Aprilia Tuareg 660 - Throttle Spring Adjustment
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- Welcome to our channel! We create fun and informative videos about motorcycles, photography, and adventure!
This video is a tutorial on how to fix the tightly sprung tension on the Aprilia Tuareg 660 throttle. Many of the Moto Guzzi motorcycles have the same issue. For some reason, Piaggio Group, which owns both brands, has installed a particularly strong return spring in some of their bikes. It's not an issue for short rides. But on long trips or big adventures, the rider can experience wrist fatugue. By following this tutorial, you can fix this issue and have a more normal twisting resistance to your throttle!

As a Tuareg 660 owner ....
keep the videos coming.... thanks so so much. there is so few info and upgrade videos ...thank you !
Thanks for the feedback! You are so right. When I bought the Tuareg, I was shocked at how few helpful videos there were online. So I'm determined to help with whatever video feedback I can. We've got a playlist started, and have a LOT more videos coming! 🙂
Did the throttle spring mod yesterday. Much improved. Thanks 👍👍
Thank you so much for the comment, Mark! Glad you like the mod...
YES! Thank you. I'm gonna do it.
That's awesome! I'm glad we could help!!!
Perfectly nice 🔥
Thanks!
Interesting topic. I have 1500 miles on and off-road and I don’t feel a need of such a modification.
That's great! Many don't have a problem with it. But if you do some digging, you'll find a lot of riders notice the spring is much stiffer than other bikes they've owned. I traded in a Honda for the Aprilia. Now that I've done the modification, the Aprilia's throttle tension is the same as what the Honda's tension was from the factory. But if it doesn't bother you, that's fantastic!
I tried this a couple months ago after seeing a tutorial on a Tuareg forum. Couldn't get the torx bit to bite enough so gave up because I didn't want to drill out the screw. I now have 11K miles on my bike and haven't needed a weaker throttle return spring, but sure would be nice if it would have worked.
Thanks for letting us know! I'm sorry it didn't work for you. Maybe it just needed to be drilled a little bit more to give the bit some bite? But if the spring tension eased up over time anyway, that's awesome!
Wait a minute... the NEW project bike is a Husqvarna 901! - Frank
Well...the Norden has agreed to share the limelight every now and then. ;-)
Neat modification. That's a 'dimple' btw.
Oooh...I love learning! Thanks for letting me know what it's called. And thanks for the kind comment!!!
One more thing to think about…
