Aprilia India has updated the warranty package for its RS 457 motorcycle, offering a complimentary one-year extension on the original plan. Initially offered with a 3-year or 36,000-kilometre warranty (whichever came first), the RS 457 will now be covered for 4 years or up to 48,000 kilometres. The extended warranty includes coverage for repair costs arising from manufacturing or assembly defects. It also includes the replacement of faulty components with genuine parts and associated labour costs.

The warranty extension comes shortly after the recent engine-related issues reported by a few RS 457 owners. Addressing the matter, Aprilia India released an official statement attributing the problems to “unauthorised aftermarket modifications and irregular service schedules.”
The RS 457 was launched in India in December 2023 and is the first Aprilia motorcycle to be manufactured in India at the Piaggio Group’s Baramati plant in Maharashtra. It was joined by its naked counterpart, the Thunder 457launched in February 2025.
