I own a Aprilia rs660 and its less than 2 yrs old, I hit a abutment at 55 mph and a piston connection rod broke putting my life in danger. I had it towed from the breakdown spot directly to a approved Piaggio/Aprilia dealership for a diagnostic to find out what the cause was. Upon inspection is when they found the rod in the oil pan and metal shavings on the magnet(mostly from the path of the rod to the pan). No other service was performed and quoted 7500 for a new engine and diagnosed that the engine was starved for oil.
Warranty department is denying my claim with undefined proof that the oil was the problem, stating that I had no service records, used the wrong oil, and used after market K&N oil filter.
Under Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, I do not need to provide service records and they would have to do a oil test to see if the viscosity was in fact the wrong type/viscosity. They would have to also do a compression test to see if the oil faulted the pressure valves proving the engine was starved. THEY REFUSE TO FOLLOW THE FEDERAL ACT BY NOT DOING STATED TESTS! Nor will they pay to have test done.
I am here to advise anyone that wants to buy Aprilia rs660... dont! They have been reported to have high oil consumption rates, clogged oil pressure valves and recalls in older models for poorly constructed connection rods.

Rsv4 have fuel regulation issues
TUONO have been reported to have the same issues as the rs660.
