@@terrywest5735 it's really not that bad.. just requires some time and patience. Maybe don't do it in the middle of riding season unless you have other bikes to keep you happy for a couple weeks though, lol.
I know that feeling when looking in at the butterfly valves and they're not factory sparkling clean from dust, dirt or even a micro speck. That feeling is so different than the one you get when things work the way they're supposed to work (from day one to the last mile and year a bike ever runs).
yeah, it wasn't a good feeling. I think most of it came from the Uni filter that I tried late last year. Going to try the Sprint filter this next time, and try to keep a better eye on it.
@19:15 , added something I learned upon reassembly. The clamps on the throttle body air tubes are Clic R style clamps.. not oetiker. I had never seen this style of clamp before. They're reusable but require a special tool to remove and reinstall them without damaging the clamp. I go over a few options for special tools that you can purchase, and also give you search recommendations that can be entered into Aprilia Forums dot com to make your own. I left the original content in there to show how dumb I am now that I know this information.. I would purchase or make any of the special tools instead of trying to use the ball end of a hex key to remove those bolts. I'm paying the price for that on reassembly.
After remeasuring today.. You can get a measurement on the intake cams from the front side of the bike with the short blades, but you can't really see what you're doing like you can from the back side of the cams.
There is I believe quite a # of specialty tools that will REALLY cost you I think. Should be covered in the Shop Manual. Your little box is just the tip of the iceberg.
Others have done this job without needing to purchase the special tools.. I haven't been able to work on the bike for a few days, because of life, but this will be covered. I wound up making my own camshaft tensioning tool.. but I may need to modify It a little.
@@1young-geezer Thanks.. I'm still trying to figure things out. I'm not in a huge rush on it, but hope to have it done within the next month or so... but would also like a working motorcycle at the end of it lol.. plus filming everything adds some time to the process.
I like the content. Love the shirt. lol "YoU'rE dOiNg iT wRoNg!" I do hate when you get to something that looks so simple, and you just can't get past it. Like some little hidden tab somewhere you got to hit, or line something up just right.... ugh.
don't worry.. plenty more content to come from this. I have my valve measurements now.. have to tear the valvetrain apart to get to the shims and see what I have in there though. That's the part that's going to suck
I was going to meet Rackhouse in Ellijay.. I usually go across Fort Mountain to get my early morning twisties in on the way there. There weren't any "Road Closed" signs or deputies blocking the road. Thankfully the cop at the end of the video didn't give me any shit. I had something like this happen to me once when I was 16, and I have been stewing on it for the last 20 years
This was my first real time using the 360... I may see if the DJI Mic I have will work with it, and hopefully pipe some of that EAR BLEEDING induction noise into a mic. It's sooo fucking loud, but sooooooo good
According to the DJI support forum. That sound is a "user generated" error. They say a patch should be available whenever I get my life right with God.
