Aprilia 650cc Tear Down! Lucky Escape?

[@autoservicedestollenberg3426]

Nice insight in how this Rotax engine is build together, as a pro mechanic and owner of a car repairshop the only comment and tip I have is for you to work more organized, bits and part,s are lying tossed around on the workbench ,as an airtool buy yourself one with a double hammer system,they are both stronger and gentler for those enginecastings as wel, that hammer has to go, use a soft (nylon)hammer and a proper (plastic)pri tool when dismantling enginehalfs ,safe yourself the damage, these tools are not expensive.

this was god damn fun to watch, theres somethng so interesting about mechanical things

[@apothacon9420]

You had me laughing with "destroyed in England by an idiot in a garage with gloves that fall apart." Unfortunately, there is nothing to be done about the idiot part, but I have a solution for the gloves!!!!!!

[@lmtada]

Apothacon lol 😂...

[@christ4604]

Right them let put it back together again 👍

[@MattBlackY1986]

The flywheel is the big heavy magnetic bit. The bit you called the flywheel is the ring gear for the starter to engage to.

Liking the videos and you talking about how things work and changing the words if you get them wrong on recording it funny at the same time

[@danjones8145]

I started watching your videos yesterday because I’m interested in getting a 125cc super moto next month when I turn 17. I’ve subbed with notifications now

[@maycrotch8576]

Dan Jones spicy has done so many vids on a 125. They'll get the juices flowing 👍

[@balduberdriver]

Omg, that fly wheel got of so easy, I wish mine will come off the same way, this is the only vid that documents what goes where end how to tear down, thank you so much. What crank model did you buy to replace the old one?

[@CantEatRS]

Loving the content, I have a question any chance you can make a video of how to drill a bolt out like the exhaust manifold where i connects to the engine because one snapped on me :(

[@stevejones8665]

Evor Ha Ha that's a great idea I have a Lexmoto XTR125 with a broken Exhaust stud that's snapped off below the level of the Aluminium at the Exhaust Manifold.👍👍.rsm

[@antonnjames4626]

Can’t help but wince whenever “gentle persuasion” is applied to engine components with a hammer...

[@llJIMBOBll]

Hello fellow Hampshirion (IDK) just passed my cbt a couple weeks ago have a cbr 125 '08, loving 2 wheels, been driving a dirty car for about 10 years. nothing beats 2 wheels. speed does not matter, so much fun even under 40. Your videos helped me make the decision and I thank you.. JW is your Sausage Fest happening this year? or have I missed it, would love to ride up and see some nice bikes :D

[@barrypritchard2306]

I have got a 1996 aprilia pegaso 650 and how is it to replace the starter clutch as my one is noisy

[@HalfdeadRider]

Get an impact socket that is the exact diameter of the bearing and use that to hammer it out, nice and square, in a circle kind of way :)

[@spicy110]

I did do that in the middle part but wanted to make a hammer joke.

[@darkstar9448]

Got overheating problem what advice can you give me

[@adenlamb9916]

CLEAN IT UP AND I WILL DEFINITELY BUY THAT MAGNETIC BOWL

[@christokinieriem8796]

Spicy, have you ever thought of contacting Matt from "The Workshop" about the metal debris in the head? Thank you.

[@HalfdeadRider]

I explained on his last video, just a build up of metal shavings from poor maintenance, no oil changes. This is why we change the oil often, wear is normal as metal rubs metal, oil just reduces that by keeping it cooler, friction causes heat, heat causes wear. Spicy saw no evidence of worn rings because there would not be any (apart from the massive build up of carbon on the top of the piston, you would get some anyway, but there is a thick chunk), unless you measure the thickness of the rings compared to new ones/manufacturers spec. The engine would run fine but be low on power.

[@KingyFrags]

umm not going to lie i sat here clicked on the video and shouted out watch me ride!! because of your intro and my gf hit me so im blaming you for this argument, much love tho grate vid.

[@KingyFrags]

ps not a real row just us being sully

[@spicy110]

Hahahaha! Just say spicy made me do it. 🤓

[@ashleyrobinson7728]

That hammer has a lifetime guarantee look it up on the silver line website all their hand tools have it also really cheap :)

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

I bought that same hammer at Halfords for , about £10

[@Thunderous71]

Think we need to crowd fund you better gloves ;)

[@spicy110]

Haha I only used them to stop people telling me to use them! I don't think these people realise how rubbish they are in general. 😁
