2022 Tuareg 660 - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: With 79 hp @ 9250 rpm and 70 Nm @ 6500 rpm of torque on tap, the Tuareg 660 is no slouch for its class.
-
🛑
Strong front braking: Stopping power up front is strong thanks to the disc setup, with plenty of room to upgrade further with braided lines.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: At 860, shorter riders will likely be on tiptoes at a standstill - worth sitting on one before you buy.
-
⛽
Modest fuel capacity: Range between stops is limited by the 4.76-gallon tank - plan fuel stops accordingly on longer routes.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: Budget time for routine chain maintenance - it's cheap to replace but needs consistent attention to avoid premature sprocket wear.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
Tuareg 660's Liquid cooled setup is low-maintenance provided the coolant interval is kept - old, acidic coolant is the main cause of long-term corrosion in the water passages.
Brake disc and pad wear
Braking up front comes from 2 x 300 mm floating discs, Brembo calipers with opposed 30/32 mm pistons - solid stopping power, with disc and pad wear best checked on the same schedule as tyre changes.
Suspension condition on used examples
The Tuareg 660's suspension runs Fully adjustable 43 mm Kayaba upside-down fork with top-out spring at the front. The rear uses Aluminium swingarm, fully adjustable Kayaba monoshock with progressive linkage. Fork-seal condition and rear linkage play are the two things worth checking before buying used.
Final drive maintenance
The Tuareg 660 uses chain final drive, which is cheap to replace but needs regular cleaning, lubrication and tension checks to get a full service life out of the sprockets.
Frame & chassis check
Built around a Steel tubular trellis frame with aluminium engine connection plates and integrated subframe, the Tuareg 660's chassis is straightforward to inspect: look for corrosion, cracks or repair welds around stress points like the head-stock and swingarm mounts.
Tuareg 660 - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
Before handing over money for a used 2022 Aprilia Tuareg 660 with its 659 cc enduro / off-road, cover the fundamentals: service book and oil change history, drivetrain wear, and any sign of oil weeping around the casings. This model runs chain final drive, so check chain slack and sprocket tooth profile specifically - a worn sprocket is a cheaper fix now than after it's chewed up the next chain. Now 4 years old, this enduro / off-road is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Cold-starting it yourself tells you a lot - a healthy Tuareg 660 should catch quickly and settle into a smooth idle.
Oil and filter changes
Nothing protects the Tuareg 660's 659 cc four-stroke, forward-facing parallel twin, dohc, four valves per cylinder like disciplined oil changes - stay on the manufacturer's schedule (roughly every 6,000 km or annually). Match the viscosity grade to what the owner's manual specifies, not what's cheapest.
Fuel system care
Fuel injection on the Tuareg 660 needs little attention beyond decent fuel and an occasional system-cleaner additive. Anything left standing for three months or more should have its fuel drained and replaced before it varnishes the injectors.
