Aprilia Caponord Rear wheel bearing replacement

After hearing a strange noise at low speed in Italy I've decided to replace the rear bearings in my wheel. oh and don't forget to lubricate those ends seals with waterproof grease . Also like I use it's always a good idea just to make sure to run a Lazer on the chain to check for perfect alignment.

Aprilia Peagso 650 Cube the next project has arrived .
Hello ! i have a quick question , would this corrosion affect how my ABS work ? My car simply wont acelarate and stutters , but after it gains speed it runs normaly. My mechanic says it needs a new drive shaft and abs sensors wich is quite expensive.... could he not simply clean it ? im thinking about taking the car somewhere else... i hope to get a answer from you , great video , keep going.
Yes they cause that effect when failing intermittently. You replace the drive shaft or just have the rings and or sensors replaced . The ring are about £3 and a genuine Bosch sensor is £30 . It took us about an hour to remove the drive shaft and another hour to reinstall. The drive shaft will need cleaning to place the new ring on .the sensor is one bolt . I was quoted 2k from BMW for two new shafts . It cost me about £30 in parts and four hours of my time . If you do this job yourself you will need that air gun that I show .

The standard front brake can be improved to be adequate on these by changing the shoes & correctly shimming them. I had mine relined by Saftek (who are local), who suggested that the glazing on the originals showed they were too hard a compound - last forever but not much stopping ! They could lock the original Pneumant tyres in the dry, though - which says a bit more about the Pneumant's grip capabilities tan the effieciency of the brakes.. EBC shoes seem to work OK, though & are still available, though IIRC Saftek do mail order. The internal operating arm is short and easily goes "over centre" as the shoes wear, reducing efficiency. Rather than use the handlbar adjuster to take up clearance, shim the shoes where they contact the cam - MZ spares outlets sell special shims to fit over the flat end of the shoes in 3 thicknesses - ideally the shoes should be shimmed to give the correct clearance between the shoes & the drum with the cam at rest to get maximum leverage. Also helps to fit a grommet onto the cable outer just above where the cable enters the brake plate to stop rain running down the cable into the drum when parked - wet brakes can be grabby & catch you out. While I appreciate that not many will have them to hand, BMW R65 side panel grommets are just the right size ! Nearest gearbox oil to the original DDR recommendation is SAE80 - Wilf Green got it wrong recommending GL90 oil, which is too thick and causes clutch drag and poor gearshifting. Iridium or platinum plugs give better running and seem to last for ever. Recently had better results with Denso (who invented Iridium plugs) over NGK.
Wow so much information, the front brake definitely needs fettling on mine . Thank you for your technical advice .
Thank you Captbarbs Garage for all your great videos! Also, I figured I would ask here if anyone can give me some advice. I'll try to keep this as brief as I can, while providing the important details. I recently acquired a 2007 CapoNord ETV1000. The bike will start sometimes and sound smooth as it's running, but it will shut off soon after. When I connect the single diagnostic wire, I get codes, 15, 16, 17, 19, 41, 43, and 44. Some of these codes are for the Throttle Location Sensor, Fall Sensor, and Fuel Injector #2. I'm not exactly sure what the other codes are, but this has me thinking that it is a problem with the ECU. I don't really know anything at all about ECUs and I've been trying to get help everywhere and anywhere I can, to no avail. There is only one Aprilia dealer/service center near me, and they told me they can't help me, because they don't have connectivity support for this model year. I have also tried the Aprilia Forum, but the site won't keep me logged in, and I can't find any threads that help me understand the problem. I have also completely read the owners manual, service manual and two other books related to general motorcycle electrical systems. Please help! Can anyone at least guide me to an easy to understand, comprehensive resource for how the ECU works and how to fix or clear these codes? Thank you for any insight.
Have you tune ECU? If so you can see the tps and see if Injectors are being fed a voltage whilst running and see fault codes etc .
@@captbarb6642 I don't have tune ECU, I'm guessing that's where I should start? My concern is that I don't know what I'm doing, so I don't want to make things worse.
Online there is a manual for safe operation of tune ECU if I can use it you will be able to. If you say it starts ok then plays up does that mean it's temperature related . A good place to start without tune ECU would be to check the plugs are firing the coils do go bad with temperature and time , then looking for air leaks on all the intakes whilst running ,check and clean the air control valve in the air box.
@@captbarb6642 Thank you, I'll have some time tomorrow to look things over. The reason I think it was a problem with the ECU and not temperature or combustion issues, is because of all the different codes, the temperature gauge reads about 150⁰ when running and it doesn't sputter while it's running or when it dies. The engine just cuts off, similar to the sound when you normally turn your bike off. I will also have to get a cable to connect my bike to Tune ECU, so I'll have to get back to you on this. Thank you for your response and guidance!
There has been issues with the ECU connections worth a check ,maybe worth checking the actual power to grounds on like the ECU etc
We all do love our trusty MZs and you did a reallly great job on yours. But maybe you do yourself a favour and open the garage doors so your lungs and the footage don´t get too foggy... 🙂

Nice vid dude. Had a rsv gen 2 and loved it. And hated it haha. Good video. Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks the gen2 is a nice bike .
Oh just a quick note to add we fitted standard roller bearings not taper ones , due to the ease of fit and forget no need to re check , and allegedly they are better at speed .
Well done guys a bit of a learning & bonding moment over a gorgeous bike.. We’re just on our way back, 16hrs across a stormy sea.. The weather meant that we stuck to the Normandy coast but we enjoyed it, lots to see. TT might be next or maybe the Capo rally, we’ll see how the mop flops…
I take it we are talking about France , any problems and how was the weather . How was the first class passenger on the rear of the bike .
Bike is running well, we’ve another 4 hours b4 the ferry arrives and then maybe 6hrs across to home.. Passenger reports “pilot a bit iffy at times but on the whole a comfortable and exciting adventure “
DOT5.1 worked for me Pat. Happened twice in the first year of living in Italy, never again after swapping to 5.1 ...... changed yearly.
Thanks Karl already swapped it to dot 5.1. It was hot one day we had a riding ambient of 37 degrees celcuis, the bike performed well.
Looks good Cap! Good job! I had a bit of trouble trying to get it smooth and finally managed to get a good response on the throttle at roll on, but its running rich, although the throttle is jerky when you roll off:/ Would you be able to upload your map anywhere, so I can compare and see where this might be coming from? You mentioned you managed to get a smooth throttle roll-off on your balancing video:] Would be very helpful! Thanks Cap!
Have you tune ECU , is my first question I expect so Mine is a 2003 so no cats and I'm running the swordfish map on mine previously I ran the catfish both excellent maps . But to help the first tiny bit of throttle I balanced the throttle bodies more vaccum to the rear for more air and more fuel.and took all the slack out of the throttle cables .if you have carried out the above and you don't have any air leaks then I would look at the map . Let me know your thoughts on the above .
@@captbarb6642 I bought the bike from a guy that had it sitting in his back garden over the last 6 years, so there were some electrical issues I had to find and repair before I could even get it running, but I figured it out by checking continuity between the wires of the loom, to see where the issue was. I also needed to see if the issue was from the ECU. So, yes, one of the very first things I did was try to find a way to get into the ECU, which very helpfully there were both maps and the software available online! Even better was the wiring diagram to help connect the OBD2 to the ECU as well! So that's all golden:] I tried the catfish map, but haven't heard of the swordfish one. I also balanced the bodies with a manometer, so idles well:] I haven't tried increasing the vacuum on the second cylinder though. I'm certain I don't have any air leaks either, I've checked the boots and around the throttle bodies and air box:] I though the issue with the choppiness at first was the TPS, and got a spare, but the readings and response was the same, so I swapped back to the original. I've replaced the throttle with an aftermarket one and have it very neatly at the moment, a tiny bit of play, to help me figure when its catching the throttle for predictability and its super smooth and free, new cables and everything! It goes without saying that I also drained the gas tank, replaced the fuel hoses, cleaned the injectors, etc... I have been running it for the last 1.5 years, just its still choppy, so was hoping your map could help:]
@MrSimplicity92 do a Google for the swordfish map it's free they are Italian maps . I think they have three pufferfish , swordfish and another I can't remember. Allegedly the swordfish is the most aggressive map they say I think it's nice . One other thing would be to check the valve tolerances . The reason it has more vacuum more air to the rear cylinder as fuel is because the rear has to turn the crank 420 degrees so alot of work . A lot of people balance equal which could be your problem .www.apriliaontheroad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=344&t=43049&sid=d994d5334208fb407a79f2057a5f3861&start=15 Try this link .

Are the good ,bad and the Italian
I had the same issue in Navarra, Spain. Came down a mountain road. Went to stop at a junction at the bottom, had no rear brake, got to campsite, set up tent, went out to a petrol station and bought some brake fluid, bled the rear brake caliper and basically flushed the new fluid through and it was good for the rest of the trip, all the way back through France. Had another problem on the way to Cumbria where the rear brake started dragging on the disc and got really hot. I then opened the bleed nipple and levered the pads off the disc and carried on the rest of the way without the rear brake.
Hi, this is a known issue with the capo, change the pomp for the aprilia mana/shiver one and 5.1 to solve the issue for good ;)
I didn't know that is it more of a problem in warmer ambients . I may well look into what you have mentioned.
Go dot 5.1 ( has a higher boiling point ) but also could be too much fluid in the reservoir ? But its the calliper you need to water ! are you using HH pads they generate too much heat on these bikes . Kudos to you for getting to Portugal .
You may be right about a little too much fluid and not enough expansion I swapped the pads the other month when I went to Italy and didn't have much material left on them the pads are sbs not sure if there HH. Just removed a small amount of fluid it was nearer the max it's now in the middle see how it holds up today only got four and half hours fully loaded off mountain roads down to Porto area 😂.
34deg,,,, good going guys..
Yes 40 in the sun very warm
Living the dream guys, tell your missus I can hear her :) I’ve forgotten what sunshine looks like …
Yes I left that on I thought it was funny. In Portugal now in chaves an old Roman town, with amazing mountain roads also .
Where can i find the caliper adapters?
The caliper adaptors were made as a special order for a group of people on the Aprilia forum if I remember right, I purchased mine from one of those people . I think any good machine shop could make them easy .
Hi, Changed fuel pump lines and replaced quick release connectors. The bike now refuses to start. Engine just spins over and makes no attempt to run. Is it necessary to prime the fuel system after the hose replacement? Besides a spark plug change, I cannot think of anything I have done to cause this problem? Any advice would be appreciated. Regards.
The only thing I can think of maybe you have a kink in your fuel line when reinstalling it we have all done that one. Or the quick releases are not allowing fuel to pass ? Does your fuel pump prime when key on if so disconnect the supply quick release to see if you have fuel there , then repeat on fuel return quick release if you have fitted one.
Sorry no prime needed it will self prime in seconds when starting
Buying a 2002 caponord with 22000 miles, this channel has been great in helping me make a decision due to straight forward maintenance of the bike. Cheers.
Thanks for your kind words at the moment on my capo in the Pico's mountains in northern Spain such a capable machine two up enjoying the sweeping bends up and down the mountains .
Very informative, always had the idea to do this never had the courage to start, i may now :) Thank you
It's work checking for peace of mind.
I think I'm gonna have a project and install MaxxECU to the bike, since TuneECU never works.
What's max ECU?. I've never had a problem with tune ECU
@@captbarb6642 MaxxECU is aftermarket ECU, which I already have put into another bike. Installing it to Caponord is pretty simple since it is already EFI bike so all the necessary components are there, and also fuel and ignition maps are available on internet so it would be piece of cake to install, especially when compared to EFI conversion from carburetor. Of course it isn't very cheap but which hobby is? :D
@@sippilandia sounds great but I've not had a problem with the old efi system . The only problem I had was getting the pc you had tune ECU to run slow enough to talk.

Digging that front fairing!!
It slows me down at my age and gives it a cafe racer look . Thanks . Is that the soul daddy from the AF1 site ?
It sure is sparkly clean in there, alright. One would expect to see a small bit of oil residue that was left behind from the oil that came up and then drained back to the motor, but not even that bit of left over film? Interesting. I'm more curious about the carbon oil tank, though. What's that all about? Could it be a molded cover or might it be nicely applied vinyl wrap?
It traps the oil and then runs back to the rear head when not in use ,it works well. The carbon cover for the oil tank yes that was like that when I purchased the bike many years ago I assume a carbon company had made them ,it might offer some scratch resistance if one was to have a little slide .
'Jolly's Carbon' made the oil tank carbon cover 👍
@@deanmsimpson maybe he did but not for me I know Ian ,it was on the bike when I purchased years ago .
@@captbarb6642 Ah ok, fair enough. When I first see them carbon covers I was thinking and wishing they were an actual tank rather than just a cover.
@@deanmsimpson it's just pretend bling .
I did exactly that switch a month a go with the drain bolt 😄. Tock me a little while to find that KTM oil drain bolt. It was really close that I didn't get the old one out.
Yes that's what I've been experiencing with my old ape drain bolt, I have a much better feeling with that 12mm nut .
Thank you
I have a 2007 aprilia tuono and apparently these have the same rotax engine but mine has stator problems that make it so it burns out every year, have you done anything to prevent this?
Yours should be a gen 2 being a 2007. I know some gen 2 suffered with what you mentioned and there expensive to sort out , they also suffer with the dash resetting and the mileage going back to zero.
Well set up that bike 😉
A joy to ride on twisty roads .
They wouldnt let me in the aprilia factory incase i stole some of their old parts .
might copy that one
Like I say if you have ever removed the old one it is always a risky undo so why not replace it .
I've done a short for you when we left the Pico's on our way to Portugal hope you find it .
Just about to put Bridgestone Battlax AX41 on,, have you thoughts on tyres?
I'm on my second set of Michelin anekee3 tyres after getting 12k miles . So very hard wearing great grip just keep of wet grass stones are ok .
Great job thanks, if it’s not the bearing check the spokes (watch out for the small grub screws), the only other I can think of is it a new tyre tread pattern singing at a particular speed!!?
I could only hear the noise at 2.6 k revs fully loaded . The only thing I can think of is the chain tension when I set mine up I set the 15 mm on the centre stand so wheel not loaded so going to do that again . Just checked tiny bit tight so spot on now 👍
wow
I also went to the factory that was interesting.
very nice

Rescheduled for early September , just need to have a closer look at ECUTune , the laptop is not recognising the connection.. Whats the starter issue? I’ve had a problem with the capo starter where it keeps cranking, even ater ignition turned off and emergency switch flipped.. I stop it by stalling it out , thinking its a sticky solenoid at the mo!! but that doesn’t explain why stalling it would work!!?
@@pardonwhat yep get rid of that solenoid switch. With tune ECU check the pc connection speed it's got to be slow for that old ECU . When I used my son's pc I had to tell it what speed but I've since brought my own and it must adjust itself . Have you used your Ali afr yet ? Also check your battery properly low voltage high current welding those starter contacts together so it I was off abroad change both .
