Hey Tom, my ‘08 RS125 has a problem with the clutch where if i put it in gear with the clutch pulled all the way in, it will stall. So to put it in gear i have to get the revs up, if not it will stall. Is this something that can be caused by a badly adjusted clutch? btw i love your rs videos;)
On Sunday , I'll be uploading a video on my channel ( this PatRiot channel isn't mine, it's on a iPad that 6+ people have access to) It's the only hydraulic clutch upgrade I've seen like this, the Ducati ones that stick out the side of the clutch cover isn't a good idea if you dropped the bike, it's going to brake off, but what I've used is small and tucked between the barrel and oil pump. It cost £8 for the pump & £28 for the clutch master cylinder & front brake master cylinder, I have the back brake hose as my clutch, but it's too long ( 8-10 inches) and I will have to mock one up and then have it made so it fits on the bike properly like how the cable fits I've been using it since September 2020 1700+ miles and I can say it's faultless and it slightly easier to use than cable and a lot smoother, after a few days without using the bike it goes a little soft & spongey, but it only takes a couple of pulls and it is back to normal, it amazing I'll post a link from my channel to this channel Comment section on Sunday 😉👍🏽👍🏽
@@tomdidit4216 I went to get bike ready and I broke the petcock 😳 So I’m buying a new one & I’ll get a auxiliary fuel tank in the meantime, I’ll upload my hydraulic clutch video as soon as I can 👍🏼
What’s the top speed? I love ur bike man , any performance upgrades? Ohlins suspension rare mono block ? Front suspension cartridge to adjust rebound and compression? Ecu!
Hi Chaitanya The top speed is about 150kmh as I have it geared for acceleration. I have completed some performance upgrades. Bigger carburettor, wossner piston and increased compression. No suspension upgrades at this stage. ECU is standard. It goes pretty well for a 125 and it is also light weight👍
My apologies Tom for assuming you were from my ends I found that such coin's fit better than a washer and if you have already chewed the inside up no point using a coin thanks for a reply
Hello again. Thanks for your continued support. Honestly I’m not really qualified to advise on this. The manual states that 75-90 should be used. It’s my best recommendation that you stick to the manual (just to be on the safe side)👍 Thanks again. Tom
Hi Tom, so I’ve been playing about with the Rs I bought, I found that the powervalve was stuck solid and the solenoid was solid, so after cleaning and freeing everything up I could tell straight away that the bike was running better, now I’ve noticed the bike seems to struggle going past 10,000 rpm I believe I’m running a 34mm carb but the bike seems too rich still smokes quite a bit should I modify the air intake to help with the richness? I noticed you have taken out your snorkel on the air box should I try this? Thanks
Hi Ronnie & Hilda. I’d be cleaning the carb components, checking the jet sizes then plug chop. I think and 155 or 160 is the standard main jet size in the 34mm carb? I have removed the snorkel for a bit of extra air flow, and allot more induction noise😀. Well done on freeing up the power valve. Good luck with the tuning. Tom.
If you have the pbhb28 could be vaccum from the bottom of fuel tap/filter or possibly your kill switch is cutting the bike out when going in gear, good luck
My apologies for the late response. So, when in neutral the bike revs freely - You put it in gear it dies. My bike cuts off immediately when I put it in gear and accidentally leave the kick stand is down. It sounds to me like your kick stand switch could be faulty?
this is what im loooking for and bang !
tommorow my clutch will be finally adjusted after new clutch cable clutch discs and springs
thanks

@@tomdidit4216 brake upgrades ?
Hey there
No brake upgrades - just sintered pads on front and rear👍
These bike have good brakes in stock form👍👍
What oil you recommend to put in gearbox
Hiya mate thanks for a tidy video I'm a big of that rotax 122 moter use a 2 pence piece next time you change your oil instead of a screwdriver 😉
Hi Darren.
Thanks for the tip.
I’ll be sure to use a suitably shaped coin next time… possibly a 10 cent👍
Cheers
Tom
My apologies Tom for assuming you were from my ends I found that such coin's fit better than a washer and if you have already chewed the inside up no point using a coin thanks for a reply
Please I have problem of fixing my clutch in Nigeria the robber inside the gear box keep melting
Great video pal!
Many thanks. Glad you like it! Hope it was of some use…
Hello what do you think about 75w80 oil for gearbox?

Hey mate,
What manual are you using? Where did you get it?
Thanks and love the content! 👍
Hi there. Thanks for your comment.
I’m using an Aprilia work shop manual. Email me direct from my channel email
@@tomdidit4216 Hi mate, I can’t seem to find your email?
Bravo
My aprilia starts and revs but when in gear and i try to move it dies
Fuel delivery problem?
If you have the pbhb28 could be vaccum from the bottom of fuel tap/filter or possibly your kill switch is cutting the bike out when going in gear, good luck

Tks u Tom !
are we going to ignore the fact, that there's 600cc carved into the panel?
That's the quantity of oil
Hi Tom, This is my go to channel for the Aprilia. love the carb tuning video to: ua-cam.com/video/3IzsN-HL6XQ/v-deo.html
Hello again Jaap. As usual, thanks for your comment and continued support.
I’m glad you like the video content on this one mate👍
