called Gabro Racing, an Aprilia tuner which knows perfectly these bikes, who recommends first going with -1 at the front. I actually did that with my RS 660 this winter and I regret not doing it earlier. I have also not felt any difference in geometry, but can definitely feel the extra torque when accelerating
The RS660 is very agile as it is. I wouldn’t want an 8mm shorter wheelbase. My favorite gearing on the RS660 is 17/47 with 112 links. That will give you -2mm on wheelbase and a great balance between top speed and acceleration.
It's off the topic, but to have the selfie stick set up like yours, besides the holder and stick, what other tools or bolts you added for this set up, I notice you have a bolt added for the first holder( to make the angle towards the tail).
@@ALFAVITAGA I also enjoy your videos on gearing selection but they seem to be missing the relevant fuel consumption and range data. Would be great if you could recap
@@SGTMARSHALL1 Thank you! You are right, it is missing the fuel consumption part but due to me focusing on track or hard canyon riding, fuel consumption for me is insignificant on these types of bikes. But if it was of any importance for my personal needs, I can tell you that it barely affects fuel consumption. In other words Its not enough difference to even feel it. I could have added this part on the video, but I’m trying my best to keep videos quick and to the point. I appreciate your feedback ✌️
@@ALFAVITAGA fair statement and I appreciate your efforts to confine your videos and even though your personal focus wasn't directed at fuel consumption, you could have stated that it was negligible due to your riding style or its something that you don't personally care about even though the subscribers might
Another great video Mike. Wheels look nice. I know when you changed the gearing on the 660 you really liked the feel of the engine and the resulting shift in wheelbase made it also feel better. Did you end up keeping the 660 as was and what is the difference with the RSV4, just the additional power a weight making that similar change more noticeable on the RSV4 I am assuming? As a side question do you use the cruise control at all on either bike that much or could you live without it?
I could live without cruise control. But when I want it it’s nice that it’s there. I loved the 45T on my RS660. Changed the bike completely. It should be the first mod. The RSV4 does not “need” gearing as much as the RS660 does, as it has more power to compensate. But it definitely makes a huge difference.
Bro - can you do a video on how you installed the mounts for the camera pole? I can't seem to find what to use as a separator so cause it's not flush once you remove the passenger pegs.
@@ALFAVITAGA το βιντεακι σου με βοηθησε παρα πολυ να επιλεψω σετ απο και το τουονο v4 kai για το ρσβ 4 μου .. περιμενω για τις ζαντες βιντεακι γιατι εγω εβαλα στο τυονο το φαξτορυ του 24 που εχω τις ιδιες ζαντες σαν το ρσβ4 το φακτορυ του 24 που εχω και θελω να μαθω διαφορα στο βαρος εβαλα και στα δυο την νορτον την δισκοπλακα ποσω για να ελαφρυνουν και αλλο και μπορω να πω με προγραμμα γκαμπρο και φιλτροκουτι στο τουονο και χοανες απο γκαμπρο και στα δυο μιλαμε πολυ δυναμη
I just dropped 1 from 16 to 15teeth on my cbr650r and i noticed my clutch keeps slipping at 8k rpm and more in 3,5 and 6 gear should i switch back to stock cuz there is no racing clutch or something like this for my bike or should i try by changing rear sprocket teeth, i want more acceleration
Changing front or rear sprocket does not affect the clutch and it should not slip. Did you change the sprocket or did your dealer change it? If your dealer changed it then you should take it back and let them know that the clutch is slipping after the sprocket change. If you changed the sprocket yourself, change it back to stock and see if the clutch is still slipping. If it’s still slipping then it’s not your sprocket.
@@ALFAVITAGA i did it my own i Switched back and clutch still slippling but it just started slipping after i put on the sprocket i think my clutch is gone did the sprocket caused my clutch slipping?
