AJP PR7: How a PR7 is built

[@whitedrguy6503]

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.

[@lindemanslaurens8048]

AJP, these are some EPIC bikes... I hope they will stay EPIC when the sales and orders go up.

[@trevornugent9680]

Wow! The quality and design of these bikes looks unbeatable, I want one. Great video too !

[@StepstoPodium]

You should definitely do a test drive then! and thanks for the motivation! :)

[@iancarr722]

What a lovely piece of kit, even better hand built. Been watching AJP for a while you definitely build interesting kit.

[@Brad-RB]

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!

[@StepstoPodium]

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 !

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.

[@Britishshooter]

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?

[@StepstoPodium]

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

[@Britishshooter]

@@StepstoPodium Sounds about right and it is Italian built (SWM owned) ex Husky unit so should be pretty good.

[@StepstoPodium]

exactly! 👌

[@bonnie-voyage1005]

Interesting video. If it's all done by hand how many do they make a month?.

[@StepstoPodium]

thanks for that 😊 If I'm not mistaken they can do around 20/25 PR7s a month. Maybe more.

[@Ianzandvoort]

I am impressed. Hand made and well made, I could build it up too but it would take me a lot longer

[@StepstoPodium]

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 😆

[@jonathondavis170]

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! 🤘💪😎

[@StepstoPodium]

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 :)

[@jonathondavis170]

@@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.

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

How solidly are these bikes assembled ? Who and where makes the air cooled engines ?

[@StepstoPodium]

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!

[@philski2589]

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.

[@StepstoPodium]

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)

[@crpth1]

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

[@Boudi-xy9by]

You don’t grease threads because the torque would not be correct. What I missed actually is some locktide on the smaller nuts 🔩

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!

[@supertedogpriken]

is that a SWM 650 engine? or does AJP have it`s own engine?

it's the SWM 600cc, yes 😉

[@eurcom]

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?

[@StepstoPodium]

The engine is a 600cc!

[@mafric750]

Don't see much grease on that linkage..?

[@StepstoPodium]

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!

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!...

[@StepstoPodium]

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 :)

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.

[@scannorse]
