Aprilia RS125 2010 Spain's no.1

[Calum]

@NINJA TYGA supply new push rods for the rear sets, as there is a slight difference in construction.

Mine was a direct fitment and they look the same as your photo. So not sure what's going on here.

@NINJA the 7 from tyga set doesnt fit on the original item 10 from my aprilia. aprilia use m6 and tyga made with m8. thats the problem. but i will find out another way

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 OK so are the linkage rods the same length? If the original one's used a 6mm bolt and the new Tyga one's use an 8mm bolt, would that not mean that you will have to drill the fixing hole out to be 2mm larger? Or is there not enough metal there to do that???

[pedrobatista10]

@NINJA thats what i will need to do! Not fitting because 2mm difference

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 So the rods are the same length, it's just the different size bolts which are the problem???

@Calum hey, this works on my bike, right? kickstarter

@pedrobatista10 Right but you need the rest of the components. Which can be quite costly.

It is actually cheaper to just grab the whole engine, take the parts you need. Sell the rest.

[pedrobatista10]

can you tell me which more parts i will need? i cant find engine with kick anywere

[Calum]

@pedrobatista10 You need it all. Have a look at the parts diagram.

[pedrobatista10]

@Calum now i get your point, to buy a new engine :face_with_tears_of_joy: :face_with_tears_of_joy:

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 Although the RS and MX/SX 125's share the same Rotax 122 engine, the RS has an electric start whereas the MX/SX has a kick start. You can convert the RS to a kickstart, but you will need a lot of parts like flywheel, kickstart assembly, clutch case, starter motor blank off etc. However the biggest problem is you will either have to modify or most likely totally remove the whole left side fairings, in order to kick start the engine. You would be better off just sticking with the electric start and look at other ways to save a bit of weight, if that is your goal? Look at Titanium bolts, Lithium ion battery, carbon products or just go the old fashioned way by just removing unwanted stuff.

[pedrobatista10]

@Calum i will need a new battery, because mine is not good.

i will take a look at lithium ion battery to buy. thanks!

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 I have bought this one for my MX 125, I did find a conversion chart for Acid to Li-ion batteries, I'll try to find it for you.

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 I believe that this is the Li-on battery you need for your RS;

[pedrobatista10]

@Calum i found that brand for my rs, on the shop i buy all parts. 95€ for the battery. but its good quality, so i will go for it.

[NINJA]

@pedrobatista10 COOL - 2.2kg lighter, and 222% more powerful, there a top quality upgrade for-sure!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :winking_face:

[Calum]

@NINJA Don't need to swap the flywheel for an RS conversion.

[NINJA]

@Calum I know but the RS flywheel is heavier, so if weight saving is your goal then it's worth doing.

[Calum]

Sure, but if weight saving is the key then I'd go with no starter or kick starter. The idle gear isn't even on a bearing, it mates to the cases and incurs drag. You'd actually be better off binning the starter and bump starting it everywhere. Besides, the starter system is pretty light, if you go for a Lithium battery you will save yourself lots of weight
