Next fake video
I assume that you know that there is a choke on the left hand handle . Besides that, the Aprilia is sensitive on "drowning" evey time you put the fuel pump at work without running the engine
Surely he would like to know how fast his Baby goes even if he can't do it him self,to prove that he has built a brilliant bike
from a srcap start to what he's got a brilliant machine 😊😊
Good grief, those head covers are nasty ! Job well done getting it toward progress .
Hi
Nice work…I don,t understand how someone can not be carefully with a motorcicle…She need so much cares and love…rear need take a look caliper
I use wd 40 for cleaning stuff like this.
Just a bit stinky 4 a while after starting…
Another great vid. Defo worth getting some airtight goggles with a strap that goes round the back of your head
Get a wire wheel on those bar ends and spray them up,cheap and they would look like new
Spiderman's mum?………….HAHAHAHAHA!!
Good job bro keep it up 👍,how much is that 600 I come for it?
perhaps it would have been better if you had cleaned it first ,and a top tip never fill up brake or clutch fluid without covering up the clocks ,if you get one drop of that fulid on the clock face it will put loads of little cracks in the face ,,
Hello from Greece👍👍👍
Brake and clutch fluid is hygroscopic so possibly it’s absorbed enough water and then been evaporated when there’s been hot day?
Why didn't you just unbolt the while fuel cap instead of drilling it
Just about to do the same with my 2001 SL1000 Falco that’s been off the road for considerably longer, but much better stored. These videos have been a great source of information and encouragement that it might not be too bad a job to get it running and roadworthy. Liked & subscribed!
U missed oil change before starting?? This must to be the first one!
Be aware that your clutch retaining bolt is loose, it shouldn't rotate when you pull the clutch in. Also, change the clutch slave for an Oberon one, as other recommended. The OEM one tends to wear out and leak constantly. Check the oil level only as stated in the manual, dry sump systems are really great, but the oil level is a bit tricky, it should only be checked with a warm engine, or you'll get a false reading, as when cold it's usual to have the oil under the Min level. Also the reg/rec wires tend to melt at the plug, especially the 3 ones coming from the stator, so check their state before riding it. Also the grounding on the electrical side can cause issues with the charging/starting/electrical so maybe it would be a good idea to check the grounding wires.
I have mostly the same engine on my '04 Caponord and it's just wonderful
Before you ride it's worth checking dog bone and swingarm bearings if moisture has got in from standing they will need changing to avoid mishaps AP do a upgrade just done mine and its change the whole feel of it GREAT VIDS bud keep them coming 👍
know these well
Clutch-slave is leaking. Known fault. Back then every one was replacing the slave with after market ones with more seals. In N america it was evo and across the pond Oberon….also the fluid will go black right quick. Not an issue.
Charging curcuit…you want a robust battery. Failed starts have been known to break the sprag clutch in the starter. Look up battery mod. Also always start with the fast idle…..it's a grumpy motor.
Ckeck the one way valve on the line from the clutch pack. It makes the vacuum slipper work. They all fail. If you can blow in both directions the slipper will not work.
The engines are stout in these. Little chance anything is wrong in there.
You should've unbolteded the fuel-pump/filter from the very start!!! At that point,that would've saved You a lot of time draining down your battery and putting excessive wear on your starter motor. As it was clearly shown,when You removed the fuel-pump,the hose to the filter,wasn't even CONNECTED!!! Lol. So when it'd fire for a second or two,all it was doing,was burning up the fuel that got caught in that open fuel-filter hose and was sending fuel to the injectors via "vacuum"!!! Quite a learning experience,eh? : >)
Hi just to let you no have you heard off a place called WEMOTO have a look at them as I got a Aprilia pegaso mx650 1991 and they had the parts for me good luck.
Definitely loving the content on this beauty ❤
What are the chances that the loose fuel pipe was why the original owner put it away all those years ago.
Last time I saw one on the road was when I heard a dinosaur roaring long before and long after the actual bike went through. Great bike
In Norway we do not need a MOT on motorcycles. Only on cars every 2nd year…
Fantastic channel 👍🙂
Great job on reviving that classic. I wouldve bombed it with bug killer before washing. I was hoping you would keep original paint and clear coat the tank as reminder of its survivor status.
🏍👍👍
learn as you go I guess…
thats not hoovering thats henerying.
Nice ❤
Aprilias are lovely looking machines
Put a little bit of grease on the gaskets. It will help out, and if you have to take it back apart, it will keep the gaskets and ripping most of the time
