aprillia sr 125

hi last summer i went and bought what i at the time thought was the most ugly bike i had ever seen, but i liked the back lights and it was cheap

about a month after buying it i wrote it off by crashing into railings which bent the frame

time to start my first proper project
so slowly i been getting parts through my plans are
172
gear ups
12.5g rollers
white contra spring
blue clutch springs
renthals
28mil carb
polini inlet
polini reebblock
new frame
replace damaged pannels
respray
and if i feel brave enough to have a go i want to do some moulding with the pannels not sure what im going to do yet and abit of porting and flowing.



got my 28mil carb



and renthals


put forks loom and renthals on new frame


the engine


i had trouble getting the nut holding the wheel on off even tried using abit of scaffolding bar and managed 2 bend the wrench
wheeled engine to the garrage to let them have a go with an impach wrench took them about 5 seconds :wtf: anyways took it home and gave it a little scrup with a wire brush and some soapy water

that was taken just after the first round with the wire brush its actualy alot better now...still not gr8 but alot better
after abit more polishing





update
was taking bolts off kickstart case and found out most of them had been rounded by a previous owner managed 2 get all but 2 out and then cut and hammerd 1 out and started on the last. i tried levering the case off and well it went horribly rong




the bolt managed to stay in....ut the cases managed to snap

update
got my new engine here sunday night and have been sanding it slowly since lol just finished 2night


and heres what the inside looks like



however as the new engine has nut on the outside means i cant use my polini gear ups and it also means i will have my old gears spare if any one wants

update
got a few bits today got koso clocks and clutch springs on the way


is that piston useable or will i need a new one?
also ran into a problem with screws holding the variator together

update

got a few parts today and im dissappointed with the quality of the parts to say the least


oh well least they here


update

got a few things this mornin
3 packages came with about 5mins between each so i managed to get back to sleep then door would ring agen was annoyin

had a look at the "instructions" that came with the koso and ive decided they clear as mud...if not worse when i say the instructions i actualy mean one side of an a4 sheet of paper not forgetting that 3/4's of that is to do with mounting the magnet on the disk im not lookin forward to this


update
well i been working away at the engine and its all finished and together ready to go into the bike the kickstart cover isnt completely finished yet will need more stripping



sanded front wheel for paint and im going to do the front wheel and forks aswel will make a start later today


plan for front pannel


and ive decided on the paint scheme too its gona be all high gloss/satin black with smoked candy green details want to do doge viper stripes in smoked green on the front pan etc

jus rememberd all inners are painted too


update
got some painting done yesterday and today pics dont do it justice its got metal flake in it and it looks bangin in the sun

 

update

 

wow that not gd

 

w

bloody hell ithought you had only bust the cover

 

throw it away and buy a new engine lol

not worth the possible snappage

 

Its worth welding, as stig says in the workshop take it down to a local welders and get them to weld it back on for you. It wont take long according to stig. Ten minutes if the guy can weld properly.

None of this was my info. It came from Stig.

 

w

i think stig is wrong on this no offence stig

 

I think Alexsr70 is right. chuck it and buy a new engine.

 

ali welding is alot harder, more expensive too.

for safety reasons i think i gave good advice, use it if you wish but WHEN it snaps you no why

oh shit and its in SR mounts........ it WILL snap

 

lol i guess i wont listen to the guy at the cbt place then lol he told me it doesnt matter and its only there to keep dust out tbh the metal snapped really easy it was so brittle should it be like that? oh and if any one has any old style 125 ac piggy cases lying around drop me a pm of post in my post on wanted section
cheers

 

cast mnetal is brittal m8 especialy ally n iron n shit if its stressed its even more brittle its strong in certain senses but if u have a flat peice n smash it wv a hammer itll brealk id get it welded but 150 is proposterouse i could get it done for 20 n u dnt need no ally jus labour u have the peice of all dont u ? as i said ythe weld will be stronger than the rest if hes good lol its an upgrade lol

 

lol beat me 2 it n u clearly nomore lol haha

 

New engine time after all.

 

bait u silly bugga lol i got a lump coming in soon fella so ill let u know.
snaped engines are a cunt ive had dhl deliver me a verry expensive motor (£600 abz's old one) to find they had chucked it about and the engine mount had broke and cos i signed for it they aint paying up.
i was lucky i had some cases lying about and it also gave me possibilitys for more work but still i had to pay for bearings gaskets etc when i could be rideing it.

 

spose its what happens when you get pissed off at the cases and btw i wasnt actualy hitting the cases to get the nut off i hit the cases when the kickstart cover snapped in rage i know it doesnt make it any better but the breaking hit came from anger not me sitting there being a spastic hitting the cases expecting it to make the engine go faster

 

next time hit the fingers on your other hand, then you won't be able to fuck your bike up :w00t:

 

lmao it might hurt
but yea all the same spose it gives me a chance to learn alot more then i would have originaly but at a price any one have any vids on installing a crank i had a look at haynes manual and they make it looks easy enough but i thought it would be harder

 

well it was still daft to hit the cases just cost you a new engine
