Barn Find Motorcycle Project - Aprilia RSV abandoned wrecked now painted - Restoration complete!

[@migueldelaguardia]

Leaving this bike outside uncover deserve jail time.😪What a crime

[@stoneautomotive]

She’s back to half decent order now 😬

[@paul8161]

I stumbled on your original video where you found your rsv1000, I watched that and enjoyed it,, and then tonight I stumbled on this video, your video reminds me of a interesting story of me wanting to get back on the road after I had to sell my last bike for various practical reasons I won't bore you with, suffice to say I found a bike on tinternet that I fell in love with without knowing much about it, it happened to be a silver first generation rsv1000 mille in silver like your bike, but with red stickers, I stupidly brought it without seeing it in the flesh, got it delivered and immediately it started not starting, turned out I managed to contact the original seller and get my money back I was very lucky , I actually sent off a video to a paint shop of the bike because I thought it needed a re spray, the chap from the bike shop said it had been rattle canned, when I asked him what he meant he said some one had painted it several shades of silver , I re looked for another bike,found exactly the same bike in alot better nick in silver and after various upgrades by myself to get the bike up to date and make it easier to live with, hopefully I can slow down the spend on it, because there cheap to buy but not cheap to run, I recommended lowering the gearing with down geared chain & sprocket and get a evo airbox upgrade, a performance chip, a nice yoshi can and decent air filter..and whack decent irriduim spark plugs in instead of cheap copper plugs, it makes it go like a scolded 🐈.. all it needs now is tyre's, chain and sprocket again, oh and get a decent battery on it and trickle charger, even a Oxford solariser is great, just tops the battery up...lovely bike but goodness it likes the money pot. Bless Italian quirkiness. 😂..a couple more updates u can do is a starter solenoid to 150 amps, heavy duty battery leads will help it get going, any more info u need contact ap performance and speak to griff ,he knows everything aprilia if u don't, I didn't great dude.

Thanks mate 👌😎

That's a keeper well done.I'm doing the same with a 92 honda ns125 struggling for parts tho.

[@stoneautomotive]

Thanks 👍😎 That’s the problem with the older stuff now, a lot of companies are stopping production of parts.. I see Wemoto stock half decent pattern stuff for the old classics 👍

[@davidwilson6245]

Fantastic job !! Love these models- worked for aprilia from 1995 to 2009- working with Griff from AP workshops..top bloke..great tip to use ACF 50 on the plastics 👍.. they really need the throttle bodies to be balanced to ensure smooth pick up & acceleration, otherwise one of the most reliable italian bikes ever produced.

[@jayhancock2473]

Griff mentioned the bearings because its a major issue. The bearings are HK1812V. You will need 6 of them. You will also need 6 rubber seals. 18x12x3mm thick. I buy mine online from Simply bearings.

Bro with that screen screw just cut a slot in the head and use a flat screw driver no need to drill it out hope this helps on your next rounded screw

[@stoneautomotive]

Good tip 👍

[@Flexnes1]

Great work, the bike looks the nuts! But the bolts for the calipers as well as the pinch bolts for the spindle deserve some tarting up, methinks. 😉 Also, I find it easier when cleaning brake pins to put the pin itself in the chuck of the drill and spin it whilst holding some steel wool around it.

[@stoneautomotive]

Thanks 😎👍 Great tip with the brake pin, shall keep that in mind for next time 👌👌👌

Good restoration job ruined by a bad painting job. It is mandatory use a bicomponent paint. Even more on the fuel tank. But I think you learned it by yourself.

[@stoneautomotive]

The majority of things are a life lesson 😅 Hopefully improvements will be made with each project 👍

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

Really enjoyed this rescue series, one thing I'd have liked to have seen were the brake caliper bolts and the ones at the base of the forks replaced as the rusty ones detract from the fantastic work that you've put into the rest of the bike

[@stoneautomotive]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the series 👍😬 The problem is where do you draw the line, I didn’t want a year long project on the bench but understand your points 👍

Thank you & glad to hear the video has provided you with inspiration to have a go 😎👍

[@muzzamoose]

What fuel clips are you after? I have a 2000 mille R and i replaced all the fuel pump lines and clips including the main one under the tank that runs to the throttle body including the special quick release clip.I sourced everything locally here in Oz and it cost me a lot less than what AP charge not including their postage to me.I even replaced the 3 seals per injector for under $6 aud for both injectors using bmw seals. Note i would have liked to replace the injector gaskets but mine were still good seeing its only done 8500 kms from new.I also sourced a new KN air filter for under $110 inc postage and oil filter for $22 aud .All still cheaper than AP over their .

[@stoneautomotive]

It’s the fuel lines inside the tank (one that goes from the fuel pump to the filter) Awesome! Would you mind sharing the bmw model the injector seals are from as I will include them in the code description to hopefully help others 👍

[@MatNewtonTrio]

Genuinely blown away at the work/skills, and bringing that beautiful bike back to life. The end result is absolutely outstanding. That was one of the best restoration videos I’ve ever seen. Now I just need to save up for a garage. 😂

[@stoneautomotive]

Thanks mate 😎👍

[@m8jorerror220]

8 years left, really. those disc were to clean for 8 yrs left, maybe a couple of months but no way was it left for 8 years, sorry but had to say. If my RSV left uncovered for 2 weeks, then disc start to rust. Is a nice job you done, but there is no way it was left outside for 8 yrs.

[@stoneautomotive]

Why would I have any reason to lie 🤷‍♂️ The registration is included which can be verified when it was last in for MOT and look at the state of the plastics.. I agree the brake discs did not look bad at all for the time outside but it certainly wasn’t a couple of months. Regardless, hope you enjoyed the series 😅👍

[@ant25ify]

Curious and a very minor detail. Why is the rev counter going to 10k as apposed to 6k when it first arrived on initial switch on?

[@stoneautomotive]

The initial rev sweep on ignition on is the RPM rev limiter set in place. When the battery disconnected the standard rpm limiter light is 6,000rpm along with the clocks reading in KPH. Once I knew the battery wasn’t coming off again I set the RPM shift light to 10,000rpm 👍

[@yoshi3477]

That was a disappointing end, the whole paint job just seemed a bit to rushed even though you didn't even have the graphics to put on. The bit that's real shame it the rusty bolts, even just giving them a little clean would have helped. Those are the little touches that make all the difference in my opinion.

Hi been watching for a while now big fan jealous of your man cave I get you saved the bike it should have never been left outside i dont understand all that work time and effort to sand and paint black for the paint to be just as fragile and up close in perfect as before not hating just don't get 😢

[@stoneautomotive]

It’s a fine balance working out how far to go with a project, for me I enjoy the tinkering and learning myself and it seems a few have enjoyed following the journey with me 👍 If it was a forever bike I would have sent it to a body shop to have been professionally painted but this project was never going to be one that stayed in the collection.. I just love tinkering in the garage 😅

[@NWSTRX850]

If you don’t 2k matt this the first spill of petrol will f**k it. Available in a can these days

[@stoneautomotive]

Thankfully the petrol didn’t remove the fuel spits on the tank, certainly worth doing the next one with a clear coat 👍

[@rudiknapen4867]

those rusted brake caliper bolts(and some more on the bike) schould be replaced to dont you think ore atleast zinc plated again ..for the rest great job man

[@stoneautomotive]

I improved the brake caliper bolts in the next episode 😬 agree zinc plating would have been the best option but given the short time frame to complete it wasn’t an option sadly. Thanks though mate 😎👍

[@gary444]

My advice would be ditch the halfords spray paint and use a proper paint place they can do paint in tins with a proper fan spray.. so much more controllable and leaves a better job

[@stoneautomotive]

Agree, they are certainly not the best, maybe time to invest in a proper air compressor/ spray set up 👍
