The Helios Project (Aprilia RS 125 Rotax 122 Biaggi Race Replica)
-
It's done, lock this thread down The Helios Project is finished.
I took a small video to show anyone who is interested of the Hydraulic Clutch in action.
Not sure, but @NINJA Wanted to see the clutch perch for the Hydraulic system.
That's it bolted to the engine.
Back on the green for a few more snaps in all its armor!

@NINJA Yeah, sun was definitely out in force today. No doubt winter is coming though. Doubt this bike will see the road this year.

@Calum Well that's a damn shame, are you not chomping_at_the_bit to take her out for a spin then???
wrote on 28 Sept 2018, 20:38 last edited by@NINJA Can't say I am really that bothered to be fair. It's been so long since I've ridden a bike that I've forgotten the thrill. My DT died January 2014. So that's well over 4 years of not having a vehicle. Knowing my luck, the bike will probably shit itself the first time it hits the powerband anyhow.

@Calum Dude that bike sounds as good as it looks - AWESOME!!! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
And what's that leak, coolant or oil???

There is a bleed nipple at the top of the radiator. But I ran out of coolant to top it up with.
The fuel tap I bought from PJME is a load of wank. Just pisses out.
And I've lost the gear lever shaft oil seal. So it's leaking from there.Everything is all ordered up for it though. Next week it should be finished.

@NINJA Yeah well don't!
To be fair, you have this engine you should have known....
It's annoying, I know I've ordered it, just can't think what I've done with it!

@NINJA Sorry, I was only messing bud. I don't know what I'm doing half the time.
I went to start the bike and the horn went off lol. I accidently wired up the horn to the starter motor LMAO!
I was mega confused as I don't understand why the horn needed these really beefed up cables lol.

Also thanks. Once I got the horn and starter motor around the right way, bike fired up no problems. Was amazed really!

@Calum sounds clean too nice fresh motor, do you mean showing off for the go pro or possible thieves?
I've yet to take my engine apart and dude I am not as knowledgeable as you.
