AJP PR7: How a PR7 is built
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2018
- The AJP PR7 is one of the most successful bikes from AJP Motos. AJP launched the bike 3/4 years ago, at a time where the trail segment was clearly dying. The brands were releasing 1200cc "trail" bikes, where the focus wasn't on the off-road capability, but comfort.
The AJP PR7 came to change everything. The 600cc engine is more than capable of tackling anything and the 170kg weight won't stop you from trying out some climbs or some crazy dunes!
A huge thanks to Mr. Carlos for putting up with me the entire day, while building the PR7!

Now that is what you call an adventure bike, serious piece of kit.
I especially like the way they mounted the tank, that top subframe is a great idea.
AJP, these are some EPIC bikes...
I hope they will stay EPIC when the sales and orders go up.
Wow! The quality and design of these bikes looks unbeatable, I want one.
Great video too !
You should definitely do a test drive then! and thanks for the motivation! :)
Really cool video! After seeing it built, I want one. Love the airbox and fuel tank design.
Thanks Adam, I really appreciate it! 😊💪
What a lovely piece of kit, even better hand built.
Been watching AJP for a while you definitely build interesting kit.
At 4:18 the first torque wrench arrives on the scene. A true mechanic is putting them together. Great video. I would love to try one!
thanks for that! it's a great bike indeed 😊
That's a work of art, beautiful
So if i buy ome i will have to pull it apart n greece n loctight it can i get it in kit form lol looks good 👍
fantastic! Many thanks for this beautiful video
Thank you for your kind words! :)
Wow that is amazing 👌👍👍 great vid and bike looks incredible 😍
agree! Thank you so much! :)
I really liked this video How the happiness machine is built 😀 thx AJP
Nice bike! Good job! Guys you are really good ) good luck
Beautiful bike !
Indeed!
Sonho de consumo! Simplesmente é de se apaixonar! Essa é uma moto de verdade! Para o dono colocar a mão na graxa e ele mesmo dar a manutenção.
4:27 when things getting kinda complicated 😂
Amazing looking bike, love the design 👍👍
Exactly 😂😂😂
They should have a demo day somewhere, I'd love to ride one.
lovely bike
Gran Moto, Muy buen trabajo hecho en Portugal.
Espero que algún día podamos disfrutarla en Chile. Saludos.
Me acaban de avisar que estaran para el evento copa del rey en Santiago de Chile. Dicen que ya hay una moto para homologacion que estaria aprobada para diciembre 2021 y en ese mes esperan tener unidades para la venta. Veamos como estaran los precios.
Me aviso por correo Don Camilo Donoso. Espero que este ligado de alguna manera con AJP.
Great video
thank you very much, I really appreciate it :)
I am impressed. Hand made and well made, I could build it up too but it would take me a lot longer
let's be honest, it's almost impossible to build a bike from ground up in roughly 20 mins 😂😂 but yeah, it would take me some time as well 😆
All handmade? it's so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!
all the assembly is handmade, yes! 😊
odd no grease came out with the swing arm and he must have lost his torque wrench... ah he found it
Obrigado pelo vídeo...
Obrigado eu pela motivação! Um grande abraço! :)
I want one of these.
Interesting video. If it's all done by hand how many do they make a month?.
thanks for that 😊 If I'm not mistaken they can do around 20/25 PR7s a month. Maybe more.
eu creio que esta marca seja montada aqui em portugal,. pais com boa tradiçao no motocross e enduro ,.. e esta marca sempre teve boa aceitaçao e gosa de boa fialibidade ,.. os motores sao fornecidos por alguma marca , creio que vem do japao pra alguns modelos ,.mas o que supriende mais é a qualidade geral dos acessorios e no geral toda a moto,.. e o ponto forte deste modelo parece ser o peso,.. muito leve ,..uma companheira ideal pra aventura !
Nice video, great to see it come together like that.
Surprised they didn’t grease the swing arm bolt or any of the shock mounting bolts. Is there a reason why they don’t do this from the factory? Both my Honda’s were the same.
thank you so much! :)
I think you don't have to specifically grease it like that. the workshop where I leave my bike, they grease it with something like WD-40, so it's not that they don't grease it but it's not quite perceivable on the video maybe (I have to admit I did not realise that in fact)
A tiny bit of tech background. Most modern bushings are not supposed to be lubed in the traditional sense. ;-)
It might come as a surprise but it´s in fact quite logical. Reduce maintenance and most important reduce degradation.
Grease and dirt/debris make for a perfect mix of "grinding past". ;-)
These are modern bikes by design and engineering, so it´s no wonder that "absence".
BTW this tendency happens all over the mechanical industry, not just bikes.
Cheers
You don’t grease threads because the torque would not be correct. What I missed actually is some locktide on the smaller nuts 🔩
Some really good design features like the front mounted fuel cap for the rear tank. I have found the rear filler such a problem with luggage on my KTM690, have to unpack the bike to fill up. The easy access air filter is great too. Really well thought out bike. Anybody know the power output?
I agree! and the PR7 is made to have luggage. so that was taken into consideration right at the development phase. if I'm not mistaken it has around 60/65 hp
@@StepstoPodium Sounds about right and it is Italian built (SWM owned) ex Husky unit so should be pretty good.
exactly! 👌
Bom trabalho, agora falta a review a p310 para quando será?
Obrigado Pedro! :) isso não sei mas se conseguir por as mãos nela, podes contar com um vídeo :p
Mark my words, AJP is my next purchase. It will be a SPR 510R EN...no one will give ANY info on it, but it looks like a good piece of kit! Do you know the HP or KW rating of the bike??? Weight?? Wondering because stuck between the 2021 AJP 510, 2021 Yamaha WR450F, or the 2021 Honda CRF450RX...they are ALL fantastic engineering marvels! It would be so cool to have the AJP next to my TM Racing EN300ES (carb version - gonna install a smart carb II very soon)...to have TWO hand built Euro bikes would be sweet! Also, I hate to bombard you with questions, but what's the price for SPR 510R EN in Portugal/Europe??? There are limited pics, videos, and info on this machine but the one 58 sec video I seen of it was amazing - no one is building the chassis like that...looks very "state-of-the-art" in terms of technology! And I heard they were able to increase engine power from the SWM platform, which hopefully puts it back to 59HP at the crank!!?? Thanks for your time, once again! Would love to have you as a visitor in Washington state by Canadian border in a year or so! You ever been through the Cascade Mountain Range? Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker are the the tallest mountains near me at 2 hrs away each in opposite directions of each other...I think you would find the area beautiful! Have a good day, brother! 🤘💪😎
Hey Jonathon! I really appreciate the comment and the questions! I'll try to answer them all 😂
I was actually the R&D engineered at AJP when they developed the 510 and 310! My Master's thesis was the development of the structural fuel tank and I resumed my work there until the development of the bikes was done.
I can tell you right away that the 510 and 310 have nothing in common with the older models, they are new from the ground up, with the same frame philosophy as the PR7, and it is great!
From what I recall, I think the 510 produces around 55 to 60 WHP (if I recall right). There was made a huge effort to have the bike under 120 kgs wet, so you can expect something around those figures. Pricing and all other info, I don't have/I don't remember, so might as well wait for an update, but from what I know, they are just waiting for some parts to arrive at the factory to start building them! This covid deal messed up a lot of things in the process...
In terms of performance, the bike handles freaking great! I loved all the times I tested it during the CDI mapping and tuning. I bet there were some improvements from when I left but there are some fantastic features about the bike that we really worked hard into development. The air filter case is one of them!
I'm trying to find the best opportunity to get my hands on a production bike to make a review. Let's see what happens!
About your invite, I would love to!! I don't know how my life is going to be in the next year, but if I visit around your area, I'll definitely let you know!
Have a good one :)
@@StepstoPodium That is awesome, bro! Sounds like someone else is in the market for the SPR 510R EN! Lol But who wouldn't want to own a moto masterpiece that they had a hand in engineering and fabricating it - and there is so much more that goes into it! Euro bikes are designed to be a running piece of art, so there is alot of craftsmanship that goes into the process of building an offroad racing machine! You certainly have something special to share with your kids later - and then you can share the actual bike with them as well! How cool?? 💪🤘😎
I will be an owner of an SPR 510R also! 👌 My shop gets them in January as they are an AJP dealership as well. They sell AJP, TM Racing, Beta, Sherco, GPX Moto, and SWM! All are fantastic bikes! Cheers.
How solidly are these bikes assembled ? Who and where makes the air cooled engines ?
They are solidly made actually! But like every new bike, it never harms to get some locktite treatment :P
The air cooled engines are the old honda engines!
Thanks for the vid!! Seems to be everything manual...
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it! :) There's nothing automated actually!
Wááauuu que maravilla... Si el día de mañana pudiera comprarme una , a quien o con quién comunicarme ? .
Agora tens que ir à Nexx e Polisport ;)
Quem sabe eheh :P
Essa mota meteu me maluco. Mas de onde provém os motores da ajp? 👍💪💪
Boas! Os motores da pr7 são da antiga fábrica da husqvarna, em Itália!
@@StepstoPodium muito obrigado 😉👍👍💪
Nice bike, but no torque wrenches in Portugal??
bom video! perfeito! há mais videos de AJP?
Boas Rui! Muito obrigado! :D para já ainda não!
@@StepstoPodium é uma boa marca de motos, e Portuguesa, acho que merece um bom destaque e este video está fixe. :)
Concordo e obrigado! :)
Now that's a guy who loves his chewing gum!
so damn right 😂😂
@@StepstoPodium good to watch & see... clearly the assembler had things he was explaining... so WHY the faaaaaarking annoying irrelevent sound track
He wasn't explaining anything relevant, trust me 😂 you're better of with a soundtrack 🙌
Cool looking, but it looks like you have to be 6'5" to ride the thing. Don't they have a seat height over 36" ?
I'm about 6'2" and you can ride comfortably! but yeah, if you're short, it won't be super easy. about the seat height I'm not sure but I think you can confirm the on their website 😊
Tuga na raça, tenho uma pr3 mas a pr7 é obra
Concordo :)
e podes contar com um vídeo da pr3 num futuro próximo eheh :)
@@StepstoPodium OOOOOO o que vale é que já sou subbb
This has set new standards for my expectations when working on my bike; from now on I'll always be hoping for a cleanliness level of....new. Not likely it will be happening though....
Don't do that to yourself 🤣🤣 it's good to have a new bike, but the best bike to work on is a dirt bike, that means you enjoyed it!! 💪💪
And thank you so much for watching so much of my content, I really appreciate it!! 🙌🙌🙌
@@StepstoPodium You make it easy to watch mate, it's great stuff! Your Off-road Engineered series is excellent, so clear and concise - love that playlist!
Plus, I can't ride at the moment, so I'm getting my fix some other way! :-)
I appreciate it!! 🙌 Good to know Im making your lockdown easier to bear 🤣🤣🤣👌👌
um dia gostava de ver um team ajp num dakar ou num africa eco race...
Ajp portugal :) oh yeah
Só o melhor para os meus subscritores WOOP WOOP :p
Hand built bike but, no grease on the rear suspension links or the swingarm bolt 🤷♂️
I’d like to see him use a torque wrench a lot more too rather than just leaning on the spanner/ratchet ... if I bought one I’d strip it down and grease it up for sure!
is that a SWM 650 engine? or does AJP have it`s own engine?
it's the SWM 600cc, yes 😉
600 or 650? It says on your video that is a 600 but everywhere in the bike is 650. Witch one is right you or ajp?
The engine is a 600cc!
Real shame they never made these legal in the US. Would have sold loads of em
hello, what is the origin of the engine?
hello! the origin is SWM :)
ok but SWM uses the old HVA engine (510, 610...) no?
exactly, they are pretty much husqvarna engines. the PR7 uses the 600cc one
Tens de os incentivar a fazer a 300 2t
eles de certeza que sabem que o pessoal quer uma a 2t (quem não quer, não é verdade? xD )
Estava a ver o video a pensar no mesmo era tão bom que ele fizessem uma 300 2t de enduro.
Husqvarna tem bons motores, apesar desse modelo já não ser actual, a montagem da moto parece ser muito sólida, pena é custar mais de 10 mil euros, nessa categoria encontra-se a KTM 690 e Husqvarna 701 enduro, o que é que o pessoal com 10 mil euros na mão vai comprar!...
Este modelo é tão actual como qualquer outro, é um motor que ainda está em produção e vai sofrendo alterações, como qualquer outro. A grande questão é que 10 mil euros é o preço de uma mota de enduro qualquer, 250 cc, japonoca ou europeia, mas neste caso ficas com uma mota que é capaz de fazer trail como deve ser! Eu sou te honesto, não acho que haja nada parecido com a qualidade da pr7, principalmente ao preço que tem :)
E o facto de ser portuguesa?
For those who were wondering...yes, that's a husqvarna engine
Don't see much grease on that linkage..?
I'm not defending AJP or anything like that, but some manufacturers opt for not using that much grease so when you ride, you don't end up with a grinding paste, due to the dirt getting and and not getting out afterwards. But it depends on the manufacturer!
Steps to Podium with some more fuel capacity this could easily be my next bike 😊
@@mafric750 more than the existing 17L?? where do you wanna go, to Vietnam on one fuel tank? 😂😂😂😂
Steps to Podium not at all 😊 Certain parts of Africa don’t have that many fuel stations with our without fuel availability. I plan to travel Sweden to South Africa in the future and Sudan will be one the countrys I will pass through. I would prefer to not carry extra fuel containers.
@@mafric750 oh OK! makes sense 😉 have a great trip! 💪💪💪
husqvarna engine?
yup, from the old factory
Torque Wrench?? Goooden Tight
Nice bike but sorry only to see grease used on the head stock bearings 🤔🙄
Pq caralho tava eu á espera que metesses um story sobre o video e tu nada? 😂😂😂 btw otimo video. A ajp não é lá a minha marca favorita, ja andei em motas deles e pelo menos a mim deixaram a desejar... mas talvez fosse aquela específica que teria algum defeito... de resto sempre quis experimentar a pr5😀😀😀
A unica cena que me fode um pouco a cabeça é os motores serem chineses...
esclareço te já, os motores não são chineses. Os motores são na realidade fabricados em Itália. São basicamente motores da Husqvarna. Por isso que não seja pelos motores :p
pelo menos a maior parte deles, se não me engano, mas a ideia de que todos os motores tem olhos rasgados não é verdade xD
serious??? achava que eram...
Now im feeling dumb as fuck xd
Sem problema! É bom poder quebrar esses mitos sobre a AJP :)
a 650 tem motor husqvarna mas as cilindradas mais baixas sao de fabrico chines certo?
Grease /lube/loctite ....... WTF !
How about a torque wrench. I'd have to dis assemble and retorque every fastener.
😂😂😂😂
I really think this is just a promo video, and am sure all fasteners are torqued in a final assembly.
@@fasteddie737 nope, not a promo video, thanks! I filmed everything independently. what you see is what it is.
the bike wasn't build entirely with a torque wrench bit it was used in some assembly procedures such as the front suspensions.
Thanks for the video and letting us all know. I do plan on buying the PR7, but I'll have to loosen and re-torque everything to feel confident.
no parts..they sell the bike here but with no parts available
I pictured Chinese guys assembling them haha
looooool 😂😂
В маятник не мешало бы набить смазки. МОТ класс у нас такой не продают.
sorry but I don't understand Russian 😅
@@StepstoPodium ☺✊
Literally written on the engine "650"....why would you say 600cc?
yeaaahh. .. about that. .. go figure 😅 if you check on their website, they have a 600cc engine, but a sticker saying 650 and the name is PR7. don't ask me why 😂
Its a little bit disturbing to see how they build the bike without using any torque wrench.
No Loctite was wasted in the making of this video....
🤣🤣🤣🤣
the best direct designed enduro is ajp
I honestly would start by disassemblying the bike and build it up from scratch my self… it kinda made me sick to see him mock about with it
Not only you need to re-do all bolts with loctite. You also have to TORQUE them to the spec (if there is any spec of tightening those bolts). You also have to repack steering head bearing. This light touch with brush and what seems to be silicone greese will not penetrate bearing enough. The bolts from linkage also seems to be dead dry. No signs of greese inside when he push bolt thru. Good looking , poor quality assembled.
Funny....i have been riding bikes for 53 years now, rr racing, touring, adventure, offroad, enduro......never used any loctite, never lost any bolt or nut, and for 50 years i havent used any torque wrench....never destroyed anything, never lost a bolt or nut
Zlatan? Is that you??
Yes 😎
Interesting build video, shit music though!
Thanks, I guess 😂
LMFAO Just slap bit vaseline around the steering bearings it 'll do fuck packing grease in it
😂😂 slap it like it's yours!😂😂
@@StepstoPodium glad to sell mine too much a bitsa bike
too much a bitsa bike?
That's the kind of person I want building my bike - wrinkles, gray hair, slightly disgruntled attitude, and very sparing use of the torque wrench.
The guy wouldn't perform without his chewing gum.
😂😂😂😂👌
Falou de tudo e não falou da potência do motor em ps ,😬 ou quem compra não se importa ?
É um valor interessante de saber, mas no todo o terreno é um bocado irrelevante porque há outras características muito mais relevantes do que potência 🙂
@@StepstoPodium mas sem potência o que fazes , não gosto de apanhar pó mas há quem goste por isso não se importam !
O que te referes com apanhar pó? Não percebi 😅
@@StepstoPodium os que ficam para trás geralmente são os que não têem potência nas motos ou falta de prática ,a minha Xr650r tem 60ps e a minha RMX 250 tem 53 ps algo importante para mim saber como um motor trabalha .
Buy a torque wrench😩 and start using it.
Great bike , pity that AJP offers very bad after sale service . A company with a great product but no after sales service will not last 4 bikes in South Africa supplied by ajp direct to the customer here and all4 of those bikes are faulty and AJP will not fix them even after they shipped them. They now tell these customers the were grey imported direct from their factory , packed and shipped by them . Bad bad service , would never want one because of said service from the manufacturer.
Look like something between Chinese and home made bike tbh.
Anyone who's seen ajp know how this bike look like. And all electronic plugs have Chinese quality,worst than even ktm.
Anyone tryed to order any spare parts? This is mission impossible 12.
I have an SPR 250. Had the right hand engine cover leaking oil from the glass window. AJP sent in imediately, in 5 days it was in Malta. I can't complain re communication with AJP.
