Great call on using a socket extension as a holding tool for the swing arm. I've done the same thing to make rear wheel changes easier on my R6 track bike. Typically it's a huge hassle, with the need to align wheel, spacers, brake bracket all at once without dropping anything. You need three arms to do it. I came up with a neat answer along the lines of what you've done.... I use a socket that fits nicely through the chain adjuster and brake bracket. It holds everything in line while I insert the axle from the left side of the bike, which pushes the socket out of the way as you insert it. Easy peasy.
It’s insane how complicated the Italians manage to make what should be a simple task like swapping rear sets. I love my V4 Panigale but I’ve never been more frustrated than working on that bike. Every single little thing is a huge PITA. Looks like Aprilia follows that tradition too lol.
23:17 The beveled washer is closest to the swing arm between the Rearset and swingarm. The normal washer is what's used between the Rearset and the Nut.
I bought these because of the confirmed brake sensor perch and the fact it was in stock and ready to ship. Light techs are special order only and no confirmed brake sensor perch.
That's a LOT of trust in the strength of a plastic plate... you're hanging half the bike from it? Speaking only for myself... I'd have pulled the tail fairings off and hung it from the subframe. PS to anyone reading... if you don't have the luxury of a lift or ceiling joist, you can do exactly the same thing with a step ladder and an ordinary paddock stand. Lift bike, put ladder over the rear of the bike with straps exactly as shown, tighten straps, remove stand, done.
The plastic mounting plate on the rear is extremely sturdy and is more than stout enough to hang the rear end up from. I did use a ladder over the rear end, and a rear stand as you described.
It is easy enough to hang from the subframe if you remove the plastic mounting plate and the seat, however, if you like the peace of mind. The plastic you speak of is a mounting plate for a tail bag or box, just for your reference. As such, it bolts directly to the subframe, and it is extremely sturdy and designed to withstand massive pressure, as all decent motorcycle tail mounts are designed to do.
Hello, thank you very much for sharing this, exatcly what I need ! Just a question, I think the rear swingarm pivot bolt self-locking nut has need a torque of 110 Nm (81.13 lbf ft) instead of 100 ? The capture from Service station manual of RS660 2023 : drive.google.com/file/d/15c9tlnnxxQ0Q47izGvakQWWZMCeLRbkE/view?usp=share_link Thank you very much !
Agreed that these are crazy expensive but they're the only option out there right now. The point of rear sets isn't looks anyway... they're intended for track use. The $$ equation is very different when you're building a track bike.
@@andrewdouglas4211 true! It's the only option at the moment and that's probably why the price is so high. Will wait for other road options. They look so good though 😅
Best service type video I’ve ever seen

Thanks for this video, Bill. Very helpful.

What’s the benefit of these over stock? Do they sit further back?
Have u done the jet prime water pump?
Do you have the option of going lower than stock, or all up?
I have the Gilles on my streetfighter v4s
can u give your opinion betwen rs660 and mt09 ...overall...what you think its best buy
im in dilema betwen rs and mt9 sp 2021
the price is same...
Great detail, Bill. You're getting better. Some of your previous how-to's made me crossed eyed (tail-tidy and tank grips). 🤣 Keep it up.
@@CaliMotoTV BTW did those Spider clutch/brake levers bang against the fairing in extreme positions? Is it a big problem?
Hey guys quick question what is this mod for ?
Love your videos! I just ordered the rs660. I’m also new to riding. What and why do I need rear set controls? I’m learning so much from watching.
@@CaliMotoTV awesome! Thx for the help.
Hey guys loving the videos could you do a rs v turno 660 I'm stuck on which to buy 😉 cheers
Is that socket 5/8?
Super detailed!
Why screaming?
How much HP do these rearsets make??😍😂

1k for those is just too much and not justified, the look is great though
