    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 :thumb_ups:

    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

    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

    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 :thumb_ups:
