Aprilia Extends Warranty For RS 457 And Tuono 457 In India After Engine Issue Reports

Over the past few months, some owners reported problems with the RS 457 and Tuono 457 engines. The issues were related to the engine head and the cam chain tensioner. Some users mentioned a loss of performance, and a few cases involved complete engine failure. Aprilia India responded to these complaints by offering engine head or engine replacements, depending on the case.

In a statement issued two weeks ago, Aprilia India stated that most of the problems were caused by unauthorised modifications or irregular servicing. The company said it had handled genuine complaints and resolved them.

The warranty update is intended to address concerns and reduce hesitation among buyers. It remains to be seen whether the engine issues are fully resolved, as customer feedback continues.

Earlier this year in Feb, Aprilia launched the Tuono 457 in India at an ex-showroom price tag of Rs 3.95 lakh. The Aprilia Tuono 457 is powered by a 457cc parallel-twin engine that puts out 46.9 bhp and 43.5 Nm of torque mated to a six speed gearbox. A quickshifter is available as an optional feature.
