Aprilia RS660 Mod Upgrades Pt4
Hi guys, welcome back to my channel!
This is the continuation of part 2 & 3.
I'm excited to share with you a video that has been a year in the making! As you know, I've been riding my Suzuki GSXR600 for a few years now. But earlier this year, the bike broke down at Anglesey Race Circuit, BIG TIME, which forced me to get my Aprilia RS660 blinged up for track use.
I hit a few snags along the way, it felt like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole (or in this case, trying to make sense of Chinese instructions!). But I had some great friends who helped me get the bike ready for Almeria in Spain. I'm so happy to say that the bike performed flawlessly, and I had a blast riding it.
And let me...

    Just to give you a translation of those Chinese words on dials. Left speedo, if you pass 40, it wishes you a safe trip, hence the words are " nice guy, hope you are safe for life". Giving the video is about the dodgy brake, those words are just what the driver needs. Right one is the electric charge dial, red is the charging zone, green is the running zone, words in centre means "Green, environmental friendly". Google translate sometimes is as dodgy as that brake.

    These occupancy sensors are to detect the weight of the person and if they are under a certain weight, I believe 40kg or empty, then the airbag won't deploy as it may cause harm to the person. Above 40kg it deploys. Someone under 40kg probably shouldn't be in the front seat. But the quick and cheap fix is buy a bypass dongle for about £8 via eBay which plugs into the connector under the rear of the seat (instead of the occupancy sensor connector) to basically tell the car there's someone sitting in the seat. As long as you can reset the airbag light yourself or have someone do it, then problem solved.

    Great work Mel. Makes you wonder why glow plug manufacturers don't make the plugs with slots ready cut in the threaded part? A friend just took a Ford Focus to be serviced, and the mechanics managed to break off all four glow plugs that they said needed changing. They now want an extra €1.200 to make good their work which they'd quoted €400 for. Do the glow plugs work every time you start the car? If not, with winter temperatures here rarely going below +5 degrees C, then perhaps they don't need changing as often anyway? Wish there was a local Mels Motors here!

    Impressive bit of tech repair. A bit beyond my skill set, though. My wife's 2002 has a bad fuel gauge and the info display has lost segments. Really sad part is that we haven't really used this car since 2015, and at that time everything still worked perfectly, but the wife didn't want to sell her "little car", as she only drove the Ford Explorer. Keep the car in the garage. Trickle charge on the battery, once a month drive a few miles then back into the garage. Once a year state inspection and renew registration. Fuel gauge failure was five years ago, but the info screen still showed miles to empty. Now the info screen is essentially gone. Two lessons here. One, if you don't use a car, don't keep it. We could have gotten a decent price if we had sold it in 2015, but now the dash will scare people away and probably cost as much to repair as we could sell it for! Second lesson: Don't buy a product of Volkswagen-Porsche-Audi. My 2000 Subaru with 235k miles still runs perfectly. Everything works.

    Im an Agricultural mechanic Chains on cars might not stretch but chains on a forklift lifting masts do stretch as we have a stretch gauge for when we service the forklift to make sure its safe to use so i know it has nothing to do with timing chains but yes you can stretch a chain .

      @@g.a.f3398 thanks for the info, but they don't stretch on cars and bikes as the loads are a lot, lots less than the lifting force if a fork lift. Every day's a school day 😁

      One thing I did notice in your vid when you were balancing the carbs, best results is with everything attached I've been informed , like you in video I've often balanced with them bare. Just a heads up for future balancing these maybe keep everything installed

      Hi I think they were 12mm long by M6, M7 tapered bolts are pretty hard to get! Good luck and thanks for watching 👍

      @@2madita there is no replacement interval for a timing chain, you'd only charge the chain if noisy. If it rattles when it start it from cold and then the noise disappears after a few seconds, then that's an early sign that it's time for a change 👍
