Aprilia RS250 Mark 2

Hopefully next weekend

 

Mate!!.....Mate!!.....AWESOME I can't stop Bike looks great Chris, big job but a lot of satisfaction. Like every one, can't wait to hear this bad boy kick into life. Well done mate, it won't be long now.

 

Get it running and put on dyno next sat mate!!!

 

i agree with makka, lets get that thing on the dyno

 

so I ordered a few more parts for the Aprilia, a genuine RS250 battery strap cost me $6 , and a coolant cap was $10 , I enquired about the RS250 Powervalve wheel that connects the powervalve cables to the assembly, genuine Aprilia $144 each... Seeing as though I was at Springwood Suzuki ( Also an Aprilia dealer) , they priced me up one from an RGV250 and they were $22.50 each , huge difference

Full set of Aprilia power valve cables, $150, Suzuki were $70 , they should be here by Friday then once fitted, we can have a crack at firing her up.

If you are in Brisbane looking for Suzuki parts , try Springwood Suzuki ( also do KTN, Suzuki and Aprilia) they have been awesome to deal with and pricing has been competitive. I enquired about some Tyres for the Aprilia, Im looking at Bridgestone S20's, local bike shop $439 fitted for a pair, Springwood Suzuki were the same but said if I dropped the wheels down instead of having them on the bike, they would take $22.50 per wheel off the price, cant argue with that, $389 fitted for a pair

 

Its alive, started 2nd kick

 

Congrats mate! Great work as well.

 

Well done Chris, sounds sweet as !! Sounds better on the video than on the phone. Going to be interesting to see this beast on the road.

 

Well done

 

pity the vjmc run was not on until next week.sounds good.

 

Well done, now, calling all Brisbane 2 bangers lets get out for a ride what a sweet sound and smell it would be.
Briz.

 

new boots by Pirelli and sprockets, notice the product placement @KANEG

 

Those look mighty slippery mate lol

 

Won't take long on the 2 smoker to clean that off.

 

Think you are correct, they need bedding in.

 

front brake calipers are now bled, radiator is mounted and temp sender now working, tried to bleed rear brakes and have realised that the rear master cylinder is kaput. Need to find one ASAP

 

The rear master cylinder went in my old RS250, I was going to get a replacement here http://www.oppracing.com/product_di...-rear-master-cylinder-ps13-black-wo-push-rod/ but ended up finding a second hand one from a low km bike on eBay.

Love the work you have done. As I said in my intro thread, let me know if you want to sell it.

 

I won a master cylinder on ebay for $56 delivered, it is coming from Japan and I hope to have it early next week, then I can put the panels on, get some rego and give her a decent run
