Nice build again. I learned a few things there. The long video probably suits the detail enthusiasts like myself more.
That was great, keep them coming
Waiting on the RS vid !
qubitser so am I.... 😒
Well done! You've done a great job working on this bike! Great video too! Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Those grips and levers tidied up that cockpit lovely. I have one of these it’s a great bike for almost no money. Well finished fast comfortable and sounds amazing with the titanium cans
Excellent mate, really enjoyed both parts. I own a 2006 RsvR, and have enjoyed the simple explanation and presentation in lay mans terms.... now just need a garage to put the bike in, would love to do a tear down and clean on mine and reassemble. Really looking forward to the finish article. Mass Kudos to you bud.
i enjoyed that .. good content and the bike turned out great .. looking foward to the next one ..
stephen davis thanks mate she’s all finished shall be doing a ride vid soon
I learned a lot, thank you very much !
Great video dude
Hope we get to see it with its fairing on and first ride.
A 57 minute video sounds very good 😁
Hope you enjoy it Oliver
Lets Review It I’m sure I will, I’m glad that I found this channel
Looking forward to seeing where you go from here. I have an 04' Factory. I'm on my second one. I mistakingly sold my first one. Great bikes. This one has an odd sound when it idles that I need to sort out. Thanks for the videos.
Next vid is coming soon 😏
Merci. Instructif sur des points de détails que la plupart auraient traiter différemment, de façon plus compliqué, alors qu'elle est simple. Thanks, your vid allow people with minimum aknowledge , thinking how do the job.
Bleeding rear brake. Take Calliper off raid it as high as possible above the master cylinder to get the trapped air out!
Very comprehensive work done so far!!!
how to do that without popping out the pistons. you need to press the pedal to bleed your brakes no? taking the caliper off would be idiotic
@@Ady_Mih on the RSV you cannot bleed the rear brake conventionally. People upgrade to the brembo master cylinder from a Ducati for that reason . There really no need once you remove the calliper and raise it up. This allows the bubble that is trapped mid way in the pipe to then be bled out! This is how it’s done! You don’t press the pedal you put a tube over the bleed nipple and use a 20 mm syringe 💉 to pull the fluid through! It takes 5 minutes to do. Just remember to loosen the bleed nipple not to much! Before you remove the calliper from the swing arm!
There’s nothing I don’t know about this bike! As I rebuilt mine from the engine up!
Just found your channel, watched the rs125 series and enjoying the rsv build. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
The-Headlings thanks for watching more coming soon
Fascinating watch, I have a 2008 rsvr, cracking bike, brembo, ohlins, rotax engine titanium akrapovic cans, goes like stink sounds amazing all for £4k. Never selling it, did the Oberon slave cylinder and the new battery and leads from ap workshops, and I love it. I have Ducatis too and it’s as good or better than ones of a similar period for less than half the money.
Very nice bike and great video
Great job👌👍
Nice save on a cool bike :-)
Thanks for watching Paul she’s getting there 😬
Cool video! Keep up the good work
Thanks! Will do!
Unbelievable prices for spare parts for Aprilias.I used to own a 2006 Tuono 1000R.I was terrified of dropping it and damaging the petrol tank.Not much change from £3000 for a new plastic tank!I am not kidding.
Pro tip for installing the clutch fluid reservoir rubber seal: take the black hard plastic ring off the seal when installing it. That way you can top up the reservoir fully.
I didn't get that at first :D
pro tip, don't fill it up so full 😅
Still cant fathom how u have 2k + subscribers!!! You put out quality content man and u deserve more subscribers and views!! Would be cool if the next rebuild bike is a cagiva mito. Would complement your ducati v4!
We're working on it, but its hard going, thanks for sticking with us!
Beautiful cool bike! very nice project.
Shahar C thanks for watching
@@letsreviewit8925
Thank you!
Are you planning to do more videos on the RSV ?
Wonderful video. Hopefully you can get all the original style bodywork.
Lovely cat
RE: 42:00, apply vacuum to the diaphragm & test it before just replacing it. Its spring loaded to keep the flapper valve in the airbox closed at low RPM's supposedly to make more low/mid range torque, but mostly just to keep intake noise down. Plan on racing the bike? Leave it disconnected, & the flapper valve wide open ;-)
It’s going to be a road bike so keeping it as standard I’ve tested the valve now the bikes running seems ok 👌🏻
Well done amazing video 👍👍👍 where did you find the parts for her I've got to sort my rsv gen 2 this winter between work
awesome stuff. I dont mind long videos. keep it up. Would love to see some Japanese sportbikes as well.
Great and very in-depth video especially as I am looking to purchase a rsvr factory so it gives me all points to look for 👍🏼.
Where did you get that chain rivet tool from?
Hairspray for the grips next time! Much less mess.
Good tip! Thanks
@@letsreviewit8925 even better, use compresed air gun and blow them out
Would have liked to have seen you do a bit more of the mechanical work.
Looks like you have a hard job on your hand 😂😂
Well done mate
When you gonna shave your head like I have to do now 😂😂
Cheers dude... Few years yet :)
@@letsreviewit8925 come on for next update 😂😂😂 ps do more then 50 thumbs-up
You should put grease on one side of the gasket used, it will still seal but won’t tear apart when it’s next removed
Very very very nice video and thanks for sparing us the horrible music and theatrics.
Hi, great vid! I am currently having many similar issues with my Gen 1 RSV.
May I ask where I can buy the same chain riveting tool as yours?
Many thanks 😊
what kind of exhausts are that? looks fantastic and sounds not to loud.
Firstly many thanks for posting these restoration vids. Nice bike. I like the tuono version too. When you fitted the new chain you used what looks like an aluminium rivetting tool to attach the soft/rivet link in place. I had a look on ebay, cannot see it. Where did you get yours please? I have a kit in a red box which is not upto the job. Cheers Adam.
Hi Adam, talk to Bike Torque Racing, they'll sort you out!
Xwing Chain🤣💪
Iridium plugs increase the dead spot between 3500~4000rpm. Best stick with oem and save on dyno costs to find out.
I’ve never heard someone call it a “swinging arm” always thought it was just “swing arm”
There is a biker pub in Birkenhead 'The Swinging Arm'!
Well, it does swing so....
the chain riveting tool where do you get that ????
when fitting the chain you need to also squeeze the grease inside both chain link holes so the pins are fully lubed not just grease the x rings.
Yep did that, clearly we cant capture everything that we do or it would be 36hrs long :)
The engine takes a 15/50 oil. Due to the tolerances of a v twin
how did you get those annoying things out of the ends of the handle bars? i got new bar ends but cant figure out how those aluminum pieces come out after the black bar ends come off.
Will you do any more of this?
I think you need to research torque settings when you do work like this. One example being the swing arm....spindle 12nm, lock nut 60nm, retaining nut 90nm.
I can see you need more than two fingers to twist that throttle, is it like that on all the models?
What sprocket did you choose? Stock is 16-40
where is part 3? first two were great.
Where can i buy these Lextek slipons??
Motor regone larang murah po urusan kene...seko awal ra urusan..............mikir ben ra perang.saiki total ra urusan.
Where are you getting your parts from? I'm wanting to buy a 07 tuono and just want to make sure I can get parts in case needed. Thanks love the vids
Life Outdoors I get genuine parts from Ultimateparts.net they have loads in stock and turn orders around fast
Thank you good sir!
5:59 there's something wrong with the stator, normal Aprilia RSV stators are black and crispy 😅
Im not sure if thats a good sign or not!
What did it cost
MATIO KONO !!!!!!
why didn't you rebuild the fork & shock?
Jeremy Eden because the fork legs were too badly damaged it was more cost effective to replace plus the cost of rebuilding wouldn’t have been worth it considering I was going to sell after
please tell me you threadlocked the 3 stator bolts 😳
Yep :)
@@letsreviewit8925 thank god otherwise those bolts will be out and chewed up
@@letsreviewit8925 you aren't using a low strength green thread lock are you though? needs to be a medium strength blue.
What was up with the old swinging arm?
Hi Peter, thanks for watching. Its hard to see in the first episode but the exhaust had pushed a substantial dent into the side of it, so game over.
@@letsreviewit8925 wow was that from the impact? I have a 2001 mille to start after 5 years being stored so hopefully I won't encounter the same corrosion
Yep it was dropped on the right hand side I was really surprised how soft the swing arm is. It’s a lot lighter than you’d expect too. The corrosion on this bike has been bad but it’s cleaned up well it lived near the sea with no cover so quite an extreme case haha 😂
@@letsreviewit8925 nice job iv subscribed. Il try and upload a video of mine in a couple of weeks
Is this project still a thing?
that's not a mille :) it's a rsv1000. the rsvr1000 is the ohlins/mag wheels equipped variant. the mille has 3 variants and 2 generations. 98-00, 2001-2003. the rsv mille is the simple one, rsv mille r is the ohlins and mag variant
WTF. Mate; was this bike stored in the ocean for a few months?!
never ever put grease on the back of brake pads especially pads already made of copper 🤦♂️
They aren't copper and the manufacturers recommend it.
@@letsreviewit8925 they are copper coated and the manufacturers don't ever recommend it. old wives tale. all the grease does is attract grit and dust to stick to it and causes damage to the pistons and seals.
ask on the page you posted the link to and tag Griff 👍
Please don't put grease on your pads, it's not needed and can end up on the friction side.
LOL
Wrong oil! This motorbike uses 15w50!!!
10w40 is fine also .
@@bikerboi1983 in the manual 10w40 is not mentioned anywhere. Any oil "may" work, but the oil to go is 15w50 as the engine was designed to use this viscosity as per manual.
@@adriantravelian2216 this has been gone over many times. in the uk where its generally a lot colder than Italy/Austria 10w40 is a better choice than 15w50.
thats about it, use either.
@@bikerboi1983 Temperature is not the only thing taken into consideration when choosing an oil for an engine, certain viscosity is needed for multiple reasons, I do remember there was a guy being very stubborn and reluctant using the same argument that you use, it was very costly for him to use 10w40:
Search in google: 10w-40 allen noland
V990 is a VERY hot engine and the "w40" will cause the oil to be too fluid on certain conditions like city riding stop-and-go causing certain parts to have poor lubrication. Again, use whatever oil you want in your motorbike, but in my own experience (and others) a w50 oil is what this V-engine needs if you don't want to have problems.
@@adriantravelian2216 ua-cam.com/video/CZAGkHaAeVU/v-deo.html
I've used both oils.
the 10w40 definitely has better cold start properties for the uk climate.
I'd prefer a 15w50 for track use.
thats 20yrs of aprilia rsv ownership by the way.
