  • Welcome back to our Aprilia RS 125 Two Stroke restoration rebuild project for part 5 in the series. The Aprilia RS 125 is starting to take shape and in this video i'll be replacing the starter motor. I will show you how to tap the swinging arm to fit paddock stand bobbins. We will be rebuilding the Aprilia RS 125's pillion pegs, fitting new black wheels with Michellin Tyres. Finally I will be fitting a new chain roller to the Aprilia RS 125
    The Aprilia RS 125 rebuild is almost complete with just a few final details to finish. Stay tuned for more two-stroek videos coming up in the next few weeks.

    It's coming along rather nice, the black wheels are gorgeous. The guy at Robyn racing is an absolute legend in the RS 125 scene here in Belgium. If he doesn't have the parts you need I'm pretty sure nobody has them.

      Price was good and delivery was really fast so its a thumbs up for me! Thanks for watching, I think the wheels are much nicer and more importantly they're original colour :)

    Can't wait to hear it rev... mine is apparently 30+bhp.. and she really sounds like it when she revs.. I have rode her and she pulls hard for a 125.. so I belive it.. she's stripped down to rolling chassis and engine.. not going as far as you yet.. just making sure everything works.. but I will be in about six months.. hopefully she will turn out as nice as yours..

    I bought that same chain roller from PJME for my 2007 RS125. I noticed you put a small washer then the oem large washer on one side, on the other side you appear to have to put only the oem large washer. This would cause the large washer to bind on the roller. With the 2 small washers added to each side of the roller and the oem washers, the chain aligns with the right edge of the roller, rather than in the centre, but this is better than a binding roller.
    PS; you RS125 needs a JollyMoto exhaust to bring out the 2Stroke sound. Those Arrow pipes sound tinny in comparison
    I’m new to you channel and enjoy your videos.

    Great video once again! Will checkout the Facebook links too as I'm in need of many new parts for mine. Thanks to your videos my rs is currently just a frame and wheels! :D New engine coming this week with an arrow exhaust and new sticker kit arrived yesterday to take it back to the original design. It's a lot of work but will be worth it!

    • @letsreviewit8925
      @letsreviewit8925  4 роки тому

      Not sure where you got the Ducati link? They're white LED's so they flash white. Normally they'd have either a filter or orange LED's. :(

    Hi mate, how long does the black hammerite last on exhaust? as iv tried VHT without much joy to be honest. the header manifold bolts rusted even quicker than my header. so allen key just spun inside :/ was a nightmare. im now thinking of getting the new one electroplated. but if hammerite works?? (thanks for any help/advice) :)

    • @letsreviewit8925
      @letsreviewit8925  4 роки тому +1

      If you get rid of the surface rust that you're covering and treat it, it should last a year or more. Sadly once rust has taken its incredibly difficult to get rid of.

Do you know if they can be electroplated? someone told me powdercoat, but that would be ceramic, and way to pricey. :/ (Arrow street version).
