Drain only: 2.1 L (2.22 US qt)
R 220 kPa (2.20 bar)
Est. Range: ~310 km (193 mi)

4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Naked counterpart to the RS 457 combining a class-exclusive cast aluminum twin-spar frame, 47.6 hp 270° parallel twin, upright handlebar, 5-inch TFT, and shorter acceleration gearing.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Serving as a stressed chassis member, the 457 parallel-twin specifies 2.3 L of full-synthetic SAE 10W-50 JASO MA2 with filter 1A023538, verified upright via the crankcase sight glass.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Wrap aluminum foil over the underslung exhaust collector before spinning off the front-mounted oil filter so drained oil does not bake onto the hot catalytic converter.
- Built for a 175 kg wet weight, OEM cold tire pressures are 200 kPa (29 PSI) front and 220 kPa (32 PSI) rear solo—over-inflating to liter-bike pressures ruins mid-corner grip.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What oil volume, JASO grade, and oil filter code does the Aprilia Tuono 457 (2025–Present) require?
Because its wet multi-plate clutch shares engine oil with the gearbox, run SAE 10W-50 (JASO MA2) at 2.1 L (2.22 US qt) drain-only and 2.3 L (2.43 US qt) with filter (1A023538 / HF565).
How do you accurately check the oil level on the Tuono 457, and what are its service intervals?
Hold the motorcycle dead-vertical on level ground 2–3 minutes after warm shutdown and verify the oil sits mid-way between the Upper and Lower marks in the crankcase sight glass—never on the sidestand. Torque the drain plug to 25 N·m with a new crush washer. Factory oil change intervals are every 10,000 km, with valve clearance inspection every 20,000 km.
What are the cold tire pressures, puncture repair type, seat height, and range of the Tuono 457?
Fitted with 110/70 R17 54H front and 150/60 R17 66H rear tubeless rims (compatible with roadside plug kits), set cold tire pressures to 29 / 32 PSI (200/220 kPa) solo or 30 / 35 PSI loaded. Seat height is 800 mm (31.5 in) at 175 kg wet weight, delivering ~310 km per 12.7 L tank.
