Your videos are the best instructional videos around. My garage was an explosion hazard til I swapped out the gas cap! And now, I'm going for the levers! Thanks again!
I recommend you to back track & install the rubber seal that is on the OEM gas cap seal I have installed this myself most other videos leave out the rubber seal good thing you realized which is very important without it there is a slight space between the cap itself allowing air debris & water in the order in which to install it plastic OEM base first then put the OEM rubber seal on top of the walls of the plastic base it’s perfect size then install the gas cap & as you tighten the gas cap down it will press into the seal creating the perfect seal I see that you tried to insert it from the top I’m not sure if you went back & put it underneath I would definitely recommend it Keep it up !
Haha good eye man! I actually did. I edit it out though. I had to remove the gas cap completely, insert the rubber seal, and re insert the gas cap. While tightening down the gas cap the rubber seal would move a little out of place. But I kept it in place on the last ratcheting turns and the cap pressed it in place. It’s not going anywhere.
@@ALFAVITAGA Only the brake one is adjustable, I have ordered them because they look great, in addition to those from other brands I have seen many complaints that they clash with the fairing ✌️
I’m 100% with you. I’ve been wanting to change the front wheel to black since day one. But the black wheel is out of stock for over 6 months now. I’m just trying to avoid painting it, but if the black wheel remains out of stock I might just paint it.
in the original cap the vapor discharge ends up in the convex hole, from there to the canister (with a valve that keeps the tank always under pressure), with the spider cap the tube must be placed in the other vent, i.e. the one that goes to the ground used for the too much petrol? thanks
These do not tread in. You probably won’t find and guards that thread in these clip ons unless you find Bonamici guards. I just installed generic guards that expand in the clip on.
Thank you man! I’m planning to install the Spider rear sets first, and once I install them I think I want to change to GP Shift. If I do I will make a video doing it. Just remember that if I do change to GP shift I will do it using my Upmap. This will apply only to RS660’s equipped with an Upmap. For the ones that don’t have an Upmap, the shifter flip will be the same, but the update to the ECU will have to be done at their dealer.
They fold during a crash instead of breaking and you can continue your race if the bike is still operational. If they do break, there is higher aftermarket availability compared to stock levers. Therefore you don’t need to wait months before the manufacturer supplies you with a stock replacement. They have the ability to connect to a remote lever adjustor, to compensate for braking fade. Some change their master cylinder that comes with aftermarket lever. For some it’s how the levers feel on your fingers while braking. Last, they look better in black, so better aesthetics. Non of these reasons are important reasons for a “normal” street rider. But all acceptable if they choose to change them. ✌️
Im having difficulty installing brake and level guards. So fkn annoying I got the evotech version for both sides and thing inside the clip on doesn't come out even with a heat gun. the heat gun destroys the handle grip rubber. Wish you had a video on that install = )
When I first installed it and went for a ride without earplugs, my ears were ringing and it was unbearable to ride. I stopped at a shop and bought earplugs so I can continue riding. After a few rides I stopped wearing earplugs and it didn’t bother me anymore. No ringing. I either got used to it or I went deaf and I don’t know it lol. Bottom line is, I don’t use earplugs.
@@loucas9608 The original reason is for track. You don’t need to turn off your bike to remove the key and use it to unlock the gas cap. For street it looks better. Plus you can add gas easier since the stock gas cap is not in the way. For some, it also helps with tank pressure issues by also removing the EVAP canister.
Super Vidéo, j'ai le bouchon de réservoir en attente de montage chez moi, j'aimerai bien que les vis soit noir c'est dommage. Pour le joint je vais mettre du double face au montage je pense. moi aussi je ne veux pas de vide comme ça.

It’s louder than it should be. It was too late to correct it as I had already uploaded it. I’m surprised it took 8 months for someone to comment this. That was all I was thinking about when I heard it on UA-cam and I thought the comments would be full of this. But as the channel grew, I learned more on editing plus I added a body mic for better voice recordings.
it’s a good video. Just hard to hear the instructions at times. A lot of people tend to put loud music on these types of things and it really distracts. Thanks for the video though!
That rubber boot trick at 17:49 is a life saver! Thanks for showing how to insert the vent hose for the gas cap!
You’re welcome brother!
Genius idea to cut the hose at an angle.. saved me so much time.. thanks man!!
Thank you! I’m glad it helped!

Thank you so much!! ✌️
12:04 For anyone who will watch this video for the tank cap, attention that the seal around the cap has a verse.

Another detailed video 👍👍
Thank you brother, you know it takes effort ✌️
the best videos bro, I have ordered the original Aprilia racing, I should receive them in 3 days, in the end I decided on those 🙂✌️
Thank you brother! ✌️
@@ALFAVITAGA crees que es buena decisión las OEM Aprilia racing ?
@@ianjoe9909 I think the Aprilia racing levers are not adjustable. Unless I’m looking at different levers.
@@ALFAVITAGA Only the brake one is adjustable, I have ordered them because they look great, in addition to those from other brands I have seen many complaints that they clash with the fairing ✌️
Man your bike is awesome. The only thing I would change is the color of the front wheel, I think black would look a lot better.
I’m 100% with you. I’ve been wanting to change the front wheel to black since day one. But the black wheel is out of stock for over 6 months now. I’m just trying to avoid painting it, but if the black wheel remains out of stock I might just paint it.
Hi, fantastic video. May I ask the brand of steering plate ? It is compatible with steering lock ? Thanks
Thank you! It’s made by woodcraft and it is equipped with a steering lock ✌️
in the original cap the vapor discharge ends up in the convex hole, from there to the canister (with a valve that keeps the tank always under pressure), with the spider cap the tube must be placed in the other vent, i.e. the one that goes to the ground used for the too much petrol? thanks
@@EmanueleFederici-z1l There is only one vent under the gas cap. For both the stock cap and the Spider.
Great video, Mike! Can’t help but notice that you don’t place the screw that you removed from the inside back, is that right?
Correct. The Spider cap does not screw from the inside.
That’s so interesting. Thanks for replying. 👍🏼
What brake guards are those? I have those same bars with the 16mm inner diameter thread and can’t find any that thread in. Do these thread in or?
These do not tread in. You probably won’t find and guards that thread in these clip ons unless you find Bonamici guards. I just installed generic guards that expand in the clip on.
Another awesome video Mike, thank you :), if you get a chance and can, could you show how to change to GP shift :)

Hello! Do you know if the gas tank cap from the rs660 is the same with the Tuono 660? Does IT fit the tuono ? Thanks
Yes, it’s the same for both the RS660 and the Tuono 660.
hi, where did you find the neiman cover in Matt Carbon?
I got it from AF1 Racing but they don’t carry it at the moment.
Trying to find aftermarket levers that DO NOT hit the fairing on full lock... do yours hit the fairing?
They do not hit the fairing. They clear perfectly.
been hearing alot of issues about aftermarket levers hitting the fairings. Do you get that with these?
Zero clearance issues with the Spider levers. They are my favorite levers.
What's the benefit of these levers?
They fold during a crash instead of breaking and you can continue your race if the bike is still operational. If they do break, there is higher aftermarket availability compared to stock levers. Therefore you don’t need to wait months before the manufacturer supplies you with a stock replacement. They have the ability to connect to a remote lever adjustor, to compensate for braking fade.

What are you trying to remove from the clip on thats not coming off? The bar end?
@@ALFAVITAGA no the thing inside the bar end so I can install the one if came with so the brake lever guard.
@@hyeGUY25 That thing inside the stock handle bar cannot be removed. The brake lever guard must be compatible with the stock handle bar.
@@ALFAVITAGA I talked to motovationusa and they told me they sent me wrong guards!
That makes sense.
You need earplugs for that SC? 😮
