Rebuilding A Wrecked 2021 Aprilia RSV4 (Part 9)

[@Benjamminoutdoors]

Love the new paint on the brake caliper pistons 😉 the caliper seals may not like it tho😅

[@NHlocal]

Please, please, please do a bit of research to find out how extremely critical it is for those front brake pistons to be spotless in order for them to function safely. The paint "overspray" that is on them could very possibly cause them to not work properly or completely seize up. Please take this as constructive criticism. I am not beating you, I am only concerned for your safety when you ride that beautiful bike. Really appreciate you sharing this rebuild with us. Keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy

[@-krull-8658]

I agree on that assessment, those front brake pistons can't be clogged with anything. Paint on them can cause faulty rersults when you need the brake the most.

[@NHlocal]

[@ghettochilds5766]

@CJ Media You'll need to replace the brake piston and seals due to the overspray. Don't sand the piston down due to the mm precision of the seal. You can always push the piston back then maskintape over them for the next time.

[@duc7686]

He could remove the pistons and spray oven cleaner on them to remove the paint.

[@ghettochilds5766]

[@chronophobic]

sick calipers dude, might as well spray paint into the brake lines since you ruined your caliper piston seals... thing changes after the canyon dive, please stay off ben's stash to keep your head clear, may you recovery well.

[@RodiGKaya]

Did you just actually spray paint those M50 monoblocks with rattle cans! Wow

[@TIIIMMMMEEEEYYY]

😭😭 My heart is also bleeding... And the pistons got paint aswell....

[@laz1go286]

Yes, you saw it right 😔🙄🙈 He absolutely ruined them! Not just their functionality but they also look like cheap Chinese copies now. Total screw up LOLZ

[@605kyky8]

Lol 😂😂

[@RodiGKaya]

@@J_Dos46 too much money not enough sense!

[@jrh0369]

You need to use vinyl fine line tape to mask to calipers. Fine line tape let’s you mask around different shapes and angles. Once you apply the fine line where you want then use 3/4 inch tape to finish masking. Ensure you use denatured alcohol to clean the surface anything stronger will cause solvent pop or lifting of the paint. Most of those paints have a TDS and will tell the proper flash times between coats.

[@MILEVOJVODA]

Line on caliper look like sh..

[@julian23561]

Dude, once this rebuild is finished, you're gonna have to track it, a lot safer than canyon carving and builds up skills.

damn you destroyed the brembos!!!! :)

[@Loopyeck]

Dude, please don’t take this the wrong way but if I were you I’d be enrolling in some superbike riding school, there are plenty over here in uk so I assume the states should have plenty too! It would help you out massively, plus it would make a decent video, give you some much needed fast riding coaching and be a good day out for you and a few friends. Just a thought 👌

[@ballardboy691]

I’ve only recently found this channel, it’s quickly become my daily binge after work. I am the least mechanical person in the world but I love bikes. Love the content

[@CJMediaOfficial]

Welcome sir!

[@adventure_rider_uk]

You should take pistons out of calliper when you painting it mate.

[@scaryt8153]

really a good automobil doctor who give bike a new soul❤

[@Shuuuuuuura]

Been needing a pair for my younger brother! Me and him flip bikes together and he’s just starting a ride, we both watch your channel I’m sure he’d love em!

[@mictaylor9531]

Great having a go but I’m so glad you called out the callipers. I’m sure with a few tutorials on stage lining you’ll nail it 👌🏻 Awesome as always

[@aronjanssen5702]

Nice!! 2 things.. 1: next time use masking tape that has a gel that gets activated when wet/paint.. this will give u crisp lines.. filling in the casting marks/dimples.. so that line will be super super sharp... Dont know if they sell "frogtape" or "kip ultra sharp" in your area.. 2: next time.. please take out the pistons of the calipers.. now u risk damaging the seals because uneven surface against the seals.. u dont want to risk them

[@vijaymasih7630]

Amazing to see you making the bikes and detailing each and every thing as new ❤❤❤❤

[@adrianstahel8366]

if you paint these calipers the cheap way, do it with very light coats of color, this way you have to put on a lot more coats, but this way the paint wont start to run meaning it wont go under the tape so the edges look a lot better

[@duc7686]

Also, oven cleaner will remove that spray paint if you decide to repaint the calipers. You could paint the brembo name in the red white green.

[@smus2845]

This bike is going to be so nice when your done with it. Its really coming together. Great work

[@twowheelsr6]

This are for me👌🏻😂. Black and red are my favorite colors🤣. Also you should definitely pain the calipers black and put the red sticker on it 👌🏻

[@mattm6575]

The gloves would go to my siblings who ride on the back of my 2015 triumph street triple all the time :) right now they don’t have any. Love from Pennsylvania!

[@NATUREPRESERVER]

Please, keep the calipers original. 🙏

[@Irnbrutality]

I'm an avid follower of the channel, but I got to say that you just ruined your calipers. The overspray will compromise the piston glide over the seals, not mentioning the seals are now ruined too from the paint. Will also contaminate the brake fluid that touches the paint on the pistons, resulting in compromised braking. Also painting the mounting surfaces where the bolts attach to the forks will throw off torque specs and the now added thickness of the mating surfaces has ever so slightly shifted the caliper position. Expect to fully rebuild and overhaul your very expensive calipers. Not one for stopping creativity, but brakes are one thing you do not want to be messing with tolerances. Rest of the bike looks great, but please do you due diligence with sensitive components. Especially with what is essentially an engine and a seat that can go 200+mph. Keep up the hard work CJ. Stay safe out there.

[@mulendrasinghshishodia7269]

You videos are so satisfying. I have suggestions you should add “previously on aprilia” so people don’t forget status of you rebuild. i do forget sometimes.

[@simon0721]

Nice idea on the calipers. You just have to put more attention and take your time on the masking and painting, and paint the brembo logo black

[@scottmurray2239]

Suggestion for the break calipers. How about painting them red with green, Brembo lettering? Bike looks beautiful. Keep up the amazing work 👍

[@johnlaw5762]

Agree bro…calipers did not work but hey, was a fun idea. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

[@filipematos1111]

Essas luvas eram top para mim, mas como moro em Portugal já não da😢 a mota está a ficar top as pinças dos travões em dourado com o logo em vermelho ficava brutal. Parabéns 😊

[@rcgamers5536]

Awesome progress as always! Those gloves would actually fit my brother's 2008 R6 track's bike perfectly cuz it's black/red, he recently crashed and trashed his gear

[@alexdpinheiro]

Good Work, Brother!!! This rebuild is amazing!

[@Motoreject]

Would love the gloves for my backpack CJ. She needs to be protected just as much as I do. Keep up the content brother, absolutely loving it.

[@Motoreject]

Also, I'm from Michigan and I just put 2 and 2 together and realized that I was looking at your S1000rr for sale on marketplace two days ago. I'm looking for an S1k or RSV4 and saw yours I guess. Too funny.

[@thabotsotetsi3191]

It's coming together nicely...

[@leonplatt9723]

paint the calipers black and take a small paint brush and paint BR (green) EM (white) BO (red) thats Classy!!!👌

[@aadhisvc3752]

Finally Aprilia video is here ❤

[@anirudhpoojary2378]

"Wow, these Dainese gloves are an absolute dream! As an avid rider from India I know you can't ship the product here to India but , I've always admired the quality and craftsmanship of Dainese products. Sadly, due to financial constraints, owning a pair seems like a distant dream. Winning this giveaway would not only fulfill my passion for riding but also protect my hands with the best-in-class safety features. It would be an honor to join the Dainese family. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to a win a pair of gloves. Fingers crossed!"

[@jcastillo9596]

I know your getting a lot of heat for spray painting those calipers however you tired something different sometimes it works and sometimes it don’t that’s what happens when you dare to be great keep up the good work!!

[@Dan-wh5iw]

Man them carbon fairings at the front look so nice😮‍💨 love what you did with the breaks too so clean, my girlfriend would love them gloves but I’m UK😩 your bike collection is amazing fair play bro🙌

I'm not in the USA but you will be able to send those beautiful gloves to my friend Patricio in Denver, CO. That Aprilia is stating to look amazing! 👌

[@lochecec]

I showed them to my gf, she said she loved the color! would be a great pair for her when she backpacks and eventually starts riding herself.

[@1995cosgrove]

Sadly I’m in Australia but the gloves would be sick! Since my crash I need to buy all new gear! Love this build, the carbon is looking amazing! Sadly miss the R1 build that’s what made me find you since I got him on my 2016 R1

[@MotoNPC]

Dude super excited to see you post epsecially when its working on the bikes but I do love the car rebuilds too. If I got a pair of gloves they would go to my Mrs since she is just starting out riding and she would love them!

[@bensonbuiltracing1760]

Those gloves would fit me and match my 22 mt 09 orange/red stripe perfectly. Been watching since the cbr 600rr, keep up the good work man!

[@stannedev1280]

Hey CJ, glad to see you continue that project. You are very lucky guy! I saw the crash with R1. Buy the way horrible idea to paint that Brembo brake calipers. If you can clean it and leave it original (gold) colour. Good luck with this bike. Not at last, don't break it! Ride safe buddy 👍

[@KovertMecha]

Another great video as usual but i’d throw some new pistons in those calipers for safety or something that can remove the paint that isn’t sanding. Also gloves would go to my girlfriend as we just picked her up her first bike last weekend.

[@mritititit]

Great try on the calipers they look great for a distance, if you don’t push your boundaries you will never learn new things. Next time I am sure you will do a job you’re more happy with. The gloves would be perfect for my son when he is on the back of my r6 or my wife’s cbr650r and match the rest of his gear but we’re in Canada. You should come up here sometime and check out some of the amazing roads we have.

[@lmrsr23]

The gloves would be for me. Great idea on the calipers, but unfortunately didn’t work out. Videos are great. Some more collaborations would be good

[@farelferdinand1089]

Is the paint on the caliper heat resistance? Because calipers are real hot when on hard braking. You can try using paint remover to turn them back to oem. Love your vids😍😍
